Guild Wars 2

tom.7468:

I would love to see this every mmo has it except for this and its a soscial feature that don’t require you to trust the recipient like the current mail system.

i can see one reason why not, all the WTS……. and WTB…….. screams full with detail and caps lock non-sense, BLTP cleans that up.
the only way they can justify one is when they keep a lid on the mentioned stuff.

This just show that you never played gw1 where there was towns for trading mainly kamadan with a own trade chat tab that you could turn on/off to prevent the spam as well as a party search tool where you could see all trades going on and not have to worry about the spam at all.

You talk about it as if it was all merry and sunshine. Of course this is not what I remember.
You could turn it off yes, did not mean that people abide by the rules and went ahead and spammed the normal chat channels anyway.
I also hate the fact that certain places ended up being the trade places in GW1. Here in GW2 you can sell your stuff anywhere in the game.
You could see all trades in gw1 for that town and its overflow dist’s. In GW2 you can now see all trades in game across all severs in your continental area no matter where you are in the game.

I do not miss wtb & wts msg’s. I do not miss having to stand around all day trying to sell my item, finally getting some interest and its some kind of trade broker who wants me to lower my already low price even further so he could turn it around and sell it for the current market value, which I was aware of my item before I tried to sell it. As for it being social, I did not make friends from selling stuff in GW1, so I am glad I can keep my anonymity in GW2. You think that mail system allows for some scamming well don’t even get me started on how much scams went down in GW1, because of the direct trade system.

There is another reason why this should not be done, because hundreds of people will complain that there dps is so much lower that brand x profession and then the demand for “Balance” threads would pop up. Not saying that doesn’t already happen without a meter.

Here try this idea instead, what about a NPC in each of the major cities(not LA) and/or in the Mists, near the test dummies that would rent you a meter of the particular stat you wanted to test, yes you would need new dummies to test the different stats on in the major cities.
Not only would you be able to rent the meter, but the cost would let you clean your traits and assign temporary traits that you could redo over and over as long as you stay in the test area and if you walk off the meter falls off and the traits go back to what you had set them before the start of the test. Also those single stated weapons from the mist area would make the best choice to test with.

I am for being able to play around with your stats and get things to work in a way that you like. I am against a portable version of a meter since, from personal experience in other games, has proven to me that the populous are just not capable of using the knowledge for their own good but only for the ridicule of others in the gaming community.

Edit: I forgot to add a testing area for underwater as well…most times I find my experience underwater is to much separated from that of my land based counterpart that if only I could play more with the skills and traits at the same time I might find that happy medium.

Risen Hunter maybe, since you have job security for the moment.
Then as each new Elder Dragon Fight comes, maybe he can go back to school and get a degree in fighting whatever minion that particular Dragon uses. For Example Kralkatorrik you would need to take up study in Branded and Twisted Crystalline Corruptions.
Jokes aside, I don’t think its something that would really benefit the game….I am really looking forward to maybe them bringing back the professions that are missing from the other expansion in gw1, which might turn up as expansions in this game as well but maybe not in the order that they came out in the original.

Well what Could happen is that people would farm the JP in WvW to get the badges, but then again 10 Gifts of Battle might make a fair price maybe….and while we are on the subject:::: separate badges from the loot bags and have them go into the bottom of the inventory tab the same as Gold, Karma, or Laurels.

Not only this but I want to be able to search for a range of items of a certain rarity, for instance: I want to look for pistols, but only pistols of a range of Masterwork to Exotic… this way you can sort the picks you want to see and make your comparisons side be side in the price range instead of looking for each rarity all together and seeing results you do not want to look at.

Sabertooth.2374:

thats fair, after all we can see what the armor looks like anyway, names are all that we need

Hey here is an idea!!!

Go to the to the heart of the mist. Inside the HotM is a PVP Locker open the locker and look inside. Right click any item you want and preview the item. Learn the name of the item you like. Profit.

