When are the developers going to modify the very draconian limit to mailing people?
It’s fairly amusing that I am more likely to get banned for mailing contest and lottery prizes to guildmates than spammers who know the exact parameters or have multiple accounts to spread their distribution across or to parachute into.
As far as I can tell, the only people obstructed are legitimate players. This goes for map chat spam since they just add random letters to their messages when commanders are more likely to repeat the same message to avoid confusion.
When they are ready.

The only place GW2 has failed is in the heads of those complaining and not offering constructive criticism. I have my reservations on many areas of the game but it has far from failed.

I really wish they would just leave these items in the gem store . I know they want to make money and I’m willing to buy , but they have to give me some time to buy their items .
I don’t see why they don’t just leave them on there either unless it is to encourage people to use RWM instead of waiting to trade gold for gems. I got the pick axe at the end of the sale. The character I put it on has been on the shelf because at the time I was new and wasn’t sure which character I would use much. I’m still not I like the pick axe and would have them on all my alts if I had the opportunity. The sickle is okay, but I decided it I didn’t want it enough for all alts. Plus I have a horrible time seeing the plant nodes on the mini map because I’m color blind so I do very little plant harvesting unless the plant is right in my face.
IMO they should be a permanent item on the gem store AND BE account bound, greed should only go so far, if at all.

The auto-loot option has been in for some time. What was added is the AOE auto-loot and with it you must be within a certain distance from said loot(s) which is 900([900 what I have no clue).

Yes please, I cringe when I need/want a stack or more of something from a vendor. Can I send the bill for a dead mouse that was clicked to death to ANET?

To add to this, the “so called” expansions worth of temporary free content is a rip off to gamers who just purchased the game that will/may not ever see this content, wouldn’t/shouldn’t they be entitled to this content as well, or, do they intend on repeating this content down the road for them, if so that’s good for them, but, what about the old GW2 players, they will be forced to repeat it too(not very much fun here IMO), double edged sword there. IMO, they(ANET) should be polishing the current content and working on new content(a full expansion) that I and I’m sure many others would rather have and be running out to buy.
Actually it’s not a rip off. You bought a game with enough content to cover $60 many many times over. If you never got another update, it would already be worth $60. You’re not paying a monthly fee. It’s not pay to win. Even people who say they don’t like the game still say they got 300-400 hours. I can’t name too many games that will give you that kind of return on your initial investment.
For those who follow the game, those who play ever day, the temporary content gives us something to do. I’m not paying for it, and those who don’t play the game but bought it…they’re not paying for it either. Cash shop sales are paying for it. RNG boxes are paying for it.
Maybe you shouldn’t use words like rip off. Maybe you should just say you don’t like it, because once you used those words, you’ve lost a whole lot of credibility.
Shakes head, Vayne, Vayne, Vayne. -LOL I’m not saying I was ripped off but the new/future buyers because they will never see this story-line progression and aren’t RPGs whether an MMO or single-player all about the story-line.
I actually like GW2 because of its potential and my being a GW junkie, I’m just miffed because this isn’t like ANET, I just feel like they are now puppets to NCsoft and not being allowed to do what they actually really want to do with GW2.

After 11 wipes on first run, 3 broken pieces, a quitting party, and lots of laughs, THANKS! (no sarcasm). I havent been able to get past the first boss yet but im loving this dungeon, IT BETTER STAY! This thing is fun! Finally challenging content that isnt gated by guild members count!
Sadly the new dungeon is temporary content, but, the silly new JP to be added soon is going to be permanent, go figure.

You hit the proverbial nail on the head. When I hear someone cal their character a toon I instantly think they been playing “Toontown” or “WoW” since they are cartoonish. I have always called my character just that a character and I have been gaming since the 70s.

And this is why I don’t bother doing Jormag unless someone tells me it’s on 2nd phase.
The time you spend on Jormag you could be doing other quick metas, such as wurm, golem, FE or Maw.
Play smart.
I agree with this, but, usually all the others pop before Claw even has a thought of showing with the hour 15 minute spawning window, so, I usually farm the ADs and surrounding area for better drops than you get from killing Claw. Bass ackwards wouldn’t you think? I do Claw and other events only for the Karma, my main playstyle is a lowly solo farmer.

How many players were there for this? Estimate, was it a handful or the usual 20+?
The usual 20+, also, when Claw goes to phase 2 he is miraculously healed to 100% having to grind him back down, the terrain was also changed, I would assume to give us a harder time with him, but, you know what they say about assumptions.

I don’t agree with this. IMO, they should spend the time on fixing the multitude of glitches/bugs and broken content and creating future EXPANSIONS. The only thing spurts of temporary content does is break current content as evidenced by every update that has been done since release.

They’ve needed to follow the trends of other mmo’s in loot for a long long time now, it’s not just problems with the rewards system it’s a poor design to use the 2004 Bind to Character system.
They need to use the more modern Bind on Account especially since they don’t offer things like Profession Change items in their store. Seriously.
They don’t need to do anything like that, especially profession change.
Yes they need to make all items account bound over soulbound and nowhere does he say they should have “profession” changing. Troll much?

If they actually sold some really good looking armor sets like Marjory’s or Kashmeer’s armor in the gem store I’d gladly support them by buying those armors.
However, I cannot justify spending money to support them when they put out armor skins like these new Aetherblade ones. In my opinion, the Aetherblade armor skins look like goofy costumes straight out of some low budget B-class fantasy movie from the 80’s, which is about the last thing I’d wear on my norn character.
I’m sure there is an audience for costumes like this though, since after all opinions are opinions. But I think that they are awful and certainly not worth 800 gems.
+1. They should bring the GW1 armors and weapons to GW2, they were 100X better than the garbage for armor/weapons in GW2.

Potion of Karka Toughness – From what I can see, the only way to get that now is playing Crab Toss (since the Southsun Economist and Supply Crates aren’t around anymore). Unsure how this is P2W.
Can’t really argue about the other one, although I fail to see how you ‘win’ by having it. Can it be used in SPvP?
Supply crates ARE still available, I get at least 1 every day depending on how long I farm Southsun.
Still chance of a weapon ticket in those?
I have no clue about the ticket sorry.

Oh it is happening, slowly but surely. We aren’t talking direct gem store pay to win, we are just talking it’s gon be expensive, but if you have the gold you gon get better.
Really, I would have stripped the Sigil from the item with a BLSK and put Sigil in the Legendary so as to not lose the Legendary status of the item. Either way item with the Sigil will be consumed without losing the Sigil.
