Guild Wars 2

The AH now features a rather large and obnoxiously-located “GET MORE GOLD” button, which is of course, intended to lure people into buying more gems.

I don’t really have a problem with microtransactions in general however I do have a problem with a giant “PAY TO WIN” button eating up a large chunk of the most valuable screen real estate in the auction UI.

Moneygrabbing should not trump good UX design.

The original issue the OP described can still occur, and is mirrored by a similar buyer’s issue. It’s possible this was addressed in the patch, but not mentioned (wouldn’t be the first time an important and desired change was hidden).

Behellagh.1468:

On the buy side, quantity available is first filtered by the max price filter. You can’t say you want X amount, price is no object as before.

I have not had problems selling any size quantity but that’s likely due to me not trying to match high bid.

In the past, if you didn’t realize it, if you sold a stack to high bid and they didn’t want all of your stack, it auto created a sell order for the remaining at that price. If I’m understanding the OP correctly, it sounds like that doesn’t happen anymore.

yes, and honestly, the current system, if i understand it the way you do, is actually better, because before people were unintentionally creating big undercut situations. which artificially lowered the sell prices, for different amount of times depending on the item.

Not only that, but if you actually wanted to sell instantly, you basically couldnt without losing your 5% cost of selling. when you take it off.

The patch a few minutes ago was a bunch of bug fixes and this:

Adjusted selling within the Trading Post so that the default is set to match the highest buyer instead of the lowest seller.

Why??? Can we at least get an option to change this. Now listing an item, which is the most frequent action on the TP for most players, requires extra mouse movement and an extra click.

You can now only sell instantly to the highest buyer. What this means is that you cannot select the highest buyer’s price, and list your stack at that price. Sell instantly takes much longer when you have to sell again per buy order.

It also means that if there is some commodity with a large buy/sell gap, one could easily troll it by placing multiple buy orders for a single unit 1 copper apart, making selling instantly anything but.

I’m required to click 1425 times to buy enough Sun Beads to craft all the Beaded weapons for the Hylek Historian-achievement.
A merchant in Orr allows us to purchase 10 obsidian shards with a single click and it would be nice if we could do the same with sun beads.

The most important missing feature that needs to be added back is “Match My Lowest Listing”. Losing that is a huge loss of functionality. The key piece of information we’re losing here is the ability to be able to list things where we already had them (convenience) and the ability to not undercut ourselves (since we don’t readily know now). Pretty much everything else about the new TP I love.

Oh, and it’s really annoying typing “I am Evon Gnashblade” to enable/disable that mode. It needs to be more convenient, maybe as a filtering option?

Because It a HARDCORE job after the patch.

First you comepletely removed them on Material Storage page.
Now theres no way to check which mini you missing in each set.

Then you group ALL 3 SET with ALL THOSE SPECIAL mini together in a group called miniature in waredrobe. And since this is not the Material Storage page, you cannot right click on them and buy from TP.

And the best part, you can’t check which mini you account bounded on TP.
And you can’t even check which Set they belongs to.

I dare you to try collect all 3 mini set from zero, currently its close to impossible if you don’t buy them all at a time.

i suddenly clicked on a stupid +70heal food in EOTM someone dropped near a banner and had primer on me now i have this stupid buff for 7 hours and can´t use my birthday blaster

fix this plz and give me back my primer

edit: cause the birthdayblaster buff is shorter than other buffs it can not overwrite other buffs – even when primer make them alle same

well we loved , GVG HoH, Capes , Anet run mats/sats/dats , Hardmode , End game worlds

Lots of builds/templates/skills

all i can think of for now

Seven Star Stalker.1740:

IMO they should just tax the cost after the purchase. .×.

This will only lead to people using the TP as storage. List 250 iron ore at a price of 1000g, retrieve when needed. No costs made.

Gotta love a game that vastly out rewards pure dumb luck over actually playing it.

Yeah, but they took the time to nerf FGS. And spider queen. And the ac troll in HOTW. Meh, maybe they shouldn’t touch dungeons if they are doing it this way.

Charming Rogue.8071:

“New achievements will also now be available for completing Wardrobe account unlocks for the series 1, 2, and 3 minis.”

When you already have all the AP for those mini sets, will you unlock them retroactively? Because I’m sure not I’m alone when I say that I have sold all my mini’s after I unlocked the achievements related to them.