Yeah I want to see what kind of spin Anet could come up with to do fishing.

I would not mind going out on a boat like you see at LA with a 10 man party and fishing from the boat and having some big giant sea monster try to sink the boat every hour or so, and everyone has to stop and fight off the monster to continue fishing, and if it sinks the boat, you get washed back on shore or something like that. This way they could have another gold sink for that. They could make this part of the new guild grouping thing coming out in the next patch, after they get fishing in the game of course.

No the whole reason is to stop scams, sure I hate the fact that every time I want to sell something, I have to have money to get my money. In that sense, I wish if I am selling to a buy order that a listing fee is not needed, as duh you are not listing anything.

But one of the main reasons they have set it up this way is to eliminate scamming, which btw was stupid kitten overdone in gw1.
Another thing I am glad for is that the interaction I used to have force myself though just to sell 1 item is gone. No more dealing with the market players begging me to reduce my already rock bottom low price, so they can resell the item at the full market value. I spent all day trying to sell 1 great item and never finding a buyer…I wanted to play the game not stand around selling my items.
Then another thing, I do not miss the screen filled to the brim with constant scrolling WTB & WTS messages. Yes I realize that everyone got together in one area of the game to sell the stuff and you could turn off trade chat, still did not stop the people who would spam regular chat as well.

If the mail system had a COD feature all that old hassle would come back to the game, because people would try to break away from the TP and what Anet has done a good job of preventing from happening in this game. Other than the price gouge from a double tax at the TP. I want it to pretty much stay the way they set it up.

How about you set a button up, to flip skills 6 -0 to get 5 slots for your nourishment’s and your mini and whatnots. And, oh yeah! Make it so that when you assign something to the bar, no matter what it can not be sent back to the collectables tab of your bank.

well thanks for that.

I wish they would settle some highly debated topics on here by saying hey we are not gonna do that, or it might become a future project. Or at least say something to get the topic from popping up every day.

Amadan.9451:

i see a world full of charr pups… and even asura progeny…
it would be very cute, but can you imagine a kid commander under treaherne?

i blame japanese anime for making us believe that being a kid that fight in a war with a great evil is a good thing…
in real life if you see a kid armed and ready for killing you will be upset, sad and alarmed.

the 15 years old girl story some post above is about a tragic teenager figure, she will never live a normal life, no one could with all that killing at 15.
can you imagine her in her world borderland fighting and killing invaders? there is nothing heroic about that (just see the description of realm avenger in the achievement tab).

that said i understand the reasons why someone would be wiiling to roleplay a kid, or maybe a kid playing the game want to create a toon that fits him/herself… but still i think it’s strange to see a kid in the middle of a fight.

Kids fight better than older men, during Vietnam they drafted teens not 40 year olds. And now we gonna put women in combat roles.

I know my RP story starts as a tragedy. But I still don’t know how she will be growing up. From here its all about the RP and those stories are always subject to change. So you think I am some sicko then?

How about no.

Too creepy.

Read All the posts before making stupid comments.

I did, and that’s what I had to say about it. Kindly t(-.-)t

How long have you played video games? How many have kids as main characters? No it isn’t creepy to play a kid in a game, It normal.

Since MUD’s were the most popular multiplayer games around, if you don’t count my 8-bit days. Yes, many games do have kids as main characters. It simply doesn’t fit with this game’s milieu. No sane parent would let their kid out of Lionsarch. It would feel really tacked on.

No sane parent? I gave my toon a reason to go out and the game has filled in story that I did not even know was gonna be there. I wrote that little piece before the game came out and it really did match her personal story. See my post above if this made no sense…

Hey something like this has been suggested before, I know cause it was me lol! Although mine is a bit different. Here you can have look see.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Dynamic-level-adjustment-Dungeons/first#post1198311

My Necro is a kid. Human smallest possible size with the more baby type face more youthful slender body, and Pig Tails hair do.

I made her as a replacement to the original same name toon from GW1, which was age 17 when she started her journey.

