O_O there must be a ninja nerf somewhere. mesmers always get nerfed! why break the tradition this time?! if there isn’t (portal nerf was necessary) then this just might be one of the best gifts in gw2 ever.

They got a nerf with Membran, really hurtful nerf to any tank mez.

TC come one help it, and Membane(why)

EsLafiel.4517

First TC needs some love, it are only refle we can actually place down, where we want to.
However it needs height, just a bit so it can actually be use.

Second wtf, really why the change to Membane, yes we can still tank and it not destroying the class tanking builds.

However, it is weaking it greatly and making a lot less people even try to play it.
While at the same time you make the shatter stronger.

Maybe I am wrong, but I just want a answer to.

Devs did you design the Mez to not be able to tank and so you will keep making it where it focus on dps and support or was this just a small nerf to tank.

Because as of right now it feels like you want Mez not to be tanks at all.

Why does Veil of Invisibility...

Guy above me is right, If anything it be cool if they made veil a elite and made mass inv a reg skill.

Because in the end Veil is by far more useful.

Mostly more reliable swiftness.

This made my day.

Passives stack with swiftness – 25%+33%=58%, mesmers are left behind! Let’s make swiftness more reliable, let’s buff focus (note, that nobody uses in combat)!

Sword/focus is my main weapon set. With focus I can shut down all long range so their force to melee me.

Then it easy to immb them and warden them. Then well it becomes easy as hell to win because I counter all their skills.

Plus even on class’s like theif, it pull can counter all of theifs major invisible skills.

Like the shadow area thingie. I can pull them out and make it go on cooldown.

In the end in Pvp/Pve with my build at lest, sword/focus owns greatly

Is there a mesmer bunker build?

Yes, I’ve known of multy builds for Mez, that work as bunker builds.

However I dont give out my build information, but to let you know their is bunker builds for mez.

if they added subscription AND removed gem to gold exchange… now that would be a plus

For the gold sellers yes it sure would.

for those it actually wouldn’t make a difference

I played other games with similar exchange mechanic, and they were full of gold sellers anyway. The only reason they don’t have a big presence in GW2 is that Arenanet is actually succesful at fighting them. Ever noticed that at the start you’d see spammers and get gold seller mails, but not anymore, while the demand for gold should have increased because of ascended?

Just bookmark this page, so I wont forget you. So in a years time I can come back and laugh at you.

Because gw1 had a item mall, and free update regular and paid major expansions.

So unless they magical change what they been doing since 2006, what I said will be true.

Solo class to start GW2 with?

Ps the guy that said Mes as tank build cant do much damage and so your force into a rang build.

He a Kitten(sorry but it true) don’t listen to him(I am a tank Mesmer)

I can 2 men almost any dgn, and solo tons of dgn boss’s.

Don’t understand why you felt the need to insult me over an opinion… but anyways the point I was making is that when trying to level a melee Mesmer if you invest in toughness and vitality so you can be a better melee character the damage output wasn’t there.

I’m glad you can be a great tank, I can however kill things in a third the time on my Ele – would guarantee it actually. Sitting there fighting an enemy as long as it took when I tried leveling a Mesmer is what bored me from the class.

Continue insulting me and saying what you will but the fact that investing points in a tanky build makes you take longer to kill things will remain the same. Because of that Mesmer wasn’t for me… and it’s why I feel the only viable option is Ranged.

Did not insult you, I say Kitten, not a curse word being filter…. but the actually word for baby cat.

However I was upset at the time, because others was pissing me off.

So sorry for semi taking it out on you.

It true my damage out put is not the best, however on any cd monsters are long range. I can do really high damage on.

Like on lupi I did 50k damage on him.

However, I dont care about damage that much. When I can solo any champ, and almost any dgn boss.

Help with Mesmer Focus? (PvE)

EsLafiel.4517

I have 24khp(sometimes lower/sometimes higher)
3.1k armor(a bit higher)
(2.8k damage-3.2k damage)
Healing 700(wanna get to at lest 1k, still working on it)

I change between 11 utilities depending on what I am doing, but for normal mobs defender is almost always out, he only goes off if need to focus heavly on reflex skills are on certain boss’s.

Ps you can pull and then immb guys inside the warden or instead just use it as cover. So you get about a 3sec of reflection around you.

