The logic behind this boss is biased, if a great party does good with it with obviously a considerable ammount of coordination AND experience in this very boss fight, doesnt mean that ppl who prefer or are forced to go with pubs have to suffer, i have ran this dungeon over 60 times and i dont remember the last time the fifth guy went down with me to kill this boss without dying at least once because of either getting hit by the shield or by its dragon tooth.
Its a poorly designed and implemented boss, adds nothing of value to the gameplay and benefits severly a guild group while people like me who have american guilds but are european are penalized for it as the only way for me to play this dungeon is to go with random public.

Sure. I just didn’t think there was anything to really do after completing all your missions. Sure there was grinding for the 15k armor and that stuff, but unless you were a serious PvP’er, there was…well…just farming to do. I just didn’t understand the point of farming in the game other than to amass gold.
I see, so you didn’t enjoy playing around with builds and gear? Yeah that’s a preference thing, most of my points would be irrelevant for you then.
What gear? All you had to do was buy it? And what was the point of playing around with builds in PvE?
This. Any guild wars 1 veteran will laugh at this post, you clearly dont know the game at all.
“But thats only like 0.001% increment in stats! why would anyone want that?? Wait what? youre saying every area in the game is pretty much empty and most of the gaming community is going for the max stats? Nowai.”
its hardly overpowered, and u have a set of skills already, you can block, dodge, blind to avoid it and put it on full recharge.
Right, same old story, maintenance update that doesnt change content but requires you to redownload some files and replace or add more files to your game…
Hence the term ‘update’. rolls eyes
i dont know why i have to tell you that you missed the entire point rolls eyes
Right, same old story, maintenance update that doesnt change content but requires you to redownload some files and replace or add more files to your game…
i see no release notes, either its another rogue update or they are taking their time with their release notes xD
Quite biased original post if you ask me, it clearly selects things that were hardly mentioned in the entire thread of 200+ pages, while other quotes which clearly spoke of horizontal progression and have shown significant proof are entirely ignored for the sake of attempting to build a strong argument.
Ty for ur information jabronee, im looking to avoid that kind of games, but still thank you for ur information about RIFT
Ty tumbero for your advice, even though 1 good game alternative would be all that i required, i will like to wait a bit more and see if other people can come up with more alternatives (like event guys asking for collectables xD)
Hello guys, since now i understand this product no longer meets the launch specifications its time for me to move on, this is a honest question and i would like honest answears, im not looking for trolling nor i am angry at this point anymore, now that i got official confirmation the way this game is heading i no longer can play it gw1 style, so my question right now is:
Can i find a game like gw1? where i can reach max gear and max stats in a matter of few days and stay max stats forever?
I want all the classes, thats waht i was doing in GW1, i had all 10 classes fully leveled and maxed up in gear, i was having a blast with that game for over 4 years, i would like to see something similar to it, thats why i bought GW2, at first i didnt like the fact that i had to waste around 1 week to get a fully leveled char and then work out on exotic which could also take more than a couple of days, but ive tought that since its max stats its NP and i can live with that, so if u find any alternative game to this i would welcome it alot, it can even be from ANET.
TY for ur help!
Exactly, i always find it funny when they say no content has been changed and yet im downloading additional files, if the game engine has been changed, then content has been changed, if sound has been changed, then content has been changed, if a minor script or bug fixes or client garbage collection protocol or thread optimization or textures, terrain, weapons, login client or whatever, then content HAS been changed, this is a bit insulting.
Actually its the DR driving prices up, supply and demand, the less supply the likely the price rises, so at the end of the day it effects everyone.
The goal of farming is mostly to make money. While it reduces the drops of rare crafting materials and etc, there are far more items in the game that are basically converted to gold (aka vendor trash) than items that are traded between players. The DR system may reduce a bit the supply of those latter items, but since it reduces more the supply of gold, it acts against inflation and thus helps everyone else in the game.
To make it short, no, farmers don’t help the game by adding rare items to the market. Their bigger impact is adding gold to the market and thus causing inflation. If anything, Mystic Forge gamblers help the game by adding more supply to the game at the expense of gold.
what is DR?
5 char limitThe more you farm, the less drops you get. “Diminishing returns”.
Ah ic, yeah thats kinda weird and it really doesnt do much to botfarming.
???
I don’t understand your point. And I’m serious, its not coherent.
