Protect Krewe leader Dobbs as the krewe clears the excavation site
Has anyone actually confirmed this event to be fixed? I have been waiting around a few hours now and the event never starts. Looked it up on the known issues tracker and it is said to be fixed although it doesn’t seem like it.

Yes I see that but how is it fair to me? Why should I have to pay more money while new players don’t? Why am I getting punished for buying the core game when it released?
How are you being punished? You played the game for three years. New players won’t be getting everything you got. You can continue to play just as you are, not buy HoT, and still be better off than the F2P players.
It is not the F2P I have a problem with. I think it’s a great idea. My problem is that new players can buy both the core game and HoT for HALF the price of what I paid for my games. How is this fair?
Because they aren’t getting the same game that you paid for. There will be no Living Story and those 40 other updates we had over the last three years. What do they have to pay for with GW2 Core?
The entire story for the core game that I also paid for? The living story was great and all but it was free so it shouldn’t even be brought into the picture. The core game is still a game with a storyline.
Okay, I see what you’re are saying. That part never changes, and a lot of players get bored with that, so that is why they offer the new stuff. I wouldn’t call it “free”, you paid for that, too. We knew there would be content releases when we purchased the game, so that could definitely have been a selling point for many a player. But you see the core game as the game, maybe you are a player who doesn’t participate in a lot of the new stuff. Okay, I get that.
Still, you can’t look at things this way. Do YOU feel that YOU got your money’s worth? If yes, that’s all that matters. Making it free with limited content at a later time doesn’t change the fact that you were satisfied with your purchase.
As I said it is not the F2P I have a problem with. Once again I think it’s a great idea. My problem is that you can buy HoT and get the core game for free, but I who already bought the core game now has to pay for HoT. It wouldn’t be a problem if new players paid for both games instead of just one.
Okay. I’m not gonna lie, I AM a little bothered by it. Mostly b/c it seemed we were promised continuing and changing content, and at release ANet was adamant that there would never be expansions with this game (or so I seem to recall).
But I don’t see how else ANet could handle an expansion. What would be the point in releasing an expansion and giving it to their current customers for free? That’s unreasonable to expect a company not to be able to profit off their work. I don’t feel that it’s “owed” to me. And the only way I can look at it is that the $60 I paid in 2012 was for the last three years of game I have enjoyed. I can keep playing that content without buying HoT. They’re not taking that away from me. But if I want to play the new content, I have to pay $50 just like everyone else. I don’t see how it could be any other way. So, you either buy it or you don’t.
Indeed. I agree, we should pay for the game. I just cant see why new players shouldn’t. We could turn it around and say they are paying for the core game but getting HoT for free since the price is the same for both games. All I’m saying is that new players who, maybe, tried F2P and wants to buy the game should pay for both games, just like we have to.

It’s not free for new players.
Yes I realise that. I can’t see how it justifies the problem that new players who buy HoT gets the entire core game for free while I have to pay for both because I’m a veteran player

I dont have a problem with f2p, I think it’s a fantastic idea. I don’t have a problem the base game not getting any future updates because the base game is basically finished. Ofcourse I also bought HoT.
As a veteran gw2 player I have had to pay for two games. The base game and HoT. That is perfectly fine. What I don’t understand is that new players only have to pay for one game while I have to pay for two games. This makes me feel like I have wasted my money because I did not wait until all the expansions came out so I could save a bunch of money. I think it is really unfair to the playes who purchased the game when it came out.
New players should pay for both games, not just one.
It’s a means of getting everyone to play together, and to make new players feel as though they aren’t the ones losing money, by paying for a base game that they dont really want compared to the expanded version.
One reason I never got into WoW is cuz I didn’t want to have to by like 3 expansions even though I just wanted to get to the last one to play with my brother. If Blizz had done what Anet is doing now, then the way would have open for me.

You aren’t being punished. New players are being given a gift.
Actually no, I wanna hear this. How are you being punished exactly? I’m curious
Alright I admit it. Punished was an overstatement. My bad. My question is the basic problem that arises in every family at some point.
If you have two kids and you only give one of them a gift, the other is going to get angry/sad/feel left out. Why do new players get this “gift” while a veteran player gets nothing? Is this fair to me to charge me more than the new players just because I played the game before HoT came out?

The saying “Time is money”is relevant here. You’ve payed for 3 years of GW2. Not gonna talk about HoT because its the same for you and the new player- they have to buy it to get its benefits.
Nope! I bought the core game for kitten . I also bought HoT for kitten . New players get both the core game and HoT for kitten

I read in another post where the word “soon” was thrown out too that they didn’t want to give a date in case something went wrong in the process of fixing the bug therefore they used the word soon
I’ve tried for about a week now to get through this story but everytime I try this one guy who I’m supposed to kill turns up non-aggressive. I’ve tried everything. Bringing in friends, clicking him like crazy, bombarding him with skills. Nothing works. Is anyone else having this problem and is A-net going to fix this anytime soon?

I know this problem was adressed 4 months after it was discovered and seemed as to be solved. Not a lot of playes including myself are having problems with it yet again. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? I’ve tried using IE, Chrome and Firefox, They all failed at loading the web page. I haven’t changed any settings. It appears to be the excact same problem as before.

It’s very disappointing that the compliants from Guild Wars players are getting ignored. We don’t even know if they’ve looked into the problem. Are they trying to fix it or are they ignoring us yet again?