I had the new one not actually be named the same name, but she was so inspired by the original, that she had read about in a book from a cart in Queensdale.

She decided she would take up the name and follow in her footsteps as a great hero. Her parents were missing and she had grew up in the streets and knew the ruff life so, being a hero seemed like fantasy life to her, til one day Shaemoor was attacked by Centaurs. She was only 15 when she took up a weapon that day and defended off the attack, almost single handily. Her street smarts were the reason she was able to fight off the larger attackers. From there her life was changed forever. She knew that the Fantasy had become a Reality and she would never know true happiness till she found out what had happened to her parents.

Now am I sick for making my toon 15years old?

NinjaEd.3946:

Some mount posts go down a normal route that can be debated, half the posts I see here are requesting a flying mount… really no discussion here. They have stated specifically, no to flying mounts. And the broom isn’t a mount, your slow on it and using a skill or dodge or being hit removes you from it so unless your idea is to run out of combat to re-equip town clothes to sail across tyria (can’t even enter water with it) then go ahead and live your dream.

Even I agree that flying mounts are a no.

Although I disagree about the broom not being a mount, it is cosmetic. Still I will hold out for a more traditional mount system just like I want fishing in the game. It just something I think will make my gaming experience be more fun. I can concede that certain elements about a mount system will need basic rules to the way they interact within the world so that everyone who wants them can appreciate them and those who do not want them will be fine just not using them.

I know that Anet has added things in the past and although it was in another game, they had put a spin on it, that made it not only fun, but almost unique. If they do add a traditional mount system, I look forward to see what kind of spin they could add to them. While maintaining the useful, stylish, and playful attributes of a mount system seen in all the other Mmo’s.

Gummy.4278:

funny the F button still works fine…..and what does anet care about that for, they had tonics in Gw1 that would make any mount short of a dragon look small. You can not be blocked because the F button works on the NPC no mater what is standing over them.
I get it! I really do. No one wants to look at the butt of any creature when they are trying to look at some other screen that blocks out your entire view anyway.

Get a bigger screen. That merchant window is just 1/4th-1/6th of my screen, and I don’t keep it in the middle the whole time.

Gummy.4278:

Which to combat your poor excuse for a reason why not.

Well, you’re entitled to your opinion I guess, but so far I haven’t seen a single good argument for adding mounts, just a few wow players being loud above all reason.

Gummy.4278:

I have a solution, they could very well make it so that you auto dismount any time you get near enough to a NPC where the Press F button to interact pops up on your screen.

So, the couple of hundred players riding mounts in a zone send a distance check 10 times per second against every merchant in the zone? Oh, that wouldn’t cause any performance issues at all.

Gummy.4278:

So they already have distance detection in the game,

Which is only called for when necessary, not 10x second for every player on the map.

Gummy.4278:

If anything Emerson into the game world is more breaking by having some screen pop up than having the butt of something in your face.

Sorry, who is this Emerson you’re speaking of? A distant cousin for Mr. Anderson?
And I do not care if you like butts in your face, I do not.

Bathos.6341:

technically, you could count the riding broom as a mount. But I’m guessing you mean something closer to the rideable siege devourer they had in Eye of the north.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6C0CP8pSLU
Myself, I’d actually like to see at least a temporary event transform that lets us control Charr steam tanks.

Oh, I’m all for more Golems, Char Siege Weaponry and whatnot.
Just no lame dolyak mounts, which would be just about the only option fitting for the lore. And naturally no mount outside the lore.

I have made plenty of good reasons.

The popup for the F button is already in game "WITHOUT "any performance issues. What do you think that if the person is on a mount it would somehow change that.

Lore! lol, I myself could easily do what the developers do and write up a story that explains how a mount that has gone extinct can be brought back though time travel or going though one of the many possible portal into the Mists. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mists
I stand by what I say “your poor excuse.”

Ohliufff.8160:

NPCs dont have mounts so we shouldn’t either?

