Yeah It’s “terrible design” but it’s designed to be terrible. You should have to put up with some terrible stuff in order to get something worth getting. A terrible grind, terrible cost, terrible luck. The fact that some pukes are whining about it means it’s working.

If you hate it, don’t do it.

I am going to complain my kitten off.

SiNoS.2147:

Well i pride myself in knowing every recipy i can. So at the very least im leveling to 500 and working on getting one of each recipy/item. Got a lot of work ahead of me but frankly this is how i like to play the game.

Yeah I did that wasted a lot of time and mats getting almost all exotic recipes, and hey out of the blue, you gotta to relearn them, but you get xp, chuckle, chuckle, chuckle.

Insulting.

As I can read we have two groups. One group who thinks this is a grind game and another group who doesn’t think this is a grind game since they already have what group 1 wants. Hmmm, people can be so strange and false informed. As far as I can see is that people just love to complain and that Anet can do nothing good except when it’s exactly what they had in mind. Yes, sadly we are that spoiled. There is grind in GW 2 but not required to do to get something. If you just play the game for fun you can get everything. It might take a little longer but you can get it. Prizes will drop and you can buy it from the TP or be lucky enough to get it while playing. What I am saying is, doing be a spoiled brat that only had to pay 50 €/$ or so to play a game that gets a lot of new updates for FREE! Lots of other games cost as much and you are done with it after 25 hours… There are going to be changes you like and don’t like. And yes share your opinion about it but please with less drama.

Yes. I am spoiled. ENTERTAIN ME. That’s what I paid for. That’s what will keep me buying gems in the gem store. Do a kitten jig, sing a song, make flashy graphics.

Why would anyone except anything less from a hobby?

Exactly. Just a quick friendly reminder to people who come from facebook moneygrabbers or asian grinders, a game is an entertainment product. How on earth can someone who wants an entertainment product to be fun be called spoiled anyway? Want me to play longer? Want me to pay? Give me game, not this kitten.

Amen.

Babies? No the decision makers are babies. I don’t even want a pre. Used to want legendaries. But I played like a legendary, so thats what counts. Not some mean spirited old codger who wants me to grind all day.

Of course it was intended, its double the previous price. Whereas before it was prohibitive now its just stupid.

You kittened up.

They didn’t just drop the ball, they dropped the ball into a sink of a sink of a sink.

I don’t if I should bother commenting anymore seeing as everything has become a sink of a sink. And rather insulting.

Stack in ac, skip skelk, stack kholer. The game has gotten really lame since the cof alt token cancellation. Basically forget about movement skill and spacing and stand still in a stack of amalgamated toons till boss is dead. No reason to use alt and enjoy the game as you would like to. Its all work, work, work to get a stupid overpriced precursor skin to get a legendary. WTH!

create demand, create value, create more demand, stifle happiness, next game.

where are my alt tokens?

how about a going out of business sign instead.

More champs everywhere and lessen the healthbars of the minions. Too long.

Farming really sucks now, aethers appear only late in the event. WTH! The maps are boring without the farming.

MF is part of the rng philosophy of drops. I wouldn’t mind having a guaranteed drop from everything if it was going out of the picture. Though it is semi/broken as it stands now and the same old loot just cycles through. Not having MF does take away some depth from the game with not having the option of devoting a pve armor set to it, or a chance of some old but better loot.

So any word on COF alt tokens?

Maybe you should sell different versions of the game. One for people who want to enjoy it, and another for people who don’t.

This game is going down the tubes, I haven’t had time to be upset about karma changes nor do I want to as it was once a month thing with max boosts to get them. Once a month. But what about COF ALT TOKENS? Absolutely destroyed cof, with that decision, ruined the fun of playing the game for rewards, and really caused me to be greatly distressed.

Not at all happy with your decisions. And now mf is going out of the picture too whats the point of a 2nd suit of armor or even a third then. Some real boneheaded calculations going on here.

Its stupid and they are sabotaging their game with this decision. But sometimes you have to do sound forensic tests before the truth is reflected in your bottom line.

I was going to buy something I missed buying last halloween the mad kings outfit for costume brawl that would have been a guaranteed sale. Along with some character slots down the road like I dont have a norn female but this change is so boneheaded its sapping my enjoyment.

Well if your mom dropped you on your head as a child thats not exactly something I can solve for you.

