So much for the bag/bank slot sale!!!

I’m curious, assuming the argument that a 20% discount should apply to the gem exchange rate (I think people here have done a good job of explaining why the sale isn’t a sale on the exchange, so lets leave that be). What system do you use to create a moving 20% discount on exchange, keeping in mind that the supply of gems is not unlimited, and that the exchange does not fabricate gems?

How is the supply of gems NOT unlimited? Every time someone buys gems with dollars, gems are created out of thin air by Anet. Every. Time. That’s unlimited supply or am I missing something?

That being said, one way would be to fix the ratio gems-gold for x hours.

Not that I would like that: I am fully aware that these promotions are pure marketing stunts, created to make more money for Anet. Anet would have to come up with other ways to make money, if they don’t trick people with borderline-false advertising.

And let’s face it, it IS borderline-false advertising: the price of bank slots did NOT go down with 20% when you buy the gems with gold, in fact, the price went UP.

Something tells me that the marketing people at Anet are high-fiving themselves cause they managed to trick people into buying the same thing for more gold with this action, lol.

8.45 gold per 100 gems?

You’re telling me that because I spent money you have to?

Thank you for proving my point about people with an attitude towards a person like me just because I spent money.

If you do not see that a company caters to the need of people that spend money, at the expense of people that do not spend money, then there is really nothing I can say to help you understand.

Call it an attitude if you want. That doesn’t make it wrong.

Time for a score update…

The TC lead is more than expected: the 105k lead of TC over KN can mmaybe be explained by the guilds that left/leaving KN, but the 85k lead of TC over FA is a lot.

Really nice FA, camping the entrance of the Jumping Puzzle in EB and keep ranging the platform so we stay in combat and can’t get out.

Really, really nice.

This is seriously messed up.

ANet said it was till the 16th. I did ALL the Living Story achievements and now they do this???

Come on, ANet, this is blatantly unfair to those who did ALL the quests!!!

Fix this, show that you at least care a MINIMUM about your players, gee.

30th April Patch Update

Tallis.5607

Seriously is someone blowing the thief dev on a regular basis? So they get to spend 50% of the time invisible and immune to all damage whilst pumping out insane dps? Really? Really? 4s revealed reverted to 3s? Should be 10s min.

<nods in agreement>

It’s amazing that thiefs get BUFFED. Just before the last patch, they announced that thiefs will get their DPS down to more normal levels.

But they chickend out and didn’t do the change, they just changed the timer from 3 to 4 and called that a nerf (lol).

Now, it’s back at 3 and thiefs are just as OP as before.

I really, really wondered what happened inbetween.

Did all the WvW DEVs got a 80 thief on their accounts with zerker gear or so? It’s amazing how they can keep one class so OP. Highest DPS and stealth at will.

What’s next, give them clones or so? Oh, wait…

I don’t see this being a problem unless you are running a bot to gather mats for you. I just kill everything then harvest the area. So far it hasn’t failed me yet.

I am not a bot and I kill as few things as possible. I mine in combat too, outside Orr. It’s only in Orr that I get ruined stuff.

Uh i doubt it is reviewed that much. I was forced to change my name twice, once literally just now.

It was “Unsanitary Napkin”. Tell me how that is offensive please?

I agree, there is clearly no group of people that enforces a correct policy. If there were such a group, you would be banned immediatly for using that name. No appeal, no explanation, no reasoning, just ban immediatly.

People like you do not belong in a game.

3/8 Kain - FA - TC

Tallis.5607

False, non of this is true.
We dont hate anyone, we just look for good fights, TC cant do open field fighting, they are busy Roleplaying by the campfire.
So we go after FA more, they are enough to keep us entertained

We carry camfire kits just to put down and start pretending to roleplay, when we see Kainegs comming. Once you’re all gone, we start taking keeps and camps again.

We’re smart that way!

4/19 TC/FA/Kain - Week 7

in WvW

Posted by: Tallis.5607

Tallis.5607

Actually whoever drops to T3 will probably gain so many points they’ll jump back to T2 a week later. And then, repeat. I foresee quite a bit of that for the next couple weeks. Those who want some variation are going to get it.

Let’s hope so, variation is the spice of life!

But… it is not a save bet that KN will return to T2 immediatly.

The difference between KN and the other T3 servers is more than 200 ranking points. KN will need to win the match with A LOT more points to win in ranking.

And there is no way of predicting how WvW is impacted by CO & WM leaving.

