You had no idea what the word “unique” meant? Dictionaries are usually awesome tools for understanding words.
I had no idea what that meant in GW2 terms no. A standard dictionary wouldn’t have told me what I needed to know.
So when seeing this strange new marking, it never occurred to you to look it up before making the purchase?
Since this mistaken purchase was entirely your fault and no fault of the product, your refund is 4 silver and 95 copper after restocking fees. Thank you, have a nice day.
You don’t get to make that ruling but I understand that some people will see it that way.
I just don’t see why they can’t refund the laurels. It can’t be that complicated. We can argue all day about what ought or ought not be in a game or what terms should or shouldn’t be used. This is not my first MMO and I’ve never seen this term used before.
Maybe some day they will become account-bound and you can give it to another character? Or is it account-bound yet?
Rings are already both Account Bound & Soulbound on Equip. The OP probably equipped both rings, thus soulbinding them (and thus making a second mistake).
I dont have another character to give it to so it doesn’t matter.
I imagine that there will be two basic viewpoints. One is that the onus of responsibility falls on the user; buyer beware.
The other viewpoint will be something similar to mine.
I don’t really care which of the two viewpoints readers take and I’m not going to argue with people about why mine is better or worse, that’s a matter of opinion.
I’m just hoping that people who didn’t know will read this and not make the mistake I just made.
I have opened a ticket for this issue and I really hope Anet will help me out here. I would be happy to receive a refund and buy the other ring or simply have the rings swapped out.
Today I spent 70 laurels to get two ascended cleric rings for my elementalist. I bought two of the same ring because I wanted both to have the defensive utility slot. I did not know that I couldn’t wear two of the same ring and now I have one ring I cannot use. Why is there no warning about this? Nothing in game told me I needed to get two different rings. That’s several weeks of doing dailies for nothing. I think there should be a warning in game or something so that people don’t have to find this kind of thing out the hard way. Thanks for reading.
I know that not everyone will agree with me on this but I feel that this tier is better off with three competitive servers rather than just two even if that means that SoR can beat BG. Complete blowouts or two way matches just aren’t as much fun as a solid three way match where theoretically anyone could win. Right now I think JQ is still too strong for SoR and BG but I’m hoping that in the future more transfers into t1 will balance out the equation.
I agree with the OP. I don’t believe WvW is the place for developing skill for the reasons he mentioned.
Most of what I’ve learned about pvp in this game has been in spvp/tpvp and I’ve just ported that knowledge over into WvW.
I’d probably be a much better GW2 player if I skipped WvW entirely but I haven’t been able to get into spvp/tpvp for more than a week or two at a time.
WvW is easier and I get more stuff for doing it so that’s where I tend to play but I always feel like I’m a worse overall player for having done so.

I don’t see what I stand to gain by joining SoR. All the guilds that I used to want to play with seem to have disappeared. I think I saw Laudanum on FA and I hardly see Caora Dhubh (sp?) anymore. Tempest Wolves would be more interesting to me if they ran 5 mans but that doesn’t seem to be their thing. There’s one guild called CAPS that’s always impressed me but that’s about it right now.
Happy home allows growth. Stability is the most important thing for longevity.
Different people find happiness in different things, that’s what I’ve been trying to say.
I’ve been happy playing on BG for months now. I’m still playing here even though I usually can’t find fights that fit my playstyle. I’ve sacrificed my own personal progression just to stay on BG. I’m a worse player for having spent so much time trying to participate in these big zerg fights with SoR and JQ and KN. But I’ve still done it because I’ve felt a strong sense of loyalty to a community that doesn’t feel like a family.
Quite frankly, I pity you. Every night I log on and have absolute certainty of laughing until I cry, gaining 200-300 badges, and being part of an amazing community of hundreds of people from around the world.
Blackgate, in all seriousness, you need to drop down a tier or two and regroup. We don’t want any of your guilds, we want you to galvanize as a server. Form a real community, work with each other to develop strategies, lose the kitten-talking fairweathers and come back.
We’ll be waiting.
Your condescension irks me but whatever.
You assume that everyone wishes their server community was like yours. That seems so arrogant to me.
I don’t think Blackgate has a family vibe and I’ve always liked that about the place. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed for as long as I have win or lose. No one ever asks Riot to do anything. No one expects anything from me or the people I play with. I like that.
