Guild Wars 2

There are so many people in this game that feel entitled to everything that happens in the game, I have no idea why people have to be so harsh to other players that just want to have fun in the game and want Guild Wars 2 to be the best game on the market. But one of the many reasons it isn’t is because of the Entitled fanboys. I don’t know about most of you but I am sick of people saying “Dueling can’t be in the game because I don’t want it to be like WoW”. Just because a game has dueling doesn’t mean its like wow all it means is people want to have fun dueling with their friends and random people they meet in the game, there is zero to no excuse for there not to be dueling the game! Some may argue “But its going to bring unnecessary toxicity”. Go to most spvp lobbies and see how toxic it is there, go to world vs world and beat someone in a fight and see how fast they whisper you. Most people need to be more open minded about things and let Anet do Anet and not go on the forums being a keyboard warrior saying that you will quit if the game adds a certain feature. There is a reason why wow and many other mmo’s are successful, this game needs to stop listening to every single complaint that fanboys make and just do their thing they did a hell of a job in guild wars 1 and guild wars 2 but with all these people complaining all the time believe it or not they actually listen to them! If anet wants to add mounts let them, if they want to add dueling let them do it, stop complaining for every single thing! Let us have our mounts and dueling it will not break the game it will not be the end of the world it will just give more people more fun stuff to do after they get bored, mounts could be added to end game and add lots of life to the game as drops or wvw badges and so on. This game has so much potential but the fans are trying to constantly limit it.

I feel the same way, there is nothing to do besides get more gold for gem store stuff. That is this games end game I am sick of it I want to play this game badly but it is such a chore grinding the same boring dungeons and world bosses for the past 2 years, honestly it’s not fun and the dev team doesn’t really care they just keep coming out with more gem store stuff they are milking it kittence they come out with good stuff it will be too late.

When did you start playing guild wars 2? I am guessing not that long ago since you feel this way about the game, I know guild wars 2 has dungeons and pvp but what about raids? You mean world bosses that drop greens and blues every time? And by arenas you mean the bland boring unbalanced mess that all everyone does is run cheese builds in pvp? Honestly you have no argument here as far as content goes guild wars 2 is years away from AA, as far as quality I’ll give you that one guild wars 2 has more polish but lets be honest here all guild wars 2 has going for it right now is its combat. At the end of the day a mmo is something that you play to keep you busy and have fun which is what many people do but for many of us having fun is playing something relatively new that is actual content and “rewarding” which is what this game needs more rewarding content so maybe more dungeons and actual raids that give something special. I have played this game since beta and still haven’t seen anything worthwhile added to the game. As far as dungeons go standing in one spot “stacking” and auto attacking is your idea of fun? At least in AA bosses actually move around and do actual attacks which is an actual challenge. And you say mounts break immersion? What about waypoints???? You magically teleport to a different location on a map without using anything you just click on it, come on if anything that is immersion breaking.

Why is this a good thing? One less farm is good? Okay.

mondello.2940:

I think the whole idea that female characters have skimpier armour than guys is unfair tbh. I think there should be an option where no matter what gender your playing as you can choose between the female look and the more male look for every piece of armour that has a difference between male and females.
For example: the winged armour set on guys looks so boring and drab, but it looks amazing on girls. The same with the pheonix set.

No that is disgusting! No one wants to see hairy legs >.>

Boneheart.3561:

Another cleverly disguised mount thread.

nightech.5043:

One thing, i love gw2…

They always type this. Mounts, instanced raids, anything some other game has that this doesn’t, “I love Guild Wars 2”.

What do you not understand about no end game? This game has none! That is why people want things like mounts, dueling, raids, better pvp, arenas! Why? Because they keep people playing! People need to realize that this game will not survive if it keeps going on like this, living story with one hour content that gives you greens and blues is not enough. If you are fine with that you obviously don’t care about the game and are selfish, just because YOU dont like mounts doesn’t mean others don’t, believe it or not some people actually like this game which is why they want mounts they don’t want to play wow, archeage, tera, or rift they want to play Guild Wars 2! Mounts add end game if implemented right, as of right now the only good drops in game are precursors which drop every other year, so honestly adding mount drops to certain bosses would add some end game that this game is seriously lacking.

