Guild Wars 2

I am not sure why this is happening exactly. I’ve might have said 4-5 messages in total in over 3 hours, but I keep getting my messages suppressed. It seems random on when it does it and I am not sure how to get around it. I’ve never encountered the issue until yesterday in Southsun Cove. I don’t chat often and usually in a complete sentence, so I am completely lost as to why I am being suppressed incessantly…

The hero’s band that I received when I first created my character I am unable to upgrade with a gem that I specifically bought for the purpose. It doesn’t seem to let me upgrade it with any gem. I’ve seen random posters in random threads (both here and elsewhere), but there seems to be no defining, post-launch thread about this issue. I’d like to keep using the ring for a bit more, so I was hoping to give it a bit of a boost for my purposes.

Anyone else running into this post-launch?