The spectral agony and this system are nothing alike. This system is more akin to LOTRO’s resiliency system, which was eventually scrapped. For this to be like spectral agony ANET would have to remove RNG from the system and make the gear a guarantee item from reaching certain levels fractal, and they would also have to remove the gating mechanic.
Do you not realise Draselona is a GW1 vet cause he went halfthrough the prophecies missions?
Draselona, im not even half impressed to what youve just said, furthermore it clearly shows you dont know much about GW1.i’ve completed prophecies fyi, and when i said i went through half way through prophecies at the stage where the main enemies were the mursaat i.e near the end of the missions i didnt have the ’’infusion’’ and in comparitive terms i wouldnt have the ascended gear. and i did fine. i know plenty about GW1 so do enlighten me, what do i not understand about the game?
and just saying i dont understand your point does not in any shape or form help me explain my point better…
really having a hissy fit over such a small thing, repeatedly is really just freaking childish already, all i see is oo another reason to throw a hissy fit. grow up?
You really wouldnt want to show off ur GW1 “skillZ” on me, trust me on that, youre embarrasing urself right there.
You dont understand the game because you have said agony here is exactly the same as agony there, which clearly isnt u get max stats agony resist in 1 mission less than 1 hour, agony resist can then be applied to any armor of any expansion pack of any color, furthermore completing prophecies once still doesnt make you experienced at the game at all.
oh so what does repeating prophecies a second time on hardcore make a difference, while i have 80% hardcore missions done anyway. along with plenty of time in UW
Cmon mate drop it, ure not really impressing anyone who played gw1 properly, its not even close to what my casual guildies have done.
what is DR?
5 char limit
Grind on Fractals located at LA, thats almost the only thing pugs are doing these days…
Good thing thing that you like to think youre a “skilled” player, however your own posts show you are not, but keep reaching for the stars!
And nope, you didnt miss anything, you just ignored reality and all the threads and posts surrounding this forum.
Actually, I didn’t ignore anything. I spoke the truth, which is that my gameplay hasn’t suffered from the changes. It’s true, and it remains true.
Additionally, I consider myself a skilled enough player to know I don’t need the best gear. Last night, for example, my elementalist took on and beat four Ettins by himself. Not a big deal, except that they were four levels higher than my character, and I managed to keep myself from being downed through a series of well-planned tactical moves and well-timed dodges.
Gear does not make a good player. Skill does. I don’t need gear to win at this game. So, I fail to see the connection between gear and skill.
Yes you ignored the reality:
Yes you ignored that gear doesnt increase a player stats to kill another player easelly, or to win an event or to kill random mobs or to win a dungeon easier and quicker than a player with weaker gear,
Yes you ignored the fact that the game is now going through excessive grind that not many ppl will be able to keep up unless they have no life or no jobs and btw i dont plan to be unemployed for the rest of my life,
Yes when you consider yourself “skilled” player it really means ure not, ure just arrogant and feel powerfull because u beat some random newbs, there are plenty with the likes of you around, the more u think u are better than other ppl at playing the game the worse in reality you are,
Yes when you fail to see the connection to gear and skill which easelly shows that ur skills are more powerfull with more powerfull gear.
I hope that answears your very honest and valid questions and my humble apologies to address to such a “Skilled” player.

Let me get this straight, you think level 80 ppl are wrong because they are not low enough level to be unbiased?
You will soon learn that Gear makes too much difference to ignore it, hindering your team because u dont want to waste coins its not their problem, why make it their?
The only reason i used to unequip before in a dungeon was when i was new at CoE at the laser part, and equip it right after, other than that i see no reason to unequip it anymore as its an easy jump puzzle once u get the hang of it.
Im not a deep pocket and i do not consider myself great, unfortunately you will soon trully find out the essence of that with ppl grinding the game in future grinding content, i wouldnt kick you if u unequiped ur armor, but i would warn u to equip it back, even though i can easelly do CoE with 4 in all paths (except path 1 as its broken now), it gives you the impression u just want to be team carried, maybe we would spare you some coin to fix it, but if you refused it, after we were done with the instance we would probably disband because of ur choice, now tell me who is rude in this situation?
rofl andovar ure level 65 and ure trying to teach us how to play at level 80?
From mobs yes, from chests no.
I get less charged cores than i ever did before this patch was introduced, i make less money because of it, instead of charged core i get random loot junk like drop of liquid karma or a chance to get a chance to get x ammount of silver…

You also say Agony its exactly the same when it clearly isnt, hey im gonna call my car a Jeep, there! now its a jeep because i called it a jeep.
