You cannot force all players to PvP or WvW.

I will not PvP or WvW. I use WvW only for a portal to Lion’s Arch. I will not participate in PvP or WvW no matter what you say or do to cajole me into it. I simply refuse.

This means I cannot get World Completion and cannot craft Legendarys. Too bad.

The more you try to force people into doing things they don’t want to do, the more they will resent it – and leave without telling you why.

I am doing you the courtesy of telling you why.

Ghosts showing up unghostly...

Lately ghosts and mesmer clones are showing up not looking ghostly. It’s not consistent, but pretty frequent.

Do we have to have so many updates? There have been 3 since yesterday. I can only game about 10 hours a week, and each update takes like 20 minutes, so I’m losing a lot of game time for these more-than-once-a-day updates.

Personally, if I were running the show, I’d TEST the software on a test server, and restrict updates to no more than once a week. But young people always think they know better than us old programmers.

Not worth bothering with.

in Bazaar of the Four Winds

I spent 30 minutes in Southsun; the instance was too difficult for my toon (in yellow gear). Then, there was nothing else to do – no alternative paths.

I spent 5 minutes in Bazaar of Four Winds – that was more than enough time to explore anything I could get to. I couldn’t get to much.

I’m a casual gamer, I play about 10 hours a week. I don’t like jumpy puzzles or PvP at all.

Certainly there is plenty of content for casual gamers in GW2. But it disturbs me that most of these living story events, or whatever you call them, are pretty much inaccessible.

Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way. You could survey the players – or just query your database – and see what percentage of them actually accessed all this new content. I suspect it would be fairly low. It is vital to keep the hardcore gamers interested, of course.

People are using guardians and elems as healers. Anet, please give up on this ‘no holy trinity’ nonsense and give us a good healer, like a monk. Let them level thru crafting if necessary.
