Suck at Love (Banned)

Personally, I think it’s a little harsh to ban them both for a single 60 second incidence to grab a quick map completion that was never repeated, it’s not like any rewards gotten can’t be removed, but on the other hand, it’s pretty clearly botting, and totally Anet’s call, they know all the facts.

Are you saying the gold you sent people was attained through illicit means?

Also, if you don’t know all the facts to lay down judgement as you say, should you really be assuming all they did was 60 seconds worth of botting to, you know, just grab a casual map completion etc.

Wow, everyone is so judgmental. Like Anet had NEVER gotten it WRONG?

I wanna shine a little light on the whole cheating matter. I am 100 % aware about the terrible things I have done and said and I assure you, I am not proud of them. I just hope that some of you will understand that there is a story behind this and maybe reconsider the whole “just terrible cheaters/botters/liars and bad human beings” mindset. So here is what I did:

First of all, Stacy had NOTHING to do with any of this. She deserves nothing of the hate we are getting because of me. I kittened up, big time, and I take full responsibility.

You were saying?

Everyone was wrong about it being the WD JP…. He probably assumed the same thing as everyone else, now I am not saying he is being honest now, but if it was a single incidence that he tried out ONCE to get 29 WP or POIs or whatever, I don’t really think all the hating is justified, none of us is perfect….

So someone who runs a red light (only once!) in their car should get a free pass?
Someone who steals out of the cash register at work (only once!) should only get a tap on the wrist?
You do the wrong thing, even once, there’s a chance you’ll get caught. He did.. & now he’s sorry about it only because he got repercussions.

And everyone going on about “oh, unfair IP banning for everyone in the house!”
Did they say that’s what happened? Because all I heard were that his account was banned for botting, and her account was banned probably because the 200g he sent her was a profit from botting. She was complicit whether she knew about it or not.
If she truly didn’t know about it I think it’s fair she gets the account back but, honestly, I’m skeptical.

Game Updates: Guild World Events, Megaservers, WvW

okay. I’m joining the legions of people that hate the megaserver. Let me list the reasons why I, personally, don’t like it.

1. During the week I live at my apartment which has a good computer. I have to turn all the graphic settings right down just to deal with the sheer volume of people doing events. There’s so many, in fact, that the culling only manages to render about 1/3 of the zerg. It looks ugly, & my FPS suffers. Though I am one of the lucky ones who’s computer at least won’t crash during events.
When I go home on the weekend is another story. My home computer is pretty standard. I already gave up doing wvw at home because it would crash when dealing with wvw zergs. Now the bosses have zergs which rival any wvw zerg I’ve ever seen.
Now what? I’m reduced to just NOT playing at all on the weekend.

2. Guild missions overlap with other guilds. My guild does missions on a set day at a set time so everyone can be sure when it will be on. We went to do a mission the other day and had to put up with other guilds activating it when our guild isn’t all present, we are forced to help the other guilds with their missions just to get credit? What about our guild members that couldn’t get there because they thought our mission started later? Or even weren’t in the same instance and trying to get into the map? They just have to miss out now? The bounty hunts are pretty much “WHOEVER FINDS IT FIRST WINS!”. These were not a concern before…

3. Temples. wtf happened to my precious Dwayna. I used to run it all the time & haven’t run it at all since megaserver. why? Because now I never know when it’s even going! I also assume that since it’s the ONLY dwayna temple now, it’s already done 99% of the time anyway. What’s the point? There goes a good little nugget of dragonite.

4. Yesterday I tried to do megadestroyer. Ended up on a ~MeGaSeRvEr~ (glorified overflow?) which wasn’t as populated as it should have been for an event (I know because my fps was normal for once). The event was bugged. So after doing the pre event, the main even didn’t even work. We had to just wait until the next event. waste of time.

5. Sure it’s nice all the events are timed. Now everyone knows what to expect. it’s more reliable. It was just as reliable before… it was just as easy to know what was going on & where… plus you had the added option of going to a less populated server for less crowd or a more populated server if you wanted the event done faster. Now it’s zergs always, all the time.
The old timers were better. I could do all my events during a little cluster of time & leave and go do other things. Now you have to keep coming back ever hour or so to do the events you want? It’s just irritating. You have to be watching the clock all the time just to make sure you don’t miss it! It’s stressful, when it used to be relaxing…

The magaserver is ONLY GOOD for NEW players who need help because they don’t have a clue what they’re doing at all. But the amount of people trying to play “end-game” content would be much greater than the amount of new players by now.. So while you’ve made lower lvl maps a bit more populated for the newbies. You’ve turned all the higher level events into zerg/lag fests for everyone else. Good one.

