drop party time
in front of the falador east bank?
yes half-expansion-mike is not a force to be trifled with
I have been actively reading this thread for a few days now. Interesting how every now and then I refresh this thread and the page count on the thread decreases. Someone must be very busy suppressing opposing viewpoints. Shouldn’t Mike o’Brien get an infraction for calling out players who accused him of releasing half an expansion and that post hidden?

The better business bureau is a private company with no powers of censure, remedial action, or regulatory power.
I agree, but if you read complaints submitted to Anet through BBB some individuals who were previously unable to get their issue resolved went through the BBB and then were able to have their problem fixed.

So where do I go to get refunded some of my money that I paid for HoT? I mean since not all of it was delivered as promised and is clearly not going to be…
In my opinion the worst part is if you volunteer to swap to the losing team you do not get a win unless you somehow manage to win with the team you changed too. In normal pvp if you volunteer to swap to the losing team, no matter what happens you still win.
I think the rewards are pretty good. Everyday I do the fractals 2, 10, 21, 40, 56, 60, 67, and the two random ones for the daily chests. This gives me about 15 gold just from selling the trash I get to the vendor. Also since the update I have already gotten an armor chest and a golden fractal skin, not bad for a week of fractaling.
I have been having this happen to me as well. I thought perhaps I was just lagging or something, but If I am not the only one experiencing this it may very well be a bug.
Sounds like someone needs geodes and doesn’t want to work as hard as everyone else has had too in order to obtain them.
I bet for Anet to “correctly” implement fractal masteries they will need to reset everyone’s fractal level down to 30.
i guess then all the sickles should be made to be normal speed.
Or you couls go into fractals and buy one for 150 tokens. Easy enough to get after a handful of runs. All my chars are fitted out with fractal boxes.
I find that only the rare fractal bag to be useful to me. I do not like the lower rarity ones because they sort items into them when i prefer my inventory to fill from the top to the bottom, except for rare items which I get often enough and want them to stand out because I salvage them with a different kit.
Is there really a reason anymore to craft 20 slot bags since you can just get the 20 slot Halloween pail for 6 gold (3 candy corn cobs at 2g each currently).
I love the skyhammer gameplay machanics, it is refreshing to have a map where you have to use your surroundings.
Anet seems to be hopping on the P2W bandwagon.
Some other items that I consider P2W:
Consortium Harvesting Sickle – harvests faster then normal
watchwork pickaxe – grants you bonus sprockets as you mine
Good point astral, the fast sickle should be removed too.
I was wondering does the halloween merchant go away once halloween is over?
I personally would love it if the only change they did was get rid of fear, i think fear tips the balance to much in favor of the lunatics.
3s is 3s to many!
Says the guy who doesn’t own one….
I get it’s not fair, but it seems obvious they are not going to get rid of it so you might as well jump on the bandwagon.
Lol, I don’t have one because i choose not to have one, I knew about/could have bought one either time that they have been around in the gem shop. I will not buy an item I feel is P2W as that would give Anet the impression that people approve of their P2W items.

If you buy an apple today from the store and they go on sale tomorrow do you go in and ask for the difference?
Lots of clothing + tech/entertainment stores will match their sales prices within some time period so long as you have a receipt. Presumably what they miss on margin they make up in volume. Nothing wrong with that.
I suppose, though, that most of those stores aren’t operating in an environment where the consumer will: still have the receipt, will be basically guaranteed to see the sale, and will easily be able to request the refund. As such, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was better business for A.Net to force us to wait for sales. That said… I got ‘burned’ on the home portal sale that just happened; they’d definitely take my money faster if they offered refunds in these cases (I asked for/didn’t get a refund on that one).
Sure if that is their policy, but I have not heard of Anet following that policy.
I think anet has invested to much time and effort into siege to remove it.

I wish they removed the ‘press the button to see interactive items around you’ feature away completely. Instead made it so only when your character is looking at the item will you see the text appear.
sprocket pickaxe = P2W
K… let me rephrase, a gemshop item that is the MAIN way of getting sprockets into the game is a horrible idea. My reasoning for it being the main method is because in a home instance you collect a few per day, but with the pick you can collect as many as you want.
A gemshop item to provide the game with much needed sprockets… to me that sounds like a horrible way to get needed items into the game.
I hear donating 20g gives you the title “Designated Driver”
Anet must of missed this thread since they re-released the item a short while ago
no worries p2w is already in the game just look at the watchwork sprocket mining pickaxe
I am sure it will come back sooner or later, you know when they need a boost for the fiscal quarter or something. I personally will not buy the watchwork pick, nor any other item from the gemstore because of the watchwork pick since I feel that the pick is vertical progression/p2w.
I came into this topic thinking oh boy another ‘suggestion’, well the screenshots sold me i think this is a great idea!
When guild wars 2 was coming out they talked about how they didn’t want people to grind or deal with time gated content or have p2w scenarios… glad they didn’t change their mind
I would play a female char if only they got some nice skimpy side boob/under boob armor like humans have…
Charrs don’t have breasts so that would be a bit pointless wouldn’t [it? however because they don’t; they share the same, more skimpy, armour as the males.
Excuse the [ ; the language filter on here is less than sensible.
i see where you are going with this, yes chars need huge boobs!
What I like about rangers most is their water field heal spell, that thing cures conditions, and lasts for a while so you can bomb it to get everyone back to full hitpoints if needed.
You mean to tell me that you guys don’t try to troll people in your group by staying near them and trying to get them killed?… that is the funnest part of the boss fight.
If your personal reward level is 18 and you do a 29 it will count as an 18, and since you had already done a 19 it would not give you another chest.

“Here’s our philosophy on microtransactions: We think players should have the opportunity to spend money on items that provide visual distinction and offer more ways to express themselves. They should also be able to spend money on account services and on time-saving convenience items. But it’s never OK for players to buy a game and not be able to enjoy what they paid for without additional purchases, and it’s never OK for players who spend money to have an unfair advantage over players who spend time.”

I guess things have changed…
So I noticed today http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24518 that the crest of the magi fell from 1s99c to 19c. I was wondering if that is legit due to the item’s floor being 1s99c. I am wondering if this is just a glitch in the api or did the price really change that much? ( i cannot check myself at the moment )
What do you want? They’ve introduced new tools that don’t have any bonus harvesting features. They haven’t reintroduced it in the Gem Shop where they’ve returned all the other tools at least once. By their actions it looks as if they learned their lesson. Looking for a written apology? Expecting them to nerf the pick (they won’t)?
It would be nice if they wrote an apology to everyone, and even nicer if they nerf the pick.
My main reason for bumping this thread is so people/Anet do not forget about the silly sprocket pick and the topics it spawned. I obviously can’t just say “bump” in the post now can I, since that is less then 15 characters and doesn’t spur any sort of conversation.
so still nothing said from Anet about this tool power creep?
Brilliant idea penguin, i hope they implement it at the same time as the watchwork sprocket armor… When you get hit you get a sprocket.
sprockets now up to 3.3silver each, feeling more and more like p2w
Since sprockets have gotten pretty high in price, this gives a distinct advantage to the people who have them over those who don’t. This issue still needs to be addressed…
mhm
just in case anet forgot about this topic
If I am recalling correctly they have changed their mind about this and are going a different route.
here is hoping there won’t be