Since a lot of long range will Ignore warden, I sometimes summon them and then leave them in random places so when they start spinning later I can roll into them for protection.

I don’t grind at all, I do like 6 jps a day(different ones) not for grinding because it fun. I do some WvW, the jp in Eb sometimes to.

I do a couple fractal runs here and their.

I do other dgns runs.

Spend from 2-5hrs a day on this game.

Not grinding at all and just playing around.

I make on ave 2g-4g a day, but on lucky days I can get 6g+.

I got full culture t3 and a tons of other stuff now and 24g on me.

So I think getting money is at a good spd, unless you wanna get like 300g+ fast. Then i guess you gotta grind, but for me I just take it easy and have fun.

You’ve been brainwashed into thinking a sub is neccesary. It’s not. The games that charge them are ripping you off.

Ever heard of EVE online ? subscription is worth it for games that have a decent company behind them…GW2 does not……EVE and CCP put GW2 to shame, and every other game on the market to be honest, they set the standard in quality.

Horrible quality. Used to play EVE as my main game. It was awesome back in the day. Been getting worse each expansion for the past 5-6 years. EVE good game garbage company. Kinda reminds me of GW2 up until 11/15 now EVE is probably even better game with less grind. At least with EVE grind you didn’t have to be online =P

Really I got all 3 piece of acs in less then 20hrs. Spending only 2hrs a day on it. How the hell is that grind??

WoW releases content patches with the amount of content as EQ2 expansions did. You pay for expansions since it’s a complete rebuild of the game, but the individual content patches, they give it to you in that price. But EQ2, LOTRO, SW:TOR, AoC, if you want those content patches, you’re paying for it, because they call that one single new instance an expansion.

I have a question, have you been Ignoring all the updates so far???

dgns been added, new maps been added and a ton of other stuff.

They about to do another major update with new stuff on the 14th.

Then in jan/feb together patches they aiming for a entire expansion worth of content.

They want to keep adding in content every month for free, and Ive made so much money ive brought over 10k gems with gold. Also full t3 culture and a lot more.

So not brought a single gem with gold and I will not. It so easy to make gold in this game.

So only the type of stuff they have in item mall right now and paid expansions. Is all they will do.

Support your view, why is mesmer OP?

in Mesmer

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

EsLafiel.4517

Mesmer is not OP, if you fail with one timing in a 1v2, may happen in 1v1 aswell, you die almost instantly, but however if your timings are correct you can crush anything, well not a 1v5 and up

Mesmer is not even that strong 1v1, it only happens when bad players get confused by the illusions.

It’s actually incredibly hard to keep any competent melee class off of you, people are realizing now it’s quite easy to keep track of the real Mesmer and just beat their face in, especially Thieves with their myriad stuns, snares and roots. It is because of this that glass cannon shatter builds are essential for Mesmers, you will never kill melee in your face unless you counter their damage with even more of your own.

Of course I have been involved in the humiliating butt kicking of up to 3 enemies before, but they’re always bad puggers. Against good players you should struggle in most 1 on 1s and a 1v2 should be unwinnable. Anything else that happens is the result of playing against bad people and has nothing to do with the Mesmer itself. Those same people would probably have lost to me if I was any other class.

I used to always think of Warrior as an easy kill, until I started going against Warrior players that competently busted out shield stance with good timing and would counter an entire shatter. Stuff like that is what you see with good players, whereas a bad Warrior would just keep trying to Hblades you and probably forget he has a second weapon to swap to.

If people just played at higher levels more often, they’d see this game is incredibly balanced.

Sorry but your wrong, I had 2 fully gear Warriors on me.

In WvW, one in Arah and one in CoF gear.

I am no where near a high damage mez(I am a tank)

I crush them both no problem, hp did not even get below half.

Why all their major skill I saw comming and use 2 on sword are f4(only shatter skill I use)

Also keep defender/warden out and right next to me, made it where they could not go long rang and had to stay up close are over 70% of their attacks would be reflex.

So force them into melee and then out melee them with no clones/invisble.

Warden 3k/bf 2k/1 500/500/800…….get my point not exactly high damage and yet I can take out multy people with no prob.
1v2 I never die, and i got a build like no one else will ever use.

Just because someone has gear doesnt mean they are skilled with their class..
Especially since in this game
Skill > gear.