Basically, activities I used to do on GW2 used to be relaxing… I liked doing temples/dragons, going at my own pace, collecting my dragonite & getting some ectos along the way…
Now it feels stressful. Like I have to rush everywhere just to get credit for anything!
Everything dies too quickly! It’s not fun. I don’t like it. Down with megaservers.

& ban colder than you already! Jesus christ. He finally left our server and now he’s merged back again spewing the same asinine kitten.

Tengu inadvertently confirmed?

I think if the tengu become playable, they’ll do it sometime after Scarlet’s major plan has been revealed (not during), after all, the living story has been building up to this moment for quite some time so I don’t think they’d want to be dividing the player’s attention between having the tengu suddenly playable/heavily involved and the plot point they’ve been working towards for months.
I feel the tengu becoming playable will be a story within itself and not an ‘accompanying’ element this current story.

Change (mostly all) Soulbound to Accountbound

What’s wrong in moving “Siege Weapon Plans” to another alt?

I said most. And that would be one of the exceptions.

Or at least let your other chars transmute a soulbound armor piece.

Transmutation Stones are Account Bound?

And can you even get a piece of armor in the game that is Soulbound without equipping it first?

Skins I don’t mind much, but the gear itself should be Soulbound. This is because otherwise plenty of casual people are just going to get a single set of Heavy, Medium and Light armor and pass those from character to the next. And considering how easy it is to get a decent set of Exotic armor, I see no reason to make it any easier. Heck, just by doing Daily Achievements, you can get a full 6 piece set of Exotic armor from the Temples in 38 days. Add in Monthly Achievement and that’s down to 28 days. Add in another Monthly Achievement and it’s 18 days. Less than 3 weeks for a full set of endgame gear.

2 monthly achievements in less that 3 weeks?
are you a timelord?

totally spamming but commenting again to take it back.
I used a blue peice of armour for the transmuting rather than a white peice which I think stuffed it up.
I used a white piece instead & it is now account bound <: (yay!)
although. seriously arenanet. make order armour account bound on purchase.
you’re doing my head in.

Well, glad it worked. There was one eye-catchy bug with transmuting, so i wouldnt be surprised if they have fixed that workaround already. Seems like they only addressed issue with cultural armors.

oh wow haha. well I haven’t had a chance to actually apply the skin yet (want to get some nice stats going to put my pretty skin onto) but I’ll definitely bring it up if it’s an issue.

transmutation (which won’t work because the armour can’t be moved to a different character in the first place).

Here’s how it works currently:
Buy the order item on whatever character has access to it.
Get a white item of the same type. Like, you can just buy the cheapest stuff on the TP for a few coppers.
Transmute the skin onto the white item. It will say “soulbound,” but that’s fine.
Put your transmuted item into the bank.
Log into the character that wants to use the item.
Open up your bank. Even though the thing says “soulbound,” notice how it doesn’t say “Soulbound to another character.” You can take the item out of the bank and transmute it again to put its skin on a different piece of gear.

I actually just tried this (with the gloves just to test it out) & after I transmuted the skin & stats to the white item it still remained soulbound to my other character u.u; sigh.. I’m trying to work with you arenanet, I really am, but you’re making this impossible. & I want my pretty armour skin kitten
yes I mad.

point well taken ^^ & i thankyou for the advice! at least if I find myself desperately wanting this armour even after it seems unlikely they would make it account bound, I’ll know that there IS a possible way to get it.
I’ll keep whinging at arenanet until I get tired though haha!

I really love a particular set of the order of whisper’s armour for one of my characters, however, that character has joined a different order & is unable to get the armour…

I would like to be able to buy it on my character that HAS allegiance with the order of whispers and transfer the armour to my other character though my bank or something.
however I can’t, because order armour is soulbound on acquire…

can this be rectified by either making the armour from orders account bound instead of soulbound?
or letting us change our character’s allegiance somehow?

or if there is a way, please let me know, because all I’ve seen so far is either people saying it’s impossible or suggesting transmutation (which won’t work because the armour can’t be moved to a different character in the first place).
