My only issue with this is the justification “I work, I don’t have time to keep doing this” because you could then apply that to crafting, to levelling, to jumping puzzles, to world complete, to farming mats for a given item. You will always be too busy to do everything, always.

That is true, but it’s not about not having time to do the waypoints, its about not having time to do activities we enjoy, because we first need to do the waypoints. Its about skipping the time gating by spending money. A choice Anet themselves said should be available.

This is a circular argument however, a downward spiral.
First you get to 80 without playing, then you get all the WP’s open without playing and then you start looking at crafting as something you no longer find fun. Or that one dungeon that you can never get a team for, maybe there should be dungeon complete tokens, that one jumping puzzle that you don’t have the time to do <again>, you’d like a skip token for that.

Would you agree all those things are also activities that some people do not enjoy and that there should be a way to bypass them too?

Of course the more content you skip, the more time you have to farm. Being able to create an insta-level 80 that can instantly farm in Silverwastes (or instantly take part in the new content / meta produced at any given time) would be quite advantageous.

If it hasn’t been programmed in already, it’s too late to program it now. Even the simplest changes take a month to do and test and this wouldn’t be a simple change. People don’t seem to have a clue how programming something like this game actually works.

+1’d this because I am a developer. I would add that it is either too late or too expensive at this point to make changes.

Also, I’d rather they be focusing on HoT right now.

-1 My dad works at Nintendo. He is a developer as well and he told me you’re wrong.

How about we let the ACTUAL developers give us facts about the development size & time frame? I’m sick and tired of people being their own experts.

Lol so mad

On the other hand, the game exists because we spend money on it. As a suggestion to the devs to bring in more money, there isn’t really anything wrong with it. World complete is way, way more than just opening waypoints.

At the same time, it’s not that hard (and was already detailed earlier) to open maps using Lion’s Arch portals and getting into maps and opening dungeons. For other specific waypoints you might want, there are those “portal to the team leader” stones.

The other thing it would affect is guild missions, even if you don’t want world complete, the game still encourages you to have some maps fully explored for finding targets.

If there was to be any restriction on this, I would like to see the gift of exploration be used for it, this would ensure you’d done world complete at least once.

I second the above suggestion to add a questionnaire into the money transfer.
Would give you some good data mining as well as put people off illegal money transfers.

The “gold buyers aren’t bad people” analogy doesn’t work for me. Let them play by the same rules as the rest of us, don’t make excuses for them. They KNOW they are buying botted or stolen gold / gear. Ban them the same as gold sellers.

I’ve just had one, you already have it in your list of known emails.
Would it not be wise to email players warning them of a new round of scams rather than relying on them maybe coming here to find out?
It actually reminded me I meant to set up the authenticator, so was actually useful but still, would have been nice to have had an email from anet warning of phishing.

If you are not offended after a 1v1 fight but ARE offended after a zerg.. you might want to remember you’re playing a game and that you can WP back regardless and not waste support time with a ticket.

There is something wrong with the warning system. I didn’t get any message. It took support almost the full 72 hours to say “oops.. our bad” and reinstate the account.

I PM’ed a complaint to Gaile but have not had a response. Sensing a pattern.

Took two days for them to admit they’d wrongly suspended me. Then they didn’t unsuspend me even tho they said they had. It took another day for them to say sorry for not unsuspending me when they said they had.

So.. don’t hold your breath, you’ll just turn blue.

Same issue representing / accessing the Guild bank. Started some time yesterday and only affects certain characters on my account. Same for other members of the guild, some characters have no trouble being in the Guild, others do.
