You played GW1 and are complaining about changing builds? Really?
And now experimenting with new builds is as easy as it was in GW1.
GW1 was/is so simple MUCH BETTER/EASIER/FASTER THAN GW2, to change builds all you had to do was go to the "Skill and Attributes screen go to drop-down menu and choose from one of the hundreds of pre-made templates you had stored and click on the build of your own design and BAM you were re-speced and re-traited instantly, unlike here. GW1 rules, still play it have 15 characters there, only 1 here.

If you read the whole thing you would see that guilds can gain access to spawning the big bosses any time as long as he isn’t about to spawn within an hour anyways….

Not enough experience with the timing yet to form a comprehensive opinion, but I will say this. I logged in to a character parked near the Frozen Maw to see the Sholar Brogun escort was just starting. Followed him until the idol was destroyed, then he just … walked away. Sad days.
Yeah VERY STUPID rework of the WBs to leave the pre-events up that USED TO signal the eminent arrival of said WB only to see it’s not so, these pre-event SHOULD HAVE been put on the same timers as the new schedule, very poor design on that part.

The Champ Trains were a exploiting a flaw in the game, period. A.Net could ban people because it is against the EULA to knowingly exploit a flaw and not report it. Rather than do the that, they closed that flaw.
No loss at all!

Don’t you guys get it? I remember when they stated that they were content with champion trains (clearly not) and they had no intents on changing. Anet did this this because they want more people to purchase gems to convert to gold. It’s not that complicated of an issue. They deployed the “inflation” smoke screen and boy have you guys just lived up to their expectations. Time to wake up from your deep slumber and realize that they just want more mulah from you.
How about this idea. Removing the cost of trait changes & armor repairs (armor repairs being clearly more significant), also removed a big Gold sink, which means they need to tone down the money you gain. Seems Logical no?
And they did that by nerfing (again) gold from champ boxes. There was no need for an additional nerf on top of this.

I think the most stupid thing about the new spawn timing is that PRE-EVENTS that ran signaling the start of bosses to come still run at their prescribed times only to not have the boss spawn because they either forgot to put these pre-events on the same newly designed timers or did this only to purposely further alienate people from doing them. Totally befuddles me.

The whole “because waypoints!” argument rings flat.
There are plenty of games that have both mounts and quick travel. One doesn’t preclude the other.
Of those games I have seen that had both, there are few and far between quick travel points with HUGE maps making the use of mounts feasable, but, in GW2 there are WPs almost every 100 yards(a bit of an exaggeration but valid) with TINY maps making mounts not feasable or needed.

I would prefer expanding the TP, so GW2 is a complete free market.
So no more soulbound or account bound items in the game fullstop. Everything and I mean everything can be bought and sold on the trading post.
I’m all for removing the TP and letting us EARN our goods while PLAYING THE GAME, get rid of the gem store too.
You do realise your asking for GW2 to be shutdown don’t you, ie no more game fullstop…
As I told another respondant GW1 did/does just fine for the past 7 years without a TP and gem store and with 10,000% better looking fully stat’ed armor/weapons(not lame skins) that you ACTUALLY EARNED just by playing the game, no RIPP-OFF TP and GEM STORE.

I’d like to see you even TRY to elaborate on that, just too LUDICROUS, grabs popcorn.
No reason to elaborate. it is pretty straight foreward english. The devs don’t want ground mounts, those of us that do not want ground mounts need no other reason than " we do not want them."
Even if it takes One Iota of energy to add them…. it is still One iota too much effort. Until you give compelling reasons for the devs to add mounts.
You have not given any compelling reasons. Therefore… any energy… even an erg…. is too much energy for the addition of ground mounts to this game.
I must be on a dislexic episode, I could have sworn it said the opposite of what I’m reading now, I am AGAINST MOUNTS as well, sorry, carry on.

