+1. I have a mini bear that I absolutely adore but for all the issues in the OP’s post.
oh… since we’re having an audience, i’d also like to bump the Engineer kits+Legendary/Backpack discord. I use a lot of kits and it sucks to feel I have to decide between cosmetics and functionality… especially when it comes to Legendaries. Engineers are strongly pressed by social dynamics to either go Legendary or Kit, not both, and this really poisons the experience.
It’s already annoying enough that in WvW my guild armor logo is covered by the kit.
business aside, cheers ANet thanks for an awesome world!