Okay, I’m confused about these statements, so please clarify. (And no, I’m not trying to be snarky, I really want you to clarify):
These players like their proficiency in the game to be determined only by their own skill.
To achieve that, these players need best in slot items, otherwise they feel kittened.
Why do players who want their proficiency in the game to be determined by their own skill need the best in slot items?
I like to think I’m a skilled player. I’m always figuring out new ways to use skills, actively using my dodging abilities and figuring out the best way to do things with each profession…but I don’t feel I always need the best gear to get along.
Am I different set of player or did I miss something?
Good thing thing that you like to think youre a “skilled” player, however your own posts show you are not, but keep reaching for the stars!
And nope, you didnt miss anything, you just ignored reality and all the threads and posts surrounding this forum.
Nobody which claims he wants efficiency will ever choose an obsolete tier, its as simple as it is.
“Content gating is everywhere bro, if you have a weaker machine you cant play some content”
Ty Drasleona your post made me laugh.
How can you have fun when everyone is now got the gear treadmill in their head.
OH i want to do a dungeon, wait I can’t, everyone is doing FoTM lvl 20 now. I can’t find anyone to do level 1. So just gonna sit around in LA now for weeks on end.
Then you could counter it saying doing it with your guild. Well the argument with that is Find a guild that’s doing PvE dungeons nowadays thats got space and on level 1.
Most guilds that say they do PvE and PvP basiclly just do Wv3 and thats it. Thats my exp with jumping to 5 servers to find a PvE guild.
They have completely removed the ability to take your time and do what you like for PvE and Wv3 players. It’s now World of Guild Wars. Rush to max level or be left behind.
Anet sold this game on, do what you like and won’t be left behind. 3 months on they changed there mind.
I honestly feel like i have been robbed of my £59.99
I know about 10% of most MMO players look at there game forums but look at the number of positive and Negitive threads. Negitive wins by a mile
I am with them. I am off back to WoW once again. I do love that game but I was looking for a more relaxed casual MMO. Guild wars has become a more grind fest than WoW so…….
don’t worry about the people who have ‘geartreadmill’ in their heads. just do what you enjoy doing. the new gear is not required.
DW about hefe guys, hes just spreading false information, the new gear will be very soon required, in addition to that i can hardly find a team for CoE that is not guild and friendlist.
I’m not doing it, but not playing the game anymore. The game is no longer fun, to me, with the introduction of this patch. Is that so hard to understand?
Then go play a game you do enjoy. This isn’t a skinner box.
I’m hoping that ANET will fix the issues that adding in ascended gear, fractal levels without the ability to skip levels, and progression tied to RNG caused. The patch just released, there’s still room for ANET to change it a bit. Thus why I’m on the forums.
If its not changed, or there isn’t any hit of it being changed, in a week or two. I’ll leave GW2 forever.
In one-two weeks I will know. I really hope that I end up choosing GW2 because I absolutely love Tyria, combat, story, and I love the dungeons. Its everything about this most recent patch that derailed it to almost a point of no return for me.
so why not just do those things? skip the stuff you don’t find fun.
So why can we skip those things? cant skip the stuff we dont find fun.
I found the game before ok and now i no longer find it ok nor fun.
If that is hard for some people to understand its their business and i shouldnt take up with their “pretend to be ignorant” talk, if thats not ok with u that core GW1 ppl no longer find GW2 fun then u can either leave or post more educated posts.if it’s not fun then why play?
I dont play it as much as i did before, what is the purpose of your question?
I found the game before ok and now i no longer find it ok nor fun.

I was really looking forward to this patch, the possibilities i had in my mind, new level 80 areas, new dungeons, new bug fixes, proper class balance, instead they have made my armor stats obsolete with 1 dungeon and a semi level 80 area that is used for that dungeon alone and every mob semms to have at least twice the HP of mobs in ORR, also twice the damage aswell.

Hi there.
First of all, i want to point out that that i’m not beeing sarcastic here. And second, I am sorry for my bad english, i am no native speaker.
I played GW1 for a very long time, and i really loved the game, PvE and PvP.
One of the most fascinating things about this game was the lack of geargrinding. You hit max. Level and you can buy the best armor and weapons for almost nothing. That was fantastic.The thing is, it is different for GW 2 now. In GW1, i would never ask anybody if he is good at the game or what kind of equipment he uses, because it doesn’t really matter. I would help him, and we would work together to finish the dungeon or whatever, because i knew one thing: There is no better equipment, he/she just needs some advice or help in playing the game.
