Yesterday fractal level 48 and an assasins weapon box drops. That was pretty much a Oh yes event. Because I can save myself leveling my Huntsman to 500 now ^^
Gratz
Shows that you should do what you love, not what you think will bring you the best rewards.

So many people don’t know their lore
That’s not really the point of all this.
The fact is that the name “Guild Wars” is very misleading when the game does not have any wars between guilds in it.
Misleading product names are borderline illegal in most countries.
See what I mean…..this guy doesn’t know his lore either lol.
The Guild Wars was the name of an event in GW history that actually happened…has nothing to do with in-game guilds being able to fight.
I know where the name comes from lol.
It doesn’t change the fact the name is misleading lol.
Lol.
Please explain what is misleading about the game name, it’s very clear to me having played since the beginning of the original Guild Wars.
And you are conveniently ignoring that the original Guild Wars did indeed have GvG?
Also, you need to consider buyers that have not played the original Guild Wars. What do you think they expect in a game titled “Guild Wars 2”?

Would you feel bad then if the limit to the highest tier was 10k gold and you’d see a bunch of characters decked in starter gear flying that title in LA, right in front of your nose?

Edit: There is one in Lornar’s Pass at Ironhammer’s Crypt but I haven’t been able to figure out how to make it appear. It isn’t always there but I’ve opened at least twice.
If you can figure out how to trigger that chest, let me know

you finally learn to give up doing your dailies. I’ve been doing my dailies everyday without missing even a single one since the early start weekend. The first step is the hardest but man, once you’ve missed one, you don’t really care about it anymore. I urge anyone else who feels like it’s a chore to just leave it. Your time is worth more.
If it feels like a chore and you finally stop it, the next stop won’t be far. Soon you will stop playing at all.
Which you totally should, if it does indeed feel like a chore.
I love doing the daily achi

I loved it when ANet put living story achievements in OS. Oh the crushing of nubs and throwing them down the cliff when they FINALLY got through the arena. I still have probably 20 litres of tears stored in my cellar.
On another note, I’ve had some of my best duels in OS, too. And boy have I been showed my place in a few of them.
Lately it’s been more quiet there, but all the more reason to jump at every opportunity to crush the enemy. It’s such a cool place for PvP too, if you move around and don’t just camp the chokepoints (or just camp the start).
Well as long as you are having fun in your basement
Oh if I only got a basement where I could sometimes retire from my wife and daughter…
Alas, I have to make-do with short sessions between family crisis and early mornings.
In case you were serious, take another look at the WvW JP. It’s purposefully designed for harassing other players and hampering their progress towards the end. Not using it as such is an insult against the ones who designed it.

Its like watching fish out of water
And: dont do the talk if you if you wont do the walk.
Kinda same advice fits ANet.
I’m getting the feeling you’re exactly the kind of person who likes to watch living things die slowly and painfully.
No, just the ones that deserve it….for a bit…for being a wise-fish ;P
Oh now I am the wise-“fish” and not the one who purposefully twists meanings to make his point?

I still have to take my hat off when looking at the gem store. They still don’t sell power or even measurable shortcuts. It’s still mainly cosmetics and convenience, just as it should be
Except it’s not. The so-called “convenience” items give economic power, at the very least.
Revive Orbs, as an example (not worth the effort to go down the entire list and detail how every item increases your power – even if it’s not direct stat power), mean you don’t have to abandon events, lowering your XP, karma, and gold rewards or incur transit costs from normal revival (which can easily wipe out the gold you would gain from an event, especially tougher ones where you might die several times). And, of course, for less populated events or dungeons, being able to get up instantly without another player having to become vulnerable can prevent a wipe, benefitting everyone involved.
The day they introduce clear shortcuts to BiS gear or blatantly start selling it, I’m out, for good.
Crafting Boosters save you a crapton of gold buying the materials needed to reach 500, a clear shortcut to Ascended (ie, Best in Slot) gear. Guess you’re out for good. Have fun with whatever game you’re going to next.
Do you even play this game? If you do, you are either trolling or dumb.
Revive orbs don’t save you any money, ever, if you buy them from the gem store. Their only use is to revive yourself in a tough dungeon encounter and only then if one of the party members can kite the boss long enough, or to revive yourself at a tough place of a long jumping puzzle. Instantly? LOL! You have never used one have you? Eliminate transit cost? ROFL! That 1-2 silver versus the cost of the orb? You still get equipment damage and the orb does not prevent that.
Crafting booster for saving money when crafting? Hah! With the gems you spend buying them you can get enough gold to cover the savings and have plenty left over.
I ask you again. Do you even play this game? Have you ever bought gems?
Selling gold with which you can buy legendary weapons. They do sell power and advantage.
Yeah they do, don’t they. The amount of players spending ~550-600€ to get one legendary weapon must really upset the balance.
Nice try, though.
there you go, your own words.
The day they introduce clear shortcuts to BiS gear or blatantly start selling it, I’m out, for good.
I’m starting to run out of steel wire, but I’ll try once more.
No one uses that shortcut because the cost is ridiculous. It is not splitting the community into “P2W” and “TooPoorToWin”.
You either don’t understand or pretend not to, to emphasize your own skewed point.

Interestingly enough the cash shop will not help you in collecting the 500 pcs of ascended materials. It can help you to skip the other parts by converting to gold, but the ratio sucks.
For whatever faults I could attribute to ANet for not fixing the skill lag or introducing gear grind, I still have to take my hat off when looking at the gem store. They still don’t sell power or even measurable shortcuts. It’s still mainly cosmetics and convenience, just as it should be: People spend money on it because they want to support the game.
The day they introduce clear shortcuts to BiS gear or blatantly start selling it, I’m out, for good.
Oh, but the cash shop isn’t there to help you at all. Economic tip: monetization is never in favor of the spender
The fact is, time is the only finite currency we have. So while there may not be direct ways to “buy” all you need for an Ascended item, the time you spend doing it leads you conveniently to the cash shop for other items… wether that’s as benign as a “convenience” item to make up your lost time or not.
It’s all part of the grand design, my friend. There is psychology at work here that goes far beyond what most workaday players understand.
Power should not be sold (and it isn’t, directly.) Convenience should not be sold (but it is, directly.) Only cosmetics should be sold… things that you cannot get in-game anyway. Then you are not trading money for time, you are only trading money for goods. Further, there should be no random elements to cash shop purchases (mini pets.)
Their grand design sucks, then. The introduction of this new grind and doing nothing about skill lag has made me stop purchasing stuff from the gem store.
