They never said that the pre cursor crafting would be cheaper, its just an alt way to get them, the market changes everyday, there is a patch next week that could very well make it that The Lover is cheaper to craft than to buy depending on what mats are needed.
According to this
https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/item/29178-The-Lover
The Lover costs 1100G to craft at the moment, ( if you buy everything ) and around 500-600G to buy outright,
The site also has a break down of each part for each pre cursors, also remember like I said there is a patch next week so the TP flippers will be wanting to slowly push up prices of certain items along with other people who are buying up now to avoid massive price spikes after the patch.
I don’t know. A guy creates a character on day one. Takes four years off, but his character is still there. He’s played the game for one year and gets something like that.
They should do that when someone has played for 10,000 hours or something.
If it was linked to hours played then all the AFK runners who run into walls all day would benefit over real players who actually play.
They should remove the cap, like its been said before, caps in a game like this are bad, anything that halts/stops progression is bad, AP is about personal achievement not what someone else has done,
I think the bigger issue is that people have started using AP in the LFG as a way of skill, AP doesn’t show skill, it shows time played, ive met some players in game with under 3k AP that have exceptional skill in the game, and other players with 25k who sucked,
Anet need to remove cap, and hide AP in game, its not important to show others what AP you have as its a personal thing.
Im about 60 days out from cap, then I wont bother after that, its clear anet doesn’t want my investment in the game by capping me for playing, they are halting my progression in AP points so that causal/newer players who will never catch me, think they can catch me, anet have ignored every post about this topic for the last year, I know several players who are all within the last 60-100 days until cap who will also stop playing, it will be back to log in every 2 weeks for patch log out and play another game.
You can earn 15k daily AP, for a new players that’s 4 years playing, for people who played from the start its less, as dailies where worth 5AP for each daily in the early game, so what Anet is saying really is enjoy the game for 4 years new players then we cut your progression..
I honestly cant believe they wont acknowledge this given the number of times this topic has come up this year alone.

I take it you are running the x64 windows and the x64 client, if so then you may indeed have a corrupted dat file which is causing a small memory leak, try and run the -repair command line and see if it works for you after the dat file is repaired.

My server was DBL last week, and we stomped the other 2 servers and we are DBL again this week and are currently stomping the other 2 servers, I find that the other servers tend to not want to go to DBL to try and cap, as in the time it takes a zerg to cross the DBL cap, the DBL server can go to the ABL and cap both bay and hills in the same time.
Like Torzini said Yolomouse is great for changing the mouse icon in game, its kind of amazing that 4 years after launch Anet have not even looked at this issue.
Anyway you should probably post your ideas here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/QoL-Suggestions-merged/first
If the offer ends before you can access the sale price, your ticket is logged before hand, support are normally very good, and will more than likely honour the sale price of the items your looking for, as the restriction is out of your hands due to the validation process.
If your ticket is indeed longer than 3 days old you can post in this topic
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-2/first
You will get 1000 different answers to this, as everyone play style is different,
My Necro became my main class after HoT the Reaper is nasty across all game modes, I haven’t touched my Guardian in months, and it seems everything the Guard can do, Rev’s and or other classes can do better, I see less and less Guards in groups these days, unless its a set team build.
Rangers got a nice change with HoT my Druid has become my 2nd class to go to when doing things in PvE now also.
The only real way to answer your question is for you to try out each class, as really everyone plays the game different.
Good Luck.

If you have repaired your client, and have update to date drivers,
I would honestly say it looks like your GFX card could be dying, or overheating
Google search for pictures of GFX overheating, you will see pics the same as yours the arti-facting it bad.
1. Build Saving/Gear Saving ( like we had in PvP for GW1 ) this would allow us to change builds/armor for different battles without having to stop change armor and traits, 2 clicks and done ( Out of Combat of course )
2. Tooltips/skill descriptions, I know many use there keyboards for skills, but some people due to limitations cannot do this, and use a mouse, seeing the skill description pop up all the time is annoying, and ruins the visuals of game play, we could hide this in GW1 why not here.
