Guild Wars 2

Silly for some I guess. To me, copper ore sells for significantly more than the cost to purchase 1 orichalcum harvesting tool. It is annoying to swap tools, so the savings of switching to low-quality tools is not worth my time or the difference in harvesting tool cost.

I dont care what you call it (logs or meters), but I would like a tool that allows me to swap out gear with differing stats, swap my traits out and see which stats contribute best to my performance, wether it be dps, healing, absorption, avoidance, etc.

Just because some bad players/guilds used dps meters to make bad decisions, does not mean the other 99% of the value of those meters is invalid. Stop playing with anti-social people, join a guild, make friends and dps meters dont matter. Every game I have played with a dps meter, our guild would help out players with bad dps stats, without those meters, we would not have really known how to help them.

DPS meters dont ruin games, anti-social players do. Those players will be just as rude without the meters. Dont punish everyone because of some bad eggs.

I kinda feel like the way it works now is by design. If you want the convenience of just using one set of tools, you buy the orichalcum harvesting tools and you just eat the cost because they are still relatively cheap for a level 80 player. I never both with multiple sets of tools and always use the max tools at 80. Swapping the tools out feels really anal retentive and miserly. You can do this if you want the maximum money savings, but its on you.

That said, if there were a software change, I would prefer the idea of a scaling durability and the quality of the harvesting tool limited which items yo u could harvest, but also had more durability points than lower quality tools, etc.