Caedmon.6798:

We’ve had hundreds of threads like these,mounts won’t be coming to gw2..and most threads about mounts will get removed.

Btw,i honestly think the mounting in Archeage is a dull experience,to be completely fair archeage as a whole is completely dull,the game feels like a job with everything you do..Gw2 is still miles ahead of archeage imo.

Also im kinda confused as how you think leveling and exploring in gw2 is boring while you dont find it boring in archeage ? Gw2 has an awesome atmosphere and the pve zones are Really well thought through and theres something pretty to see and to explore everywhere you look and go.While in archeage its all a bland,boring,empty big space with little atmosphere and it feels unfinished,unpolished.Look at their dungeons,its just pathetic to call it a dungeon at all.All the quests are the same,go kill 10 monsters because i say so,then pick 10 of these because i want you to,come back here so i give you some xp and silver and gtfo to the next guy who will give you the exact same quests again …yadayada.
Anyway…no mounts ;p

You’re joking right? You just said that archeage is boring compared to guild wars 2, how about we talk about content, what does guild wars 2 have to offer once you hit max level? Fractals? Grinding the same dungeons every day? Annoying rng world bosses that never give you anything worthwhile? Let’s be honest here guild wars 2 is an amazing game that will last a hardcore gamer or player a couple of months, and I know you will say “But guild wars 2 isn’t for hardcore players!”, I know it isn’t for hardcore players but at least they could add some quality content where you can farm or grind and stay busy rather then finishing new content in two days and then going back to grinding dungeon for that new gem store skin. Come on Archeage is much better as far as rewarding content and stuff to do, they have raids, dungeons, world pvp, arenas, and not easy to obtain in a few days gear which keeps you busy, they even have ships in the game how awesome is that? Guild wars 2 is great but at the end of the day is seriously lacking content. As for mounts no one wants to spend 10 minutes getting back to where they died in WVW or in Pve “Oh but we have waypoints!” Honestly waypoints are nice but sometimes it’s nice to just explore the world instead of having to run everywhere, mount’s could be great end game content too you could make certain mounts drop from certain bosses or mobs so much can be done with this game but we have too many people saying no no no to adding any content that resembles what wow has and that will be the fall of this game.

Cassandra Nea.2507:

Please, can people please stop using this phrase? I get it, you are annoyed that people are criticizing aspects of the game that you really like or even love. And they can be really rude when they do it. But they have their reasons for being critical, just as you have your reasons for being defensive.

I know you will go there: Yes, some people still complain eons after they have stopped playing. You wonder why they still bother. I stopped playing myself for a while because I got bored, but I never lost interest in GW2. And now I am back, because I found new reasons to play and enjoy the game.

There is only one good answer to the question/statement: “Maybe GW2 is not the game for you.”

Yes it is, because I am still here.

Totally agree so many people are on the forums defending everything the developers say and do and can’t stand any criticism at all. This is what the game needs criticism so that things get fixed but obviously that’s not what is happening usually when theres criticism there are deleted posts.

TRON.1085:

Any chance Anet can remove the champion mobs or make them drop no loot in Jormags claw plz?

Too many players are just farming the champions making the event scale up but doing nothing to actually help take down jormag, not helping with Ice Wall, or the dragon or getting golems through to stun him or taking down the ice spikes.

All they do is kill the champions for loot bags and champ box’s and then get full rewards from jormag as well at the end without actually helping at all.

Even going as far as not even attacking jormag when he is stunned so the meta event lasts even longer, so they can farm more champions, forcing the event to scale higher and also take way way longer for everyone else…

I honestly hate these mega server changes since coming back to Guild Wars 2 and miss my home desolation server because we actually has “Server Community” back then, now it is just leechers, farmers and mindless zergs with no community or organization…., this is just one example of why megaservers are bad, also the orrian temples are always uncontested now 24/7, meaning we can no longer do these events for dragonite or meta orrian temple meta events or use them to get the new traits in the game….is silly.