But now, with Guild Wars 2, it causes me problems. When I team up with a group of players to do, for example, the Fractals of the Mists, I really wish for all of those players in my group to have exotic gear. I hate myself for thinking that way, but the difference in stats means that we could (possibly) finish the dungeon faster.
On the other hand, with non-exotic-equipped players, I feel like…those people could waste my time. Because we die more often. And I have to repair my equip more often etc.
I have not started to ask my party to link me their equipment or anything like that yet, but I think, on higher Levels in the Fractals, i would start doing so.
Sure, I could just go in and whipe a few times and have fun, but still…beating a dungeon faster is more fun that dying a lot of times, for me at least.
What do you think about that? I don’t want to do that, but I feel like I am forced to check out my partymembers right now, because of this whole difference in gear.
AmBoSS
don’t see how this is any different than groups insisting you ping your build in GW1… people have an idea of how things should work, and they don’t like things that contradict that idea….
From your question i understand u didnt play GW1, no worries i can explain it to you.
There are ways u can get the required build in less than 5 minutes, if you already have all skills, then you can get it in less than 1 minute, hope that helps.
This is something that existed prior to ascended gear, and was something that we saw happen all the time in GW1, even without any sort of gear progression. Some players, typically people who play the game a lot, tend to only want to play with other players that play like them. They require some sort of proof to get into their party, whether it be displaying your Lightbringer Title, equipping or linking some type of gear, or using some other method of showing that you have already done and are experienced with the content. While ascended gear might be the new excuse, this behavior happens regardless.
a lightbringer title is nowhere near introducing a new armor tier and annihilating the previous one in stats, furthermore i never grinded for lightbringer and was still accepted and completed any dungeon with it nor i ever got kicked because my lightbringer was low, nor the content was gated because of it, besides the fact that it was only really suggested in 1 maybe 2 dungeons that i recall, this was years ago so for that last part i might be wrong.
While this is not really something that we want to encourage, players do have the choice to play the game in the way they want. We can’t force those players to be all-inclusive in who they invite to the parties they create, and to be honest, doing so would probably make people even more unhappy than they are now, and lead to a lot of undesirable behavior.
I understand that you still let us play old dungeons, but the problem is, everyone with common sense realises the new tier will affect every single area in the game and future content will be focused on it.
For those who are not on par with the LFGs currently available, its 90%+ fractal looking members and the rest for old school dungeons, i had waited around 15 minutes to get 1 last party member for CoE, its my first time it ever happens with such a crowded zone.
So i cant play the game the way i want anymore, let alone path 1 is broken since the start of this content updated and left untouched.
As for the gated content, although i really dont care for this fractal level because i believe other new dungeons wont have this level system, it gates all my alts too? it gates me from the rest of the world aswell, i didnt play for 2 days and my guildies are level 10+ while i was left behind at level 3, so now i have to find pugs to play with.
This ascended tier also ruined my effort for 3 other classes, i barely touched them in end game content, i have 5 full exotic gears now worth less because they are no longer max stats and soon worthless because grinders will get full ascended gear whenever itll be possible.
I still am kind of baffled this discussion is going on now that the dungeon is out. You can complete up to level 10 in the dungeon without ever seeing Agony or any reason to have Ascended gear. Period. What content is gated? You’ve seen the content. 10 TIMES. Nothing exists for someone who has all exotics vs. someone who has Ascended.
The only legitimate concern I can see here is that it’ll have an adverse (albeit miniscule) effect on WvW, and they’ve already said there will be ways to get it through WvW. How is this even a discussion anymore? We have yet to know whether they will add more tiers (in which case there’s reason to worry since there’s no more time investment gap between Legendaries/Exotics). The only thing they’ve done is keep quiet about whether or not there will be new tiers, likely because of a kittentorm like this one. I’d be paranoid to say anything is out of the question too when I know that there will be a flock of angry forumgoers to man the flame cannons if something goes not according to plan. I’d be extremely surprised to know that there are more tiers beyond Ascended but would be happy to eat my words if there ever is one.
They have stated they wont release a new tier every 3 months, u can eat your words now :P
One dungeon in the game now provides not only better loot than all other dungeons in the game (easier access to cores and lodestones, easier exotic drops) it also became a requirement for any PVE player to stay valid.