3. Open all, ( champ bags, boxes etc, we are seeing more and more of these containers, open all would be great )
4. Mystic forge, anyone tried to upscale Core to Lodestones, enough said, make it if we have the ability to craft 100 in 1 go we can, providing we have the materials to do so.
Where they do need to spend a lot of time remaking the UI for a 4k Screen, I don’t think you will see it until the next expansion, you see a lot more people getting 4K screens now, but keep in mind this game engine was made 5-6+ years ago.
A dev may or may not beable to confirm if 4K is something they are looking into for an expansion.
For those who did read what I quoted, here is the link with the FIX that works, I had the same problem and this FIX worked, its worked for friends also.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Network-error-solved/first#post6301675
A dev should make a note on this topic,
But taken from another topic
Solved. Apparently you have to start “manually”, i.e. double clicking gw2 source file in app folder. It all works again.
This worked for me, don’t use the shortcut to get into game, use the source exe to launch for the first time.

Im actually surprised the cap on MF hasn’t been raised already, there have been many topics on this about how it could be done, but it goes ignored like so many suggestions,
If they want to keep it at 300% they should allow accounts to turn off the ability to get essences of luck, or allow us to pick another track
Karma gain 150,000 luck per 1%
Xp gain 100,000 luck per 1%
Gold find 200,000 per 1%
That would eat massive amounts of luck up, but be high enough to stop people running away with it.
OP as it has been mentioned, you will not get a reply from Anet on this topic, so you may aswell give up now,
There are a lot of players whom think the cap is stupid, and needs revised, in a game like this CAPs are bad, espically during month long content droughts where you don’t get any AP,
If I had to guess those who think the cap is great and should stay are either causal 2 hours a week players, or players who cannot control themselves and feel the need to grind out every point.
As for the leaderboards they should be scrapped also, they are pointless now, they will not change, even if a new players starting today ground out every single point available they still wouldn’t break the top 1000, so why keep them at all,
I would love to see the cap removed to allow us to continue gathering points, the fact that up to 60k points chest as been datamined says it all
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement_rewards
At the current rate no one will hit 40k for another 3 years given the way AP is handled in game,
AP from anything in game including dailies, is not about catching up, its about your own personal goals and achievements, but because ive supported Anet from day 1 and played daily I am now being punished for it, so that those who have not or have no interest may or maynot catch up,
In around 80 days ill hit cap, I just wont bother logging in anymore after that, whats the point, so I can watch those who log in once a week slowly catch up, because I can no longer gain.
Anet got this one 100% wrong, and I know others agree with it, when you take away someones ability to achieve something ingame because they enjoy doing it, they get bored and leave, simples.
To each there own, to all those who enjoy others being capped so they can no longer progress, hope you still enjoy the game when the AP hunters quit for a new game,
Also to the 1500 days question, in the early days of GW2 each daily gave 5 AP so you could get 25 a day, it was changed at a later date.
I really HOPE Anet do pay attention to this topic and finally give us a proper reply.
Maybe they should just add a tick box that you can use, you click it to continue getting daily AP and if you uncheck it you don’t, cause im willing to bet that if they put that in, all those saying cap is great I don’t want dailys etc, wouldn’t be long hit ticking that box.

If you have received an order number from the purchase, then contact support and ask them to look into it, there really is nothing anyone on here can do,
Side note, the only time ive ever seen a delay on PP when buying something for me was one time my card I had linked to PP was replaced and I forgot to update the card details, and the payment had to come from bank, like a money transfer, and it took 10 days for it to clear, I never made that mistake again.
