25+ Gold and 10k Bags later and...

It’s a RNG…I’m not sure why p[people would go farm 15k or 25k bags for a tonic. People keep calling it gambling.

It’s not gambling have you ever opened the bag and not received an item? Then it would be gambling.

If you bought your bags then it’s your own fault for spending that kind of money.

Excellent point, I agree.
Anyone who doesn’t agree. Please don’t try to counter this by explaining ‘gambling’.
It’s really just a hint, I see this all the time. It’s crazy.

When someone says: “I don’t know what you were thinking, that’s gambling.” You have to know that he is comparing it to something outside the context we are in, just to let you know how he sees this. If you don’t agree, you could say … okay, you think it’s gambling, but … you could even say or ignore the gamble thing, you can say whatever you want. But how can you possible think that you can win this by changing the definition of gambling.
Even if you could, it would not mean a thing because his opinion was not based on his view on gambling. I

I see a lot of financial/marketing/rhetoric experts on this forum using their expertise to prove a point. “investment is gambling so can gambling be seen as an investment” is a very interesting topic but just a reflection.
Feel free to go on, but please don’t be surprised when a real expert shows up. And I’m not talking about myself.

Comparing is good … but don’t go too crazy with them.

Halloween Events and Quests Ridiculous!!!!!

GW1 this, GW1 that…

The past is always going to seem better than the present due to the effects of nostalgia, unless you were playing just yesterday, and if you were, good for you. This halloween event was extraordinary considering the game’s age and it’s multitude of issues that made dev focus on the ‘fun’ side more difficult than say a ten-year-old game would’ve had. Half the dev team is still trying to fix the problems that make the game unplayable, not just small inconveniences.

Anet will listen to your concerns, so please state them in a kind and considerate fashion. Developing a game is difficult, taxing, thankless work. You work hard for a month to prepare an event, and all you see is people whining about what it didn’t have.

Thank you, well said.

Awesome event, terrible rewards

I had been praying that the reward might have been one of the skins in soulbound on acquire form, but once again Anet proves that they dont care about us.

Ye indeed. They dont care about us at all by working hard as hell, giving us free events that we can enjoy.

Sorry, but you’re acting like spoiled brat.

nothing is free in this game, sorry but you sound like a naïve brat.
Why are we calling each other ‘brats’ or other insults on a forum? Is it that hard for you to disagree without falling to insult?

2 million copies sold, way over their estimate, and a heavily promoted gem shop, for a game only 2 months old… think we paid for quite a few events by now.

This said: I expected no real reward, and don’t care that much about that part of the discusion going.

Oh there you are again. I’m following this forum from the start so I remember your posts. I was a fan from the entitlement topic too, how it addressed the problem where people with complaints should have the chance.
Now we have an example, so let’s go over this once. We can accept other opinions. We don’t have to accept some of the attitudes here. He is not insulting another poster because he disagrees (I think you know), he is calling him a brat because saying that your dissapointment is a prove that anet doesn’t care about you, is something a brat would say. If you think that’s still no reason for calling him a brat, that’s okay. Just don’t turn it in please stop complaining about the complaining this time.

I didn’t do it yet. Some of these comments make me sick, really. You can be disappointed but you there are ways to express opinions. Some people will disagree but this has nothing to do with giving feedback. There is no reason why this should allowed on any forum. I’m not saying this to people that are just negative here, so spare me the lectures about complaining about the complaints.

How to improve clock tower event

in Halloween Event

Now this is the way to open a thread!

As someone who don’t like jumping puzzles, I didn’t try that much. So I can’t say anything about the design of it.
Instead of just making it instanced they can maybe put more achievements. An instanced one just to complete on your own, a race with others, groups of 4 groups of 20. Maybe teams for the pros that only succeed if the whole team reaches the finish (^_^ not for me). Timetables.

Clock Tower Appreciation Thread :D

I tried the tower 6 times, it only made me curse. Then I realised that I don’t like timed platformgames and how I suck at it. Then I didn’t care and was doing something else.
But still, I love the tower. It’s a great idea, it’s great to put in challenge and maybe I didn’t get challenged today, maybe next time I will. And it’s nice to see people who have fun.

It’s still strange I think. I couldn’t do it with any of my characters. Maybe it’s my keyboard.

I know I’m not allowed to but this one made me laugh a bit. I hope that’s okay for the spokespersons of the ‘giving feedback’-movement.

Crazy Mess is Crazy

Exactly. It has to stop to counter every complaint about the complaints (ugh, how you people can still do this) with “we are just giving feedback”. The biggest problem for people who want to discuss their frustrations is the ones who confuse feedback with saying how they dislike it and why it is bad. There is a reason why forums have a code of conduct. To make constructive debate possible, we need moderators.

Bizarre Name Restriction

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Frostbite is not banned because it means something else in french, it’s because names are reviewed at character creation using a database of ‘dirty’ words. It’s automatic, not done by an employee. Ofcourse it can be disappointing and maybe they should allow all names and ban offensive names afterwards but the game is news and 1000’s of names are or were created every day. I can understand the way it ‘s done now is more efficient.
I justed wanted to respond to this whole french server/american server/Eu server thing. It has nothing to do with that. It’s not about english speaking players who might offend eu-players by accident. Just because some people find it funny to translate certain things to another language. Just like some use an elven name generator. An american player might name himself Monsieur Bite. Honestly I don’t care, it’s an example, but I could be offended by other things.
As for lul. I’m dutch speaking and not offended by lulz or lullaby or whatever, nobody is. But that’s not the deal here.
Frostbite not banned because it’s a disease, but because it had bite in in. A word that is just like lul and whor a parameter used for reviewing names.

Ratings and Matching system worthless with 24 hr free transfers

in WvW

Posted by: Sneski.5418

Maybe it has nothing to do with those 24 hr free transfer. But still, when I was in wvw today I had the feeling something really changed.

I didn’t think we were good before, at the start we always lost. Nobody listened and when we captured something we lost 2 other things. But after some weeks we got used to each other, some people got leadership and got people to listen to them. We had scouts and when there was danger, people responded. Offcourse there was frustration from the better players but people got more experienced and it was getting real fun.

But not today … if you want the story, it’s long.
First there were the 30 bots from our side running in cirkels. (probably a problem on every server) One team was capturing towers and camps. The other team was trading and crafting at our citadel, or just standing still between the gates. At the end we where trying to take back one of our towers. The defenders were weak so I shouldn't be a problem. But then I see titanpaw is under attack, so I want to go and check. One player is building a catapult so first I use my supply to help him. But the others don't react, even when he is running around shouting 'who has supplies'. They are just bashing the gate and spreading out around the tower. I port to the the citadel and 10 people are standing there ... I tell the team Titanpaw is attacked and then lost. Nobody moves, nobody reacts, nobody cares. 3 players captured titanpaw while we got 15 people doing other things in our citadel.
You know … I ‘m not good at it too, but at least I try to play the game. I like WvW but not enough to leave my server. I have irl friends on my server who don’t like wvw. I’m in a guild on my server and I’m not into WvW enough to follow a hardcore guild around other servers. But I like the co-op with people who take it serious, that made it fun. Maybe it will sorts itself, maybe it’s a coincidence but WvW today, it was a joke.
Tomorrow I’ll give it another try. I really hope I see things wrong because it would ruin a part of the game for me. Maybe even make it boring.
(Sorry for the grammar, my English still needs some work ;-) )