Think you’re right there, I have staff lvl78 exotic, my pistol and sword are lvl80 rare, so if you are playing skillfully as I do sometimes you can beat any one, it’s not the gear that is making the kill, it’s the skill I would say. And you can not just attack if you vs a thief… you need to stun them all the time else they cloak and deal tons of damage to you, or escape, cause they know you will crush them. There’s a counter to every class, but some are harder to crush easily. I have failed a lot, but you have to fail and learn to be able to kill them next time. And think what you made wrong, this can make you win vs the next player.

And EsLafiel, if you missclick… what happens then?

not that big of deal even if they hit me with one of their major attacks.

I never been hit with anything that did over 5k to me. Even hundred blades dont do that much on me.

I just stop them from hitting me, since no reason to let them do damage to you anyway.

Ps theif is not hard, if ya time bf right then all their damage is gone if their backstab theif. (just because you cant see them, dont mean it not easy to tell when they about to attack you, and then us bf or f4 to make him wast his skills.)and if their long range just set up a reflex field.

Other then their shadow field, all other invisible don’t last long and so easy to time them. Which you can pull them out of their shadow field and make it useless.

Anyway I was talking towards the point of Saying Mesmer is force range, because their melee sucks.

When I am Melee, and I pretty much never die.

Because I don’t go for a giant serge in damage and then suck for a bit.

My damage stay the same 100% of the time at a good lvl, and so skills that are made to protect you vs high lvl damage, is useless vs me and all it does is stop normal damage from me for a couple of secs.

I am steady basically, even if I mess up I wont die.

Only people I ever have even semi problem with is people that is 100% cd build.

Help with Mesmer Focus? (PvE)

in Mesmer

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

EsLafiel.4517

I’m a sword/focus user.

However I am a tank/control build(with some support)

My phant almost always survive until their off cooldown.(really high hp and def)

Anyway for 1 you could summon it and then use tc to pull them into it.

For 2 I don’t got a problem with because it survive just fine with me.

For you in dgn through you should wait until the mobs is on someone and then summon it. If you looking for damage from it.

Plus defender phant is your friend, you not tank build so it might not work any where near as well.

However for me it last 15+ secs, with a 24 sec cooldown. So got less then 10 secs cooldown for me and it halfs everyone damage done to them.

Also works for your other phant and so they keeps them alive like crazy.

Also if traited ya phant keep regen/protection on 100% of the time(as well as you).

This may not work for you since you not tank build.

However for me I can ram a mob of 5 against a wall, and then summon a defender/bersker/warden and they never die and I get like 0 damage done on me(talking about dgn mobs even) With the reflex and so on.

Lastly the tc is fk up, it will be fix hopefully one day.

however for now I would not use it when it a life and death type of time.

Because you cant trust it.

Solo class to start GW2 with?

All class’s are design so they can do ANY role in the holy trinity.

Also they made healing into a support role.

Plus tanking into a control role.

So it Control/support/dps is the holy trinity.

The major difference is like I said any class can do any role.

As of right now the Guardian, mesmer, and warrior.

These 3 can do any of the 3 roles in a good manor, while other class’s have weakness in certain one of the roles.

However Mesmer I keep hearing is hard and weak until you learn to play them.
Never experience this myself from lvl 1+ they feel powerful to me.

So you might wanna do warrior/Gaurdian if you looking for easy lvling.

Ps the guy that said Mes as tank build cant do much damage and so your force into a rang build.

He a Kitten(sorry but it true) don’t listen to him(I am a tank Mesmer)

I can 2 men almost any dgn, and solo tons of dgn boss’s.

It has always had a delay, I am investigating if the delay somehow got changed. If someone has good raw data on the old damage of berserker vs the new damage that will also help me track down where that change came from and fix it.

Thanks,

Jon

I don’t have any data either, unfortunately, I don’t usually record my attack damages on the offchance they might end up bugged and the Devs need my help :P

And I don’t think the Delay on attack has been changed,
It feels exactly the same length it felt back when I was in early levels and had no traits to mitigate it.
I think people just became so accustomed to being able to use Phantasmal Fury to eliminate the delay that it became the norm for the class. I have met very, very few Mesmers (I can think of none) that didn’t use Phantasmal Fury for the delay decrease.