But the rest of us want a reward and incentive to play more not the opposite.

I just find this so lame. They should be account bound cause I don’t like the zerg choo choo in the pavillion and I already farmed it enough for all the ap. Plus I like trying an alt as I was stuck on deadeye passed him with mesmer. Now got chomper and my playstyle as ranger is not about stopping a dog from getting its meat. Would like to try with an alt but need to farm more tickets. What a waste of time.

Well I could play Wall Street Raider or Capitalism II if I wanted to do tp all day. And yes I want good rewards cause whats the point of playing the game otherwise. I need loot to function. Good loot not zerg choo choo loot, not white drops, and pres and legendaries to start dropping.

Where am I going to get my 22g a week I am losing atm? I haven’t a clue myself. :O

We have dailies as a baseline of doing something daily. We have alts to enjoy more loot and we should get more loot. I have 8 toons in 8 professions I would like to use them with full rewards on tokens, gold and anything else that is rewarding.

But I was playing cof p1 with ranger/mesmer/elemental/warrior. Its a different experience playing with different skills. And thats only two runs each. Plus grind made me better playing them.

The prices of skins are so astronomical how else would I get a legendary when for the best ones the cost is 1500g. Let alone several. I would have been done in several years anyway. And then theres always another dye or musical instrument or mini whose base cost is 30g. It really is a job playing an mmo.

It would have been ten runs of cof p1 in a months time as I would have leveled my thief thru daily achievement.

What happened is for 2 runs of cof p1, i would get 60 tokens then 20 for each toon. So around 90 tokens per toon with bag drops. With 8 runs thats 360 tokens. Now they have been nerfed to a daily account bound chest of 40 and 20 once daily is done. Thats
200 tokens total for 8 runs.

Now doing only 2 runs and 270 tokens less. Which is 9 rares and with good rng 6 ectos thats about 1.2g plus 1.4g per 2 runs per toon so losing 5.4g per day. Positive 1g added drop from patch so only losing 4.4g per day. Thats 22g lost over a week if I did cof 8 runs per day for 5 days.

So yeah I am dissapointed. Plus its easier to find group for dungeons that are short, and sweet with their visual style the colors in cof p1 are amazing on the end boss.

I wonder why this formula is not replicated for other dungeons and they are seemingly a pain to do with their length or difficulty. Heck reskin cof p1 and add it to the others. Still most likely would prefer visuals of cof p1.

Anyways trying to have the game make sense to me again.

Cof tokens can thru rares be turned into ectos and those can be salvaged to dust. This is why I myself am not happy at all with this decision on token drops for alts. Its a monumental fail.

I am disappointed with this update. What happened with cof tokens for alts is inexcuseable and deeply distressing. I was working at a rate toward my legendaries for ectos and dust and now its been halved. My four leveled and geared 80s can’t enjoy defeating their favorite enemy every day. My piece of mind with leveling a new toon on dailies is gone due to the distress caused by much fewer tokens, playing has become difficult. I would run other dungeons and help other players too after doing my eight runs of cof p1. Now, my zen and goodwill has been sapped by this egregious decision.

There are many other minor tidbits that i also don’t like but the first with the tokens is titanic. I don’t think I can carry on playing because I am deeply distressed and effected by this as a regular player who is just trying to get his legendaries. Rewards are coping mechanisms and having them removed is disheartening and sadistic, thus I just don’t feel like I can enjoy the game any longer. I want a dev to come on here and say there there everything is going to be alright but I feel like I just suffered a major concussion.

ps
The bank is not a bank when i can’t store gold in there and i enjoyed that little nuance of depositing gains.

Same thing. I remember several occassions where I had just completed a heart-vendors quest and want to check out their inventory. And someone aggros a monster and then leaves the area. Give me invulnerabilty if I am out of combat for a minute. I want to check out the inventory not fight the monster again till I feel like it.

Again I was at Tequatl. It was empty. I was in the most south-eastern corner of the map. Elevated on a ships prow. There were undead around me but they were not interested until two players strolled my way. Game mechanics should protect me from morons.

It should not matter where I am or what I am doing, pause after a minute. I respect if the game kicks me out for being afk 10 minutes. But this is making me livid.

I have thought of doing exactly that but thought it would be too weird these days when we have videos in news pages auto-playing.