The title of this topic is so misleading,
I was in CS months ago and the champ farm MENTOR had clearly went AFK and people where asking for someone to take over, after about 10 minutes I tagged up, we where in the middle of Melandru temple, the MENTOR who was on the map then showed up and started QQing HARD on the map, telling me how I should F-O etc as he was there first, when people who where on the temple with me told him he was AFK, he then got his friends to start the abuse too,
Since then I haven’t bothered tagging up for anything, I don’t need the hassle, people like that player who I encountered that day are becoming far to common these days, they think the tag gives them super powers, and when stamping their feet hard doesn’t work they call upon their friends to start the abuse too.
So you wonder why people don’t tag up to help anymore.
Been playing since headstart,
From drops ive had 0
From the forge 30+
Ive thrown so much gold into that forge in the past, but since pre cursor crafting has been released it seems the drop rate of Pres has dropped, maybe to encourage pre crafting, but the forge is not worth even gambling now.
I like the cap honestly. I mean I was never one to focus achievement hunting but my dailies are at around 10,500 or something. That’s 4500 I can use to “catch up” to those that have mostly already called out on it. Along with other achievements I have yet to obtain I can, should I choose to, remain competitive in being a top spot on the leaderboard.
Granted, I don’t really have much interest in it, but I’m sure others in my predicament might feel that way too.
Why do you need to “catch up” what do you gain from it, its not like someone with higher AP has an advantage ingame over you, the only thing they get is skins before you,
I will hit the cap in 76 days, ANET have had months and months to give us an answer on this topic, and they have ignored it, a cap like this is stupid, in a game where skins are locked behind AP chests, then they put a CAP on the AP’s you can get, unless they are planning for content on a weekly basis to allow us to keep on gaining AP’s the cap needs to go,
And anyone who has hit it, should have the AP awarded to them that they missed out on since hitting the cap so that they don’t get left behind,
Its BEYOND stupid to restrict those who play the game everyday to allow those who do not to catch up as and when they feel like it, the catch up argument has been beaten into the ground already, as people cannot catch up due to previous seasons APs that can no longer be gained,
Anet the CAP needs to go, no one is forcing people to do dailies, so those that don’t want to do them don’t do them, but don’t continue to restrict those who want to do them,
Personally in 76 days if the CAP is not removed and or ANET have not acknowledged this topic, im all done with the game, then those who want to catch up can really catch up, I wont be restricted in my progression so that someone who only picked the game up or someone who logs in 2 hours a week can “try” catch up.
Restricting long term players = bad bad bad
This topic will have to move to reddit I feel before anet will even acknowledge it.
I am firmly in the group of players that think the cap is bad and needs removed.

You would be better posting here.
https://www.gw2bltc.com/en/item/72713-HOPE
The prices change all the time, the cost of the pre will change as mats change in price,
Time wise it will all depend on how much you play, im not sure if any of the collections have time gates, if not it should take you days, if you play a lot, if you don’t it could take you months.
You cant do it yourself, you need support to do it for you, if you contact them they can assist you, its pretty painless.
but it will leave a lot of people wondering just how safe are their accounts even with 2 step auth on it.
If the third-party company isn’t following the rules, then not safe at all. You could have 900 security measures on the account and the CS reps could still hand out the account to anyone the jolly well felt like.
I 100% agree, I just read the update on the topic on reddit, and the person who did it posted the full convo with support, its kind of shocking just how easy it was for them, and considering that some people have put $1000’s into there account it makes it even worse, Anet need to hammer down really hard on the support team that deals with these kind of requests, the fact its now been posted all over reddit just how easy it is, its only a matter of time until we see people posting on here that they have lost there accounts because support gave them away.
Just to follow up on my previous post, something else occurs to me. I would assume Gaile’s GW1 account is linked to her GW2 account and if so, then the reset link would allow the PW to be changed inside of the GW2 account page as that controls the linked GW1 account. It would seem as if the two factor authentication for GW2 would be at risk because of the reset allowing them access to change the PW for GW1 inside it.
You really need to allow the use of more than one choice of two factor authentication and once again, a dedicated GW2 authenticator needs to be one of those options.
