Guild Wars 2

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Soon, they’ll get requests like “I bought the wrong item from the Karma vendor, please undo my transaction so I can get my Karma back.”

There are already a bunch of these requests, and the request for a “Confirm” dialog. There are also requests such as “My brother did XXX, please undo”, “I linked the wrong e-mail to my account”, bunch of other requests that are at least as demanding as mine. And those people will probably have their issue fixed.

Well, a new day, and the issue is meh, but I’m disappointed in ArenaNet, other companies such as Blizzard do act when people are scammed and items/golds are returned. I expected the same thing as ArenaNet.

PS: Go in LA and advertise “WTS Black Dye”, how many whispers? Now try “WTS Black Dye 1g”, might get less, might get more, but you’ll get a few.

Use caution and care? I am supposed to be afraid and weary of everyone I meet in this game? This is not the kind of community I would want.

It’s very much so possible to intervene in this kind of situation, it is even done, since ArenaNet seems to have no problem interceding when there is an argument and racial slurs and other inappropriate language is used. All I see here is that it’s much easier to ban the person and move on then to actually fix the situation for the offended party.

The behavior demonstrated here is the same as any other kind violation, and I would have expected ArenaNet to do their utmost to resolve the situation in a manner that returns everything in order. You can’t “remove” insults, but you can certainly give me my money back, to be shrewd.

And as for your example, if I buy that 10$ Rolex, and the guy takes my money and runs away, I’ll be calling the cops. They usually return stolen property if I’m not mistaken, if it’s possible. While in real life, tracking down some guy that took your money in an alley-way is practically impossible for the police to do, I will find it hard to believe you can’t find the person that scammed me and retrieve the stolen goods; I provided his game ID when submitting my ticket.

I’ll be expecting a positive reply to my ticket; intervening in these types of issues is the job of game masters and the support staff. Brushing it aside is by no means a way to solve the situation. Support is supposed to be personalized, and it seems to be from what I read; people getting their bans reduced after explaining the situation, thousands of people getting second chances after using exploits, case-by-case / high-profile study for exploits. Where is this kind of support, will I be getting a copy&paste “We are sorry […] nothing we can do” ? Did I pay to get scammed? That’s all I’m seeing right now, not the fun I had since the headstart, only “I got scammed and I was told they weren’t going to do anything about it”, I’m seeing some guy who scammed me logging in and playing without a care in the world, I’m seeing myself getting screwed over in some way or the other in the future; be it by a trading post hiccup or an other problem, and getting the same answer; We do not care.

I will continue on complaining until the matter is resolved, because it’s just not fair that I’m on the losing side and ArenaNet refuses to do anything, while it is totally in their power, and there is nothing I can do myself. I will continue on making long posts, I will not stop, because your job is to make sure I don’t get kitten on when I come back from work and decide that I’ll play some Guild Wars 2, and that doesn’t just mean make sure I don’t get kitten on again, that means make it like it never happened, that means make my day, make me say “hell yea, ArenaNet, I got scammed and they fixed it”, don’t let my day stay kitteny, because it’s all 0s and 1s, and you are god, no matter what you try to make me believe, because some guy over there knows the SQL query to increment my current money amount by 10000 copper and decrease the other guy’s by the same amount, and that will make my day, and it won’t ruin anyone else’s; at least not yours.

In the time you spent writing up the reply to this topic, this issue would have already been resolved. Add money to me, remove money to him, add a mark to his account. Heck, in the time I took writing this stuff, I could have figured out how to do it myself.

So scamming is permitted? Link source.

I’ll just make a ticket then.

It was a deal that was too good to be true, and I had never had any problems trading one the Map channel, so I was too trusting.

I reported the player via the in-game interface. Should I take any extra steps to ensure that my money is returned in a timely fashion?

I made this forum post because I read about people getting scammed, reporting it, and nothing had been done about it 1 week later. I assume this was because the support team was too busy.

I don’t really want a dungeon finder, just because it’s from WoW, I rather have them create a LFG channel and promote the “LFG” status / interface.

I vote for this. Either require that the character has completed the personal story for his current race (and set the new race’s personal story to completed), or reset the personal story. Or translate the current progress to the new race, if such a thing is even needed.

It is certainly not impossible to achieve, it just depends on how ArenaNet wants to implement it.

I think MF is overrated. I ran more than 10 CoF Explorable modes with full MF gear/weapon/trinket (24x 3%) and with +30% food, and never got a gold drop, even greens where hard to come across. Other people I ran with got multiple gold items with just food. Seems it’s still mostly dependent on luck, MF has little to do with anything.

I found myself going ranged when I first did AC, but now I do dungeons and I spend most of my time in melee. I use the greatsword (I tried other weapons but I don’t like them) and I’ve used a glass cannon build and a tank build, and with the skills I have (whirlwind mostly) and my endurance bar, I can get in-out of fights pretty easily once my health goes below 50%. A cc-breaker helps when you get immobilized/crippled by that odd boss/mob. This last thing, noticeably cripple, is how I usually get killed.

You just can’t stay there and take hits, you have to get out when you are taking the heat, use bladetrail if he’s after you and heal+rush+whirlind, or switch to your ranged weapon if you’re too low.

I noticed this too, instead of getting Fine Crafting materials, I get a couple of bars of butter, or chocolate, not really worth much.
