A change like this would add some magic and excitement back into the game
Nah. Killing the boss for the nth time and still not getting the drop you want gets tiring really fast. The excitement of getting that rare drop is based on a low drop chance, which practically guarantees that most players will either never see it, or will need to grind for it for a long time. making those drops unobtainable in any other way is going to create a lot of frustration and anger.

Why did Anet waste developer resources on making a dungeon that will only be available for 2 weeks (April 30 to May 12.)? I don’t understand this.
that’s a good question – i was certain that it will be there for at least a month. The better question at the moment however is – why did they spend so much resources on dungeon that doesn’t even work?

A great farming spot before the living story arrived here, then the cling on zergs arrived and now its nerfed.
I dont normally come onto the forums to have a moan but you guys have really helped the community by having yet another good farming spot nerfed.
so yeah, good job
At least someone else besides you got to use it before it got nerfed. So yes, might have been a problem for you, but, for a time at least, it did help the community. Until Anet decided to kill the fun once again, of course.

If you don’t want to log in, don’t log in, the reward “track” keeps on going and just moves on when you log in next, no harm done.
There are 365 days in the year. If I log in every day of the year, then in that year I will get 365 rewards. If I don’t log in every day, then I will get less than 365 rewards.
Sure. The people that play the game more will generally receive more rewards than those that play less. Unless you’d want to normalize that too?
I’m afraid that Anet’s not going to reward anyone for not playing. They are definitely not going to reward anyone for not even bothering to log in.

I’m not so sure about culling specific avatars (mostly because it might not be trivial to implement – i can already see several important points of difference between this and the old culling mechanics), but blocking feature should really be expanded to really work. For one, blocking should make it impossible for person blocked to friend you in order to see where you are. Just as blocking someone should not show you where they are too (while it can be currently useful to avoid blocked people, it can work the other way too, and, like friend feature, can be used to find you back)

I keep seeing people saying ArenaNet has lied about this expansion, and haven’t delivered.
I just got back to the game last week, can anyone enlighten me on what promises they have gone back on? Or is everyone just whining for the sake of whining?
It’s not about breaking promises (because, let’s be frank, Anet never promises much), but more about misinformation through omission. Anet withheld a lot of important info about the expac – the major part of this being the sudden change of game direction.
They may not have lied, but still what they delivered was not what majority of players expected.
Not that there weren’t things where Anet did promise and didn’t deliver (like elite specs supposed to be a sideways, not upward, upgrade to core class).
Which is why this time i’ll be waiting for more detailed info and way better communication before i’ll even consider preordering.

1. The cost is too high, make it more affordable like pre-hot (I have to remind you that pre-hot we all have the same cost)
2. I want to buy everything at half the cost
Which is it?
Both – i want to be able to buy it at the fraction of the current cost, because my guild is simply unable to ever afford it at the current pricing. Whether it would mean decreasing the price for all, or price scaling, i don’t really care. I’m not in this to fix the world – i assume, that big guilds are perfectly able to take care of their own interests. If i don’t hear them complaining about the prices, i have to assume they are okay with them – and i don’t hear them complaining that much (besides complains about scribing, that seems to be universal regardless of size).
TL/DR: What I want is for the prices to be reasonable for small guilds. How is that achieved, i don’t really care that much. And if players from big guilds will continue to claim that the prices are okay (and small guilds should shut up), as many do in this and similar threads , then they can continue to pay them for all i care. As long as i won’t have to.

What have you found “abusive” from raiders? I lead pug groups every week. I have not encountered any abusive behavior.
Something like “Can you change your class?” or “Don’t use x trait here because Y is a lot better.” or even “We are looking for a warrior but you entered as a ranger. Change class or leave.” is extremely offensive in gw2.
If you find this abusive or offensive, then I’m not sure what to tell you.
I’m pretty sure he is arguing for your side, trying to discredit the other one.

And yet people don’t see to have any issues whatsoever that PvP:ers “have to” do PvE in order to gain the vast majority of stuff.
Quite the opposite – many PvPers do have issue with that. And you know what? I’m certainly not going to tell them they have to PvE if they don’t want it.

Isn’t June way too soon for an expansion? Especially because there hasn’t been a single word on the matter?
He didn’t say the expansion will be in June, just the news.
Personally, i wouldn’t count on next expac happening this year – if that was a plan, we would have first news about it already. I’d say August next year is the earliest something can happen.
And as for any general news, state of the game posts, or game direction updates. I wouldn’t expect them at all. Anet seems institutionally incapable of communicating on that level.

It’s funny watching all the champions of this game twist and turn and lie over and over and change definitions to defend their position.
Lol, i think that was the first time ever that i have been called a defender of this game. Also – if you think people are lying here, please prove it instead of just calling names.
