Guild Wars 2

So i know many people here have talked about how to improve pets etc and some have been pretty good ideas. I was wondering what people thought of having pets act more like virtues with the guardian.

How this would work is would be that pets are not actually an extension of the ranger but a ranger ability that would spawn the pet to accomplish a specific task.

i.e. if someone is using a bear and presses F1 then the bear would spawn and run up to the target and hold agro for 5 seconds. F2 would be the bear spawning to inflict a bleed effect. F3 would spawn the bear who would increase the rangers Toughness for x% for the next 5 seconds.

Beast master traits would cater to improve abilities of pets and reduce the cd of pet summons/abilities.

you would be able to then remove the shared dmg that pets do with the rangers while still enabling the pets to be part of the game play. It would also mean you would have more clear cut pets for sPvP wPvP and PvE (Solo/Group).

I know it would mean a massive change to the pet system but it would remove heaps of problems currently faced with rangers.

Its just a suggestion and would love to hear feedback from the community oh the viability of this suggestion. (while I understand it probably wont happen its at least something for the devs to consider down the track).

Here is my build if it helps

30 skirmishing with majors being 1, 2, 6
15 wilderness survival major being 6
25 beast mastery 1, 6 though majors in this tree are kinda crap

i run with shortbow and axe/horn and pets used are dog/wolf

I also have at least 2-3 clothing items with toughness.

yup read the wiki about the trading post and total cost of a successful item sale is 15% of the value of that item.

Thanks for the heads up about it, however it seems strange that I have to go to the wiki to understand that as its not explained in game very well.

So I was trying to make some money off the trading post and noticed that when I listed an item for 30 silver profit it would charge me 1 silver 50 copper for listing the said item. however when I gathered the money from selling the item I would only be left with 27 silver and 0 copper instead of the 28 silver and 50 copper.

while this may seem small consider if everyone was being hit by a secret listing fee. thats a massive amount of money in game that has vanished.

I have also sent through a bug report with screen shots of this.
