Which only causes inflation nothing else. Great work on not fixing this and not working on the economy but getting pigeon-holed in to the Living Story crap.

What has inflated? Ectos are cheaper than they were in december. Precursors are cheaper than 6 months ago. t6 mats are about the same as they were 6 months ago. Not seeing this inflation.

Inflation is not the increase in the price but the decrease in the value of the money or what your money can buy. Know the difference.

Oh I know the difference. Not sure you do though. Purchasing power is reflected in price in this game. 100g will buy you about the same now that it did 6 months ago. What game are you playing?

I’m sure you could find examples of a few miscellaneous items that have skyrocketed (lemongrass) but the staple commodities at different tiers (ori, ecto, lodestones, precursors) have remained flat despite incomes increasing through more effective speedrunning and farming techniques.

I surely do know the difference don’t you worry at all Otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting on 1200 cash gold made in 2 weeks. Anyways I’m not going to go off topic. The commodities stay the same because there is not an actual way to dump those stuff like new recipes and etc. The point is though the more people farm cof and gain quick cash without any effort the less valuable the money will get. Appearently you are making money out of that dungeon and when someone points out some attention you get offended. Just chill a bit. lol

This boss was once a checkpoint for the groups. Seperating the good players and bad ones. After the nerf Anet decided to make it casual and open it to everyone so people would stop QQ ing about it. Appearently nothing has changed since months.. Anyways arah p4 takes 30 minutes or so when I do it with my group. Nothing is bugged you just didn’t understand the mechanics of that boss.

I love how people praise expansions like they are the greatest thing a game can hope for, why have we been corrupted by this thought all these years?

So if you think of a 6 month(24 weeks) release schedule, we play the game and current X content for 6 month’s straight. No changes rather than bug fixes and maybe some gem store rotation. Just to get that glorious expansion. We wait for it to be released, then BAM. A week or two straight of playing to test out all the “new” stuff. After this point where does it leave us with? “Ohh I really like what they did with X, but I think Y was horrible, overall they should have added more of Z.” Awesome! Now, that this content has been played, we get to play it again for the next 6 months. Until the next big change. Rinse and repeat each 6 months(24 weeks).

So now lets look past the LS content rather than just the “Ohh these 2 weeks are awful, or those 2 weeks were better.” Lets look at it as “Ohh I really enjoyed X, but I hated Y, and really the developers should add more of Z.” In the end after 6 months of this “Living Story” content we as players are left with the same conclusion. But the major difference happens with you get to play each of these content for about 2 weeks. With the amount of changes for 2 weeks, you can try out each of the new stuff in about 5-6 days with an hour or two play times. But then after these 2 weeks, you will get another change to the story in another 2 weeks. Rinse and Repeat each 2 weeks. (0.5 month)

As for the always changing world, this is a part of what makes GuildWars2 amazing. Being able to feel as though what you played 4 weeks ago effects what you are playing now. Or even when we get to what you played 2 years ago effects current events. If you take a look at this as a whole we only gain from a system like this. For once in our gaming lives, we have a game that is changing. A game that we can not feel like we played X hours. But rather our X hours helped make the game where it is today.

TL:DR – Most likely this will not change anyone’s thoughts about the game, but just wanted to let the developers know there are people out there that enjoy the game and the direction it is heading.

You are talking about an actual changing world.. If you call this a changing world then presumably you haven’t played any sandbox game in your life or this is your first MMO. Unlike this living story content which suppose to change the world instead of being totally poorly designed, in those games when the developers say that player’s choice will change the world and the world will shape according to the player’s decision it is actually true. When it comes to arenanet it just cannot go beyond the fact that the stuff they release actually gives you an illusion of doing something but in fact doing nothing but wasting some more time and spending more money on the gem store. Let me give an example to be more specific. The living story is like a free bread in the restaurants. And you are eating them while waiting your main dish. But the thing is, your main dish is every time delayed and/or not being delivered. At the end you are full because of eating this free bread on the table and you aren’t hungry anymore thus you think that you are satisfied and go home.. Anet do care about their players who QQ a lot on the forums about how the new content is so OP while it’s actually mild,mediocre difficulty. Anet does not care about the other players at all who are complaining since the beginning of the game about how broken the dungeons are and how the thrash mobs don’t award you in some way, thus skipped 90% of the time. Really do you think any of these bosses in the game actually hard? If your answer is yes, then I will tell you my opinion which may put some sense into you and to those who thinks the bosses are hard in this game.. The bosses in the game are just some HP sponges which only soaks up dmg until they die. The bosses in this game almost requires little to no skill to understand their mechanics and mitigate the damage by simply pressing the dodge key. If you can’t do such task then I’m sorry but I dunno what to say. Even the bosses in Guitar Hero is harder than Guild Wars 2.