Plz Anet bring back server community and get rid of this megaserver crap in PVE and plz at least get rid of the champ mobs or champ loot in Jormag.

Thanks.

Nerf Nerf Nerf! Might as well nerf everything and the only loot you get is from chests how about that because that is where this game is getting to. Let people play the way they want and don’t force others to do what you want to do, that is what an mmo is about if this was an instance I would understand but guess what it isn’t!

That is the whole point of it! So you can have somewhere to go and have fun and kitten around. It’s not supposed to be competitive if it was you would see far less people there, and then you would come here to the forums and make a post on why you are upset because no one goes to Eotm.

The shield should keep it’s aura while sheathed that would be a nice addition to it. While sheathed it just looks like a gold book and doesn’t stand out at all.

TheFool.4589:

Everyone has suggestions, but why don’t you guys start a post and ask what the community wants to see in the game. Then take the most popular ideas and put it to a community vote, and lets see the most wanted feature to actually be worked on. You guys say you listen right? Then what better way then to take a vote to see what we really want rather working on things we don’t find fit at the current time. Post the votes on FB, put a reminder to “Go vote!” in the game mail boxes! You have more tools then these forums to find out what people want in the game.

I love guild wars 2. But I’m losing people to play with to WoW and other games cause there’s NOTHING else to do here. Help us help you. Just something I thought Id share.

I wish they would but the only people they listen to are the people who say “NO DUELING!” And “NO MOUNTS!” and that’s why they are losing people because they only listen to those people and not the general players that do want things like that I mean it’s fine if they don’t add mounts but there are a lot of other things that they should add that they aren’t adding because “It would be too much like wow” sometimes improving what your competition has done is a good thing.

Completely agree! A new gem store armor a month doesn’t cut it especially since it’s not even in the game it’s in the cash shop. We need some armors that actually look good and that people want instead of the same boring generic stuff that we get like ascended which was a total disappointment, you look like a chicken in the medium armor. This would be very nice if they could add more armor skins to the game but I highly doubt it. Knowing how Anet is we wont see any actual skins added to the game until their expansion if they ever make one.

Nice video, hopefully this doesn’t get nerfed like all other farms.

Zodiaci.3218:

I’d sincerely like to know where this rumor originated. No endgame? Is a new story campaign, giant map (and completion), crafting, a new set of dungeons, obtaining legendary weapons, and 3 new areas of the map opening up just not enough for you?
Really, where did this originate?

You must be new to the game? You can do everything in this game in a couple of months, not saying that isn’t worth the game it is totally worth the price. The problem comes when you see the genre of the game and see its an mmo and you compare it to others and the end game is severely lacking, take legendaries for example you can just buy gems and buy one off the tp, how is that end game? In other mmos you have to earn it! World bosses, dungeons, crafting everything can be done in a matter of months and then it just feels boring and super repetitve! Pvp? Same thing after a good while it gets boring and repetitive, the only thing I see this game has going for it is WvW and even there it’s severely lacking especially since they haven’t added anything significant to it since launch, and please don’t talk about the borderlands buff no one liked that and it is rarely used.

AkioFallstar.5460:

Maybe not dyeable, but offer various colours of the same model? Like get a couple of different versions in the store?

I really like the design, but it won’t really fit with many of my characters either.

I would be fine with that it would offer more variety for people to choose from.

- Even after the two years now Anet still can’t seem to balance the different Professions. I don’t like playing half of my characters any more, they just don’t feel the same.

Heh. How long has WoW been out now? Aren’t they still balancing professions? I think the same could be said for every single MMO ever released, ever.

That’s the thing a LOT of people don’t seem to realize. Every single change to the game, no matter how insignificant, from a new piece of gear with different stats, to a slight chance at when you can learn abilities, actually drastically changes the class balance. Small changes add up to big differences, and considering MMO’s are all about adding new content, it also means there will ALWAYS be class balancing changes.