He was obviously referring to the lore.
I want nuclear weapons on my minstrel. What do you mean nobody has them in the game?

Mounts would be a nice edition to the game and they are optional to use as well so if you dont like them dont use them….use the waypoints.

You got a very loose idea of “optional”. Yes, they are “optional” for the person using a mount, but not for the poor Asura who was using a merchant when someone parked a dolyak on his face.

Seriously, no mounts.

If you want to say that for the sake of the lore and the npc’s they shouldn’t add mounts because they would be unrealistic to the game, all i got to say is: This is a fictional game sir.

+ I don’t see how adding more content could hurt the game when everything in this game is optional. You can do dungeons or not, PS or not, grind…or not. Giving more content and choice for the people is not bad ppl. It’s the foundation of any democratic society.

Of course it is a fictional game and in the fictional planet of tyria nobody discovered the ability to ride animals so well you can’t ride them.

That’ s not true, in fact there was many mounts, the Dwarves for instance had Summit Beastmaster or a Dolyak Rider, and Dagnar Stonepate rode a Drake. They had Junhudu in Nightfall and Seige Devour’s in EotN. The Necrid Horsemen rides a horse and so does the ghostly Banished Dream Rider, these two proves that in the past not only did they exist but in fact our fat butts was riding them around.

Oh but you want more prof how about something more recent, maybe something from GW2?
Ok! How about the quest “Desperate Medicine” Petra actually says “Look, Moa’s! There big, but skittish. It would be real easy to spook them! Remember when we used to !RIDE! Rancher Mepi’s herd? I bet these birds are just as skittish.”
They have multiple in game Artwork’s that show people mounted.
During Halloween using the Candy Powered Matter Meter and the little girl Serene got killed by a Horse.

Its fictional alright, that just means that they could add another fictional story to add any content they want.

DusK.3849:

Quick question: What would these mounts be?

And how much sense does it make to be able to pull one of these things out of your pocket like it aint no thang?

I guess it makes about as much sense as making a thing made out of meat and bone come to life without a corpse…or about as much sense as a Ranger calling his pet to his side and it just pops up beside him…Fantasy setting can provide many possibilities.

Here I can think up one such possibility without even trying really.
The Asura have perfected the ability to travel though inter-dimensional portals back and forth though the mists. Just one of these ingenious guys was able to find a place in the mist where horses still thrive and are not extinct. Now with a dash of Magic(Gasp! who would have thought in game like this) you can get your very own mount, after of course you travel though the this portal and capture and tame him. Nobody ever said getting a mount would be easy.

Or maybe you are more traditional D&D player well you could use a Bag of Tricks. http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Bag_of_Tricks

But hey, I am ok with summoning(what! Magic! again) them too , which means I say the incantation and it just appears from nothing.

Or we could go the calling method which means, we whistle and the mount runs up from a distance and we get on.

If it made sense in the real world way then why would we ever bother putting ourselves into a Fantasy setting to begin with.

Striezel.8192:

Ronah.2869:

Can’t wait for Dragon Prophet to be released this year. Over 300 dragon combat mounts to tame and ride / fly. That will be a total blast.

That’s why Guild Wars 2 has no subscribtion fee. So you can go and play other games without feeling like you have to play Guild Wars 2. But i wonder how you are contributing to the discussion.

Dragon Prophet is free to play also….

His contribution seems fairly obvious. Although I can’t say that I can translate that 100%, I can give a whirl, here goes. If they wont give me want I think is fun, I can and will go get my fun fix somewhere that caters to more than just fanboy’s.

Weindrasi.3805:

Before you make a post like this, do some research. Arenanet has already explained that the game is not designed for mounts, ESPECIALLY not flying mounts. They said they will never add mounts.

Your statement is not true. Anet has in fact already added cosmetic mounts. (Riding Broom).

Furthermore they never said that they would never add a traditional mount system to the game, It might help your point, if you could link to the actual statement from a anet that shows without a doubt something that indicates truth to your unfounded claim.