Yeah, it is total bullkitten.

Why? He sold the minis, so he doesn’t get the minis now. Makes sense to me.

Because people are silly, entitled brats who think that they must have everything handed to them retroactively when they made a decision before a feature was announced. It happened with the armor in the wardrobe too. People get over it.

No, because these are no longer obtainable. They unlocked the achievements we needed and then we were able to reforge them for the next set. And those unlocked the achievements. Now they’re adding new achievements that we should have had to begin with. So we are expected to keep everything we get in game from day one or else we’re kittened over. This is why nobody likes the games anet plays. I wouldn’t be surprised in set 1, 2 and 3 are on the Gem shop again the day of the patch just to get more people to buy gems and kitten again. Typical crap.

Great, now if only more Minis would drop in the open world.. “collecting” them has bitter taste to it if you have to buy 90% with gems..

Players lost sight of playing for fun. It’s all about earning enough gold to cheat out the cash shop by any means necessary.

I accidentally the bridge.

inb4 no one gets it.

pdavis.8031:

I expect elder wood prices to actually rise with the start of the tournament. Elder wood is used to upgrade siege blueprints to superior. So while there is a huge influx now, much of that is going to be used up with the tournament, and prices will go back up.

There is simply too much elder wood in the market right now and in the near future to overcome the small demand for siege blueprints.

Unless anet works on a new sink for elder logs, I do not see it going up anytime soon.

I remember being so excited for EotM when it was announced. A format that would have the good elements of WvW, without the endless grind of ppt and coverage wars. Something you could actually sit down and play for the fights and the score like alliance battles in GW1. Try to win and use your brain a bit, but mostly fight players.

Kinda sad how poorly basically everything was executed, and how it’s become an awful cesspool of all the stereotypical MMO player behavior. Also keep in mind that this whole concept was dreamed up when there were lengthy queues on all maps in T1 much of the day, the next few tiers during NA, and most servers during reset night. EotM was supposed to be an overflow for WvW queues. Anet has does such a bang up job neglecting WvW that the original problem no longer exist.

So… Since Countess Anise has a bigger role now and hopefully it will stay that way, can we have her armor please? It’s much, much prettier than all the armor and outfits in the gemstore. -.- I’d prefer it as light armor though, I don’t want brute warriors to dress in such piece of art, they don’t deserve it.

I know that Gem Store shouldn’t offer anything which would give somebody an advantage in the game, but i think more players would like to see more different “Cosmetic” mounts like broom.But it could be actual mounts like bear, dolyak, tiger, moa.
Same as broom they wouldnt have any bonuses like increased speed or anything, just for the looks, and the clipping issues should be fixed aswell.
For example with the broom, on uneven surfaces the broom’s bottom part goes trough the ground instead of “flying” above it.
Just a thought.

Asmodeus.5782:

As I mentioned in my thread on the topic, it would be great to have the number of needed kick votes increased to 3, to minimize griefing resulting from this change. Personally I always started my own dungeon parties to avoid kick-happy couples. Now there’s nothing to kep me safe. 2 votes have always been a bad idea, anyway. Not even a majority.

I would also like to see the ability to vote ‘no’ on a kick. several times I’ve had someone suggest a kick, and everyone asks “why?” then the option to kick just sits there, able to be accidentally clicked during a boss fight.

Zaxares.5419:

Traditionally WXP points have always been reset with the start of a new tournament. I don’t think this will be any different this time around.

Aye. World Ability Points will be reset at the start of the Fall Tournament.

For those of us that either do not want to redo our entire wxp point distribution or (in my case) we have enough points that we can just buy the new traitlines flat out. I don’t want to go through all my characters and mindlessly click through to re-spend my points. Eventually, i would expect this to be more required because of the higher wxp gain to new trait ratio…

Wonderly.1324:

Please decrease the rate. I sold all I had back in the day to scrap up 100g to buy it the first time around. I like that it’s a rare and special treasure.

…

Like a lot of people in the forum I don’t want to run FotM just to get the Mist Stone needed to make the ascended back piece. I hate FotM so much I will probably skip this step. While I’ve been loving the scavenger hunt quality of this back piece, for a lot of the reasons other people have mentioned, I was disappointed with requirement.

But you know something? I’ll live. If it was just the back piece, I’d still care, but I’d get over it.