If you don’t like it, well… stick to single-player games, I guess. :p

The problem with that though is they don’t know how to balance, look at the warrior nerfs for example warriors got a few buffs to mace, sword, and a new arcing slice which it’s damage was decreased before the patch, they also nerfed adrenaline which is almost useless now and lowered damage on greatsword skills and lowered the effect of signet of rage just because. The problem is they don’t give much back when they nerf stuff they just nerf nerf nerf and don’t change stuff that are actually significant.

Sola.7250:

The Feature Patch seems like a down grade, very unhappy.

- Low Population Map, why does the game always put me on a low Pop Map every time, then if I transfer the world boss event I’m trying to do is always ended after the transfer.

- Even after the two years now Anet still can’t seem to balance the different Professions. I don’t like playing half of my characters any more, they just don’t feel the same.

- Less Blade Shards from Home node, use to get 5-8 every, day now half the time I get zero or lucky to get just 1.

- Less Dragonite Ore, even when I manage to do a World Boss, I get less loot and Dragonite Ore than before. Are my characters doing less damage then before?

- Still tons of little glitches, from armor/weapon skins that don’t unlock, Trading Post issues, Event glitches, Salvaged unused items where you end up with account bound stuff, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention that events in the new Living Story Maps don’t even scale.

I feel like a Beta tester after this Feature Patch, this is just unacceptable for a 2 year old game. The whole game just feels like it’s being dumb’ed down and going backwards.

Very true I have also noticed these things they are slowly killing the game, what makes me mad is I love this game and want to play it as much as possible but the more I play it the more I hate it, I have almost 5k hours on this game with 11 level 80’s and have had lots of fun but for an mmo this game is in need of more content and I know people say “Oh but this game isn’t for hardcore players it’s for casuals” yes this game is for casuals but that doesn’t excuse an mmo from not adding actual permanent content, they are making very bad choices they keep nerfing things without putting anything in or without giving us something in return just nerf nerf nerf. Honestly I am sick of it they are nerfing drops and farms which is annoying and they leave us with nothing but the same boring lame dungeons that feel like a chore after doing them almost every day for 2 years. This game needs a revamp, it needs people who are willing to listen to the community and help it grow in a positive way instead of doing the exact opposite and doing what you think is best for everyone.

Yes i know that backpieces are not dyeable, but the color scheme they picked for it isn’t necessarily that great. It would be nice if they could change the color scheme or let us dye it brown and yellow aren’t really a good combination of colors for a game with bright and lively colors.

Hello, I wanted to make a suggestion about the new “Mist Herald Backpack”, could we possible get this to be dyeable? The colors don’t exactly match with any real color scheme and since the game is mainly about looks is there a way we could make this happen? It would look much nicer and appealing, and it would also make the guild emblems stand out more with this change as of right now you have to change your guild colors to a really bright color for the emblem to stand out.

Nilgoow.1037:

http://i.imgur.com/HswhpHz.png

Yes please! More nerfs because thats what this game needs! Moar nerfs everywhere! Nerf drops too make more whites and greens drop while you’re at it! If you don’t like all the commanders on one map then join one of their squads and you’ll only see one, deal with it don’t force people to play the way you want them to. Stop it i am sick of these posts because anet actually listens to them and then ends up breaking stuff in the game.

Darkchief.5468:

First off let me say that after reading about the leveling changes yesterday both here and on reddit, I was up-in-arms and as ready to hate it as most other people seem to be. But, I decided to wait to play it before I judged. I’m glad I did.