Want to WvW? Better get yourself some ascended gear.
Want to FotM more? Better get yourself some ascended gear.
Want to grind your legendary? No better place to do it, apart from the gift from WvW.
Oh wait, you want to WvW? Better get yourself some ascended gear.In one fell swoop not only has Arenanet alienated a huge part of its player base, it alienated its own content from its own game.
Yeah ure right, i had wasted around 10-15 minutes to find 1 last guy for CoE, i had a 4 team waiting for the last member for that much time…
ive just scavenged around news in the gw2 news, i didnt find squatt about expansion packs having level 100, where the heck did they read that?
o.O
i have selected dalendria answear as the topic answear because nobody else came up with the answear for the second question:
Was the information about increasing the level cap posted before or after the game public release date?
Thank you dalendria.
teulux, please go die ingame and reconnect, i would like to see how what i said is even 1% untrue.
the untrue part was for the guy that said you have to wait to be rezed
Ah ok, since the arrow pointed at me i tought it was about me, sorry for mistake.
teulux, please go die ingame and reconnect, i would like to see how what i said is even 1% untrue.
Ty guys, its weird that so many ppl talked about level 100 beying included in expansion packs but not 1 of them couldve linked me to that article or date of the article, do i smell made up story?
no u will reconnect dead kyosji, unless theres a timer, i tried that and i reconnected dead.
Hello guys, i would like to know the response to the following questions:
After this gear grind had been introduced, is the president of A-net the same?
Was the information about increasing the level cap posted before or after the game public release date?If by level cap you mean, the no “gear stat” progression, yes that was discussed numerous times by Arenanet including Mike O’brien, President and Founder. They just told everyone about their radical change in design last week. It was never even hinted at prior to last week.
I have also asked why Mike O’brien has not made a public statement about their change in design vision. No statement before or after the patch.
He is the main one that explained over and over again the GW2 philosophy regarding horizontal progression. He made it clear that there would be no new tiers of gear once you achieved max stat. Then other Arenanet representatives stated that Exotic was the max stat gear, top tier. Most of those statements were made just a few months ago. However, Arenanet has been discussing the horizontal progression feature for years. In their first game and they promised it would be in GW2.
Ty delandria, you have answeared 1 of my questions and i appreciate that, sorry for my poor english, by level cap i mean the talk about increasing from level 80 to 100 in future expansion packs, was this talked before game public release or after?
im 50% there to have my questions answeared thx mate.
Yes, ty for your reply even though it might interest others, i dont want to nor trying to sound disrespectfull as your reply was much usefull than ckeeton but im not interested into why they did it, they had too much time already to explain that to us, my 2 questions are very simple, if some proof or hint where i could get that proof would be included it will be very great and i will appreciate it alot.
These are 2 honest questions that i would like honest answears please.
_*Do people think, in general, that these forums (and game forums in general) are so negative because the people who are really enjoying themselves just play and don’t come here to whine?*
The reason why Ascended gear was introduced was because player feedback, arguably in this forum, told ArenaNet that people wanted more “progression” in the game.
If complaining worked to get a gear treadmill, do you really think people should stop complaining against it?
IMO, those complaining about the complaints (lol?) are being somewhat hypocrites, since they were complaining about the game until a very short while ago.
Personally, I believe they had this planned all along. It happened to fast to be reactionary.
You think they planned to have a fuchsia colored item tier? Really?
It had to be planned before the game was released.
Content like this does not just show up 2 months after release.
I like the fact that you have pointed out you do not know anything about programming or 3D modeling.

Ive played it everyday i could untill now, when ppl say to not judge a content without playing it first, i agree with them, but my judgement wasnt too wrong, for once i expected this to be a big update as theyve stated, but so far i dont see much, 1 dungeon and 1 explorable area, i tought they were gonna work very hard at least this time to bring alot of WoWers to make up for the fact that they cheated and lied their costumers by secretly developing an entire different game and not come clean about it untill after the update. This is the biggest reason they will be loosing costumers, the second one is because they have also broken a promise.
Having said that, this weekend ill have to travel, i couldve taken my laptop with me to keep playing the game but tbh im just not in the mood, today was the first day i couldnt possibly get a CoE party, that alone ticked me off because i really enjoyed that dungeon, not that i didnt expect this, but ppl keep telling me to not judge this or not judge that and wait and see, well… what im seeying now is what judged it would be, except the update seems relatively short.