I dont use fury and I feel the delay gotten bigger(near 900hr on Mez, with no fury)

Well, you would likely know better than I.
I had used Phantasmal Fury since about four or five days after Launch so it’s really been quite a while since I’ve used Phantasms without it.

According to an earlier post in this thread, Vengeful Images used to eliminate the delay before attacking too (Never used the trait), any chance you’d been using that before instead of Phantasmal Fury? :P

tank build, so yes without caring much for that i got it auto for doing insp

A very easy answer to this,,,,,,

When they test it, they can only test it with a few people.

Then when it goes live the new system have thousands upon thousands of people doing it and so since they could not test it for stress test with only a few.

They cant predict or tell if a bug will happen from all the stress on it.

I actually now run a tank build for dungeons: power, toughness, vitality. I probably should have gone with toughness, vitality and condition damage, but either way I’m unkillable. Stand aside warriors and guardians. 0 damage given, 0 damage taken. Who needs phantasm? Pshh. It’s actually quite fun, minus the lack of damage.

If you actually a tank build then your phant should survive for a long kitten time.

I know my phant survive, long enough for me to keep 3 out at all times.

Even my defender who takes damage from when party members gets hurt. Even that last 10-20 sec and a lot of the time it even last long enough for the cooldown to end.

Because of that I can keep a defender out 80%+ of the time.

Maybe your phant are bug and not getting the boost from your stats.

Karka farming for fun and profit

in Mesmer

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

EsLafiel.4517

Ok noob Mesmer here… How does mimic make this possible? I understand feedback… But mimic? Doesn’t it just absorb a projectile?

PS: this makes me happy, that island is currently my favorite zone xD

When you trigger mimic you get hit by 1 projectile all others after that get reflected while the channeling is in effect. You can then shoot that 1 projectile back at the mob.

That sounds like the most awesome ability ever and I must have it!!

Yea it was discovered recently. Nobody touched it ever, not even in beta until recently when someone tested it and said “oh look guys”

Actually it used to only work as the tooltip said.

Absorbed a single projectile to be fired. I believe it was stealth buffed to become a full 4 second reflect during late beta.

Actually it has gone through multiple iterations. It is probably the one Mesmer skill that has changed the most, and the most times. The tool tip has never changed through all these changes though.

Right now it is absolutely terrible for anything other than Karka farming. And no this wasn’t some recent discovery, this is something lots of Mesmers were doing the moment Karka’s entered the game.

Personally, it was one of my favourite abilities, both in the beta (absorb one projectile), as well as up until mid October or so when they ruined it (4 second reflect, mimic the first projectile… changed to what we have now). It was a favourite of many other Mesmers as well.

Taking the first hit means that it is a garbage skill only useful for farming one particular enemy, that spawns only in one particular zone.

It good on multy dgn boss’s that each aoe not much damage but fires massive amounts of them. Like Arah lupi, I can do 20k damage using mimic on him at right times.

Also when have multy people on you, and some rang that is spamming reg fire. You can use it for a good 4 sec not able to be hurt at all. IF use at right time again.

Plus it not notice very much, unlike feedback. Because of that rangers will more then likely hurt themself likes crazy, as well as engi ive notice.

It good for a lot of things, you either dont know how to use it or you just not tried and angry they change a skill you like.

Easy solution to the Ascended Gear problem #2

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

“So you’re complaining about:”

No I am merely pointing out an experience in the game.

“And you can’t stop players from rushing to the end of the race for a reward. It’s like giving a kid a bag of candy and telling him to pace himself till the end of the day. You know the moment you turn around, that bag is empty.”

The solution would be to require more than one place of everything to happen.

Like I said its all in once place.

Also any gear check of any kind is bad.

If your read the other posts all the other areas of the game have not only become vacant due to ascended items, the areas themselves have been nerfed. Why?

Its complete and total pigeonholing. Maybe they should nerf AFTER they have a replacement for said areas.

Do you really think they would come out with multy places to get all the next tier all at once.

No every month are so they will come out with more places to get this tier. It not possible to make a giant update like that all at once. They gotta make small piece at a time, then fix it and then can make more places of it.

Plus on my servers no other places are empty. Even in chat I still see map shout about multy other dgns and Ive join groups for other dgns to ta/se/arah/cm/coe is what I done since the update have come out.