Think of it as a pause button for the player only the pause takes effect if you are not in combat and standing still for a minute. If I can’t alt-tab and enjoy my time or check in on someone then whats the point of “playing”, during down time.

Rewarding me? I think there is something lost in the translation from the dictionary. More like respecting me by being neutral and not allowing my toon death for no reason.

Oh really for that “day”, I would have you know I ran COE 4 times with elites, pug fractals twice with noobs one of which was sniping at me the whole time, and did two world events prior. I also half-heartedly tried to corner the market on mini-ettins, lost 8 gold for my mistake and donated them to my guild instead. I would have logged off at the time i saw the body of my toon dead. Instead I logged off in a rage because of the way I was treated.

Well I don’t accept it. If this isn’t changed maybe I will find a game that treats me better instead and knows how to set the bar.

I am perched on a ships prow at 1 am on Tequatl, there is no one else around, haven’t been in combat for 5 min plus and checked on it a couple of times in between. And let see if it was primetime, should I or anyone else be precluded from doing the event just because they are afk but are afk within reason.

I see as a child you weren’t taught any manners.

As an elementalist we only have light armor and in some cases especially when fighting veterans we should be able to easily kill them but instead if we dont use our most powerful attack get killed by our poor exotic light armor.

Good work on finally giving elementals an underwater elite skill.

I propose that if a player is standing still and not in combat for over a minute they should be automatically invincible until they move again. I dislike it if I am waiting for a world boss getting killed for no reason by someone who brings the aggro to me. I may be alt tabbed as well reading news or watching a music video, etc.

Please give us an option to turn off lava animation on this pickaxe as it could become very annoying down the road.

An option like making backpack visible invisible. A simple tick checkbox.

My record is plays alot. I don’t care.

Lets examine that sentence which is exactly what I am complaining about.

“It seems that you’re in favor of you having money, but not of others to be able to.”

It is a game. I should be able to get more cool things for less, especially when I have been around a while. I am not even going to argue that with anyone. Ever.

I have a very healthy skeptical outlook on most of these items selling and I am just mainly griping about the cost of the components and the thought put into their quantities. And what skill points grow on trees. Three skill points for dust transmuting at 4.5g for tier 6.

There should be a separate achievement stat just for skill points acquired not just how many I have on me. I am complaining because I want to feel important, I want to have gold and skill points reflecting my importance, not just my achievement score. Lower prices or dish out more gold. I want to feel important in-game.

Obviously I am not even going to bother with a legendary till rng blesses me with all its might. And then we can distill that in another thread, with the paper cuts from my axe on shades from Grenth.

The alternative is to lower the costs because if I am logging in to do my six world events a day, and a couple of dungeons, and daily it just becomes repetitive focusing on loot so much to get a better looking item and a gold balance of zero.

Is it subjective? Take a look at the component cost. Calculate how much time you think it will take for all those.

The mystic forge transmuting costs just for dust?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge

I wasn’t talking about the gem store. I was meant to talk about the overpriced items on the tp and their overpriced components, and overpriced transmuting mats in mystic forge.

I meant to talk about how a fellow with my record in the game has so little spending power because everything has been jacked up irrationally.

This was a good game now its just a grind. Cash really should be irrelevant at some point.

Group with people and get armor with toughness so you can do more events faster and do all the low level zones first.

Currently button 4 of the staff for elemental activates Burning Retreat. Which is…

“Quickly roll backward, leaving behind a line of fire that burns.”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Burning_Retreat

I suggest switching the buttons on staff with Lava Font. Which is…

“Make lava erupt from the target area.”

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lava_Font

I suggest this because when I am frantically trying to rez myself, button 4. Often I activate Burning Retreat without wanting to and end up putting myself in a dangerous situation and down again for no reason.

Please switch the buttons for the two skills on the staff to make our lives easier. Thanks.

Don’t forget Ash and Whispers stealth kits which had no cool down and needed to last longer in a few circumstances in the dredge fractal. You are not exploiting the game merely trying to enjoy it in a different way using items that are readily available in game for very little karma or gold. These items make the game more fun and unique and people more creative, giving them incentive to play more times and perhaps in a different way.

Yeah thats not fair then I too would like another 10 laurels for having done both.

I agree there should be an option to turn off titles as if I did turn names of completely I could not see my guild mates. And its just redundant reading anyway as I will usually click on a toon if I need more info.

Capes, wings and a jet pack for the engineer.
