This is allowed behavior; as it was designed to function that way.

Leaving your character afk for extended periods of time and letting the AI rack up kills for you is allowed? Good to know.

Honestly I don’t think it something that Anet wants.
It’s just something that is impossible to enforce.

After all enforcing a rule against that behavior would basically mean that rangers are not allowed to afk while everyone else can.

The game has ways of logging your activity, and my guess is the GMs/Support can review those logs. So if all they see for 4 hours is “healhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealhealetc” then they know you werent legitimately playing the game.

When they launched HoT they hit 7 million players, lets say a fraction of them are playing at all times, maybe…. 100k to be fair. Consider the fact that they had pulled the Legendary team from working on the future release on any more legendaries, because they needed their man power elsewhere… now how many of those, or the whole dev team in general do you think are sitting in front of their monitor’s looking at 100k logs per day to see an inconsistency…

Not 7 million players. 7 million accounts since launch 3 and a half years ago. That includes all the accounts that have stopped playing since the start of the game and all the multiple accounts per player.

Thus the reason I said a fraction, lets assume it’s even 10k, I stand by my previous post. They pull devs from a specific team to accomplish a specific task, a very risky but necessary move as Mike O’Brien has in so many words demonstrated. With this, I doubt they have a team dedicated to looking over a monitor(s) for hrs on a regular basis. Consider they receive most “inconsistencies” from the player base through the report system, Michael Henninger – Game Support Lead in short said this is working as intended, which is clearly an exploit in-itself An oversight, and the reason I would hope he would elaborate, so the people who read this and spread it around don’t take it to heart and do what I have already seen a major increase in, and that of course is afk rangabotting.

I don’t doubt this topic has been brought up before (in regards to Howler that is), However as of recently I have had a guild member obtain a Kaiser Warhorn. With that in mind the SAB Blue, Toad King, Storm Wizard, and now Kaiser warhorn blow the howler out of the water! All I ask is can we get the Howler Volume bumped up a bit? I am not at all saying that the SAB warhorns are bad in the slightest, but wish that the legendary warhorn wasn’t so barely noticeable.

Everyone’s opinions are welcome, feel free to drop your own, and have a great day!

Why? You get plenty of Chak Eggs for doing the meta

I think so far you all have this thread completely backwards. OP is simply suggesting a way for you to trade chak eggs for ley crystals. It’s not a bad idea, I guess, more ley crystals = more chak acid for loot? Better than just holding on to them forever.

THIS +1!! lol i dont need any more eggs, sry for how this thread may have lookked advertised.

Just as my previous post this would be much appreciated 1 chak egg exchanged for 25-50 Ley-Line Crystals.

Please add this I dont know … maybe 25-50 ley-line crystals?… Support this thread, let’s let the devs know this would be appreciated!

wait so it trash bc it doesnt heal alot? I pretty much use the new blood reckoning without exceptions now.

But not for heal reasons – for dps. it does refresh your cd on the burst skill meaning i can pop this skill every 20s for an additional 20k dmg.

Before the update it was useless as the 25% crit chance were worthless as you hit 100% anyways.

That’s a terrible way to judge the skill it’s good because “I” have 100% crit… If that’s the case “I” notice a DPS loss if “I” go that heavy into precision.

every meta warrior in every way shape or form currently hits 100% crit chance, as thats the only way you get max dps possible. (except for the condi war obviously)

So not ever were the 25% crit chance on blood reckoning worth anything.

I dont think you get my point, but sure whatever you say man.

Lol Despair, at first the character slot sale paired with a new character layout idea had me asking myself “is he trolling me”? But honestly you are so right! I think it would be a nice sale, and QoL update that I for sure can use, and as far as I read on this thread would not be an unwanted QoL update.

These ideas so far have me anxious for something new, sure when I have to step away and come back just to see my character standing there with some epic music is nice, but is not much of a wow factor. Yes I am dying for a character self-arrangement layout, but its not a bad idea to spruce it up a bit more, since that is the first thing people see when they log in.

Please understand that this does NOT apply to everyone.

I have been playing this game religiously since beta, and over the years have accumulated several character slots, and each are used to do specific things. For example: Dungeons,Fractal’s,Farming,Adventures,World exploration, and so on. I would LOVE to see a character slot work-around, where 5 will be fit and maybe you can press a down arrow for the next five or up arrow to go the previous five and so on. Having them all in one straight line gets me confused as to who I used, have not, or sometimes I get flustered looking for the character I want to get on.