According to the original post on reddit, this was Gailes GM account that was hacked not her personal one, as someone posted a screen shot from the guild she was in showing she hadn’t logged in for 4 years, so AFAIK her personal account on GW1/GW2 was not affected.
But in saying that, I read what the person wrote on reddit, and it is scary to think that someone could just keep requesting from support until they find a support member who gives out the links to reset passwords etc, im guessing we wont hear a follow up about that though, but it will leave a lot of people wondering just how safe are their accounts even with 2 step auth on it.
I find the new map good for rares aswell, vs the AB map, and its all the time vs every 2 hours, but that aside,
The massive influx of ecto is probably more down to the fact that people are not forging the rares anymore, be it they have the legendary they want, or the fact you cannot forge the newer ones, so people don’t need to gamble anymore, so they salvage the rares, back when I used to gamble the forge I could have thrown 1000 rares a week into it, now they all get salvaged, if you get more and more people doing this now, it adds up real fast to ecto being dumped into the market,
Which for now isn’t a bad thing, as it wont be long until something is added that requires a lot of it again, and prices sky rocket, its always been that way with ecto.
Sometimes in a story instance, you have to talk to an NPC to progress that part of the story chain, I myself have done this before, where I missed talking to an NPC and a friend did not, and when completed they got the reward and I did not,
Or when the reward popped up and asked them did they want to accept it to progress, they accidently hit no, maybe thinking it would ruin your rewards or whatever.
I don’t know. I find the new zone quite fun actually. To each his own I guess.
For how long, even you have to admit this new map does not have the sustain that maps like SW, AB have, the only reason this map is so busy atm, is people moving threw the story, and grinding out the blood rubies for the ascended gear,
Add to the fact there is an rapidly re-spawning event that gives fairly decent look, once Anet move in with the nerf bat, this zone will die, so I can see why some people do not enjoy the new zone,
The one thing I will say about the new zone is, the Artists did a fantastic job as usual.
I use a 27" Samsung IPS screen at 1440p, and its amazing, you wont regret it.
What does everyone think about this new update to Swamp,
When I read the patch notes I thought this will be fun, but you know what it was totally boring, so boring ill avoid swamp again even for daily fractals,
The moss man in the hall way is just your standard fight,
The Bloomhunger is a total bore fest, go in burn it, oh now run around for 60 seconds avoiding never ending spawns of invincible enemies, then run in burn again, repeat the 60 seconds, then run out spawn 4 wisps, run in and burn.
You should have put the Mossman and Bloomhunger in the same room at the same time with old mechanics, that might have made it more interesting,
This is my own personal opinion on the new Swamp,
PS: at least the new Fractal is fun.
I stopped using my Guard in fractals when I got past level 80 and seen how badly it basically cannot be used compared other classes, I haven’t used my Guardian since.
QoL update was good, the salvaging update is great, hopefully with that system in place we will get an “open all” feature next time for champ bags/chests etc,
The new map is nicely made, the only complaint I have is the White Mantle range attacks when gliding are crazy, like half way across the map crazy, even if you use stealth while gliding they still pip you out of the sky, im not sure how much replay ability the new map will have when people get the achievements etc, but time will tell on that.
The “update” to some skills is over the top, the minions from the necro seem to just die now, and don’t do much, so much so ive dropped them from my skills, ive seen others talking about ele and Mesmer but I don’t main either of them, hopefully you will take feedback from them topics and adjust skills accordingly, I dropped guardian awhile back because it was lacklustre in high level fractals due to retal, but the update according to a friend who mains guard, has said the update is good for guards so I guess that’s a positive.