I would consider myself a “veteran” player. I have played since beta, and have four level 80’s. I know how to dodge, I’m not an idiot, etc. So I have good reasons to be angry about level-gating and hand-holding. But after playing a new character from levels 1-8 (and will be doing 8-15 tonight), I have discovered a few things:

1. There is a TON of misinformation about what was changed, what is level-gated, etc.
2. Low levels go a lot faster. Leveling from 1-7 took me about 30 minutes, so even the stuff that is level-gated I hardly noticed.
3. There are definitely some things that still need to be changed/fixed.
4. The new leveling system works. I play all melee/ranged classes. Historically I have a mental block for casters for some reason. I made a caster class last night and the slower skill unlocks allowed me to get comfortable with what I had before I was introduced to something new.

Good things the leveling system does:
1. The “Information Rewards” when you level up. This is where a lot of the misinformation about level-gating has come from. Many of the features aren’t actually gated, you can still use them, the game just introduces you to them one at a time. This prevents information overload on new players while not hindering people who are willing to tinker around the world and the UI and find things themselves.
2. The compass (when it works). I have had friends come from WoW or similar MMOs and been unable to cope with how differently you level. They couldn’t grasp that exploration rewards you and that aside from the few hearts on each map there aren’t quests. I can see how the compass could help those players get acclimated to doing events, POIs, etc.
3. The skill unlocks. While I really liked the idea of using a weapon to unlock the skills, unlocking each skill at a certain level gives new players time to learn how to use them (And because each low level takes about 5 minutes, it isn’t that bad).
4. Personal story unlocks. This is just speculation, but I think I will like this a lot more. It always seemed weird to me that something climactic would happen in a PS chapter but then we would have to go feed some cows before going to save someone’s life. With each chapter unlocking all at once, I think it will feel more cohesive.

What needs to be changed/fixed:
1. Skill challenges. I don’t see any reason to lock players out of activating these. They should be like the POIs and Vistas, accessible but not shown on the map until X level.
2. The compass (when it doesn’t work). There were certain areas where the compass would freak out and switch objectives every 10 steps or so. Obviously this creates confusion. There is also the problem of it sending players to places above their level.
3. Veteran player options. It would be nice if you have a level 80 already that some features come already unlocked (POIs, Vistas, gear rarities, offhands, etc.). In addition, it would be nice to be able to get rid of the compass if you don’t want it.

Overall, just give it an hour of your time and try it out. An informed opinion is going to be taken a lot more seriously than an uninformed opinion.

People like you are the reason nothing ever gets fixed, and always agree with everything the devs do. For once stop being a white night and try to help the game instead of killing it even further.

Totally agree, honestly everything we lost compared to what we gained is a joke. They have ruined a very good game and if they don’t fix it quick they will lose so many players.

zenleto.6179:

Yeah, but I sort of thought you still wouldn’t take a leave of absence the day before a major update. It might not change his mind but he could take a gander before heading off.

“Major update” Lol okay.

Are you really whining about warrior mobility? That’s the staple of the class! Thieves have stealth, mesmers have clones, ranger has a pet, and so on warriors have mobility and high damage that is the point of the class, your argument is invalid, learn to play the game and then you won’t complain about these things.

Farming is allowed, and encouraged. Abusing a bug (exploit) in order to farm is not.

As far as stuff to do? There is plenty to do. Tired of doing a 15 min dungeon run? Try doing the same run, but clearing every mob. Did you also know that some of the dungeons have hidden areas and secret bosses/encounters? Try to find them all!!
Working your way toward ascended or a legendary? Instead of farming gold through dungeons and buying what you need, try farming for ALL of it. Everything can be gotten in game, and at a decent pace, if you know where to go. Try to get the belchers bluff title. Or the yak slapper title. Why not try to solo a complete dungeon, every path, while using say Nomads gear or something?

If Anet were to continually put out new “content” in the form that you are thinking, then any of the “old” content would quickly become irrelevant and dead.

“Farming is allowed, and encouraged.” LOL i laughed a little when I read that, name one farm that wasn’t an “Exploit” that was supposedly worth doing (Not counting frostgorge which was nerfed by the way). Every single farm has been nerfed to the ground half of the mobs don’t even drop loot anymore, they even nerfed dungeon farming!

EotM. Also dungeons are more profitable now by far than they were at launch.