Personally and frankly I’m kitten ed because of the current state. I know Anet is capable of doing more than this. But instead they are now destroying the game which was once beautiful. Anyways I refuse to do any content related to this Living Story joke. Unless there is something really decent, and I say decent because you can’t really create decent content bi weekly. But if somehow they manage it in 2 weeks to bring some decent stuff to do like AR then I might consider doing that. Other than that no thanks keep your JP’s and minigames for your fluffy audience who hold hands and sing songs by creating a circle. But who forced them to do this anyway? They did it themselves..

If you have the brains, do TP if you don’t, do CoF simple as that. CoF imo is the game breaking element which Anet decided to add into the game. Which only causes inflation nothing else. Great work on not fixing this and not working on the economy but getting pigeon-holed in to the Living Story crap. Oh did I mention how buggy your Trading Post is Anet? If you are willing to make money from TP you seriously need patience. Not because of waiting the orders to be filled. You need patience to navigate through the clumsy, unpolished design of the TP itself. “Error attempting to sell” anyone? Or not having the search function for the items that you are currently buying and/or selling, sold,bought? Anyways we need more mini games and JP’s

One word: Dragon Piñatas.

Let me add two more: Launching Fireworks

And more: Dancing in front the effigies to burn them

I haven’t really seen any content excluding AR and F&F dungeons and maybe S.A.B. This living story is just an excuse for saying :“Oh look guys, we are doing something for you” In fact LS is nothing but utter crap. I would 1000 times prefer waiting a year even and purchase a well thought, compelling and detailed expansion rather than this joke every 2 weeks. Enough said.

It’s not Anet’s fault if you or the guys with 5 legendaries with ascended gear have no skills.. Deal with it.

Who cares about bugs when they give us free content every two weeks? end of sarcasm

Demeth.5816:

For once, Anet didnt give the access of one content to the whole player base, For once we have difficulty, for once being skilled give you an advantage.

Please, do not start to complain, please just don’t, casuals have got content enough, do not take it from us, or this game will be ruined by casuals (or actually is).

Did you read my mind or what? Anyways I think casuals have more than enough content already.. And the game is actually ruined by these QQ’s on the forum.. People just don’t want to accept the fact that there are things which they are capable and there are also other things which they aren’t..

I would even wait a year for a detailed expansion and actually pay for it rather than having these non compelling living story content bi weekly. I wish they could just scrap the whole idea of living world. Since it’s been introduced a lot of people I know left the game and it’s just not fun to me and to my friends. But I don’t think anet would do that actually. They don’t want casual people complaining on the forums after all…

Excursion.9752:

I don’t play them unless I’m forced to do so. Forced being to get the reward for the current event. I skip anything that I know people can exploit and waste my time trying. So I will just buy what I want from the TP.

Indeed, and after I saw the last patch and tried some minigames introduced with this patch I even quit doing the achievements at all.. They are like tasks to me that we have to complete nothing is “achieved” at all..

But wait cough attitude adjustment done: It was such a tremendous experience and a journey for me and my guardian. I had no friends to do it together at the time I was willing to test myself in such a challenging opportunity that this game offered us. I was biting my nails because of the nervous feelings taking my body over. By the time the clock started counting down to zero, my hands were frozen. Cold drops of sweat were flowing through my spine. At the end I looted the shattered lockpicks which these challenging pirates offer you for spending the most awesome 6 minutes of your life in this instance. Passing their corpses by with the blaze of glory.. Memorable.. end of sarcasm

After hearing how hard it was and how it requires teamwork and coordination, I gave it a try with my Guardian.. 6 minutes of jokes.
