I don’t think you will have much luck getting your gold back. The TP was never designed as a place for extra storage and that is one of the reasons the fees are there.

Question for long term vets (1 year+)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

Have you done world map completion? Have you done all the jumping puzzles and diving spots? Do you ever take part in the activity mini games? Have you done all the dungeons (including all paths) or are you just grinding the same few that are popular? Have you completed your personal story? One thing I like to do when bored is go to newbie zones and help people out, show them around, take them to jump puzzles and help them with skill points.

12 level 80s in 4 months (going off your post history when you introduced yourself) of playing time indicates you must play a lot unless you craft leveled them. Maybe you just need to take a break for a bit. There isn’t anything wrong with that.

I’ve only skimmed over most of the posts in this thread, because frankly I’ve already considered and discarded the possibility of applying. .

I’m sure I don’t have to recommend that you do not apply, you don’t seem to have a handle on this whole “volunteer” thing.

It is a good thing you didn’t apply because this is the type of response we defiantly don’t need from the forum specialists with their special tags.

Sorry i misread your post. I’m still asking though what anon does. I totally agree, i think that’s why i’m foggy on what these folks do. It’s a fine line to walk and i think they went with a 2X4 to drive home they are wanting to listen to players better using a program. I can almost hear the convo now.

Sorry though, i misread, totally my fault. Or maybe i just mis-qouted? Thanks for pointing it out though

No problem and for the record I’m totally against the entire forum specialist program. I’ve stated this several times but it appears it is going to happen anyway. The last thing this forum needs is a group of people running around feeling like what they say is more important because they have some special title. It will only cause a divide between regular forum members and the “special” forum members. That is why I suggest if Anet insists on going forward with this program they don’t give a special tag to their volunteers. If those that applied for the position are truly invested in helping a title should not matter to them. However, I imagine that many of the applicants volunteered specifically for the title by their name.

I still don’t think the forum specialist should have a title. If your volunteers are truly invested in helping the forum and providing reports there is no reason to give them a title stating they are doing so. All a special title will do is target them. Additionally I don’t think you need forum specialists for the Account & Tech Support forum or the Bug Report forum. Those are two areas that Anet staff should be reviewing regularly without the assistance of a volunteer.

You’re asking for goodies, but why? Should they be anon? I seriously deal with plenty just one my server alone, you might not even know what the massive impact might be…

What?? I’m not asking for anything.

Selling dungeon runs?

JustTrogdor.7892

How is it a scam?

- Selling something you don’t own is fraud.How did these sellers get into the position where they are selling the path anyway? Did the seller secure their position by being the instance owner, almost complete the instance with the help of party and then kick them out?

Again in case you missed it

It is legal. You can only report them for scamming if they sell you a run and don’t deliver. You can always start your own LFG post to find players that are interested in running the dungeon the way you wish to.

Is there really any reason to make public who the forum specialist are since they mostly are there to report back to ANet? I don’t see why someone needs a tag for that. Having a tag opens up possibilities of them being constantly harassed about being white knights and ANet toadies. Imo, it would be better not to have people publicly labeled as being “semi official” when they have no official function other than collate information and report or linking official posts (which anyone can do).

That is a really thought-provoking comment!

What do others feel about this? I’m very interested in feedback on the subject of making specialists public or not.

I agree. A special tag will only invite hostility. If the forum specialists are doing what you want them to do, reply to posts in a helpful nature and give reports to Anet, there is no reason for them to have a special tag. Let them do what they volunteered to do, but putting a label on them will only make them a target.

Naga MMO 2014 vs Logitech G600

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I have to throw in my support for the G600. I bought one over a year ago. It was my first gaming mouse and I found it easy to get used to. The thumb button layout makes it easy to tell which buttons your thumb is on. I don’t even use my keyboard for any of my skills now. I have them all programed to the thumb buttons and weapon swap programed to the middle scroll wheel button. Once I got used to it my game play improved significantly. Also the G600 feels solid unlike other regular mice I’ve had in the past that feel like if you click too hard it will break the mouse.

Other than that, if you have tried all the stuff in the sticky threads I suggest you contact support by following the support link at the top of the page and then the submit a request link.

At one point there was a Mac support forum that recently got merged with this one. There was supposedly a Mac team that were to help with Mac problems but I have not seen them post in a long while.

Forum Slurs- Pledge against them

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

I think the OP is asking that we, as forum members try to avoid using negative labels towards others just because we don’t agree with them. There is nothing wrong with that request. There are several posters here that as soon as their post is seen in a thread people respond with “hater” or “white knight” no matter what they post. Often times people just throw the label out there without even giving feedback to the topic at hand. They just say things like, “Here is the hater/white knight.” They just see the forum posters name and toss out a label. I agree it gets out of hand at times and doesn’t lead to positive discussion.

