You need to force the 32 client back. Do it so by adding -32 in the end of your GW2 shortcut destination, i.e.
“C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -32

Very low fps (8 to 9!) after last update!

I’m exactly in the same position. I used to have a steady 20-25 fps before the patch (not a huge amount, but it’s something you can live with). Now I have, yeah, 8-9 and the game is unplayable. My guess would be it’s because they forced the 64 client onto us.

While I think it was an interesting move to destroy LA, if you ever touch DR I’m gonna seriously cry.

Requesting a Taken Name?

Just wanted to let you know that I am in an identical situation, where the name I desired appeared taken, so I emailed the owner. One thing that I really regret was that I didn’t reserve the name back when it was still available, which was something like a year ago. I figured that the name was so rare and weird that no one beside me would claim it, so I might just as well wait until I get a new character slot and until I sketch a proper persona for that name in my head. Time went by, and when I got everything set, the name proved to be taken Even worse, once I added that person, I learned he’s not playing at all anymore. He must have created the character in question, maybe played for a week or two, and then left.
So like I said in the beginning – I emailed him, but since he’s no longer playing, he hasn’t read the message. I figured a good way to let him know of the case would be PM-ing him here, on the forum, as he would obviously get an email notification of a forum private message. But I tested it, and bummer, there are no email notifications on this forum

Random Gold

I accidentally stumbled upon this thread and it made me a bit concerned. So if a person A wants to be a commander or needs money for some other reason and A’s friend/guildie called B has the money to help and WANTS to help, can this be incorrectly interpreted by ANet as an RMT transaction and lead to a ban? I know I’m a bit paranoid and also this is a different case than the one described in the thread, but since, as someone said, “the only thing they [ANet] can see is step C” which is “the seller sends you the gold in the game”, how can the mentioned friends/guildies prove themselves innocent?

I’m going to craft a weapon in the Mystic Forge that requires 250 Vials of Powerful Blood (among other stuff). I could simply buy them, but forging them from the lesser materials (potent blood, etc.) is somewhat more fun (depends on luck and is not so straightforward) and also, as I noticed, can be a bit more profitable (you can get 5-12 vials, and usually if you get 7+, it’s a profit). That’s why I wanted to ask if crafting such big amount through Mystic Forge won’t be considered an exploit, as it somewhat is gaining money with little effort on a large scale.

So I’ve seen some suggestions on how turning karma directly into gold is something against the intentions of Anet and how it might be considered an exploit which ends up in banning. I’ve seen threads on such examples including buying rare/exotic gear for karma, putting it into Mystic Forge and salvaging the received rare/exotic for ecto. I can agree that this method is somewhat “twisted” and might be seen as shady and some might not like it. But I wanted to ask about a different case – the Lost Orrian Jewelry Boxes. What if I bought tons of them (using, say, 500k of karma) and sold all the received items, that is the stacks of unidentifiable objects and, depending on my luck, some of the most expensive crafting materials, getting as a result a couple of gold? Is this an exploit? Is this “turning karma directly into gold, and hence, forbidden”? On the other hand, it’s a very direct way of using karma, there’s nothing twisted or shady about it. But indeed it’s done in a massive amount and results in getting gold. So is this okay? If not, then where’s the line between okay and not okay?
Sorry for getting into such details, and maybe I’m just paranoid but I want to feel secure before I get my account banned. Thanks.