Read my other statement to get the whole view of what I am saying, dont wanna repeat it.

Weird, If anything I find fractals easy, 3 mening them even. I say most could be 2 men and a couple 1men.

Plus their was also the chance of getting a bad group for dgns, and having people yell at you.

They was also already people saying have exotics are you cant come with us.

Which for lvl 1-10 the next tier don’t help at all pretty much.

So I dont see how this change anything, unless you get about lvl 20 where the next gear is important.

Also getting a good group have always been more important then your own pure skill.
That have not change at all, if you get a bad group for reg dgns, the same going to happen as in fractals.

Maybe it me but I dont see how this change anything.

Other then they really need to do something about the dc.

However I am really sorry for your bad luck, I have had bad groups my self for fractals.

When I do I just work harder to try and get people to do what is needed.

Whilst I agree that Mesmers can be tanks I don’t think that they should be. Mesmers are great at surviving, as said by a previous poster. There have been many times where my entire party was wiped out except for myself and I had to try to revive them whilst fending off invaders. Decoy and Feedback are the best Mesmer skills (IMO) and they never leave my skillbar. They have saved my kitten multiple times.

Yes Mesmers can be tanks, but their skills are more suited else where.

TC/Iw/Warden/BF/IL/BP

With sword/focus and gs. 6 out of 10 skills are tank/cc skills. Which is higher then any other class Ive seen.

Also with utilities SoI, SoM, MoD,MoC, Nf, Fb,AT, M,PD,b. All of those do great for tanking and some others to but those are the main ones.

With traits their to many for me to put down, dont wanna wast all that time.

Point is we got massive amount of tank/cc skills.

So no their is no better way to build a mez.

Well I dont think any build is better then any other anyway, just depends on how you use it.

Also Mez got 2 major tank builds a tank/cc and a tank/cd and both are truly epic.

Maybe this needs to be clarified:
In an event zerg: Chaos Storm, tab through targets and spam mantras on waves of attackers. Distortion bombing and pistol spamming are your friends, the idea is to simply tab to as many different enemies as possible.

Dungeons. Every dungeon in this game is a simple matter of spiking down every target as fast as possible. To that end, the sword, with it’s vulnerability on auto-attack, and immunity to all damage through Distortion, removing the need of any defensive stats, is your friend. Against bosses, simply spike with mantras, and use attacks 1-4.

Also, Time Warp. Nothing like doubling the damage of your entire party for 10 seconds.

I dont agree with the dgn part at all, yes some paths in dgn are so easy it like that.

But even then groups get tons of downs when they just aim for that.

IN my groups we dont even get one down no matter the dgn, in arah are anything.

Well not 100%, but close.

GS number 4 is best for tagging mobs. On mez and yes we do have a lower ability to tag mobs.

However the rest dont make sense to me, of what you said.

I do dgns for gold and gear, I got full culture which is 110g about.

Also spent about 40g more on other items all together.

So I’ve made plent of gold in no time on mez.

Farming Dungeons, and my Mez build is great for dgns. So much that I been invited to multy guilds that focus on dungeons alone. Also get tons of whisper form long list of friends all the time to go dgning with them. Because they love to dungeon with me, because my build is extremly powerful in dgns.

I’m a tank/cc, mobs almsot never touch my team. Build so good I can tank most boss’s with no probs at all.

Because of that Dub my theif friend 2 men dgns and we started to record it and put it on youtube.

So sorry but Mesmers should not have a hard time getting into dgns. When their a freaking awesome builds for it.

Before anyone say MEz cant CC,

They got a wider range then anyone else.

More reflex skills then anyone, they got multy skills for taking away debuffs and giving buffs. They got a good 3 aoe pull skills(so pulling all mobs into one area)
They got good cripple skills and immb skills for more CC.

All around the Mez got tons of CC skills, would not doubt if it more then any other class.

So if ya spec for tanking and get the right tank traits. You can also tank like crazy.

Well because of this I make tons of money, with no problem.

Show us your Mesmer!

Got Armor,but weapons??

all of the TA dungeon weapons might match that. all all of the sylvari cultrual weapons would match the plant theme, but not the color

Had TA weapons, never like them that much, and now I got culture weapons. however again it feels off.

