Just to chime in here, I am from CT and getting level 3 packet loss. Kinda glad that the ping issues I am experiencing isn’t from my end, kinda of a hassle to learn how to fix this stuff myself lol.
“I’m a veteran so I deserve a character slot to play the revenant”.
Sounds like entitlement to me, thinking oneself deserves or has the rights to something.
Guys, the core game came with 5 character slots and there wasn’t a huge outcry about not being able to play all 8 professions. So if you want to play more than 5 characters/professions do what everyone else had to do for the past ~3 years and purchase an additional character slot if you want to play a new profession.
Y’all are really riding the entitlement wave to try to get something for free because the company helped out the newbies.
The entitlement that I saw the past couple days have been very cringe worthy to me.
The expansion is $50, you have to pay this in order to play it. If you are brand new to the game, you also receive the base game with it as a bonus. So if you want to spend less money on the expansion, wait for it to go on sale.
If you are complaining about not receiving a character slot with your purchase, realize that the core game came with 5 character slots. Meaning – from the get go – you weren’t able to create all the professions that were in the game. So do what everyone else has done from the release of the game, buy a character slot if you want to play another profession. The company doesn’t owe you a slot to play the revenant, just like the company didn’t owe you 8 character slots for you to play all professions.
I don’t think there is any moral here. Just people that can’t read and jump to conclusions. It was a fun thread to be a part of though.
Yeah, those guys really don’t know how to read and stay on topic.
I understood you from the get go, having these people jump at you for not playing the game the way they want you to are just really immature. Wish I could answer your questions, but I clicked on this thread wanting to know more information about mesmers too, going to reach 80 on mines in a couple days or so.
Hello, I would like an invite to the NA guild.
Hello, 6 days since last response.

I’ve just received my account back from CS and updated the game, and now I can’t use my left or right click buttons to move the camera around. I can only move it while controlling my character with the keyboard.
Hello, it has been four days since the last GM response.

@Brother Grimm
I will try and answer your questions as mush as possible. I believe that the first time I got hacked was through my normal e-mail account via some software I downloaded, incidentally via digital deluxe, Luxembourg – I unfortunately had ‘saved’ my CC details, so not only was I hacked, I ‘lost’ £425 via digital deluxe, hacker buying GW2 gems/accounts – This money I managed to get back from Barclays Bank ………. eventually.
I downloaded a reputable anti-keylogger and also scanned my PC. I then created an account that I use ONLY for GW2 and a pretty secure password.
Each time since then, the hacker has I believe ‘fooled’ Anet by using my old e-mail address to get a new one and thus a new password. Each time, my account has been stripped – easy to tell straight away as I always get the Gold Hoarder achievement title (I never have more than 20g in gold in the wallet).
These hacks have occurred every month since May 2014 (4 in total), the latest being last Saturday whilst I was at a family wedding, so did not notice until Sunday.
When you are hacked for the first time, they also steal your game registration code and delete the Anet e-mail – If you have bought the game online. So it is very hard to prove that it is your account as you no longer have the codes. As some have already said, the 2nd security measure is also ‘hackable’, the mobile authenticator – though tbh, I have not used this on my account.
I asked the GM’s about ‘how I was hacked’ this last time and suggested that it was them that was at fault (e-mail address change request)- They said that they could not tell me how it was done.
In all of my earlier dealings (hacks), I have been dealt with promptly and to my satisfaction, with x3 roll-backs etc. Even a ‘well known’ senior Anet figure dealt with some of the issues with me.