I want to play on a server full of people who just want to kill people in video games. I want to play with people who don’t want to zerg. I don’t want an online family. If you do that’s fine but know that not everyone is like you.
SoR doesn’t discriminate in who it takes points from.
I believe you but I don’t think any particular server has to actively discriminate against any other server for the “2v1” meta to develop although I think active discrimination from just one server could be sufficient to bring it about.
I can give you an example of what I’m talking about if you want.
You make no sense. We always play to win and we always play for first.
I could just as easily accuse BG of playing for second because you constantly hit our objectives, forcing us to stop fighting JQ to come and deal with you. It would be quite legitimate… of course it is only a small part of the bigger picture.
Perspective, try getting some.
I think we have been playing for second.
Or to hang on to second I should say.
I don’t think anyone on BG thinks we’re in a position to beat JQ right now. The problem is that we hold the second position which means that both SoR and JQ have reason to try and pull points away from us but not necessarily one another.
Honestly I feel like Smokee leaving has been a way bigger deal than Agg or FoE leaving no disrespect to either guild but HB carried BG imo. Hardly see them anymore.
It’s necessarily true that human action and coordination creates what we call the “zerg.”
But I would argue that the incentives created by the game structure encourage that particular action by making it the most efficient way of achieving numerous in-game goals.
What did your community do with FOE and Agg? If you have a tight community they won’t leave no matter what. Win or lose, its about the community. Moral lesson: Don’t fkin pay guilds to transfer, do not buy any guilds. Don’t even show them gold.
Win or lose it’s about the community to you. That’s what you value most not everyone is like you.

“If your goal is to convince me to accept that amount of data as being sufficient grounds to form an actual opinion then yes I’d say you’re wasting your time.”
Actually I was replying to some baseless comments from BG players like the ones above and you decided to respond…
It is funny you find the data provided insufficient and yet by responding you decide to defend your fellow BG’s making comments like the ones above, without any data whatsoever…
The choices and actions that we take define us, we live in a world of denial, and we don’t know what the truth is anymore.
I’m not saying that I think the BG people whining about 2v1s are right in their claims. I cannot know for sure either way but I think there’s another entirely plausible explanation: In a three way fight such as this, the 1st and 3rd place teams both have equal incentive to attack the 2nd place team whenever and wherever they can. Both 1st and 3rd stand to gain more from fighting the 2nd place team than they do each other. That doesn’t mean that 1st and 3rd will never fight it just means that they will both work equally hard to pull points from 2nd. Thus it often feels like we’re being 2v1’d intentionally. If people used their critical thinking skills they’d realize it’s just a rational strategy being employed by rational human beings.
I also think it’s a silly waste of time to complain about losing. I think we should either try to figure out a way to counter what we’re seeing or accept the defeat.
I realize that I’m wasting my time. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
If your goal is to convince me to accept that amount of data as being sufficient grounds to form an actual opinion then yes I’d say you’re wasting your time.
You are arguing with a guy who is arguing with a guy about 2v1. Are you not, by extension, arguing about 2v1 then? If you aren’t, then why respond to the topic at all?
No I’m not arguing about 2v1. I’m simply pointing out that one cannot conclude who fights who more from a 7 minute video. I’ve not stated a position about the 2v1 issue.
All that video demonstrates is that they’ve fought SoR, not necessarily that they’ve fought SoR more than BG. We cannot know from watching that video who they’ve been fighting more. Whether or not the fights they show were the “best” or more “memorable” is irrelevant.
I don’t think we’re going back to t2 but I do think we’re probably going to get knocked down to third place overall pretty soon unless we get more transfers.
Necro will demolish an ele if they are not specced into condition cleansing AND vit. It will chew right through his low health otherwise and the faster output of condis will surpass the clearing cooldowns. I have run into so many condi necros and engis that
I find myself reverting to soldiers amu in spvp over valk/zerk for this reason.
That particular ele build is more of an spvp/tpvp thing. Really don’t see eles running it in WvW.
Conquest mode forces us to fight necros inside little circles. This is problematic given how necro marks and wells work. It’s the game mode more than the class itself that’s the problem imo.
I doubt that. I haven’t tried that build yet but from watching the video I don’t really feel inclined to. But I’m not the only ele out there maybe someone else will find that interesting.
I wouldn’t call necro the natural enemy of d/d ele. Engi can be kinda tough though. Just gotta have enough discipline to not skill spam while confused.