Did you play at launch? I would do Cof p1 and average close to 10g per hour with a good party.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

I have no issue with them adding outfits, they are simply the replacement for town clothes. Which, I know some people are going to holler about because of the lack of mix and match issue, but we have to face the fact that some of us did ask for this (guilty here). We wanted to be able to use “town clothes” similarly to how we used costumes in GW1. As such, they took our suggestions, our feedback ,and wha-la…outfits. However, they needed to overhaul the original town clothes system which took 90% of them out the game.

These aren’t a replacement for armor skins, I agree with that. However, I don’t agree that they are being lazy or trying to skimp out on us. We’ll see more armor skins (they just gave pvp 2 for crying out loud), right now they are just playing ‘catch up’ on returning “town clothes” (in a sense) to the game. I’m sure they have relatively limited resources devoted to this area.

This is exactly why nothing ever gets fixed, almost everyone looks the same! They are now adding new armors to the store but are being lazy because they don’t want to deal with clipping. Honestly this is a horrible idea to add outfits why? Because you can’t mix and match if they are trying to get rid of mix and match then there will be no diversity in armors. It’s bad enough they don’t add any decent armors in game but if they are going to add it to the gem store they should at least let you have freedom with your skin that you bought!

There have been 3 outfits so far, today there was a new one which i really liked but since it was an outfit it immediately upset me, what about mix and match? Why do these nice skins have to be locked to one set? I know that it makes it easier for Anet to just make an outfit and bam they don’t have to worry with clipping but come on, no more outfits please, let us mix and match our armor it is hard enough as it is to look unique and find decent looking mix and match sets, outfits just don’t work in my opinion.

Why are people crying? Mad cus bad? What about OP condi builds that destroy you in 3 seconds? Those totally take skill right? This is what people are playing now this is easy to counter if you are a skilled player and know what you are doing, stop hating and move along if you don’t like what you see.

djsarcher.9263:

What’s wrong with the dungeon armor sets?

What’s wrong with them you ask? That they are lame bland and boring the only decent one being the arah set, they are way to easy to obtain you can get the full set in a couple of days and they are no where near as nice as the gem store armors.

Xenon.4537:

There’s like 500+ skins in the wardrobe… that’s not enough choice for you?

Have you even looked at them? 90% of the skins in this game are horrible! For all my characters and classes i have not found anything better than tier 3 armor, i have that for my heavies, light, and medium armors just tier 3, why you ask? Because all the other armor has had no effort put into it! Oh mix armors you say? How about dealing with the poor dye design from Anet where you mix armors and the dyes dont match! I put abyss on some armors and they turn out grey! Ever since this game came out there have not been any serious sets of armor put into the game, the wurm armor is awful, and they just add shoulders or gloves here and there but never a full set of actually good looking armor, even ascended is a complete joke! Come on 500 armor sets and i still cant find something i like and i have over 5k hours on this game, very disappointing for players who actually want to play hardcore and earn nice armors.

Hello just wanted to report two bugs that are very frustrating to deal with. AC p2 still has the bug where npc Detha doesn’t let you progress, it doesn’t happen every time but when it happens the npc Detha bugs and she just follows you around instead of triggering the event to defeat Ghost Eater. This bug has been going on for a very very long time this bug has been going on for over a year now would be nice if it could get fixed. And the other bug is the coe bug where the Mark-T Golem bugs and you can’t progress and forces you to restart the whole path. I would love it if these bugs could get fixed.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

I’ll pay Gems to Anet to be sure this does not happen. A consumable like this would break the racial character stories, and thus break the game. If you want a different race, buy a new character slot, and start another character.

How would this break the game? Other games do it and its perfectly fine, all anet would have to do is to reset the story.

Zomaarwat.3912:

Stop asking for race change.

Stop posting annoying comments. There are some of us who like the idea of a race change, if they could somehow reset the story then it could be done.

This would be great so tired of searching in my inventory and then getting forced into combat before i can find my weapon.

