Chestfarm wasn't the cause..it was the action

Ok so what to do now.
All of us know that chestfarm was totally abused. No discussion about that.
But is the nerf really the solution ?

I have the same thought on that like the devs.
People came here to get chests and ignored the map and the game play.
“The purpose of the map is to defeat the 5 underground and not chestfarm”

And as soon as i was thinking that it hit me.
If you take this away the place turns into a Ghost Town and the 5 underground bosses will never ever defeated again anyways.
Mindless slaughtering of stuff without any reward is not cutting it,
so the problem must be somewhere else.

And it is obvious.
The game itself is not rewarding regarding to loot.
As soon as a slight chance of loot is popping up people will crazy farm it.
GW2 is just to repeating and numbing that people switch to looting instead of
really playing the game.

Problem is….. there is no solution because low loot is part of A-Nets plan to keep the game running through the Gem Store.
Somehow we are in a downward spiral.

Any thoughts ?

I find it rather useful.
I can get a swift and easy Daily Gatherer by using the stone and then at once get back to the exact same place where I used it. Quite useful I would say.

Twister in a jar destroying jewelry market

The possible outputs will be limited to jewelry that can be dropped not crafted.

Salvaged jewels/gems from these could have an interesting knock on effect for the rest of the jewelry market.

This problem has really spun out of control.

This pun was the highlight of the thread for me.

Edit Correction on possible outputs.

If you want a refund then you have to request it by submitting a ticket through the Support button at the top of the page.

However I highly recommend you calm down and not be so rude in the ticket if you want it resolving as this overly-flamboyant and dramatic way of expressing your concern won’t resolve anything.

Best of luck though.

You can travel to your character’s native home from anywhere in the world and back again (or exit the door to your home city), use the vendor to sell off junk, harvest nodes for your dailies, charge quartz with the shard if you have it. 100 gems cheaper than the perma-passes and available right now as opposed to returning occasionally (and it went on sale too at nearly 50% off).

Pretty sweet when I want to get home from far out in the world.

My home instance has candy corn, sprockets and quartz to farm and yeah…I broke down and bought the other nodes too (for no real reason except why not).

The use of the Home portal stone was very clear, if you don’t think it’s worth it then why buy it in the first place?

There are things to do in the home instance for thsoe that have gathering nodes in their home instance.

Why buy something of which the purpose is very clear and then complain that you don’t like it? If you didn’t like it, you shouldn’t ahve bought it.

You can leave your home instance by it’s main entrance to get to your home city. Also, there are multiple account upgrades (namely harvesting nodes) that you can get for your home instance. There are also several merchants in most home instances where you can sell junk and purchase salvage kits. I fail to see how this isn’t helpful.

Log-r-tron, glint's mask in the gemstore

Glad the blue mask was finally released. Looking forward to a purple one now.

Lookin’ good.

(I also noticed you have “Glint’s Glazing Mask” written everywhere, even on your youtube video title, but it is “Glint’s Gaze Mask”. Gaze, not glazing. Just pointing it out. Now I really want some donuts.)

GW1 Scar and Tatoo armor as either Outfits or Armor Skins

Also:

Yes please.

My wishlist:

Angelic Wings back skin
Demonic Wings back skin
Dyeable Weapons (GW1 could do it – so should GW2!)
Ability to wear individual ‘outfit’ pieces so we can mix-n-match skins to create a truly unique look (I for one want to wear the starter guardian shoulders with the top of the raiment of the lich outfit, with radiant gloves, draconic legs and heritage boots, but I am limited to just wearing the ENTIRE lich outfit, or the entire outfit minus the helmet >_< I want to mix-n-match!!!)
Race Change item
Legendary/Special effects dyes (glow/sparkle/metallic/transparent etc.)
Mini Me (creates an identical miniature of your character)
More GW1 weapon and armor skins
Bring back the Dragon Bone Staff skin
Branded armor skin (the armor those branded human and branded charr wear)
Guild Capes (got to represent!)
Armor skins of the 6 gods (especially the 3-faced helmet that the avatar of lyssa wears)
Abaddon/margonite themed armor (would LOVE a helmet that has those 6 glowing purple eyes that Abaddon has. OMG I would literally die from excitement)
Replace the current tormented shield skin (which is really small and insignificant) with the GW1 version – it looked SOOOOO much better

Well that kinda sums it up. But I would love all awesome weapon skins from GW1 back, in HD form.
I will spent my money on those items if they are done well.

Dear Anet,

I see a lot of negative posts in the forums and I just thought maybe Id take the time to let you guys know how much I appreciate this game and the work you put into it. Its a lot of fun and I met the love of my life on here. (you guys totally gots the hookupsss :P)

But seriously, I love this game. I have been playing since the betas to present. When I think about it and how far its come, I still get that new game excitement when you guys release content. I am thoroughly impressed with this game everyday.

I know there is a lot of criticism about things you do (and dont do) but youve done a great job with this game, and you deserve a little thank you now and again.