However, the real issue, in my opinion, is the bonus of Mawdrey II you get from crafting the back piece. Mawdrey II is a plant that eats your Bloodstone Dust – you know, all the pink stuff filling up your bank – and gives you stuff in return. For 50 piles of dust it returns random loot. While it seems to mostly give back greens and harvest mats, some people are already saying they’re getting rares from it.

This is the equivalent of giving the back piece people their own personal vendor. People have been clamoring for better uses of Bloodstone dust (I have over 100 bricks in my bank.), and this is ArenaNet’s solution??

That kitten’s not fair. It’s not fair to people who don’t want to do FotM. It’s not fair to people who don’t have an interest in making the back piece. It’s not fair to people who PvP. It’s so not fair, I’m surprised, no one else seems to have mentioned it. Most things people complain about not being fair in GW2 are vanity issues, but this is a whole different category of unfairness.

In my opinion, there should be a Bloodstone vendor, but if ArenaNet insists on not creating a vendor, then make the Mawdrey plant a reward for completing the storyline. Everyone should be able to complete the story.

TLDR: The ability to trade in your Bloodstone dust for loot shouldn’t be made available only to those who finish the back piece, it should be available to everyone.

This isn’t the first time I’ve felt the way that I do about a game.

GW2 has been competitive with some of the very best subscription-based MMOs out there despite costing significantly less with just their one time payment, which is why I didn’t have as high of expectations. I knew this entire time that a game like this without a subscription fee had to have a catch, especially since its cash shop didn’t even require use of real life money and was only optional.

I figured out over time that the catch was that bugs/popular methods of exploiting would never be fixed unless they were directly tied to living story updates, there would be tons of emphasis on making the game as casual-friendly as possible to make sure that they’d always have new players to profit off of.

I did not anticipate ArenaNet to be so heavily focused on forcing “e-sports” into this game. There is virtually no concern over how balance updates in their PvP portion of the game impact anything in PvE or WvW. I have progressively watched them nerf damage into the ground without making changes to mechanics of bosses or compensating by lowering health pools of any mobs at all. New bugs have been introduced to dungeons without old ones being fixed. Popular world bosses like Tequatl went on with terrible bugs for months before finally being fixed.

As well as the above, there are so many things in this game with meaningless rewards. The fact that over 90% of the items you get are considered ‘salvage-trash’ is pretty sad. Champion bags contain the same dull loot that you get from everything else. Ascended drops from FotM are worth less than rares, since you can’t salvage or sell them and are forced to vendor them.

There’s a lot of people that don’t care about these things at all, but there’s also a lot of people that do. As a PvE player, there’s not a whole lot for me to do. I don’t like this game’s PvP because it makes me feel like a child in a playpen with this awful announcer voice, generic red vs. blue conquest in a restricted pen with equal armor attributes and no consequences at all for losing. To me it’s boring, and I don’t want to take part of it. Because of it, I’m left to mindnumbingly repeat the same things that I have been for such a long time.

There’s been Living Story releases, but the second season isn’t keeping me interested for longer than a few hours on the first day it’s released. There’s no way that it could because it’s designed so that anyone can get it done… so there’s no challenge associated with it.

I’m not mindlessly ranting about how much I hate the game because I don’t. I’m just disappointed to see that once again, they’re nerfing damage, forcing their game to be as casual-friendly as possible yet trying to force e-sports into it at the same time (doesn’t even make sense to me how they think it’s ever going to work), ignoring dungeons and loads of bugs/exploits that have been around for longer than a year, and not introducing any content with meaningful rewards or content to challenge anybody besides newcomers.

I understand why, but it doesn’t mean that I like the way things are.

All of these things on my mind coupled with the fact that Google has now bought out Twitch and make it impossible to stream with music make me sad. I have lost all motivation to play and it’s inevitable that I will not remain an active GW2 player for very much longer.

This situation that I’m in reminds me of what happened with another game that I once loved and was part of for many years, Runescape. It was ultimately destroyed and despite how much I hated everything that was happening to it, I stuck around because it’s tough to get yourself to leave something that becomes so routine especially when you’ve been a part of it for so long. Eventually when my nostalgia was ruined I was able to fully abandon it and move on.

It looks like it’s happening to me here, again. :/

Sorry in advance to those of you that get uptight when people vent about the things they don’t like on the forums.