PS: ive got way over 310 hours, i have 4 fully geared level 80 chars, was planning to do my fifth now im not so sure, especially when someone stated they were going to make it level 100 in the near future i dont see the point in playing this game much.
A new tier of gear (1 item) was released that adds a whopping 3 more stats to current best gear. Apparently this a low blow to the community.
Tell the truth.
That is the truth as far as I know
You’re wrong then. It has been calculated that non-max ascended is already 14% better than exotic. thats with FINE infusions. wait til you get masterwork, rare, exotic, ASCENDED infusions.
Sure new tier means its better, so what?
Lol regizer, since this update im seeying many more kiddies in this forums trolling threads, first they say its insignificant and when proven wrong they say “so what”?
As if they think we are ignorants and will forget that you were proven wrong, NT.It only makes sense to say “so what” when it’s insignificant, little guy. Did you earn that gold star this week that I can be so proud of?
Which then means it makes no sense because insignificant would mean 0% having 1 more damage than someone else is an increase that ppl will go for, thats how the gaming community rolls and youre nothing but a troll as once again your post fail to make any point and u still are proven wrong.
Also i liked the way u called me a little guy when u dont know my height stature however i can easelly see from your posts youre just a kid, be it mentally or physically.

Actually, I think you’re the one who’s got it wrong.
As I understand it, as far as attributes go, Legendary items were on par with Exotic items. Legendary items were strictly an aesthetic achievement. Performance-wise, Exotic items were at the cap.
But Legendary weapons can be fitted with Superior Sigils, which have stats and grant special abilities that Ascended items can’t even get, and in fact can’t even come close to matching. So can exotics, actually, for that matter. Ironically, you’re actually sacrificing the ability to get the benefits of Superior Sigils when you use Ascended gear, with “Infusions” being the only customisation, and as far as we’ve seen, Infusions are pretty much comparable to tier 1 jewels. Big whoop.
Now Ascended gear represents a new cap, and Legendary items were adjusted upward to be on par with them.
Great, thank you for proving that there is no gear treadmill. Existing gear is improved to better match new gear. Isn’t that exactly what all the complainers would wish for in the first place?
New content doesn’t inevitably mean better gear. GW1 released two massive campaigns and one expansion after it’s initial launch and it did it without adding new gear.
Not true actually. They added inscribed weapons in Guild Wars 1 which in fact basically obsoleted all the weapons that existed before and relegating them to “old-school”. And even before that, if I’m not mistaken, just a few months into the game’s life they added the new “uniques” tier which dropped in a sort of dungeon. (sound familiar?) And while there was some complaining, it was pretty kitten tame. Hell, compared to the nonsense over this, Katrina was tame.
Lol another thread troll trying to defy the very basis of reality, the older weapons in guild wars 1 were actually more expensive than new ones, both had max stats and the only difference was you could choose what to put in them in the new ones while the old ones had that already in, realistically speaking it was not viable for anyone to setup their weapon more than twice, it was more viable to buy a secondary cheaper weapon to hold those stats, old school weapons were considered more rare therefor they were more expensive.
Gw2 new dungeon requires a new gear the more u advance in it, it is general consensus that they will choose the max stats everytime they can get, you only set them once anyways so changing a silly rune or a sigil or a jewel isnt going to make up for that.
For them to send me 300 cupcakes.
For them to follow me on twitch like I followed them.
Oh wait, I haven’t left yet.I suppose to read and respond to their forum and to stop infracting people all the time so much that they can’t be honest without getting stomped for interacting.
I’ve been on forums since the 90’s and been chosen to moderate several of them.
In another game my threads became stickies and I was private message in another with a dev.
Here I have had 3 or 4 infractions already for idiocy.
I’m not personally insulting people and just out of nowhere I find out that I broke rules. I watch every word I type on here now and it’s like I’m living under a dictatorship. I’m unsure of how I can interact because anything could result in a ban at which point I’m squelched. Trying not to get banned from the forums has been my toughest PVE fight so far.Now that I care less, I’ll just say type those things for people that are in the same situation but unable to express it.
I got my money’s worth I guess. I enjoyed the game for a few months. You don’t owe me diddly. Is this the denial stage or the anger stage, your guess is as good as mine. I think it is the effort stage or else why post.
lol mate i agree with uve just said, ive been having this issue myself when the news abotu the gear grind came.
