Guild Wars 2

A lot of people bought thousands of the cooking mats bought with karma (that were used in cooking PL) before they nerfed it. I myself had 2 tabs full of stacks. They sell for anywhere from 2-5g / stack. (Chili peppers etc.)

At the guy saying lots play the market and never even get into the world…. Its easy enough to “play” the market (which is completely legit) while playing anywhere you want.

People who also say they make nothing off crafting lol…U just have to find the pieces that are selling. People either then straight create it or order it.

Example “hearty” (plate) some pieces sold for 10s and you could order as many as you want for 35+copper lol. Do the math. Its easy to make gold… Just have to learn what to look for. I see items that still sell like this (and being that the TB is all severs) find it amazing the prices are still up on certain items. (Shows how many don’t know where to look; or only copy other people they learn from.)

A lot of people do orders for bulk of mats to get profit by selling rather then to orders. But I stay away from that one. (but is also a way people make ton’s).

Im not even mentioning half of the ways…

Draeka.5941:

It would be kind of interesting to see retaliation be turned into an aegis-esque boon that, once the player is hit, transfers a condition to the hitter. Kind of like how a few Dervish skills worked to turn an overly aggressive player (Assassins…. =p ) into thinking about their next move. So, say it gives the attacker a few seconds of weakness instead of simply damaging the attacker.

Is it too late to ask for retaliation to cause freeze? =D

Thats what Im saying, if anything should have been made into a activate /trigger like aegis or virtues. I would not even care if 1 sec. Would have been better then this mess.

People seem to be forgetting it did effect more then ret now… The longer Cd also effect people who use symbols to trigger extra effect. (Vulnerability etc.) It makes that trait moot now for example. All I see Anet do is fix something that isn’t broken then braking something else every time… (well sure I think their aim was right but they went about it all wrong.)

No matter what they say they are not keeping balance of skills between pve n pvp. Pvp issues are forcing global changes in skills that then effect pve. (They need to wake up like all the other games and consider creating pvp versions of each skill…)

PS: again swapping around our skills was dumb. (especially in middle of new WvW round)

MysticoN.5068:

What did they do to kill our GS dmg? I dont get it, i must miss something. They gave us 5 shorter leap and nerfed our symbol. Did they change anything else?

In doing so they also flipped all our skills around.

Symbol of Wrath went from #2 to #4
Whirling Wrath went from #3 to #2
Leap of Faith went from #4 to #3

Guess ANet likes messing with people’s minds. So instead of leaping to a target by reflex, I now slam a symbol into the ground at useless spots.

yeah its really annoying… Sure muscle memory bla bla it will become normal etc. But it actualy effects wvw right in the middle of a new round… w/o even warning us. Could care less (even if they way they went around ret is bad) of the ret change.
It was just stupid to change our skills around.

I feel broken when playing. (Muscle memory aside) this was a ridiculous change. Doesn’t have the same “feel” at all. :/ Plz put back… Or start giving us the ability to relocate our own skills.

Pfft a nerf to one build lol… Which does effect symbol usage if people trait for vulnerability etc. tho (So I guess more then one area yeah; Think they over looked that part…since it seems they were only really going after retaliation up time.) But yeah the major complaint is suddenly moving our skills around. Doesn’t feel right at all.

…I knew I wasn’t crazy; I was trying to rush somewhere and went to LoF and I froze in place doing SoW instead o.o
Not happy about this; feels completely wack. Completely unneeded change. >.<

Actually the retaliation is a big deal… (Pve didn’t really matter because mobs to slow or inconsistent (unless u use symbols for vulnerability etc (which this also nerfs then.) Longer CD only makes it even more useless. In pvp its effect is important so this does matter. It makes no sense… Id rather have to manually pop it like a virtue or aegis if had to then have this stupid cd… They really are just making this class a kittened warrior every nerf…

…The offical post going around on sites is lol…It focuses on Karma more then drops/ nodes when ref the botters. How can the farmers ruin the money via Karma? Its all useless outside own toon. I find it all lol when ref the economy anyway. Pretty hard to abuse this economy… Just seems like they are doing to much and killing the fun and limiting, directing game play now.
To add I agree, should be rebalanced across the board not caps. I hate that to after seeing what was there; but better then cap.
Main reason for my issue is this is account wide…I play 2 toons so can hit even faster…
Limiting in many other ways. (Esp since logging out no longer resets karma Dr.)
They say a few bounced into it? Yet tons of players are hitting it…. *lies

Lol, I said Honor… *Sigh
I haven’t even played wow in 3 years…
See what this problem has done to me Anet!

1. Please Fix this asap… Turn off what you turned on its that simple.
(until you decide the fix; not while we suffer or sit contemplating if its time to give up…)
This is not some lil speed bump to game play it’s a flat out road block.
At the least give us the ability to reset (log out) Karma DR again.
I think drops are just as important in needing attention though.
(This has become very FFXIV or D3 -esk of being forced to play a specific way.) It will lead to the same result…
Its well hidden until you approach 80s. So as more and more of the population catches up it will only get worse in the QQ n Rage departments.

2. Your communication (and momentum of such) has noticeably dropped.
This is the number one way to keep your player base in good spirits…
You made a strong start in this area and have now slowly faded. More timely, clear and less obscure statements would be a good start. Even if just on the update page yall started. (which is hardly updated now by you…)

To leave off…Like many are saying with the way u set up Karma how can farmers be exploiting it. People find ways of dealing/accepting the items drops (or lack of). (I sure the heck don’t; its almost a game killer for me personally. Because I enjoy farming.) It seems rather that its because you try to find ways to extend the game…

Either way you didn’t at first, just like the dungeons exploiters you punished the player base. (even if that is temp) your hinting at this not being temp, just not balanced yet. (And for all we know you meant 1 certain area, event, or etc. Not across the board. You had players getting 100k plus honor a day (even more…) so now we all get thrown a slap in the face again.

I lol’d when I hit a rich vein and got 1 ore. Some were saying even hitting normal…
Its just bad structure.

I and im sure thousands of players do not appreciate being forced into playing a certain way or with such strict limits being enforced. Don’t balance it, scrap it. Or come up with a cap or something… Not a flat out hey I did one or 2 events now I don’t get any drops and less karma then a lvl 1.

Sry I’m bad at keeping it simply and short…

As someone above said, This is bad Karma!" lol.
