I’m not sure why having so many is a problem. I mean you can destroy them.
As far as playing the content in order to get them — I’m really happy you have that much time on your hands but others don’t. And, like I said and others have pointed out, you can buy all the other keys. So that argument really doesn’t hold. I’m not sure why you have a problem with the ability to buy them — I mean if they would implement this its not like you would be forced to buy them.
because i do not have 180 in my bank. SURPRISE my play experience does not match yours. Will wonders ever cease.
Also I have that weird token. 1 per day doesn’t do it. Also that doesn’t answer my question
We can buy chalk acid. We can buy machetes. We can buy exalted keys. But crowbars are right out. Why is this? Why can’t we buy crowbars? This makes no sense. Even in a story sense it makes no sense that crowbars can only be found lying around on the ground or in treasure chests magically delivered because you killed evil frogs or something. Please allow us to purchase crowbars like we purchase all other like items. And then allow them to put these things in our wallet. Don’t tell me it won’t fit. All that other stuff fits. Whats another crowbar or vial of chalk acid.

If you are not going to untie guild hall expansion from scribing, make it possible that smaller guilds can hire scribes. Make a designation like ‘guest scribe’ or something that a scribe can carry along side repping his or her regular guild. Then let that scribe make things (like WvW stuff) while pulling guild hall expansion attributes from the larger guild that s/he is representing. This would also allow the scribe to make back some of the money that was spent leveling up the craft.
Couple of contributions from a 360 Scribe:
1. I’m ok with the cost of the major decorations IF the end result is worth it and right now its not. And that’s a problem. Currently I can make a silver Teq statue. The cost of that is 10 regular Teq trophies per bronze and 10 bronze per silver = 100 teq trophies. I’m assuming the gold will cost 10 silvers which will equal 1000 teq trophies. Along with all the other stuff. Same for Gors, Sab, etc statues.
Its expensive if the statues made you go WOW and was instantly something everyone in the guild wanted in the hall. But they aren’t. They are puny little things that are meh. I mean you look at them and your reaction is “I had to work that hard to make that insignificant thing?” — Surely you can do better than this. Its just not worth the cost.
And you can’t even show them off. There should be a lobby or something that people not in your guild and not repping can visit and see the amazing things your guild can do. But right now, and even if you make them better, once you’ve seen them 10 times they are pretty ignorable no matter how magnificent you make them.
I think the end result is the problem in many of these instances — not the cost to make. The cost to make is exorbitant — and maybe it should be. But you really should get something worth that kind of cost and in almost every instance you don’t.
And if you aren’t going to do this, then lets stop pretending that scribing should cost any more than any other profession. The statues are an extreme example but it really goes beyond that. The scribe-created banners aren’t as good as the guild commendation ones. The furniture is meh. The theses are pathetic. When was the last time you saw someone put one out at any major event. You don’t — because they suck. And they take a lot to make. There is very literally nothing a scribe can make that justifies the cost. It COULD justify the cost. These items could be amazing. But right now they are not.
So do one thing or the other. Either rack down the cost to match other crafts — which IMO would be a sad thing to do — or make scribing great – great enough to justify the costs. Now that would be truly awesome and wouldn’t screw over the people who spent 3425952359823459824509 gold to get their scribing and guild halls up.
2. Tied to guild hall. One of the things that makes scribing doubly expensive is that it is tied to guild hall expansion. So in addition to the cost of making the individual items, now there’s the cost of guild hall expansion. The guild has a hard time supporting the scribe when they are busting their kitten to expand the hall and might have other priorities (like wvw and the arena) to spend the mats on — for many guilds Market Resto and Basic Decorations come in a distant second to WvW and/or the Arena). And lets not forget that to build those two things (WvW and the Arena) you’ve got to expand the War Room and mining. If nothing else, make the base decorations purchasable for gold.
3. Put banks next to each of the proprietors kitten . (kitten lol) Its SO tedious to have to visit each of the proprietors to see what you need and then run over to the scribing station to get to your bank to get the stuff.

Also getting the random voice as has been reported previously by many others.
So necro death shroud is no longer kicking in at the end of normal health bar. Also time in death shroud seems to be decreased considerably. Also minion aggro seems to be increased considerably. Or perhaps its aggro overall — kind of hard to tell when you are surrounded by minions pretty much constantly since I have a necro minion build.
For all you XP users who cannot load the game,
Try starting it from a cmd line in windowed mode. worked for me:
Gw2.exe -perf -windowed
I have this problem as well. Also on XP
For those of us who dislike WvW and PvP the new dailies truly suck. There are so many people trying to do events its hard to get a shot in and get credit for the events. And really? Re-doing vistas I did 2 years ago? And don’t even get me started on the lack of laurels for those of us who are crafters. Anet the new dailies were ill-thought-out.
I, too, am an older player that played Pong when it first came out, with failing eyesight and arthritis. Jumping puzzles are hard. Vistas and SPs are optional, but not being able to complete them because they are combined with JPs makes it impossible to do map completion. This isn’t exploration, its not even a puzzle. Its being able to physically complete one of the largest achievements in the game. Its not even about legendaries — there are other obstacles — big ones – associated with legendaries.
Taking away the possibility of map completion for those of us that might have physical or computer limitations takes away one of the points of the game. And, quite frankly, I spend quite a bit of cash on gems. Because, y’know, older, stable job, etc. So they don’t want me to go find a different game. I’m liable to stick around for years given achievements I can achieve.
The Breached Wall is ridiculous and there might be other things that are harder but I can largely ignore JPs when they aren’t tied into map completion. Please, devs, move the vista and SP closer to the beginning.
