Guild Wars 2

In my opinion players want a Raid only armor as much as they wanted Desert Borderlands.

I get the feeling ppl are in denial about there own views so i am more or less talking to anet dev most of the time. There will be real consequent to gear like this being added with a raid wall. Just trying to give warning and the real storm to come.

I get the feeling that you are in denial about what the community wants, and what they game devs are doing based on feedback from the community.

But you keep on believing as you believe, you’ll realize in time that there is no “real storm to come” and no “real consequen(ces)” to this gear being added. You’ll also realize that this armor isn’t going to be changed from a raid only armor nor will it be changed into a skin only.

So do you think the community, aka all players, wanted a raid only legendary armor? Really?

If the devs listened to the community and not a vocal minority GW2 could do better. Perhaps you don´t remember that they had to rework their precious hot maps and metas or the new desert borderland fiasco.

So, did I read that correctly. Legendary armor is only available to those participating in Raids? If that is correct, does that give an advantage in PvP/WvW to players wearing Legendary armor VS. other armor as far as ease of stats changing or any other difference?

Am at this moment standing here in the Desert Borderlands. Standing in the literal sense as there are no players here. The effect of having such a map that is so distasteful to players that no one shows up to play surely cannot be the intent of the developers. Is there any hope for improvement?

They could have as MadRabbit says, but they did not. It seems that they are pushing for people to work together in ever larger groups with HoT and the total WvW workover just to provide fodder for their ESport aspirations while putting consideration for smaller groups and solo players on the back burner. While playing in HoT recently, there was a small guild advertising for and offering payment for extra players to come help them with getting a guild hall. For my part when they put some things guild related out of reach that were paid for using cash to gems to guild related purchases, at that point I stopped spending.

How about a contest that rewards the top player submissions for new ideas for game items or suggestions, that are taken up by the developers for actual implementation in game.

As a solo player within my own guild with myself as the only member what I noticed is that much of what I paid cash money for was suddenly put beyond my reach. As a clan member of a small guild, it does seem that we will have a much more difficult process ahead of us in comparison to the larger guilds.

My personal wish list: (1) A personal house inside my home instance. (2) Weapons dyes. (3) Solo mode for dungeons. (4) Gardening. (5) For hits with WvW siege weapons to display on the mini map as a targeting assist because very few players are interested in playing the role of “spotter”. (6) A hat for PvE players to place on the ground while playing musical instruments so that other players can put coins in it for them (if they like the music). (7) A skill that makes enemy WvW players visible on the mini map. (8) More incentive for WvW players to develop and improve on long term battle strategies or for holding captured camps rather than just near mindless zerging for loot or capturing and then abandoning camps repeatedly. (9) Crop farming with a RMT exchange controlled and limited by Black Lion Trading specific to a subset of new crops and recipes introduced into the game perhaps for creating vanity type items. (limiting RMT to a subset of the game and/or map area and limiting exchange amounts would prevent gold sellers from taking advantage while at the same time rewarding players).

Capping a cool name is kinda fun.

Nvidia GTX570, no problems here in 2D. The 3D option is grayed out for me though my system is 3D ready, emitter-monitor-glasses etc.

Moa Birds, the Moa stable and stable keeper, look suspiciously like potential future mount related material.

Let me clarify my question so as to get a relevant (A)nswer. I did not post in the forums looking for positive or negative comments as to the reasoning behind having real money trading in game. I am specifically seeking any knowledge of written articles on any MMOzine that further clarify the comparison of the Guild Wars 2 trading system with EVEOs trading system and/or any articles that indicate the possibility of RMT in the future of Guild Wars 2. For discussions on the negative aspects and/or positive benefits of RMT please open a separate thread.

Does anyone know if there were more discussions about the possibility of some sort of real money auctions or real money trading? I recall reading an article comparing the Guild Wars 2 auction system to the EVE Online real money trading system but did not understand the comparison. I have noticed with the way the Guild Wars 2 Black Lion Trading Company is currently set, that a simple change to the system by ANet of selling+buying Gems to and from players as opposed to only selling Gems to players, would open up a legitimate way for interested players to earn real money from their game play.
