I must also add that I see little difference between afk’ing portions of the SW events (for the record, I do not afk because I like to, I don’t know, play the game) and skipping dungeon mobs and cheesing dungeon bosses to maximize g/hr returns.

instead of taking out these dungeons as a possibility can we just fix things so that stacking is punished and doing cheezy things is also punished? my first experiences with dungeons included things like “Why arent you running zerker gear” “Get in this corner and stack” “run past everything” etc. The game needs to have all options covered, if I want to run a staff condi mesmer I shouldnt be punished for it, because it’s a reasonable build, while clearly not being as good as a GS zerker build, it needs to make things like stacking bad, we need more monsters that do a cleave and maybe even boon removal, we need to have dungeon monsters never give up on following you, etc etc etc, please work to fix what content was there instead of cutting it off so that it slowly dies and then when the day comes that nobody likes playing it remove it, and then blame it on us for not wanting it. When really it’s just Anet making something worthless so that it dies.

As a side note, do you guys do this often? have you even seen the yakslapper achievement? is it fun for you guys to put things out of possible reach? This achievement and the one where you DEFEND the yaks, are well out of range for…. anyone, I’m willing to bet that not a single player has this. It seems rather impossible with such low spawn rates and such a high number demanded.

Yakslapper is getting drastically lowered in HoT. It will now be within reach (2500 Yaks).

Well one thing addressed at a time I suppose, We’ve got to have the yakslapper title more than we need ascended gear for raids. :/

I was going to write a big long angry post about the economy but I feel like it would go better if I just say it in fewer words: This is going to suck for the people who don’t have an inflated wallet. I want ascended gear, I don’t have time to make 1000 gold to pay for said gear, the game is also nerfing me from creating it myself by lower material rates. this isn’t fair to the people who can’t afford it.

Please make a material sink intended for massively wealthy characters, and allow normal people to obtain ascended gear because it will be the standard for raids. The way I suggest it would be to keep our material rates the same. Because those who have hoarded the most are going to make a huge profit right now and then you just have a rich get richer kind of deal going on.
I’m also a little bit agitated right now because yesterday I sold all of my crafting materials so I could get some gold to pay for things to make my ascended gear today, and the price has suddenly skyrocketed to well out of my reach. So I’ll just be sitting here with a long goal ahead of me for Grind wars 2 HoT, and right there my game just got a whole lot less fun, ascendeds were within reach of normal players, now they’re way out of it (and when the changes hit it will be further out of it because then I won’t be able to get the materials for myself to make this.)

As a side note, do you guys do this often? have you even seen the yakslapper achievement? is it fun for you guys to put things out of possible reach? This achievement and the one where you DEFEND the yaks, are well out of range for…. anyone, I’m willing to bet that not a single player has this. It seems rather impossible with such low spawn rates and such a high number demanded.

Will we be able to buy it in game with gems like the heroic to digital deluxe upgrade?

Answered in this thread.

Thanks!

Yeah but how does it get restricted exactly?

Just wondering how that’s going to work, will we not be able to access the same features or will we not be on the same servers…… what will happen?

And another thing, will we be able to buy it with in game gold like the Heroic → deluxe upgrade?