This is my opinion on it, and feel free to drop you’re own ideas if you have any, agree with mine, or disagree with me all you want.

Gg,Gl,and HF!

Finally a Warrior heal skill that is useful!! Oh wait… the update killed it… trash heal skill, barely heals me in the slightest… It was fine where it was please fix this…

Yes, yes the other heal skills are fine, but this was a nice touch… before the update, cannot see it being used now for anything.

Yes becouse your old character was the one who learned to make that wooden sword and was at the forge getting his/her skill up.

It totaly breaks immersion that you dont have to go find someone for instance your old character or someone else who done the crafting on your brand new character.

I wouldn’t mind an option at character creation to copy a character’s crafting professions and then if you hit yes, you get a drop down menu of your characters. That way those who care about immersion get to have their immersion, but those that don’t care about immersion get to have the convenience of switching crafting mains.

Reasonable.

clearly missing the “solution” here.

Honestly my biggest grind is the recipe’s, I would love to have them all unlocked for once, rather than bouncing alt to alt to see who has what. Unlocking the crafting professions is nice for sure, I have all mastered on several characters and does not effect me, but the point is… I and many others would like to simply change race, however I see why that can be problematic for them (Anet) to implement with the story and all, and dumping out hundreds of gold to find the recipe’s you unlocked, or crafting back to 4-500 is a dreadful thought. And yes you CAN park your character at a different location, but that kind of defeats the purpose of making the new character your main… Maybe its my completionist/OCD side of things, but I cant really consider the character i’m on to be my main when clearly another has months/years worth of effort slapped into him. Also when my only option as well as others in the same boat, would be to dump out hundreds of gold to catch up. Again the recipe’s is the BIGGEST issue here for me, but crafting professions is not to far off.

Thanks for asking. To change the race in the Gem store will not be an option in Guild Wars 2.

…but that’s not what im asking…

Sorry saw part in you thread where you say desperately want to change race. Then I did not read the rest very careful because we get race change thread about one time a week. My fault.

lol, no problem, and agreed I see that thread all to often. This is something that technically requires you starting a new character, withought the loss of everything you have been through on your main that was out for a limited time, or hundreds of gold on crafting simply because your tired of playing a ~insert race here~ since however long you have been playing that race.

…but that’s not what im asking…

So I know A lot of us want to go from Human to Charr,Asura,Norn or mix it how you please. For me and many others out there the BIGGEST issue is NOT world exploration, or the name, but the recipe’s that you have unlocked, and most importantly the Crafting Profession’s that you have mastered or leveled. I know this sounds like to much, me and some other’s are asking for by pitching this idea, but unlocking account wide recipe’s and account-wide crafting, would make race changing all that much understandable. I desperately want to change race for example, but don’t want to go and re-learn the recipe’s I have learned on my main since forever. I have close to 7k hrs spent in the game, and don’t see how this can be bad, and will make spending a few gems on a character slot much easier to stand by, than rather ask yourself "do I really want to race change and go from hundreds of recipe’s I unlocked, especially those that were out for a limited time…. to nothing let alone re-mastering all those crafting professions? Friends of mine and many other’s I have talked to over the time all agree that though world exploration is boring it would NOT make as much of an impact on starting a new main on a different race, as redoing crafting and re-learning all the recipe’s would.

Tl;dr
Account Wide:
Crafting & Recipes = Easy to stand by race changing choices.

I would like to know everyone’s opinions on this if you agree, great, if not… understandable to have mixed opinions on it, but for me and many others out there, this is what stops of from second guessing race change main swap.

These pics are great lol, Feel free to post mopre people *Remember to hide all names though as it would be considered “blame and shame” *. These pics are done well

Those aren’t my screenshots. I saved them to my computer. They were posted on the botter’s public forums* by one of the players botting the jumping puzzle.

*Public forums meaning no registration is required to read them.

Speaking of which, 1 of the botters posted this on their forums:

So I added another botter as a friend to check their AP out of curiosity, but the list showed them offline. This means one of two things: they either blocked me or reported me. Considering that I never spoke to them or gave any indication that I was at the computer, I assume they didn’t block, but reported me instead.