This story is similar to mine. I believe when I was first hacked that I was at fault, my e-mail account was hacked and the hacker changed it from there. I’ve went and took the necessary steps of having a unique passwords for all my e-mail and gaming accounts while also attaching an authenticator. I found the e-mail the hacker used to send to anet within my sent folder. Then a little over a week later I was hacked yet again, and that time I’ve made a new e-mail for just GW2 and added a anti-keylogger on to my system. I didn’t find an e-mail like the first time I was hacked. For both compromises the support was okay and provided an account rollback. Then this last time I was hacked I didn’t notice any account breach in my e-mail accounts. like the second one, and only thing there was, was an e-mail from anet saying my e-mail account was changed.
After reading through this thread and the experiences others had, I’ve come to the conclusion that the hackers saved my GW2 key and any other necessary information they would’ve need to change my e-mail account from a different e-mail. Now I am still waiting on a customer support response to my last e-mail in order to ask them more about this.
And after reading this response in how you got 3 rollbacks before they declined you, and I’ve received 2 rollbacks before they declined me, it makes me wonder what if someone else had dealt with our tickets. Would we be declined again or will they approve the account restoration? Is it based off luck or the mood the support staff is in?
I could go on about this but I am going to stay patient and calm and see where this goes with the ticket I have opened. Hopefully I can talk to a representative who can hear me out and give me answers to the questions that I have.
This post has been really informative for me, I’ve just been hacked again for the third time these past 3 months and I was wondering what else I could do to protect myself. Between my anti virus program, unique passwords for all my e-mail and gaming accounts, an anti-keylogger program, and the phone authenticator I still was hacked for the third time.
From this post though I’ve learned a lot more on how to better protect my account and the process hackers use to go about their business, but unfortunately I am not sure if I’ll be able to see if these extra steps I’m taken would prove fruitful or not since my account has been declined an account restoration. I’m not to keen on starting off with 0 items across my 2 year old account with the idea that if I get hacked again, the only thing the support staff could do is reset my password for me.
So I’m curious on knowing if there’s a maximum amount of times an account could get a full restore or do the customer support just go by case by case basis.
In regards to the account restoration from what I’ve seen on these forums seems to only be once in most cases, so if you had it done twice for you consider yourself lucky already, although I’m sure it’s not going to make you feel better. Sadly anet cannot keep restoring accounts of people that are getting hacked because it would affect the economy too much, especially if said person has a lot of valuables.
Its disheartening, what is the point to play in MMORPG if at any moments notice everything you’ve done is to be erased and you have to start from scratch again? What happens if next time I’m hacked they decide to delete all my characters? Am I supposed to buy a new account and start off from scratch? Is that what I need to do to have the company provide account recovery?
I’m actually curious to know what their stance is on these questions. If its by case by case basis, then if I talked to a different customer support, would they still decline me a account restoration? If I continue playing the game on the same account for the next 2 years and gotten hacked, would they still deny me an account restoration?
Its understandable regarding their stance on the subject, but in the consumer’s case it makes no sense to continue playing while all these questions are in the back of our minds.

I like GW2 combat, but I am starting to dislike the players who run these dungeons in this game. There are so many elitists players and its starting to get annoying being grouped with them.
You can add me to your dungeon runs, I am interested in trying them without skipping/exploiting and avoiding the type of people who posted in this thread.
To be honest, I think the requirements of some mentors where “must be on voice comms” and/or “have meta/zerk gear” is scaring off potential students.
This pretty much. I’m pretty new to dungeons, so I browsed this forum and found this topic. I thought it be pretty cool to have a mentor but then I noticed the requirements for most of them and it made me feel like it would be a boot camp experience instead of just having fun.
If anyone wants to help out a level 80 newbie thief that isn’t in meta build or full exotics – you can message me or mail me in game. Only explorable mode I’ve done so far and completed is AC1. So any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks guys for the offers, I’ll start looking through your recruitment posts/websites tomorrow and see how it goes from there.
Hello, I’m interested in joining a laid-back guild in which to run dungeons, world events and guild missions with. I’ve been playing since release and have been mostly solo, leveling up all the classes.
Right now I’m interested in tackling dungeons in which I haven’t done most of them. I want to experience them without speed running them or people who talk down to me if I ain’t running the meta build for the class I’m on.
I got 3 80s – Warrior, Thief and Necro. Only the thief and warrior are exotic geared until I can make enough money to finish off my necro. I am more into playing my thief these days so that’s who I will be spending my time on.
I live on the east coast and my play times are pretty random through out the day, but I’ll try to be online if any scheduled events are going on.
Lastly, I’ll give a description about my personality, to see if it would mix with others who are in the guild. I have a pretty good sense of humor, laid back and capable to just relax and enjoy the game – I don’t judge or criticize others who don’t run the meta build, people can play however they want to play to get the most fun out of the game. I am pretty straight-forward and an open book if anyone wants to get to know me. But I’m shy at first, so it’ll take a bit of time for me to be active on guild chat but I’ll be making an effort to get involved with the guild I’m representing.
Well, that’s all for now, thanks for taking the time to read this post. If you have any more questions or if I’m a good fit for your guild, you can contact me in-game.