NinjaEd.3946:

I suggest a search bar, that shows us posts related to /what we may be requesting already O.o

But seriously, use the search bar pweez This topic doesn’t need to be reposted every day :/

After using the search feature to search for the keyword “mounts” but only seen this thread to post in, of the 2000+ post possibilities I only seen one topic dedicated to the topic of this discussion could take place in, which is this thread.
The forums seem to be broke, in that using the feature you want someone to use, will not reap the rewards you want to achieve.
This and this topic in particular is heavily debated and usually will get shut down, cause someones feelings get hurt and they report and then the mod’s lock it down. Later someone else will repost it and then its back to square one. They need to start a new “merged” so a continued discussion could be utilized by the participants until they do something like what you and I have suggested would be very welcome.

I am in agreement, to many post on the same topic. Furthermore I want the same thing and have made that suggestion before. They make the “Create Topic” have a feature that would auto search for the keywords and list the topics before the person makes a new topic and give them a warning about thread duplication before they post the new topic. As seen here.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Auto-Search-on-the-Forums/first#post1101322
Nobody gave a response and within a 1/2 hour the thread was gone off the first page

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Skill-bar-slot-for-consumables/first#post1403602

see my comment here, and use the search feature.

Let me clear up something….about my method and how to keep the gold sink active. You pay a one time fee to unlock slots to store your templates. I am thinking maybe 2 or 3 slots and you can purchase more slots for a one time fee….the way a gold sink works with this, is that the slots are not unchangeable unless you go back to the trainer and pay his fee to clear it off. So it will allow you to buy as many build template slots as you as an individual think you need. Change from one to another builds in seconds and if later on down the road you decide that the build is not right for you , you can use the trainer as you do now to clear the traits, weapons, skills, and armor so you can rewrite a new build.

They had a system in gw1 that worked fine. You could store as many “Templates” as you wanted.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Template
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Skills_and_Attributes_Panel

With this in GW2 you could set it to store not only the Traits but your Utility Skills and Elite, what Weapons and Armor also allowing you to Name your Build, so you can easily get the right build for whatever you are getting ready to do. This would stream your changeovers to mere seconds.

I’d rather have a one time larger gold fee to apply a template storage feature to my toon, than to carry around another item in my bags. If you have the ability to store just two Builds you will need extra space for different weapons and armor. Why would you want to clutter your bags, when this could be implemented though the UI?

If you think that a gold sink is necessary, then why not have it set up so that you can save 2 or 3 builds for the one time fee of X-amount gold from the initial purchase and a set X-amount for each additional build slots that you can buy(btw I don’t like this idea…I’d rather its was unlimited)

No to an item……

Yeah I did.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Battle-Cry-emote/first#post1377020

I think you should use the search before you post.

It has been brought up many times you just need to use search.

No why you want to limit us to just 2 or 3 builds, why not unlimited?
They had a system in GW1. That’s what I want to see here in GW2 also.

No to paying gems for this system to work as well. They can of course level restrict it so that you can’t have the ability to save and call up builds til you make it to a certain level. They could also charge a fee for each use like exactly what you pay right now going to the trainer or have the trainer charge a large one time fee for each character to access this feature.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Build
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Template

1. what is your suggestion?
2. If you are doing an event solo one day it scales for one person if 10 people are there the next day it scales the named mob up to match the amount of participants.
3. Also what Adine said about scaling down and up.
4. Same dungeon different people maybe.

No….It has been suggested before, please use the search feature.

I do not want another item I have to horde up valuable space in my bags with, when I decide to switch between specs. I want the old system they had in GW1 where you store as many build as you want. If they want to charge a fee to use this kind of feature, whatever but don’t make it an item or something I can only get from gems or gamble on Bl-chests.

I wish we had a test server that we all could try out the next patch a month before the final patch rolls out so these inconsistencies could be seen and things like this could be nailed downed and fixed prior to it going live.