each armor, including heavy, medium, and light for EACH race would have to work with the horse model, which does not exist.
I never once said they would have to redo armor.
?
I am not entirely sure what you are missing. I never said armor would be redone for the mount. The mount model, however, would have to work with every race’s armor (light, medium, and heavy) to avoid clipping, which is already an issue. (Look at Charr armor, for instance).
Not once did I state that any armor would have to be redone. Maybe you should squeeze a few language courses into your studies.
So, in other words, you said major work would need to be done on already completed armor models (read your own post)… Because I can tell you not only would armor not have to be ‘redone’, there would not need to be any work on any armor models at all.
I am honestly surprised you managed to write an Abraham Lincoln quote without misquoting him. Go back and read my post, which you so obviously love to bring attention to. Never do I say that armor needs to be edited. Quite the opposite, actually. What I was saying was that the mount model would have to reflect a wide variety of armor types. Making the mount work for each unedited armor type per race would be difficult to make aesthetically pleasing.
This has nothing to do with changing already existing armor, which you decided to fabricate in your first reply. (Go back and read the thread, as you advised me to do).
And if you are going to pretend you are literate enough to quote a historical leader, at least pretend you pulled your head out of the sand long enough to read my post as well, the next time you decide to misquote me.
And again arguing a semantical choice of words (on both your part for saying ‘armor’, and mine for saying ‘redo’) rather than actually defending what you said on the issue. Simple fact is, adding mounts would not require the work you claimed it would have, and you don’t know that because you don’t know anything concerning the subject at all.
This argument (the actual argument, not your nitpicking about vocabulary) can be solved simply. Explain the exact technical limitations which would prevent mounts from being added if you are able. If not, then you do not know what you are talking about, and as I said, should try actually addressing the subject in a context you are capable of instead of acting as if you know something you do not in order to protect your wounded pride and irrational hatred of the subject at hand.
This is a Ludicrous argument. Saying that " Unless you can state exactly what work is necessary to have mounts added to the game you cannot say how hard it would be to do."
You Know, I cannot say How to pilot a plane , from the Moment the doors are closed at one airport, until passangers are disembarked at their destination either. That doesn’t mean I cannot say that " Piloting a 777 is hard."
A player doesn’t have to be abl to state the exact steps needed to add mounts to say " adding mounts would be hard." But… adding mounts doesn’t have to be hard.
See this is another form of invalidating anti-mount arguments.
Since the devs have stated that it is NOT their intent to include ground mounts at this time, and since a LOT of the player base agrees with the devs. All we have to prove is… and PLEASE Pay attention:
" ADDING MOUNTS TO THE GAME IS HARDER THAN …NOT ADDING MOUNTS TO THE GAME."
Which is absurdly simple. If even one “Man-second” of work is required to add mounts it is harder than leaving the game exactly as it is.
I’d like to see you even TRY to elaborate on that, just too LUDICROUS, grabs popcorn.

Why would you need to be rewarded for it in the first place?
Alpha-testing something would suggest you actually care and like the product, and thus making the product better would be more than enough reward.
Does this explain how so many bugs make it through to live patches?
[Edit] Okay, now that I have the (well earned) snark out of the way… In CoH, they had a couple of Beta servers. People played on them freely for various reasons, and there was generally a good back and forth with the Devs about what was going on there. Some did it to improve the game. Some to get a handle on upcoming changes. Some, because they simply liked the challenge of breaking things without the down side of doing it on the live servers (where it might mess up their real characters).
Give us a server to test on, and people will find reasons to do it. Not everyone, not even a majority, but enough that you’ll get more testing and feedback than you’ll ever get from “in house” testing.
The poster you are replying to is talking about the entitlement to rewards mindset of some for ALPHA or BETA testing additions/changes, not voicing against testing.

You give us great bags from Champions that can contain exotic crafting materials, some fairly decent weapons, and…………wait for it…….5-slot bags.
Why? What possible use are 5-slot bags? At least make them 8-slot so they would actually be useful for a starting character.
They only vendor for 4c and don’t go for anything on the TP. Why on earth are these offered as a reward?

I don’t know Marriner’s Horn is pretty bad. People used to stand around banks and TPs and just spam the most obnoxious note possible. Then they gave us the slider to turn down the volume of musical instruments or off completely. Then the spamming stopped for the most part, or maybe it didn’t. I don’t know because I have them turned off since day one of the update. 
It was a welcome feature IMO.

Can you explain then why people’s accounts are seemingly cursed, and other’s, seemingly blessed? Farm as much as you like, I don’t care, you clearly don’t farm on the same server as I do. People get lucky, yes… and for some reason, they get a lot luckier than others. Not just once.
I get named exo’s from the forge, and that’s as far as it goes. I’ll occasionally get an exo drop (not like the reward chest I mentioned earlier), but that’s as far as it goes. Like I mentioned in my last post which you seem to have glossed over, this is possibly the most stupid RNG mechanic I’ve ever seen in any game. Brutally simplistic retorts don’t help anyone, and are far from productive.
Because RNG is RNG? I really don’t think you understand how statistics and chance work.
Actually you don’t understand how RNG works. Mathematically randomness is never completely random. If you believe otherwise it’s you who need to return to statistics class and learn what the greats have already discovered, there’s always a slant one way or another.
I continued to see reports of this happening after they revamped the magic find system, and supposedly found the 9 month long bug in their loot system. They haven’t fixed it in the least and in fact promise to make things worse with some of their updates if they don’t act soon enough when this launches this month.
True randomness is a figment of the imagination. RNG is RNG. Bugs are another thing, but I must not read the right forums cause I don’t know of anything to that point.
Then you haven’t been playing long or you don’t read the forums much, there was a bug/discrepency found in the RNG/loot table approximately a year ago that was reported by the devs here in the forums and was supposedly addressed, but, I DON’T THINK SO. RNG may be RNG to you, but, to some it’s a conspiracy.
