Guild Wars 2

this huge tax is a simply stupid. When I heard all market features GW2 was taking from eve I was excited. But any game that needs and enforces this huge of a tax obviously doesn’t even come close to eve’s economy. And don’t even get me started on the mystic flush.

The devs use spreadsheets and test dummies. That is how they know the necro is fine.

Don’t mess with my cheer squad.

I feel much more important and the ego boost is greatly enhanced when my personal audience only decides to help once I shown them for 10-15 seconds that this truly is a worthy fight.

And the quest had about 5% left and the game crashes. Hard to find the words for this epic event.

Good thing we don’t pay for this level of service. And when you leave, they can still call you a subscriber

Ahh the good old Mystic Flush. I think this is better than getting some random crap back, it blatantly informs you what you are doing. I’m sorry, this is just a horrid design. GW2 has some great stuff, but the fact they need the mystic flush to eat everything just to give some sense of an economy is sad.

face it, some people are so bad at math they think they can statistically beat a roulette table or slot machine. They truly think they are winning long term.

Sure some people hit the jackpot or some find a method to cheat the system. But over all, Anet will need the mystic forge to eat 99% (no this is not an exact number, infact it is probably even closer to 100) of all gathered materials so they retain some sense of value.

Once people are done crafting, to level the last few toons they are interested in, the forge is about the only material sink left.

I would almost be willing to spend a trait slot to disable it. That is how useless it is. But it must somehow improve death shroud?

I consider my minions my personal cheer squad. They stand around watching me play the game and when the mob is 75% dead they figure what the heck, lets pile on and have some fun too. Now only if they had some interesting emotes/animations while standing around and watching.

Look, the economy in this game is simple. It needs people to put materials in the Mystic Forge and get much much MUCH less in return. It is the only way most materials leave this game. GW2 is a decent game, but the economy (and the mechanics behind it) is horrid. Not fun unless you enjoy betting on roulette with a wheel with 1,000,000 numbers instead of 36 (38?).

Now since you don’t “need” these items, there is no big issue. I do wish they had a useful economy though. Useful material sinks, perhaps something totally wild and unthinkable like crafted siege or upgraded keeps that require materials as well as gold.
