Guild Wars 2

+1, a merit to influence conversion will help guilds who have maxed out their merits, and will help guilds that need more influence to get more missions.

You only want to “farm” because you have been programmed to by other MMOs.

I wish Legendary weapons did not require this “farming”

I wish there were no items in the game that required people to “farm”

Well, i would like a legendary so…. i guess i should just ask arena net nicely? Believe it or not, but giving out legendaries takes the “legendary” out of legendary.

If these items were so easy to obtain, and everyone in the game had one… well i know i wouldn’t be playing very much at all.

As an added point, i really don’t mind farming. Sure i can’t sit down and do it for hours upon hours a day, but i should have the option to if i want.

How would people know where the ZotW is? Should they be informed? Possibly the Heralds could let them know?

It’s not actually a terrible idea. I tend to doubt it’s one they’ll go for, but I could actually see this working.

I was thinking it could be announced on the start up screen under the latest news. Having the heralds announce it though is another good idea.

There was also the suggestion that the players need to go find it themselves each week.

This is just a copy pasta from my post on Reddit

People deserve the right to play the game how they want to. Whether this be to farm all the materials required for their desired weapon, or run CoF for gold, or play the trading post.

Unfortunately, I (and many other by the sounds of it) feel like the first option is becoming less and less viable, mainly due to Orr farming spots getting hit with nerfs/bug fixes.

What i would like to see, is what they have in place in Southsun at the moment (magic find and gold buff), permanently. Of course, leaving it in Southsun would get very, VERY boring over time.

I would like to see a “farming zone of the month/week” where a zone in Orr, maybe in Forstgourge, anywhere really that you can get tier 6 materials. This farming zone would have the magic find and gold buffs, just like Southsun does.

This allows people to go out and farm their materials, instead of relying on repeated CoF runs to farm the gold needed.

I received fairly positive feedback about this suggestion, with quite a few people relating it to the weekend events that occurred during guild wars 1.

Hi, I just have an issue with the Winter’s Force staff skin. I bought it on maybe the second day, and i love it now as much as i did then, but it just feels very lack luster compared to some of the other skins you can buy, namely the great sword.

Now when i bought it, i had no idea about the frost affect it had. Sure enough, i was pleasantly surprised by the glowy effect around the top of the shaft.

That was until i saw the effect the shield, the dagger and the great sword have (that’s all the other ones I’ve seen in game). The shield has a large burst of the effect coming from the center, the dagger and great sword both have a full blade glow.

This makes my staff glow look… boring.

I still love this model, but i just feel that there could be more to the effect around the weapon, maybe a full shaft glow, like the dagger or great sword.

I did pay money to get this skin, and i just don’t feel like it is as good as the other skins i have seen.