And FA will fight for their place in T2. With a new server in the tier, things always light up: players play longer against the new guys, guilds want to show who they are, players that quit WvW return and so on. FA will benefit from this, their coverage will go up.

So, I would not take bets on KN returning immediatly, except maybe at 4-1 odd or so.

Silver Doubloons

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Tallis.5607

Tallis.5607

They were bought out by one person in the second week of November, so there is only an extreem small supply.

Since some people need them for their legendary and it is totally impossibly to farm 250 doubloon yourself, this type of market manipulation pays off in the mid-term.

Especially since Anet doesn’t do anything against it.

From Anet’s point of view, high gold prices for these items are good, cause high prices cause people to buy more gems to turn them into gold. Unless too many people leave because of these prices, but apperently this level hasn’t been reached yet.

No, I am sooooooo not excited about these new items. At the contrary, we do NOT need another MMO with gear tiers.

What Is Up With Increasing Prices?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Tallis.5607

Tallis.5607

But as for your post, Anet doesn’t control the prices, we players do.

Take ectos…
- Anet decided on the drop rates of rares. Not the players.
- Anet decided on how many ectos you get on salvages on average. Not the players.
- Anet decided on the amount of ectos needed in legandaries. Not the players.
- Anet decided on the 15% fee. Not the players.
- Anet decided to have a way to legitimatly buy gold.

All of these elements are elements that are beyond the player’s control.
And all these elements determine the price of ectos.

Then saying ‘Anet doesn’t decide on the price’ is… well… simply not true.

What is the right way to report someone...

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Tallis.5607

Tallis.5607

What is the right way to report someone that continues troll in WvW and places siege in terible places, so that we can’t build proper siege to defend our keeps?

For example, someone that builds so much siege in the Lord room of a keep that we can’t place any decent defensive siege, because of the limited siege rule.

We have reported this person over and over witht he in-game reporting tool, but nothing was done: this person is still building fake siege in our keeps.

The worse is in EB, because this troll just builds siege at the start of the week and that siege stays there until we loose the keep. He doesn’t even have to refresh it ever half hour, cause siege in EB doesn’t de-spawn.

Can ANet please tell us what we can do about this, how to report this person? We got videos, we got screenshots, we got testimonies…

Or does ANet find it’s fair in WvW that one person can sabotage keeps like this? If ANet thinks it’s fair, then please tell us so, so we can stop being so frustrated about ANet’s silence on this topic!

The bl TP being abused

Tallis.5607

But it’s the players who’ve decided that ectos should be worth 30s, not Anet.

Well, let’s see…

Anet decided how many Ectos ‘drop’.
Anet decided how many uses there are for Ectos.
Anet decided how many alternatives there are for Ectos.

So, for me, it is clear that Anet certainly helps to determine the price of Ectos.

They’re trying to provide content and a unique alternative to how gear progression works.

Unique?

What is so unique about a new tier of gear?

It is the exact same thing as every other MMO out there. 100% identical.

You get a new tier of gear with more stats on them and a new ‘infusion’ spot.

Even if this infusion spot is onlt some sort of anti-agony-stat and not an extra VIT or PREC spot, the added base stats on the gear makes this the exact same thing as every single other MMO out there, a new tier of gear.

You may like to grind new gear. That’s your right.

But don’t call it anything else than what it is: a step into changing this game into every other MMO out there.

it’s been a pleasure fighting everyone and sharing experiences and laughing about fond memories. We’ve always tried to respect our opponents

Take care, wherever you go… I never saw CO dance on a corpse, camp a spawn, disrespect RPers, kill at a jumping puzzle or brag on the forums how great they are after winning one single fight. That says enough about CO for me!

20 for portal is a good number.

It is true that all classes have abilities that are wanted.

But the portal is not wanted it is needed.

You can win in WWW without thiefs or elementalists (which I consider the 2nd & 3rd most useful class in WWW) ot without any other class. But you can’t win without mesmers. At least not in tier 3, where we play now.

Obviously nobody is going to believe this, but we didn’t tank on purpose….. we got weaker, dropped into silver league, got some guilds and got back to regular FA.

You’re trying to convince us that it is coincidence that you fell to 7th place juuuuuuuust as the season started.

After you were 6th or 5th for (I checked) 33 weeks!

Come on!

I know that these forums aren’t exactly the most truthful place around (I may or may not have exagerated thiongs in the past myself), but this is a bit too much spinning.

Even for FA!
