Guild Wars 2

Lafiel.9372:

Come on guys, have a little more faith in Anet, though a lot of it is fueled by money, there is still a little good about it. I’m sure this is ultimately a bug that they’re being very very slow to fix about it because it’s not breaking the economy but just grieving the players.

To be completely honest, everything is fueled by money. There is not a single thing in the world that is not tied in some way to money.

It isn’t that I don’t have faith in Anet, I have faith that they will do what is right for their stakeholders and their business. Nothing more. They will either fix it or they won’t. Asking to fix it, complaining, demanding (like we have any weight with which to demand anything from a game company), or anything else has all the same level of consideration minus how its presentation effects the receiver. Anet is overly infatuated with its DR concept, so I doubt they will bend in any way.

All the hardcore players already have their legendary, ascended, infused swag with thousands of gold overflowing their banks. They were in before stuff got nerfed and were too busy figuring out how to get the most while everyone else balked at changes. This only truly has impact on those of us who can’t live in the game, have only patience for finding the obvious and easy routes to make our bling. We don’t have the patience or time to carve a million tries at a thousand different variables to find the little “ins”.

Anet doesn’t care about either group. They just care about microtransactions and generating enough stuff to keep mildly annoyed players from becoming fully annoyed and slipping off to WoW or something.

I am on Henge of Denravi and this has been unavailable since 02/05/2013, but at least two of those days I was not logged in.

yea if people wan to camp their characters and only kill dragons whats the issue? its not an exploit, as long as they arent botting its doing nothing wrong and they shouldnt be punished for it, they paid for the game they get to decide how to play it

I agree with you, but you are wrong in the eyes of every game company out there. You may buy their game, spend actual money in their cash shops, and fulfill all terms and conditions, but you still do not have the right to decide how you play the game. Anet, like all the others, wants you to do it their way only and they will tell you what that is, or you have to find out somehow if it is ninja’d in.

You have to be aware, that you only buy the privilege to play the game (how they want to let you, when they want to let you, etc.), nothing more. All these companies have the right to change or take away any or all things within at any time and are not even required to inform you ahead of time.

It sucks, but that is the real situation. They will likely never fully admit to it, and do not call them, confront them, or insult them on it at any time. A staffer who takes a dislike to you can cause a lot of havoc with your game account, in-game experience, and even the financial means you use to acquire expansions or cash shop items. And unless they are sloppy, you can never prove it. We just have to live with it.