I started checking to see if I was being reported by every fellow botter I saw. At least half are reporting me, which means they’re probably reporting you, too. It’s probably safer if the botting program didn’t put you under the starting area so that others would know for sure that you’re botting.

It’s disgusting to think that the main source of ban reports that ArenaNet reviews comes from our own ******* community.

Sounds like the botters are turning on each other. LOL

Note the bolded part in the quote. I’m curious as to how they would know who is reporting them or even if they were reported.

Wow……. lmao! Good, serves them right those bot cheating low life pleb scums! Cant wait to see forum post like "Banned for no “Reason” I will for once be overwhelmingly joyful to see another ban wave. For those botting that are reading this, you are not safe, FT2Bot most likely will still lead to your main account, that gold goes somewhere and they will find out! *laughs maniacally * “Muahahahahaha”!

Well, the easiest way to spot a teleporter would probably to see one at the end chest but with a score of 0. Physically impossible to get to the chest without getting a point unless you cheat.

No that does not work, I have already observed one of them not showing up at the ending chest at all, probably the location/port script was edited so that they not just pop up next to the chest like one video on youtube shows, but also port under the chest were they are not spotted right away, just like they are hiding under the fire to try to avoid being seen.

This exactly. I’ve waited at the end to see if the ones I saw hiding in the snowman platform showed up at the end. Although their bar in the player list went black, they never appeared at the chest. Then their bar would turn red again, indicating they were back at the beginning.

Now my concern is that, since I don’t actually see them appear at the end, will I get in trouble for reporting them? I’ve reported at least half a dozen that I’ve seen hiding in the platform. Is that enough to prove they’re using bots?

If you get in trouble for reporting people that can easily be traced to have had botting programs at one point, then I call total bs. So no I doubt you or anyone else constantly reporting bots would be a disservice.

CaelestiaEmpyrea.2617:

If you enter PVP you lose any utility/food buffs on that character. This is how the game is supposed to work (not a bug). When you exit PVP, you have to re-use the food/utility item.

If it’s removing the Primer buffs as well, or you are not entering PVP, that is a bug.

Yep on that specific character I have not bothered with pvp, and have even been to paranoid about entering wvw (discovered the buff/booster removal way back when the candy corn gobbler was a thing). I recently started using these and loosing them before they ran out. Best example I have is roughly soon after first posting this I had used both a metabolic and utility primer on a new thief who I am strictly using for world exploration the timers have lasted nearly their whole lifespan (surprisingly enough) but on the last hour I relogged and noticed my food/utility consumables were gone, but still had that hour left on the primers. So far what I am noticing is a very on/off glitchy/bugged item that cost an arm and a leg, and should seriously be looked at. I would 100% understand it getting rid of any consumables if you entered pvp/wvw and either froze the primers timer or kept it going (so long it doesn’t get rid of them), but it doesn’t seem to be the issue.

TL;DR
Pvp/Wvw removing the primers/consumables is not my issue, unfortunately.

harold.3526:

Submit a suport ticket and they will probably give you the Metabolics back

Yea I really should, one of those I dont even know how to begin type of situations, here I felt I can lay out the problem and see if anyone else has experienced this. Thank you very much for your input, and will be submitting one in just a few. Best of luck out there!

Sooo I bout a 25 pack of both of these a loooong while ago, because I got random Gem Cards and had no use for them. After Finally giving in I have used roughly 5 of these in about 20-30 Hrs on a SINGLE character, because they suddenly are no longer on me after relogging. The first time this happened I had assumed that I misread how much time was on it but could have sworn it said 7 hrs remaining, 2 and 3rd I gave it he benefit of the doubt as well, but 4rth and 5th I call total crap after feeling like I got jipped I MADE SURE to check the time it said 6 hrs 52 mins remaining. relogged in and they were gone. PLEASE look into this as its a VERY pricey item and would HIGHLY recomend to anyone, NOT to buy these until their are patch notes specifically indicating a fix to these. Also would like to add that it frequently will consume… your consumables and keep the utility/metabolic porimers timer still going… I would LOVE to see this fixed, and if possible a refund/ or refunded items.

TL;DR
Both Utility/Metabolic Primers will from time to time suddenly de-activate with hrs left remaining, or eat your consumables for no reason
(during relogging).

So that’s what it looks like inside the JP.
How did you get in?

Divinity’s reach good sir all the mini holiday games are available there.