So thank you Anet. I hope to be playing this for years and years to come! See you in Tyria!

Sincerely,
Renoria Blackheart

They let the skritt handle the prizes.. Right now, all anet employees are chasing all the skritt that took off with one skin each.

Actually, a video of that chase would be the real prize :D

Ashandar, I had to dig up my password just so I could tell you how much your post made me laugh. It is a gray, cold, afternoon in my neck of the woods here in Central Texas, so the laugh was greatly appreciated…and you are correct, that video would be a keeper.

And gee, I too am wondering where are our precious Halloween skins got off to.

As someone said above, I pray to the Spirits of the Wild, and to the Six Gods, that our raffle tickets were not deleted by accident :(

Not that I expect to win anything as I only gave the Skritt a small pawful of tickets..but still…

Lisa-Off to the game.

Editing this to say my fingers are crossed for the Rifle.

I hope something does come of him! Though on Points of Interest Bobby Stein (I think) said he basically put that conversation in as filler to give some payoff to the long walk to the kitchen. He saw the two NPC’s, thought it looked like they were having an argument, and as he’d done stuff on Mawdrey he wrote that chat simply to have fun with it.

Of course that could have been the seed but they can still actually do more now that people have begun to sink their teeth into the ramifications. And he could have been holding back on expanded plans based on it, too … he did look quite smug in that PoI.

but once its unlocked the achievement is unlocked for all. its not like every charater has to do every challenge achievement.

Nothing says you have to do all the challenges with every character.

This is exactly like the personaly story. you can’t say oh i have played the claw island section on my other characters i should be able to just jump to the final battle. That is what the OP is asking for. to be able to jump to any part of any chapter.

most likely so they can just pick up the rewards at the end.

You are misundestanding. Ill give an example. My main is a necro so i do the Living story on my necro to unlock the achieves etc. Then i decide i would rather do my achieves with my warrior or another class. But before i can do that I have to do a full run through with the warrior or whatever class i want to use for achieves before i can attempt them. The op is simply asking for achieves to be doable on any character on the first play through but only after they have been unlocked in the hero panel.

Because of this issue ive started just doing everything on my necro which is kind of boring. Id like to get my achieves while also completing the LS on alts at the same time.

Do you understand now?

The rewards that come from doing the LS are usually pretty good so I don’t think it’s that big a deal to have to do the story over again to get the achievements. My only issue is listing and waiting for all of the dialog each time you do an episode. If we could skip that somehow I would be happier.

I’d rather the achievements were available to be achieved the first time through. If repeats are necessary for conflicting achievements (set all traps/don’t set any traps), let me use any of my characters, not just the one that’s already been there and done that. That’s taking what should be fun and turning it into annoyance.

Enough with the unlocks on everything.

(technically, even though we can jump from anywhere on the map to a waypoint we are really going from one waypoint to another, even if you aren’t near one, that is the concept, consider them as mini-Asura gates).

Although it’s not confirmed anywhere, I believe that waypoints work this way. Only reason you don’t have to reach a waypoint to use it is to save time for the players, but I believe lore-wise what happens is you run to a waypoint before traveling to a different one.

This is definitely what happens the few times NPCs use them. They run to the nearest waypoint and then disappear.

Perhaps she wanted that… Caithe is supposed to have a secret, one that Scarlet (who was hearing Mordremoth in her head) knew about. Maybe she wanted to give away our position? Who knows.

I know the secret!. Caithe was secretly in love with Rytlock. But Logan was secretly in love with her. Caithe decided to break the racial taboo and try it on with Rytlock. Only for Rytlock to knock her back. Caithe cried her plant eyes out on Logan shoulders, who then made his move. Rytlock realised his mistake and found he did have feelings for her, went over to Caithe. Only to see Caithe and Logan getting all lovey-dovey. Rytlock temper got the best of him, threatened Logan. Who went all chicken and went running to Jenna (who he was two timing with). Rytlock then went to Caithe, only to find out that Caithe is pregnant with Mordemoths baby. Rytlock went suicidal and jumped in to the mists.

What you’ve just done is proven intelligence on the part of the Mordrem…yes, intelligence. They would have to be intelligent creatures(minions) to know what a signal flare was and the significance of it at the same time…which is something we really haven’t seen to much of from mobs. Think about if before you respond…and remember, there is no waypoint out in the farthest reaches of the Silverwastes(technically, even though we can jump from anywhere on the map to a waypoint we are really going from one waypoint to another, even if you aren’t near one, that is the concept, consider them as mini-Asura gates).

Well, shucks, you guys, why didn’t we just waypoint out of there? We got these wonderful waypoint things that are so great we don’t mounts — so why would we need choppers? Or ships at sea. Or anything else! It’s silly.

Also: we’ve got super laser beam thingees that can slice chunks off elder dragons — and choppers and submarines. How do they communicate in the field (or at sea)?

How come nobody has invented a radio?