ICEing.9237:

Here’s what bothers me about your whiny post:

You joined a party saying ele warr guard only as a RANGER. And you expect them to let you join only because you have 14k ap? And get insulted that they only had 2k and kicked you?

I woulda kicked your ranger kitten out too.

+1

In a sense the new system is “ok” but what about us with alts that have already beat the game multiple times and have already explored everything and just want to make alts to take to wvw and or dungeons? I think if someone is starting out it’s fine, but forcing us to go through the whole game again and backtrack wasting hours just trying to get a handful of traits is not fun at all it feels like a chore, the system was fine before where you just paid a small amount of gold and that’s it you could play your character, but now you have to spend hours upon hours just to be able to actually use your character in end game content. I feel like the old system should be reimplemented, the prices for the traits are around 40g and a lot of skill points now which only used to cost around 6g which is nuts! Please change this Anet i have two alts just sitting there.

Just because people aren’t playing the way you want them to play doesn’t mean they have to.

Does it really matter? Let people play the way they want to play and that’s that.

They do need more sexy armors, i like a “few” of the ones they offer but they need to put more thought into them there’s only two that come to mind and that’s the tier 3 human medium, and the tier 3 human light. What about the norns?

I agree that reflects should be more viable against bosses, kind of useless to have skills that reflect if they don’t work well in dungeons,.

Totally agree, i think that they shouldn’t have gotten rid of it especially with annoying bugs all over dungeons and what not, so i think we should get a slider for our legendaries that would be nice for people who like the aura and for those that don’t.

Exactly my point, why are we forced to either have to backtrack and spend hours just to get some traits, or have to dish out tons of gold and waste a lot of skill points just so that we can play our character, would be nice if they at least lowered the cost.

.. What is wrong with making things harder then they were..Before they were just stupid easy.
Trains – I’m glad their gone. I was sick of hearing and seeing people B…have a go at someone in the map because they didn’t play or do something “THEIR” way. Load of my guildies also are happy about the changes there.
Gold wise- …. it’ss always been a fuzzy area there really.

The problem with that is that the drops don’t change at all, if they are going to make something hard they better buff the drops or else what is the point of getting annoyed and kittened off just for 1g?

So i created two characters a few days after the feature patch and got them to level 80. I then went to check out the traits and saw that i have to do tons of missions, events, and quests. I then went to the trait master and saw that if i want all traits unlocked the total for gold is around 40g, why did anet think it was a good idea to charge 40g and before it would only cost around 6g. I honestly don’t want to be spending hours just to be able to play my character hunting for traits, i have 10 alts right now and would like to make more but if this trait system stays like this it kind of makes not want to make anymore. I have spent over 4k hours on this game and don’t really feel like backtracking each time i make a new character. Is there a possible solution to people who like to make alts?

If tequatl is so freaking easy then help me get into your “easy” overflow i have attempted it sooo many times it all relies on luck, with the whole overflow/megaserver system its almost impossible for someone to beat this boss, in HOD i get there 20 minutes early wait and we fail it all the time, WITH people in TS so don’t give me this crap that it’s easy because it’s not.

Are you not playing the game? Are you kidding me? Necro takes zero to no skill using staff spam and using all minions which you don’t have to control and you say they are useless? They are op!

I agree with you on the first one, but you totally lost me on the next two. How do you think people will feel if anet was to say no more playing the trading post or making gold on the tp? That means you cant sell anything, which defeats the purpose of the trading post, and the second one yes there are people who exploit but there are lot who don’t and it wouldn’t be fair at all to people who want a challenge and to solo dungeons, just because you can’t solo a dungeon or don’t have the time to do it doesn’t mean that everyone else should be forced to not have the option to solo.

Guild wars is a beautiful amazing game well worth the price, but i think that the end game is seriously lacking, i am thinking the game really needs a big expansion. These small updates really aren’t enough they only keep people entertained for about a week and then everyone complains about the content, for wvw they should add special armor sets and weapons that people can work towards to get, same for pvp it would be nice to get new ones at least every season.