I was disappointed that a topic that has come up time and time again in recent months, wasn’t addressed, and that was to do with the daily AP cap, you’s are keep a firm silence stance on that, and it looks like an update to this is never coming, with content being spaced out months apart, this really slows/ ( or stops ) progress to the achievement chests for armor etc, can we please get an update on this at some point in the near future, in 95 days I will hit the cap, and then im not sure I will bother playing daily anymore, as I really wont have a lot to log in for. ( do you have any info on this topic Gaile )
The story twist at the end was amazing, was a nice throwback to GW1, and cant actually wait to see where this goes now.
I used to have 150 AR, but I’m down to 143 AR because no infusion spot on amulet. Now I can’t do certain level on fractals.
Anet, what is this?
Actually from a fractal point its not so bad, as the simple +7s can now be replaced with +10s etc where as before the patch the simple +7 was the highest you could put, this allows us to easily go beyond 150 AR, which might be handy if there plan it to push higher levels of fractals in future updates
2 of my friends are on TS with me are both logged in and playing ok, but I still get that same 1083 error message, it seems anyone who was in game when that crash happened cannot get on, anyone who did not patch before that crash, can get in and play as normal.
Just patched the game, and I got a mail from Anet
Delivery from: Black Lion Trading Company,
Here are the items you purchased, thanks for your support.
But I didn’t get any items, guild members are also reporting the same issue,
I don’t know if its a bug or if something is supposed to be sent to us for S3.
You do realize that the players doing those farms are doing them for the gold they get. You nerf that farm, they will move on to another farm. Then you’ll ask for that to be nerfed. And eventually it goes around in a circle and Silverwastes/Champion farming will be the farm again. Players will farm the things that give them most X per time spent on average where X is whatever they need, be it karma, gold, map currency, etc.
And this is true because most parts of the game are unrewarding, if you got rewarded for doing other stuff in game people wouldn’t resort to this mindless farming, they do it because they want the loot for whatever there goal is, I did Shatterer ( a massive world event ) and got 3 blues and a green from the chest ( sure you get the rare from the daily chest ) but in that same 13 mins it took to kill, I could have gotten what, 20 champ bags from SW, but sadly instead of saying oh jeez maybe other events are unrewarding, they will go SW is to profitable nerfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.
- Refunds are granted up to 30 Days past purchase for those of you that just paid full price. Send in a ticket and we’ll refund the difference.
- Standard and Deluxe versions only. You don’t need to wait for the sale to start to submit a ticket.
- You must have purchased the game from us directly in order to qualify for this refund.
Does this reply not highlight a massive issue, the fact that someone posted on the official forums and the Dev directed them to reddit, why does it seem that we are being directed to reddit more and more.
Not useful in the slightest.
RNG is RNG and no amount of MF will change players having no good RNG.
As someone with 310% base MF and around 400 with food/boosters, I can sadly say this above statement is 100% true,
No you can’t. You see, a long time ago, someone proved you and all the other naysayers wrong with something called statistics. Do I have a link? No, but it wouldn’t matter anyways would it?
All someone proved was there RNG was better than someone elses,
I capped that MF out a few months after it was introduced, and if it made as much of a difference as your trying to make out, I would be worth a fortune in game, fact is it doesn’t make a difference, whether im farming SW, CS, FGS, fractals/dungeons, the game rewards drops based 100% on RNG if your account rolls a good RNG roll you win, if it doesn’t you get nothing, having 300%+ MF has NOT IMPROVED my drops at all, I get no more rares, exoctis ( fat chance ) or T6 mats than my friends with 100% MF.
Magic Find works amazingly well in old maps (especially Orr) when doing events with lots of mobs.
In the newer areas, most mobs have had their drop rates scuttled in order to justify all the chest loot, and many event mobs are set to drop no loot at all. This significantly limits the usefulness of Magic Find in HoT content.
Problem is that older maps are having the events that are farmed heavily changed so that mobs don’t drop loot, CS is a great example of this, many events have been changed so that mobs drop no loot (fish farm on beach), or mobs have been removed from the event ( Arah pre south beach, had all the Risen removed completely ) other mobs have been changed to spawn vets which drop no loot, or very little loot,
The new HoT maps really made MF useless, a lot of enemies drop no loot or the chest/bags instead which are not affect by magic ( I am aware that some are affected by MF, but even with 300%+ I haven’t seen any change in drops from them )
I would say going forward you will see more and more loot from chests/bags and MF will be phased out completely.

