GW2 pve is a co-operative environment. Any form of dps meter is divisive, as evidenced in this thread. I don’t see how these polar ends can be reconciled, and imo a dps meter would be used to get rid of ‘bads’ instead of educating them, cos u know- a elitists’ time is more important than anyone elses…

I have yet to see a serious need for cooperation beyond picking people up off the ground in most team fights, whether they’re against bosses in dungeons or just events in the world.

You said these players can disable it for themselves, but the real issue is that other party
Don’t get me wrong, it might also encourage a lot of people to try and get better at the game, myself included, but it’s the harassment factor which prevents this function from being included. Maybe if the person who doesn’t want such function would have the option to disable it and that in turn would also disable their data being seen by other party members would solve that issue but then people would probably kick you if they couldn’t see your data in dungeons/fractals because they would be uncomfortable/assume you’re a bad player.

It wouldn’t solve anything. We will just see a “Recount enabled” demand on LFG.

This is the very thing I hate in games like this.

why though? It can help you improve ur skills

Because I primarily play MMO’s for immersion and exploration.

I improve my skills through practice – not spreadsheets.

Pretty sure you just ignored the concept of an on/off toggle so you had something to complain about.

That said, I’m not entirely certain a DPS meter would really be of any use here, as aggro seems to just be based on giving a boss a whole bottle of nodoz and seeing who they swing at next.

Working as intended. They don’t want to handle trade scams.

I fail to see how anyone can get legitimately scammed when trading comes down to “put things in this box, look at them, look at what the other party has put in the box, ready up if you agree, changing anything unreadies both parties”. Not reading item names/paying attention is your own fault.

Fault or not, people are tired, people have been drinking, people are distracted by real life. They have insomnia, they’re on medication..there’s a whole plethora of reasons why someone might make that mistake.

The fault is always with the scammer. If people didn’t scam, it wouldn’t matter.

Oops, I bought something on the TP that I didn’t mean to because I was drunk/tired/medicated/whatever, it’s clearly not my fault and the TP is a bad design.

EDIT: It’s also worth noting that just because the option to trade directly exists, there’s nothing forcing you to use it if you find it too risky. I miss the direct interaction and haggling that system offers. Being asked to craft something for someone and getting a tip out of it is nice; makes craft skills feel useful rather than just a means to creating end-game gear for your own characters.

This happened five times in the last hour for me, all in Sparkfly Fen.

Assertion: CharMotion has invalid matrix

Curiously, no log file.

How to request serial key status?

I initially purchased a GW2 key from an unauthorized reseller. It was apparently purchased fraudulently, and my account was suspended. I’ve asked them for a refund, and they’ve asked for proof that the serial I purchased was deactivated for that reason – a perfectly logical request, as from their point of view I could have just decided I wanted my money back on a single-use, consumable item and lied through my teeth about the deactivation. Whether or not it turns out that they’re a legit retailer, I’d rather just go the simple route at the moment and play nice with them. Can always do a chargeback or some such later on.

How should I go about getting direct confirmation that a specific serial key applied to my account has been deactivated due to having been purchased fradulently?

Edited for clarity.