Zaxares.5419:

It will not give you a second node, no. I can’t confirm this, but I believe that if you try, it will give you the message “You already have that content unlocked”. Sell it on the TP.

Congrats on unlocking everything for your Home Instance, btw. I have mine fully decked out too, and it’s quite a nice little money maker harvesting everything in it every day.

Thank you very much for the info, and agreed it is very nice to have these things available thx again and gl!

So I had bout these because I saw someone run upto me and use them and thought “wow that was pretty cool” Well the Mining one 1 and 2 strike are normal speed, however the 3rd strike takes almost 3 times as long to finish it is almost worth getting the first 2 stopping and re-using, same can be said for logging. As for the Harvesting one compared to every other harvesting tool it also takes sooooooooooo long to harvest the node, and again it picks up the item relatively quick, but hangs on going a bit longer for absolutely no reason at all, and can be frustrating when you can gather more than 1 item from the same node, please make all tools just as fast as any other considering these are not the only ones out there that have randomly longer times gathering.

If you are good at JP’s its easy money making method as you can get roughly 20 gold for every 30-45 mins played. If you are not good at JP’s no biggy just practice over and over sure their will be frustration but you have some time to learn and since it resets you to the start if you fail its not that much of a headache. It helps you getting use to JP’s with HIGH initiatives/profits/ w/e you want to call it at the cost of 1-3 mins per jp. Goodluck everyone!

My Record is 17.

ALSO it would be nice to join in with friends, which they totally dropped the bomb on.

So I have a question, I had finally unlocked everything there is for my home instance (that hurt my coin count), however… I had gotten a random Black Lion Key drop for me the other day, to my surprise I got a Lotus Harvesting Node which I already have but says I can use it again. I have not actually clicked use, because i’m afraid it will use it withought it either giving me another node in my home instance, or it disappearing.

My question is, if I use it will it give me a second node? Can I use it at all? Or is my only option to sell it? tyvm for your time.

+1 hands down, would be amazing!

OMG pew pew pew Plop head blew up
Song is so epic, like your going to some crazy super uber journey and for ONCE makes me appreciate my characters stance in the story, heres hoping the story does as good of a job!

I can see a pumpkin mail carrier being made “easily enough” as it could share the usage animations of the gift mail carrier, and there’s probably already an exploding pumpkin animation of some sort for when it lands.

Anet… If this was a mail carrier… I would love you SOOOOO dang much the attachment says it all… no… i’m not joking.

So with the upcoming Expansion to HoT we should all kinda be aware that they are implementing Legendary armor, and as was mentioned each piece of armor is the average price of 1/6 a legendary weapon as they stand now. Some may argue that 1/6 the price is to low, some say its just right, my opinion falls in the middle. to me it’s more of an I cant argue with it type of deal. However I would LOVE to see them do something that would be an excellent ad-don to legendary armor… think of the wardrobe system, but instead of changing the skin you have a choice at changing the rune out to another desired rune of your choice, so long you have unlocked it for said 1 of 6 pieces of armor. I know some people may disagree with this, but I don’t know about you guys, when i switch out stats (or different ascended armor) it usually has a whole new set of runes to fit the build required for the stat change. I can see them adding this by doing something similar to what it takes to make legendary weapons now, not by obtaining a gift of fortune, but maybe a adaptable rune tablet for example. It may be made with the completion of raids, killing every world boss, finishing every dungeon, or by finishing a fractal 100. I’m sure their are hundreds of ways this can be achieved, but i digress. Please feel free to mention any ideas you guys may have, whether you disagree/agree/ and why. Good luck out there everyone!

Tldr; Adding a rune wardrobe type system to legendary armor.

Tongku.5326:

Crafting Juggernaut is one of the factors which caused me to take a very long break from the game and almost made me quit it entirely. Specifically, 32 hours spent throwing pebbles at mystic toilet. I do not understand how this is supposed to be non-grindy, fun, adventurous or challenging. The silver doubloon market at the time would have required me to spend roughly 4-5k gold just on them as it was swinging wildly, don’t know what it is now. The lowbie chest drop rates are an outright idiotic joke making it not applicable.

I made a mistake of getting the other components 1st so there was no turning back, overall, crafting my legendary still IS to this day the absolute worst, grindy, horrible, and idiotic experience I have had in any MMORPG and I have played them for a very, very long time since UO and original EQ and have played the vast majority of major MMORPGs released since those times. Seriously, I have never before experienced anything as stupid as this in any of these types of games.