Yeah I was so glad I did not have to hit the hero panel to find the achievement tab and get into the daily just to see my progress.

Maybe add a pin feature so that when you open the daily list up, you then can pin it open with another click and another un-pins it. So it remains the way we need to view it

I say badges should just be like instantly added to its own thing the same as Karma or Laurels. It should just happen no matter what, if you help make the kill any of that will auto pay directly into the account.

Loot on the other hand maybe it should be left to chance your leaving it behind by accident. But on a side note I think that all rare to exotic mini pets should be able to pick up loot off the ground. And all exotic minis will have a auto sale/salvage feature for instance you could set it up to sale all white drops and salvage all blues while retaining any of the other color drops for your personal scrutiny. This would not include minis that came from holidays or other minis that are not sale-able. This would cause a major surge in the mini market and mini packs in the gem store.

You know how “~” flips the first 5 skills, I would not mind another key assigned to the other skills on the other side, that way you could assign up to 5 items….and each should have a purpose: 1 for mini pets and/or everlasting tonics, 1 for Food, 1 for Potions, 1 for either o the tuning crystals, sharpening stones or maintenance oils and the elite spot would be for activating your toy , like the riding broom.

Anything that is added to these slots would be treated as if the slots where the inventory spot and upon using deposit all collectables would not remove them from the bar or place them into the collections tab of your bank.

MithranArkanere.8957:

A fixed pose would be too limited.

It’ll be better if you could input a number after the /emote command to indicate a frame/time of the animation at which you want to freeze that emote.

/dance * ms 1001 and you sync with anyone who also is doing *, and freeze when 1001 millisecond pass.

That way you can turn every frame of the animation of any emote into a pose.

I really don’t want to be bother figuring out what time I need to stop on to get the effect that I am looking for.
The emotes that I am talking about could be stand alone emotes that you will use not only for pics but for fun in the game. For instance, the “Peace sign” would also give off the text in chat saying something like “your toon name here: gives the peace sign.” What could you apply that to in game that would mean something , lets see how about in some pvp areas like the Obsidian Sanctum JP.

It has, why didn’t you use search and add to those topics that were already in progress.

A topic that has many many replies with the majority of the posters in agreement with the topic, usually has a better chance of catching the dev’s eye. Instead the suggestion forums is filled with more and more of the same topic and people who have commented in the original topic of the same type might just skip posting in yours as they see the waste you have created.

Have you ever did something that you were so happy to have done in the game that its time to clear off the UI and take a Snapshot.

What if they had a /pose emote so you could make that snapshot even better. Anywhere from the classic “Victory” or “Peace” or the latest “Heart” to my personal favorite the “Kitty Paws”. A group pose could be done with everyone typing " /pose * ".

Poses would be more like in the hand gestures not in facial to make it easy for anet to program so NO to the “Duck Face”!

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/727582/the_pout_the_claw_and_the_peace_sign_asian_girls_and.html

Do you guys think the pose should be based on race/sex or would you rather you pick the pose you liked, instead of being limited to one type pose based on your toons race/sex?

They do not tell you every detail….they might say something like “fixed several exploits” But you don’t know what that was till 2 hours later someone is going on a kitten about they took out whatever it was. I’d rather hear from them “that little jumpy thing all you was doing, you all get to go around now and do it like it was meant”!

I’d rather have ability to quick switch from my favorite pve build to a pvp or go from dps to a support build that I can save, like we did in GW1. I could save as many builds that my little head can think up. Switch as many times as I want, and I DO NOT want another item to carry in bags to make it happen.

You know thinking more about it. I started thinking that it might be a good way for some to work on dailies, while they are having down time out and about. The only problem is the reset time for dailies ends a 7pm my time, and I usually do all of them when I get home from work at around the same time. Which means I would have to purposely not finish my dailies every night, just so I could play on the app during my down time at work. Then if by chance I don’t have any down time that day, I will loose out on my dailies getting completed.