As someone with 310% base MF and around 400 with food/boosters, I can sadly say this above statement is 100% true,
I have a friend whom I play the game with daily who has just over 100% MF, ( they call it Magic Beans, that Anet managed to sell ) and there drops tend to be better than mine, Magic Find seems to have little to no difference at all in game, when it comes to drops from mobs or drops from the apparently MF chests.
Furthermore its a topic that Anet avoid like the plague, ive never seen them answer any topic on here or reddit in regards to magic find or why its broken.
I crafted the Incinerator a few weeks ago, and it took me 340 Coins, Ecto, Shards to get the 77 clovers,
This topic came up when the mystic coins price sky rocketed, Anet where asked to give us a dedicated recipe for clovers and we where ignored, so don’t hold your breath on anything changing,
I did see however they are going to add Mystic Clovers to the WvW reward tracks for Gift of Battle, so I guess we shall see where this goes.
I don’t think they require the port to WP anymore, if you are on the map, when on TS they will tell you the name of the commanders squad you join, this allows far faster porting into a map, than hoping you get the correct map.
This event needs changed,
Part of this event
Disperse the coalescences before the Ley-Line Anomaly absorbs them
The scaling on this part of the event needs turned off completely, I did this event and completed it a few days after it came out, today on a map I was helping a few friends with the event, and there was players on the map deliberately trolling the map, and shouting to stack on the event,
Anyone who has done this will know that the more people that stack it, the harder it gets, in fact if you get enough people it becomes impossible, and they managed to make every part fail, it doesn’t take a lot of players to make it stack to impossible levels, a small team can make a map fail, this is unfair to the players on the maps trying to do the event as normal,
When will you learn that world events like this that can be completely destroyed by a few small minded players do not work, please turn the scaling off on this part of the event to prevent this trolls from ruining game play for other players.
I hope that if they nerf it, they don’t punish the looting of those of us who stick to a single AB map.
You can also guarantee, it will be nerfed into oblivion, they don’t nerf things half hearted in this game, they will go all out, they always do, anyone who thinks other wise just has to look at some of the locations in game that where used for farming in the past, or certain events that where good in the past that now give NO XP or NO LOOT at all.
Remember when they changed SW’s and removed like 80% of the chests…….anyone been in Dry Top sandstorm recently, good luck finding more than 5 chests.
This is why I don’t do any or these sort of farms, as when the nerf hammer comes down people are shocked to see just how bad the rewards are, when otherwise you wouldn’t realise it as you are getting x5 at the moment.
It has been a month, and this topic has come up a few times now, both here and reddit, and still the Anet wall of silence on this topic continues, can a DEV who reads this forum please reply to this, or go ask someone who knows, if and when the cap will be increased/removed, so that people can continue getting the AP on dailies,
Those who are 10k behind me wont catch me no matter what, those who are 10k ahead of me I wont catch, its not about them, its about what I can achieve and being restricted for something that makes no sense shouldn’t be happening in a game like this.
Actually the Ebon map would probably work fairly well, all the have to do is make it that you cannot build Arrow Carts, to promote more actual battles in the narrow path ways.
Id be curious to know how many total votes there was for this, vs the WvW community,
The DBL will either give a server a massive advantage over others as no one will go near it, or a disadvantage if the server that gets it, has there playerbase avoid it,
The Map itself was not well received when it was first added to the game, I hope Anet have done a massive rework to it, as it stands you can get around the ABL a lot faster than the DBL, I personally will avoid the DBL as I cannot stand it, and I hope that Anet monitor the playerbase using the DBL map to see if its truly worth using, I understand the designers spent a lot of time on the map before HoT but I think the vision they had for it, was not what the players had, thus the hate, don’t put all this work into trying to revamp WvW to undo it all again,
And to the person who claimed WvW players only say they are going to quit and don’t, I can tell you that I know of several WvW guilds who did quit, and did not return, so it does happen.