I don’t know the name or how to get it but given the blue glow effect I think this GS goes nice with it:

Not found a single weapon that could match the colors and outfit I am wearing(weapon dont gotta be same colors, just something that goes with it)

So I would be very happy if people here would help me find right weapons.

I need sword/focus and a greatsword(the weapons I use)

[Mesmer] List of bugged abilities and traits.

in Mesmer

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

EsLafiel.4517

Focus:
“Temporal Curtain” –The vertical range of the courtain is too low. In some jumping puzzles, where the ground is not even, the courtain has no efect since it’s not high enough to get out of the ground.

I know this is such a minor bug, but still…

This is a problem, because once ya trait focus. Tc is use to reflex, yet it so low to the ground that it reflex almost nothing.

So that really mess’s stuff up.

Esp if ya a reflex mez build,

hahah its such a joke when your ONLY option to be half useful for pve/dungeons is to run a shatter build. in wvw you throw your mes to garbage because its by far the worst class in the game now, gg anet! across the years i’ve learned they’re one of the worst when it comes to nerfing/fixing (going by gw1).

Mez also have a tank/cc build which is extremely helpful in dgns.

So why not think before you speak.

the mez tank/cc build that any necro regardless of build can out-do with a staff and their utility bar (6-0)?

Dont know which build you talking about, but my build no nerco can out do.

I can solo dgn boss’s can keep all mobs off my team easy.

Every single build I seen on forums, have been either a sucky tank/cc build for mez or none at all.

I got a entire list of people that whisper every time I log on for doing dgns with them. Becuase mez is a freakying scary tank/cc if done right.

WOOOOW!!!!!!!!!! You must be very good in this game!!!!!! Are you like MLG no scope xX Optic ELITE Xx killler of gw2? Bet in the 800-900h i spent on mesmer i haven’t learned what a mesmer can and can’t do lolololz but if you can keep ALL MOBS from your teamates while soloing dungeons bosses all i can say is, brag moooar brah.

Go to youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMgIVjXHxXo&feature=results_video

Only one video so far, but we be uploading more soon.

Of us 2mening different dgns.

Which you see Dub almost never get hit by mobs, other then first boss, but he spits all over the place randomly so no way to control that.

I got near 800hrs my self and I will still admit their is multy builds out their I don’t know about and I never will.

However guessing you to arrogant for that.

I do find it odd that t2 light looks better than t3.

are you on drugs are something, at lest for females. The t3 light is by far better.

Now I will admits the t2 shoulderpads are awesome, best in game no doubt.

However the rest of it is not good at all. Ps, using my bottom bar to block out my shoes, because still got the t1 shoes, which sucks but within a week I will have money for the t3 shoes.

How long until GW2 will become a p2w game?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Um 300g is the ave for a legendary, you can make 10g a day pretty easily if you have time. I can only play about 2-3hrs and I can make 3-5g a day.

While spending real life money to get gems right now. TO get 300g you have to spend 300 hundred dollars.

Only a very few would even think about doing that.
Also since it not control by the people, it will never get badly inflated.

But who knows they might go down the p2w one day, but as of right now their no signs of it.

I agree with needed more sylvari armor, would love a lot more and hope we get a new set in this up comming armor patch.

Second everything else you said is stupid, every single color for the sylvari IS FOUND in nature.

Also they suppose to only semi copy humans, not become them.
So of course they still got big time saying I am planet, in the basic shape of a human thats ALL.

What gear for WvWvW anti-projectile build

Posted by: EsLafiel.4517

I would either change the scepter out for a sword or I would change the gs out for a staff.
Because gs is a power base weapon, while the Scepter is a cd base weapon.
Base on your traits the gs is best to keep and the scepter needs to be change out.

Power/pre/tough or power/healing/tough. I would go with one of them with what you have. For my armor.

The Trade

First when I first herd they be no trade, I thought right away it would be a system kinda like what Rusty hearts and so I did not mind at all.

However they dont have that system, the mail is just a hope they good people.

So plz do a system like Rusty Hearts had.

Which is when you mail a item to someone, you have a option to put how much gold you want for it. The other people cant take item, out of their mail, until they press this button that auto send the gold to you. As well you can put a waiting timer on it, so like set it for one day. If they don’t send money in that time, the mail auto sends the item back to you.

I truly believe gw2 would have a system like this, and dont know why it took me this long to post about it.

P.S. sorry bad English,