[Suggestion] Forum Update

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

Valid point, going off of the PvP example,
If Billy.6666 is talking trash and giving bad pvp advice but hes a bunny then you can sort of see whats going on…If he claimed he quit the game 6 months ago or quit pvp 6 months ago then you have validation to prove that bill is just being a troll. (If you pvp even a little bit you wouldn’t be a bunny after a year and a half of the game being out, even under the old rank system) This would fall under the same thing with: Deer, Dolyak and Wolf. For the most part, if he pvpd a lot before quitting the game or pvp 6 months ago, he should have had his rank auto-adjusted to Phoenix or Dragon. Which will give his complaints a little more validation since he played the game mode but will reduce his complain a little since he has not pvpd in a while which in conjunction with your suggestion of a last login date will prove that Billy.6666 if he is a dragon is complaining for the sake of complaining.

Please forgive me because I don’t PvP myself. I tried it once, moaed and then killed someone and got cursed out for the moa. That was enough for me. I do however follow the PvP forum as I find it rather entertaining. It appears to me that the PvP forum community does a pretty good job of policing their own forum. If Joe.1234 talks a lot of garbage or gives really bad advice they are usually corrected by others rather quickly.

I just don’t feel there is a need to add, for lack of a better term, a kitten measuring contest to the forum. (Note I typed kitten and not the curse word )

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

Wouldn’t last log in follow the same issue of pvp rank?
“I quit 6 months ago and hate this game people,”
“i quit playing pvp 6 months ago and hate pvp”

By that I mean, there are a several posters I have seen here that often post how they hate the game and quit X amount of time ago. They keep making that a point whenever they post about a certain issue. Out of curiosity I followed a few of them only to see them online almost every time I am in game. For some reason they try to give their posts more weight by saying they quit when they really did not. It would instill some measure of honesty in forum posters in regards to their current experience with the game. Also, like my other example, if Bob.1234 posts, “This current living story, update, whatever, is terrible” but you see they have not logged since the update it would make it easier to see they are just bashing without having actually experienced it themselves.

I don’t see where that would equate to PvP rank necessarily given what I described.

Aside from road blocks relating to anets technical issues, what is your general opinion on the suggestion?

I tend to disagree. A forum avatar is one thing. I don’t think people should be judged on the forum based on achievement points and other criteria. While I can see your intention where in it would be nice to know if Bob.1234 giving you advice on PvP has a decent PvP track record, I don’t find it necessary. Much like achievement points, there are a lot of people that don’t have a ton of achievement points but they do know a lot about the game and often give great advice/feedback. They just play less but also follow the game closely and are very knowledgeable. I think anytime you get into accomplishment measuring contests in a forum it will just lead to more toxicity.

This is the same reason I don’t support the upcoming forum specialist program. The posters I’m guessing have probably applied have a history of coming off as condescending know it alls that think they are never wrong. I think they only volunteered because if accepted it will make them feel even more important to have that special tile by their name. Let’s face it, the job itself isn’t very appealing, basically doing a bunch of work for Anet for free, but hey you get a special title.

If I were going to add one thing under a poster’s name it would be last login date. This would expose the, “I quit 6 months ago and hate this game people,” that actually still play and for those that are honest it would show this as well. Do you want to take the opinion on the current living story episode from someone that hasn’t logged in for 3 months seriously? That makes more sense to me.

GW2 Tickets for Review (7 days & older)

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: JustTrogdor.7892

JustTrogdor.7892

Bought a copy and tried to register to my email, said the email was in use. Anyway got the account back. Originally I had bought the game long ago and the payment went through on my card. I was able to play for a few days and the card retracted the payment thus getting the account suspended for non pay.

Like I said that was a long time ago and I had honestly forgotten. Anyway there was a place to insert my new cd key on that account so I went ahead and did that. Tried to log in only to come up to “Account suspended” upon login. If I had known any of this was going to happen I would have just used another e-mail address and new account. I even tried making a new account but now that I added the brand new cd key to the old account I get the obvious “cd key in use” Original ticket was 6 days or so ago now.

You need to include your ticket number if you want assistance.

I posted my ticket number in a previous post. The post of mine you quoted was a response to someone else that asked, I just forgot to quote so everyone knew..

Everyone has the same right to voice their opinions on the forum, not just what you want to see. There is nothing wrong with having multiple posts on the same topic. Many people are not satisfied with the direction Anet is taking the game in and how they are handling things. Arguably the biggest problems that GW2 faces today are lack of content and no/poor communication from Anet regarding future content releases, thus many people will complain about it.

Anet merges and closes topics often that are on the same topic or over done. See many of the mount threads. They should merge this one as well but I think the mods are off for the night.

"For all those “We need an expansion asap!”" I don’t see how it was meant to draw in players that don’t want an expansion. Either way, yet another expansion thread.

I’m sure all the people who have been playing since Beta and spent money in the Gem shop but aren’t able to login every day appreciate that Anet doesn’t consider them “Loyal”. I know I do.

You don’t have to log in everyday to stay on the reward schedule. It doesn’t reset if you miss a day or 3, or 5 or 10 days. Under the old system people that could not login everyday didn’t get laurels everyday either.
