I think removing these skills would be excellent. It is indeed the worst part about sPvP, and I agree removing it would reduce much of the complaints with certain classes.
Arenanet, please allow guilds to transfer their upgrades on servers! Even at a gem cost!
I’m sick of 2+hr waits for WvW! I want to play the game I bought, not sit here twiddling my thumbs. Heaven forbid I try to get more than 1 guild-mate in with me, it takes hours just to get a few people together!
Our guild would transfer to a lower population server in a heartbeat except that we’ve now spent a ton into our guild upgrades!
Let us move our upgrades, or make a special case to award the same amount of influence points so guilds can start the upgrades on a different server.

I would happily transfer servers if our guild upgrades came with us. As of now my guild has been upgrading non-stop since day 1, and we’re on rank 2-3 of all categories of upgrades.
If Arenanet would allow us to transfer our guild upgrades we would move over to the lowest population server in a heartbeat!
The hearts are really more of a guide for where to be, and what level that surrounding area is. Doing just those will only give you a small amount of XP. Dynamic events are the main method, but if you only do those 2 things you will still be behind. The game is all about exploring, and they reward you for it.
Here’s my list of XP outlets in the game:
- Renowned Hearts - The heart quests, really meant to show you where to go. These are only a fraction of your leveling XP.
- Dynamic Events - Dynamic Events are the meat and potatoes of the questing. These are the replacement to traditional quest you get from NPCs. They happen on their own throughout the world and you can particiapte if you like, or keep walking. These start on their own without your interaction and are a good portion of your leveling XP.
- Triggered Dynamic Events - Explore everywhere, the game rewards random exploration, chances are that cave over there will start an event when you get close! Listen for NPCs talking about stuff – they are often referring to events, or secrets.
- Points of Interest/Vistas - Grab these around the world, you get XP for them, and finishing an entire zone’s collectibles will give you great rewards.
- Story Line - Do your story line when you’re an appropriate level for it.
- Gathering - Get the 3 gathering tools from a vendor and loot all plants/trees/ores you see as you get lots of XP from that!
- Crafting - Crafting gives XP as you create stuff, and a good amount too. Approximately 1 level for every 4 PvE levels (if you craft throughout leveling)
- Daily Achievement - If you check your achievements tab you’ll see that there’s a list of objectives for a daily goal. Completing this will give you a chest with XP, Money, and maybe an item. Repeatable each day.
- WvW - The World Vs. World PvP can be accessed even at level 1. Everything you do there counts towards your PvE character. You’ll get XP, Karma, Gold, even Items!
If you read the patch notes for 8 or 9 sept (not entirely sure which), you will find that these issues should be resolved now.
- The pet can no longer be ressed by using F
- The pet does it’s F2 skill ‘the moment’ you tell it too.
The patch did not fix it. It still happens.
