Guild Wars 2

I fail to see how jumping from server to server makes it fun

It was a little like a jumping puzzle… but with running. How fast can I run? How fast can I clear these maps? How many grand chests can I open in one event?

Once you managed 80 you wanted 90. Once you managed 90 you wanted 100. It was fun… and the salvaging after was just the icing on the cake.

I know I’ll miss Grym’s ‘Multilooting for the fashionably late…’

Cheers.

1. Join the AB guild
2. Make 40g+ from a single AB meta
3. Farm until it’s fixed like it should be

1. No need to join a guild. There are multiple ‘multiloot’ squads posting for most events;
2. If you think he’s exaggerating with 40g… he’s not… and that’s for 30 minutes ‘work’;
3. Anet has been told it’s happening… has done nothing to correct it… so it must be WAI. Maybe it’s another ‘Look! Gliders! Buy HoT!’… only this time it’s ‘Look! Gold! Buy HoT!’

Hmm, previously-earned extra WvW ranks are still worth nothing. That is unfortunate.

I have a friend who started GW2 about the same time as I. He chose map completion. I chose WvW. Until recently he sat on 1600 worthless hero points (200 per alt, 8 alts) while I sat on 1500 worthless WvW ranks (above the 900 or so I need to complete all WvW tracks).

Now his 1600 hero points are very valuable… while my 1500 extra WvW ranks are still worthless… despite the fact that my 1500 took longer to gather than his 1600. They should at least be worth as much. Wasn’t there talk about WvW and PvE being treated equally? Why is PvE rewarded while WvW is still treated like the unwanted stepchild? With 200 hero points per alt, he’ll have all elite specializations done quickly… while I’m forced to GRIND map completions… or GRIND a lot of additional WvW.

That’s a lot of grinding in a game not all about the grind

Please take another look at this decision. It appears quite unfair to WvW players. If there is good cause not to value our time in WvW as much as PvE is being valued please let us know. Right now the decision feels arbitrary and anti-WvW.

Cheers, and thanks in advance if someone actually responds.

Hello! Anet?! Grym has a good point. I don’t have extra WvW ranks, but I like WvW and would hope it’s treated equally to PvE. Please answer. Why are PvE hero points retroactively recognized while WvW ranks are worthless?

SW still pays well. Just join a chest farm, run around in the same mind-numbing circle until bored to tears, and then cash in. It may not be fun… but at least you’re ‘winning’ :/

The only thing sadder than P2W is Pay-not-to-loss.