In fact, it is so bad that the thought of crafting another one or even getting partial map completion to get 175 hero points to unlock the new upcoming specs makes me wanna puke and hence not even purchase the expansion.

These aspects of the game literally disgust me.

Wow… You sir… need a pretty large sum of the “get good kid” medicine… getting legendaries again is NOT easy, but you flat out make it seem like its a task made out to be unobtainable… I would rather have something that is hard to get by either challenge or grind, than being offered by the staples “easy” button that at the push of the button itself anet would send you an apology letter, completing the game for you, and the legendary of your choice. I get it, not many people like the grind, and would rather have a strict 1 and done type of challenge, maybe HoT has that answer maybe not, but the games legendary layout has been here since forever. You should question your patience, and question people who have them, if the grind is NOT what you like their are always ascended weapons.

Tanith.5264:

They key, I’ve found, is patience.

You couldn’t be more right, best of luck! you’ll get there!

This Pic Zaron… THIS PIC ZARON! is so epic (>*^_^*)>

Making Legendaries is tedious and at times can be extremely boring, but very achievable. I have met, and encountered many friends, or rando’s that go about taking long “breaks” (essentially quitting for months on in) just to come back and wonder how they still don’t have one after working “hard” on one for a week or 2… I have most legendaries, and working on finishing the rest, the HARDEST part on getting them is world exploration as I currently have like 6-8 100%er’s. Reaching your goal is as many on here have put it… SOLELY depends on your participation, will, and eagerness to getting the one(s) you want. I work Full time as a truck driver essentially living from work mon-fri.(for now… muahaha..) so its not that I NEVER get off gw2, but find myself on as much as I possibly can. Tips are Dungeons,Fractal’s, Silverwastes or any major farm that is currently the “meta” as champ trains use to be the big thing (still some going about it now), all while working the tp. Any time you find down time during these dungeons fractal’s etc. * Never * make the tp your #1 priority as this can get ultra frustrating and at times, gambles (that don’t pay off) or waiting on orders simply to be over/undercut can make you want to rip your hair out, instead treat it as a pass-time activity. Of course there are many other gold making methods that are used, but these will at the very least keep a constant flow of gold coming your way. If you want Kudzu, as I mention to many others in-game (on which ever legendary they’re working on) you can achieve it, you will complete it, and its pretty darn rewarding knowing you made it. (buying from the tp imho is kinda lame). I wish you and any others regardless of reading this post or not the best of luck!! (As a wise man once said …. DO IT!!… JUST……..JUST….. DO IT!) shia labeouf’s epic speech
Sorry for any mispellings as im currently at work and my hotspot is acting up >< (slows my pc to Bleh mode, & spellcheck wont even pop up at times). GG,GL,&HF!

Tldr: Making legendaries is achievable if you put the effort in it, possible tips.

I must admit the winners are a bit too cute, even the sword in the dragon head. I hope these are not the only emblems Arena Net are adding but are making some themselves to go with HoT.

I have to admit, it never hit me to think that they might be adding some themselves. Here is hoping they do and that the winners are just a select few of many they are adding… one can hope at least… or many of us, so it seems lol.

Sometimes it is a little difficult to tell when it is indeed night time and I have a set of night sigil weapons to swap for occasions like that. I’m sure there are also wvw duelists out there that would also appreciate more dps in their builds.

I’m also not convinced that we shouldn’t have such a small QoL added to the game, in fact the new Lion’s Arch requires a certain area to be night time in order to gain accessibility, so why not have the game tell you what the day/night cycle is?

tl;dr Add a night/day compass so we don’t have to second guess whether it is night time or day time.

Heh I didn’t even think about wvw, but yea you’re right, it would be nice for wvw or pvp just as well as pve.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Is a sun/moon symbol worth it though when there is no difference in night and day in the events around you? If nothing changes, not even the light (enough to notice) then a cosmetic symbol declaring it to be night or day is ultimately meaningless.

