We shouldn’t even bother. We’ll die anyway. Life is short. Eat more beef.
What do you mean by more achievements needed? Basically every patch gives more achievements.
They’re disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
I find it kind of annoying that selling any ascended stuff to merchants is an option.
I think I agree.
I doubt Anet would be doing it if they weren’t profiting from it. Are you asking them to stop making money?
hoping this gets noticed and fixed as well. people who abuses it are the ones defending it on forum right now.
People who don’t abuses it couldn’t accurately measure how profitable it is. The idea that you can get 40 gold in 20 minutes is ridiculous.
Exploitation of this magnitude should be a federal offense. Anyone who does this should serve time in the slammer.
They already let this easy exploit go unfixed for months. About 7 months, to be more specific. If keys aren’t a problem because the highest chests give you the currency to buy more keys, then this has been a problem since HoT was launched, not since the spring update. Which is weird, because I didn’t see anyone doing this (or complaining about this) before the spring update. Then we were given bucketloads of keys for doing the pre-events and started looking for the best way to use them all. As far as I know, the rewards in the chests weren’t increased, so could you let us know why the entire economy isn’t ruined already?
After reading your opening line I was about to comment and say that the Spring update is what clicked this into gear, but then I read the rest and see you kind of said that … but now I’m actually not really sure what your point is. But yeah this became a ‘problem’ (depending on your perspective) when keys and currency went from a bit of a grind to an Oprah style “you have a key, you have 100s of currency, we’ll all have 1000s of currency and 10s of keys!” in the April update.
People are joking because it’s not all that serious. There’s still a time limit on how many chests you can open and there’s a currency limit on the number of keys people can get. One way or another, people have to play in order to open chests.
ANet will probably throttle the number of chests you can open somehow, but it’s hardly urgent.
There is a time limit however the currency limit really isn’t very limiting at all given how much currency and how many keys you get from simply doing the Octo event alone. Saying ‘people have to play’ is no different to saying that people still had to buy maize balm for the maize balm farm and well that eventually got nerfed into the ground too. In fairness, the maize balm farm was more toxic in the open world than the AB chest farm.
Anyway there’s a very simple fix and that is to make the AB meta chests like the noxious pods in Dragon Stand where you can’t loot them unless you participated in the event. I’d be happy for them to improve the number of Grand chests below (revamping the ratio between grand, great etc) as a compromise.
My point was that the key quantities were changed and the chests weren’t. Stop blaming the chests. They’re the victims of circumstance.
My first couple sentences there were only a semi-serious response to the allegation that the chests giving five aurillium each was the reason for the squad-run multiple-instance gatheringness. It’s not. Anyone buying keys is a crazy person.
Yeah, what you said^
I don’t understand why anyone is complaining about it?
Because it’s killing the rest of the game. Don’t you get it? GW2 is completely dead now except for this one lone map. Dead I tell you. Dead.
Joke all you want, but it’s actually going to ruin the economy and kill off other areas of the game if let alone too long. Humans take the path of least resistance, and right now auric basin is by far that path.
You can’t just let an easy exploit go unfixed for months.
Please fix this before it’s too late anet.

What do you mean “rest of the game?” You mean there’s something beyond Auric Basin?
It’s hard to say for sure. Maybe we should send out scouts to see if the rumors are true.

You can do the same thing on all HoT maps, actually. All chests can be opened by anyone with keys. The one difference here would be that those chests require the meta be completed by someone, even if not by you. You can go into vb or td and just start farming.
No thanks. The vigilantism around here is already out of control. I stand for the rule of law.
You don’t get luck from white items (iirc)
I mean the weap your character has upon creation btw, lvl 0, lowest stats:)
The ones that can’t be sold?
Resonance is now useless. You can’t buy it because you can’t use it.
How exactly did “recent changes” affect +1200 range classes and how they’re countered?
Though one more fix they could make would be adding the ability to put most of those mats in the mat storage. Then scribing would be doubly fixed.
What was broken was the cost, not the complexity. The cost has been drastically reduced, therefore scribing is fixed.
Yes, it is fixed.
You either love jumping puzzles or you’re wrong. Jumping puzzles are the lifeblood of this game.
If we’re really playing investigators, I get to be Rytlock Holmes.
