Guild Wars 2

This kit has totally destroyed my happiness. I kinda wish you guys would just STOP selling it to unsuspecting folks until you get this problem fixed. I bought the kit, adjusted the color of my glow and poof – no glow! It now is set to perma-low no matter what I do.

Filed a ticket, and no refund or nothing has happened. Bought FOUR more kits and tried to follow the advice of other forum gamers who report mixed success getting their glow back. Nothing. $50.00 later, no refunds, no answers, just more delays fixing one of the more personal issues in a game – one based on a major source of player satisfaction and account retention: identifying and bonding with your avatar.

To be honest, the first few days after losing my glow I didn’t think it would bother me as much as it has, but it grows on you. Eating away and making you more frustrated and sad each time you notice the issue. I am lucky to game with my fiance, who also plays a Sylvari. Every time it’s evening, and my partner is glowing, it makes me unhappy I am not glowing as well.

I feel ignored and dismissed as a gaming consumer =(

People don’t give a skritt about the violence (in this game or other games), but when it comes to something sexual, something sexy like revealing armor, people complain and whine.

It’s funny when girls say that it’s sexist, even though a female designed the outfits.

News Flash: Sexy isn’t my clothing. My clothing doesnt give consent, or ask you to be my lover. Being sexy is a state of mind and a way of communicating. Expressing the desire to not be forced to run around half naked has very little to do with sexiness.

Also, the gender of the armor designer doesn’t make the reality of being forced to be half-clothed “okay”.

Personally, I don’t know why there isn’t a bunch of underwear and skimpier armor skins in the cash shop. That’s the kind of thing that’s purely aesthetic and people spend ridiculous amounts of money on. It’s also VERY cheap to produce.

I agree. I’d love to purchase awesome, cute and yes, even skimpy items in the cash shop. It’d be great to have a choice. Instead, I am doing the opposite: scanning the cash shop in a desperate bid to find something to cover myself up with. Much like in RL, some days I just don’t feel like seeing my butt cheeks flapping in the wind as I run around doing stuff.

Having a choice in what I wear, like the male avatars have, would be welcome.
