Guild Wars 2

This is an interesting thread.

Endrance seems to be alleging that ArenaNet is actively engaging in some sort of conspiracy to defraud it’s players by allowing the gold generated by gold sellers to remain in the game economy, thereby artificially inflating prices and forcing the players to spend inordinate amounts of real world cash just to keep up with progression.

Interesting.

I find it curious though, that he also seems to be requesting information from ArenaNet that would verify they are committing fraud. Or, at the very least, they have mislead or lied about the steps they took to safeguard their game economy from gold sellers.

What are the odds that conspirators will offer evidence that proves they are engaged in a conspiracy?

It’s fun to read, but I’m not sure that is what’s actually happening here.

I think it’s more likely that Endrance is himself, a gold buyer.

I think he bought gold at some point but his supplier got caught by the ban hammer during the bot crackdown. And now, he’s here, months after the fact, phishing for “evidence” that he can use to justify to himself that buying gold via gold sellers isn’t harmful to the game economy.

That or he’s just trollin’. /shrug

Same thing is happening to me. Launcher crashes after entering authenticator code.

UPDATE: Problem fixed for me after latest patch. Reattached my authenticator to the my account and everything working as normal. Nicely done ANet. Thanks for the fast resolution.