I don’t see how this could be meaningless… their are people out there who do dungeons regularly, and I for one know what weapons to bring for pretty much every dungeon. Lets use Caduceus Manor for example, which is a daytime dungeon maybe you bring (example: great sword) your weapon that has a sigil of air and force since it’s a daytime dungeon, where is Ascolonian Catacombs (a nighttime dungeon) you bring a secondary great sword (which a lot of people do) with superior sigil of night and force. the difference in damage could be very useful, and this can be applied all over the game not just dungeons. This moon/sun symbol could be very useful for people who are not 100% familiar with all the maps, or don’t have a night-time weapon indicator (example Ascalonian weapons, or Eternity which show you what time of day it is by the current animation).

“But Aeon you can simply wiki the map to find out what night/day time maps they are”. True, but a small moon/sun symbol that can be simply added to… for example your mini-map bar can make a world of a difference when it comes down to convenience, and simplicity.

Again, this is NOT by any means needed for everyone. However people who are new to the game, or want to get familiar with the sigils and max dps output can use this as an easy get to know the map you’re tool that can get them to the dmg output they seek.

Hey guys! I will be streaming Guild Wars 2 tomorrow 6/13/15 at 2pm central time. I will be going for 100% world exploration, or a 10 hour stream, whichever comes first. Feel free to stop by as I will be giving away in-game prizes. It can pay to just hang out!

I like this idea I know of some people that can use this.

I dont understand… if it got disabled for inappropriate animations during specific moments… why is it the female human is the only one that had it disabled… or am I not aware of any others that have been? im not implying others should be, but other races and of both female/male genders have some animations where they seem like they can care less of what the npc/story is talking about soooo why have they not been disabled?

It’s an excuse to defeminize them. That has been an ongoing theme since they butchered the running animation.

Oow oow, now somebody is going mad feeling even more in there right to remove these things.

As if that is what feminine is about. As if they have to walk like that and make such provoking gestures to be considered a female. Bad bad you it shows what the media and games has put into the minds of the people.

(Just for the record, this is not my opinion, just imagining how somebody (that would want to remove these things in the game) is reacting when reading your statement).

Whaaaaaaaat?… I simply meant I dont like having one of my lvl 80’s that I truly love planking everywhere she goes. I TRUTHFULLY dont care if they REMOVE this and add other animations instead, other than just having her brush her hair to the side. People dont seem to understand that regardless of what you may think most of us simply want our characters to be more “lively” during moments where you go afk, or when your thinking of what to do next.

And how is kicking a rock from the floor an example of making a provoking gesture that determines ones gender? If I misunderstood your post I apologise… But from what I did understand you are the absolute furthest from what I meant. Furthermore I would like if you were a little more thoughtfull next time you point fingers at someone saying hes in it for provocative gestures or that hes some type of anti-feminist ignorant pig.

I was taking about somebody reading Aeon’s reaction, envisioning what she is thinking. Not talking about Aeon’s reaction itself. So about the exact opposite of what you seem to have understand.

Somebody is thinking this way, certainly not me.

Cool well my apology that was placed in advance stands, wasnt to clear on how to take your post. I had assumed thats what you meant, but at the same time I thought you were calling me out. None the less if someone is thinking in this manner, I hope they view it from a players perspective who simply wants more immersion, and not more eye candy.

Anet has been doing things to the home instance with the inclusion of the nodes from gemstore or events. Adding mini pet ambient creatures would be nice, of course only include those that are unlocked on your account. It doesn’t even have to be all of them, just put them around the nodes/rewards you unlock that fill up your home instance. As a collector, I would love the inclusion of this mini pet farm in the home instance.

It can even be creative like, pair up marjory with belinda mini, molten fire storm with berserker, karka with the hatchlings etc. If Guild Wars 1 had it, why can’t GW2 have it, and I believe the max display of mini pets was 20. It’s a nice idea, but I’m pretty sure Anet has alot on their hands right now *POLYMOCK… cough… but you know, one can hope.

Wow… I never thought about pairing them up… this would be AMAZING !!!! Karka + hatchlings!!!! I was even thinking like Scarlet next to her holo and around them, her steam creatures. The possibilities for this could be of epic proportions!

Also as a side note this could be GREAT for new players, as it could easily give some idea (in a small way of course) to the history of Guild Wars 2 Living Story (presented by minis). Nevertheless this would be an epic addon… Dangit !!!! ANET YOUR POSSIBILITES ARE ENDLESS WITH THIS! Please look into it, I absolutely love this idea.

And as always everyone reading this please feel free to give out your thoughts on this! Goodluck and MOST importantly Have Fun!!