Also this could heavily affect matchups,
If the map is always green, servers will tank score to not win,
If the map is always blue, servers in 2nd will tank to try avoid it,
If the map is always red, this could kill of playerbase on these servers.

Legendary armor is a reward for completing the most difficult content in the game.
That comment may hold true if there wasn’t like 5/8 man teams clearing content designed for 10 man teams, so the content cannot be that “hard” its just maybe more challenging but its not hard, infact the hardest part is trying to find a non elitist group of pugs whom think they are better than everyone else.
The only reason this was changed was to get people back into WvW after the HoT changed decimated the WvW population.
This maybe true, but its going to bring the wrong players into WvW.
Does anyone remember all them complaints about season 1 where WvW players complained about PvE players filling up queue’s etc and K-Training the maps etc,
Do you want the BL’s to become massive K-Train maps by PvE players, because this is how you get massive K-Trains on the BL’s by PvE only players,
This update makes no sense, I could understand it it was 1 tier long, where you have to say get 10 ticks at max reward, but to make it the same as a normal title track, was stupid,
That old saying, if its not broken don’t try and fix it.
Sadly you wont get a reply from Anet on this, this topic has come up over and over again in recent months as more and more people hit the cap, the cap is stupid, and was put in because some players “felt” they had to do them, or couldn’t control themselves so we all got restricted because of it,
Anet have been asked several times to look into this, and on every topic they have ignored us, im with you on this OP I think the cap should be removed, you should not be restricted because someone picked up the game 2 years after you, or because you log in daily and others don’t,
You will hear all these excuses about old AP’s from LS1 etc but at the end of the day the gap is always going to be there, I don’t PvP so someone who does PvP will have more AP than me, but I DONT ask for Anet to cap or remove them AP’s
Caps in a game like this are bad, they serve no purpose other than to make people feel there time is not worth it in game, if the leaderboards are a problem, they should remove them, as they serve no purpose.
Anyway, I know others are in the same boat as the OP, I personally am 128 days out from the cap, when I hit it, im done with the game, there are other big games hitting the market this summer, and I already have friends that have bailed on GW2, I wont have my fun restricted in game, because of others who COULDNT control themselves and felt the need to grind out every single AP there was.
It would be great to get Anet to even acknowledge this, but don’t hold your breath, you maybe better posting it on Reddit, it seems to get noticed more there.
You’re just upset there’s an issue for you. And others, I am not singling you out. But it’s exactly the same as the guy who doesn’t have any leather and wants the devs to fix it. Same as the guy who doesn’t have laurels or orbs. There is an in-game way to get what you want, it’s the TP.
Its nothing like the guy who cant get leather or orbs, both of those items can be got in game very easily and you can get them easily by never going near the TP,
It seems those who are apposed to Anet looking into this may have a lot of gold sunk into Coins on the TP, and stand to lose gold if Anet step in.
But as you brought up the orbs, which are indeed needed for the new HoT Legendarys, people DID complain about them, (Amalgamated Gemstones) and Anet DID add more ways to get them, including recipes to make 10-25 at a time, I didn’t see any hate on the forums about that, yet people are hating on others for wanting Anet to step in to fix ( give us more ways to get ) Mystic Coins, how strange.
When I first brought this topic up 3 weeks ago, the price of coins rapidly dropped ( flippers scared maybe that Anet would do something ) Anet Dev Chris replied stating basically suck it up, and prices sky rocketed after that, as it was pretty much Anet giving the TP Flippers free reign on coin prices.
I also see this topic has hit reddit also, apparently coins hit 1G each today at some point, and the topic there already has like x5 as many replies.
