Guild Wars 2

Copestetic.5174:

Would you consider playing HoT, “braindead farming”?

I’ve made probably about 200g just from playing HoT since launch. I’ve taken two characters through the expansion and working on a third. Across all three, I have about 3 stacks of Silk, tons of Elder Wood, about a stack of Ancient Wood, bookoo’s of leather mats, I know for a fact, 3 stacks of Flax, nearly 200 Ectos, etc…etc… and this isn’t figured into the amount of gold I mentioned I’ve made, this stuff’s just sitting in my character’s inventories/bank.

My point being, getting the mats required for Ascended gear seems to be pretty easy. Work on HoT achievements, level them Masteries, run a few of your characters through for the Crystilline Ore, pick-up all the Flax to sell ( still at around 6-7s each ) and sell what you don’t need.

Don’t know, doesn’t seem too hard to me.

I wouldn’t consider playing HoT brain dead no, but none of my characters are currently at the level cap to even start with any of their content. I’m a very casual player and I used dungeons to finance my gear as well as my occasional crafting leveling. I have no idea how you amassed over 200g, but I’m sure it was through quite a bit of dedicated play time. I only really have the opportunity to play an hour or two at most when I get the free time to actually play.

The dungeon gold nerf was just far too much for me to stay attracted to this game anymore.
“hurr do raids”
With what gear? I don’t have the money to even raise my crafting lvls to craft ascended gear, let alone the gold required in materials to craft each piece. It’s an absolutely horrible catch 22: I don’t have the money to craft ascended gear because the gold rewards got majorly nerfed, I CAN’T get the money from raids since I lack the aforementioned ascended gear. There is literally no feasible way for non-raiding PvE players to make any amount of decent money out side of silverwaste braindead farming which is going to get nerfed in the future so I won’t even count that.
“hurr play the market”
I played guild wars 2 for PvE content, not a stupid market simulator, take your snark elsewhere you bookah.

If there’s any other way to amass gold that isn’t braindead silverwastes or the boresome trade post, please tell me. I absolutely hate that I can’t play the way I want to be play because the devs think everyone is actually raid ready. It’s absolutely infuriating.

pls fix sword auto attack anet, no other auto attack roots you in place constantly, this is stupid.

too bad ANET isn’t going to do anything about this. Leveling past the 1-15 zones is absolute boredom honestly. I wish there was underflow, but unless we stop buying gems, spamming their social network/moderator PMs, they simply won’t listen.

Hey, hows it goin? Wanna light my fire? (If you know what I mean)