It sounds good, but what happens to the people that don’t have a cell phone or a cell phone for which the the app was written for, like Android.

Anyway they announced that there would be an app, but the dev’s are currently not working on the project.

Wesley.4590:

The forum is sadly still lacking a number of basic features as of yet. I haven’t noticed any new features since release so it seems like they don’t have anyone working on improving the forum atm. I wouldn’t mind seeing less double posts merged if that frees employees up to give the forum the basic features that it should have.

I would like to see a feature that when you start creating your new topic on a old discussion and as you type in the words it auto searches for topics with the same words in the title or in a comment. It would then give a popup asking if you would like to post in the one of the many already made on-topic available. This way people who are new to the forums and are not aware of the search feature, do not make the mistake of making a thread duplicate.

yeah first and foremost why call it a “Total Makeover” if the the most basic change is overlooked?

Along the lines that Anet wanted us to have pride in our World(server)….Maybe a good way to make people feel more connected is a /emote based on each world servers name sake.

I have to make some kind of example to help some people visualize the end effect, not saying this will be pretty but here goes.

Upon entering a major drive to take a keep in WvW upon using the /battlecry if your home world was say Jade Quarry you might shout “Remember the Turtles!” (lol)
or lets say you are from Sanctum of Rall you might shout “Do it for Oldroar!”
As you and you comrades charge into battle!

Well I told you is wasn’t gonna be pretty. Well if you have a /battlecry for you home world that you think says it all then share.

I don’t want to see large cosmetic mounts like horse in the game. This game doesn’t need players a large cosmetic mounts crowding npc’s.

The riding and witches brooms are alright because they are smaller and give no advantages to the player.

funny the F button still works fine…..and what does anet care about that for, they had tonics in Gw1 that would make any mount short of a dragon look small.

Large mounts are a eyesore.

I get it! I really do. No one wants to look at the butt of any creature when they are trying to look at some other screen that blocks out your entire view anyway.

For some reason people don`t like the idea of mounts and I cannot understand why. To me any option that can enhance or provide any extra fun to a game is a good move. Notice I said option, meaning the people that don`t like the idea don`t have to partake in it and can move on. But for the people who would like to see something like that, why not? I saw a post in another thread where someone mentioned they didn`t want to see mounts blocking npc`s. Easy fix there. EQ2 had an option to disable the graphics for mounts so people that didn`t want to see them didn`t have to. Still have an argument for them now after hearing that? Sooner or later they will be added mark my words. All it needed was broom to get it started.

It’s not really a thing of you not being able to understand why we don’t want mounts. It seems more the case that people who want mounts choose not to understand why the majority (yes – we are a majority) of players don’t want mounts.

We have said many times the reasons why having mounts are completely useless. We hear the arguments that “They can be only cosmetic!” but you miss the fact that cosmetic trophies already exist in the form of the mini system. You say “They can only provide a minimal boost to speed” but that boost to speed can be maintained in many MANY other ways without mounts – gem store speed boosters, swiftness, signets, traits, and arguing that mounts are needed to adventure around the map more just eliminates the purpose of waypoints.

Mounts are completely useless in this game. There is absolutely no reason for them to exist.

As we have argued in the past – why get the dev’s to work on pointless projects when they could instead be developing new maps, dungeons, traits, armour, weapons and skills and balance the races and professions that already exist.

There is a reason people are enormously opposed to mounts. It is because they are a pointless waste of space.

I really don’t see the people who oppose mounts as the “Majority”….the Majority are the people playing the game having fun and not even looking on the forums at all.

I am gonna tell you the secret to why….Money!
Anet does not cater to the customer they cater to the money…they put in items they think will sell.

Waste of Dev time. The game has serious issues that needs addressing before something that is 1000% not needed is even thought to be added.

why did they just put the broom out in the last patch then.

I suggested toy mounts, before they became toy mounts…lets see if any more make it.
