Guild Wars 2

I’d recommend trying your hand at WvW rather than writing it off as something you’d not be interested in straight off the bat. The easiest way to get your cap points is to just play and roll with some decent groups. Trying to join a WvW-focused guild is a viable option, but don’t expect them to focus on your own goals right away.

I was a player who only entered WvW for my map completion with the full intention of not really returning too much once upon a time. I just rolled with the zerg and picked up my vistas/POIs along the way, whilst learning the WvW side of the game at the same time. As I did the latter, I got more and more into it. These days, most of my play time is spent in WvW and I’m a core member of a WvW guild.

So, who knows. You might even enjoy it and come back after you’ve got your gold star.

Looks promising. Good idea.

I have a mouse macro which acts as a toggle so I don’t have to hold it down. I hit a button to turn it on once, then hit it again when I want to turn it off. Very useful.

The only thing I wish we had was the ability to remap it. It doesn’t appear as though you can.

Yeah, it’s obvious it wasn’t intended. So, they’re fixing it. Don’t get what the problem is or where the confusion lies personally. As said in the OP, it isn’t overpowered so it’s not the end of the world if they remove it too.

Have the leader tag up as a commander?

I’m an ele. I use MS + Tornado in WvW, but I accept that it’ll be nerfed because the stat boost from tornado wasn’t really intended to be used to produce super-powered meteor showers. It’s just a quirk that was noticed and taken advantage of but one that I acknowledge isn’t intended.

The people trying to justify this are missing a key point which I feel is an important one, and which Anet have already highlighted. There shouldn’t ever be a scenario where it is desirable to fail at completing an event objective and pit players looking to play the event as intended against players who are trying to manipulate it by failing. That is always and forever going to result in a situation where people get annoyed and insults fly around, which isn’t the desired way the GW2 community should develop.

I’ve farmed the Blix event myself, yet I am still able to acknowledge that the entire notion of intentionally failing something is ridiculous as a concept and undesirable for the aforementioned reason. It should be fixed and so should every occurrence where “failing” something is actually more beneficial than succeeding in future. Failure should mean failure. The goal should always be that everyone is working together to succeed at the objectives set. That’s when community harmony typically prevails and we get less of these toxic arguments and insults, and that’s how I like it.

The Stone Summit would disagree that there are no mounts in GW lore:

1. They are not player characters.
2. Stone Summit are gone.
3. Wrong Guild Wars game.

lol, lore doesn’t have to just apply to player characters to make it credible and GW2 is set after GW, inheriting much of the original game’s history in lore terms so the game is irrelevant too.

My point is, it wouldn’t be a ridiculous notion in the world of Tyria that people started using mounts as many are trying to suggest. It’s already happened with Dolyaks as I’ve shown, albeit admittedly in a limited scenario.
