After reading the last few posts, it makes me wonder what level of testing or QA an item such as that goes through in general. Seems like someone would’ve thought of this scenario. I LOL’d at killing the thief with the A-O-T chat bubble!
That is exactly what the gem store is for. You better believe that some spend a lot more than $15 a month too. What is with the sense of urgency in the forums lately? Do you guys expect an expansion for holiday release?
No, but maybe news of an expansion on the horizon would be great.
I agree I would like that as well, but I don’t understand all the hostility and complain/gripe threads and trying to force people’s hand. You must do this or I will quit playing and the like. If I were a dev I would reply with I don’t want you to play my game anyways if that is how you are going to treat me.
Just to clarify, I never once suggested in the original post “I will quit if X”. If you re-read it, I clearly explain I love this game. I just, feel my (as I am sure many others feel) interest in it wavering and anet doing really nothing about it. It is almost like anet no loner is interested in keeping me around, even though I supported GW1 from the start and continued to do so with every release they had.
I saw that in another post today the I’ll quit thing. You know what you are really preaching to the choir in a way because I have been playing as long if not longer in the GW world, and in some ways I feel the same as you do. The overall point I am trying to make is “Why all the negativity?” I mean that in a general sense to be clear.
As someone who was a GW1 veteran and invested in this gaming world for a long time, I would think that others like me would be excited the way the game is headed from a lore point of view. If you don’t like the LS and achievements that is not really Anet’s fault. Peace.

I’m a pure PvE player and I fully understand that PvP and WvW need their updates too.
All aspects of the game need updates and it’s about time something other than PvE got the focus of a patch.
Primarily a PVE player too but I like to try out WvW and PVP now and then. I do agree with you and have no problem with updates for other parts of the game to make the overall game better.
Pressing a key doesn’t seem like a lot of work to me, and certainly not gamebreaking. Chests and nodes, etc. should be “looked for” and not handed on a silver platter IMO that is part of the fun “Finding”. I don’t understand the reasoning for “the game should be doing by itself”.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding mounts in the game. It offers another way for Anet to make money (Make mounts gem store only) and doesn’t break immersion. From my game experiences, mounts have only made Role Playing even more interesting. Please just give in to our demands >:)
Yes there is something wrong, lag, clutter. Not to mention design that does NOT include mounts. Wish people would stop trying to turn this into another game.
I did made a pretty and educated post, i didn’t make a ragequit post , and I’m in no way insulting Dev, or mod.
I’ m just asking to open a discussion in a civilized way.
Something of which probably you’ re not capable, kind sir
Really?… I don’t understand the need to make things personal. This is not even worth the time spent but ok… nothing I said was negative or bashing anything… BUT how many posts do we have around here of people complaining?
I can see 2 sides of this. As a player I want to know more about plans, and solutions and such. I want to be able to plan and have an idea what is coming down the road, just like we all do. On the other hand, I think some players around here have expectations that are a bit skewed to say the least. Just because you (or I) bought the game doesn’t give us the right to be the fly on the wall so to speak in meetings or closed door discussions. I am trying not to be negative as I would want to know and hear things myself.
I do have faith in Anet and have for a long time. I haven’t always seen the best or most popular decisions made, and have been vocal about it enough to earn a vacation from the forum, but overall I think they are one of the best out there. I feel the same about the GW community as well. The most helpful, and passionate fans and players around. I love being able to PM with a dev and have that personal connection. I thank those that take the time to do so (and have for years) It’s nice to be able to share your feelings and know they are being read, even if they aren’t responded to right away or exactly the way you would want. They are being taken into consideration and it shows.
A few things I did to get started. Be sure to get harvesting tools at the merchant and hoard materials, you will be glad you did. Get a salvage kit to salvage items drops you don’t want or don’t think you will need. Just exploring will give you a lot of experience when leveling, as will heart quests. Just enjoy the scenery and wander around, you will be rewarded visually, with experience, and sometimes with a chest or node you didn’t see before. There is a lot of eye candy in this game.
Personally I like the “gun” classes Engineer and Thief the best.
Big fan of mounts, reduce the amount of WP add mounts. GW2 would have kept more players and brought new ones into the game if we had mounts.
Absolute rubbish.
Hardly, I will let the genre for the last 10years speak for itself.
Absolute and utter unwanted garbage. Stop trying to make this game into “that” game. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! But if bashing players to get this topic closed is anyones intentions just give it a few days and another will pop up. I’m not sure what game you imply? WoW, Rift, SWTOR, WS, ESO, FF, AA, Everquest, Planetside, LOTRO, Neverwinter, StarWars Galaxy, etc..
like I have mentioned, the question is no longer “can we have mounts” since they’re already in-game, the question really is how does Anet expand on that feature.
Here is another example (aside from the get rid of transmutation charges) of something that Anet would be hard pressed to find a player that wouldn’t want a change to this. “Use All” should have been on the Inventory gear selector since launch.
Chiming in again to say I saw zero toxicity in the SW maps I have played, before or after. In fact, the ones I was in the “chestfarmers” were doing the events nearby (defend, repair, supply bull) as well as harvesting nodes and farming. I know there are different experiences on different maps, and people standing around and afk (which I did not agree with) The underlying problem is the reason people feel compelled to farm in such ways and theorize how to do so, lack of loot. This may be the worst game ever in that regard.
Home of the “player in game who sees people having fun, goes to the forum to whine and cry and complain and try to get said event/farm/whatever nerfed or taken out of the game.” How dare they have fun in my game I will make sure that something is done about this immediately!
Posted this in the other thread, gonna post it here too:
Finally able to get more of the ascended mats I need, in a fun farm, that is team oriented, coordinated, doesn’t take forever, in a new map. Sucks that I have to come to the forum and see people crying about it. Just ridiculous… If you don’t like it DO SOMETHING ELSE! It is not hurting you in any way.
Failure? No. Find another map doing what you want to do if that isn’t what you want to do. Stop crying about failure and have some fun for a change.
Exactly. Finally able to get more of the ascended mats I need, in a fun farm, that is team oriented, coordinated, doesn’t take forever, in a new map.

Must be the good old RNG working against me (as usual) because I am not getting the good stuff like some posters above. I’m lucky to get 1 key for 4 hours playing I get loads of greens and blues, a lot of bloodstone dust and dragonite ore ( which I have to destroy now). After 4 hrs. play I received 3 exotics. Wish I had the luck that other players are receiving lol Please don’t nerf I feel I am already playing a nerf loot game.
please dont derail this thread, we are trying to help the community and anets game with new features to the game. Torch torch thief and rifle mes would be great to help new players learn the game better and veterans already wish to use this items on their characters.
Being a vet myself I do not see the problem with wanting tacos, ALSO. Lighten up.
I’m genuinely curious. Why are some players horrified by the idea of adding mounts to the game? (other than the lag)
Is there another reason? I don’t particularly have feeling about it in either direction. It would add something else to buy from the gem shop. That’s all I can think of.
Is there some reason mounts are just a “No”?
People come into this game, and try and turn it into that game, we don’t want it to be that game.
Heck, i dont mind gemming out the episodes, least i can do. I mean, the differences between the community here and the community where i thought the grass would be greener…are simply staggering. I’ve never seen something so toxic in my life. Just seeing two honest and informative responses to a general question is a breath of fresh air.
Hello and welcome back. Generally you will find the community here to be helpful and engaging. Like in real life though there are spoiled immature brats and trolls here and there too. Far and away though GW has been the most helpful and thoughtful community I have ever been apart of, since the the betas for GW1 years ago.
