youre not the first and wont be the last. You SAW the ‘unique’ keyword, and YOU chose not to figure out what it meant. Yet as you say you haven’t seen the unique tag before. If you buy a car that explicitly had a ‘no engine’ tag, would you go complain that because you didnt know what an engine is you couldnt possibly know the car wouldnt run. A warning would be nice, but ultimately it is your own fault. You saw the word. You ignored it.

yeah nice post.

I already started looking for another MMORPG and I realy like gw2… but when SAB 2 come out with insta kills and and so obvious use of infinite coin I feel more and more disgusted.

While I hate Anet’s cashgrabs, this was not one of them. I did world 1, 2 days in a row to end up with around 70 continue coins. I have every single SAB world 2 achievement. Might want to rethink that one.

I’ve felt for a long time this game has changed in a direction that I personally don’t like. I knew very well it would be different from GuildWars 1, but here this is the feel I get:

Content? You got it. Everything.
Want anything else, and I mean, anything at all – Skins, pets, any conveinance item, upgrades, anything that costs – Either pay up or grind like this MMO was korean. And I don’t like it. GW2 was for me supposed to be the laid back cozy kind of MMO where you can come and go as you please. All the temporary crap (although nice content), time gating makes me feel stressed when playing. I need a break. And I feel it’s not because I try doing too much (well, I am), I feel like the game wants me to do too much. Dailies, daily bosses, daily invasion, daily fractals. Oh and I’d like to squeeze a pvp match in there somewhere.

Thanks for all the quick answers, I was freaking out a bit as this account is like.. You know 10k achievement points, rank 30pvp, lots of ascended thingies, minipets and so on. I’d hate to get hacked!

If there are some Anet crew around I’d love an explanation as to how:
- Your server shows as logged in on my account. (I’m in Denmark, you’re in Texas)
- How (I’m assuming here) I’m disconnected to character select without any kind of error message on the same time that your server is listed as currently logged in
- Why I can’t use my account site at all – Various error messages, won’t accept me changing password, list of networks not consistant, doesn’t know I have email authentication half the time.

You’re not getting hacked, same exact thing happened to me. Trust me, it’s just guild wars 2 glitching out and the texas thing is from the gw2 server.

I did consider that the US GW2 server is in Texas, but a) I’m an EU player and b) why would they log into my account? Not saying I don’t believe you, but I need some comfort here!

I was suddenly disconnected to character select without any disconnect or error message. I’m not entirely dumb, so I rushed onto account.guildwars2.com and checked the logins.

I have email authentication on, and somehow under current logins there was a “TX” – I’m assuming Texas, US. I’m not from texas. I immediately disconnected the login. (It was only listed under current logins, it was not under authorized netoworks)

Now when I go to account.guildwars2.com it does not make sense. It keeps changing every time I refresh the page. Half the time it says I don’t have email authentication activated and no current or authorized logins, half the time it looks as it should.

I also just get this message half the time:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<Error code=“48” module=“3” line=“288” text=“callback (): TypeError: Cannot call method ‘split’ of undefined TypeError: Cannot call method ‘split’ of undefined at Object.<anonymous> (Account/before.js:19:43) at Library/lib-troll.js:295:36 at Object.<anonymous> (Account/before.js:95:21) at Library/sugar-sts.js:150:73”/>

Edit, although it took 5 attempts for the site to accept a change of password, I think it’s changed now. I don’t dare logging out of my game though.

Okay, I’m sorry; I feel slightly disappointed that we do not have any way of getting the minipet without eBay. Is that better?

Seriously. You get my point. Whether it’s killing me or brought up a slight touch of disappointment is not really relevant. I don’t like that we can’t get that minipet.

Feeling sad about it is not overreacting. It’s perfectly fine to want things you can’t have.

Coming on the forums and demanding those things, and talking about slaps in the face and making topics like this one is overreacting, because luxury item.\

edit: ok the OP was just asking a question, but you get the point.

So I can feel sad about it, I just can’t write about it? Come on. The guy above leaving the game, then you can talk about overreaction. I just voice my concern that I don’t think the whole scenario with the minipet makes sense, and that they should actually make it available somehow. If I’m entitled for doing so, then so be it.

Overpriced Gem store?

Posted by: Treeline.3865

Treeline.3865

I’d have to agree with OP for the most part. While the Gold -> Gem price is entirely player driven, the pure cost of a Gemstore Item is.. Well.. Pretty high!

As any example, one of the infinite tools = 800 gems. That’s almost 15 dollars in a pure buy. Optional sure, convenience, sure. But wow. That is a lot for never having to buy a pickaxe again in a computer game.

So what I get from AntiGw and Ashen is
-If I feel sad in any way that I can’t complete my mini collection anymore, then I’m overreacting.
-If I feel like the minipet should be obtainable, if nothing else then expensively through gemstore, then I’m entitled and my expectations are unreasionable.

Well, it sure aint easy not being entirely satisfied. Am I allowed any kind of feelings toward this minipet or would that be an overreaction?

But at least AntiGw got one thing right. It IS a luxury item and it DOES need to be treated like it. So where do I put my gems?

It is OCD for me. That doesn’t make it true for everyone else who wants the Mini.

Well.. Just to get the repeat claims of collectors having OCD (Even if true in your case):

Here’s wiki:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking; extreme hoarding; preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts; relationship-related obsessions; aversion to particular numbers; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room. These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and financial distress. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and potentially psychotic. However, OCD sufferers generally recognize their obsessions and compulsions as irrational, and may become further distressed by this realization.

The only symptom that even remotely sounds recognizable and what I guess people keep refering to is the “extreme hoarding” – If you really call collecting every minipet in a game you like “extreme” then sure I have OCD! I’m however neither uneasy, scared or worried by the thought that my mini collection is not complete. I am just disappointed in Anets decision to make that collection impossible to complete. If that sounds like extreme worry caused by intrusive thoughts, then sure I have OCD.

Every collector in this thread has several times said they are disappointed that they now can’t complete their collection. Sure, it’s okay when people can’t complete SAB to whine like maniacs, but as soon as it’s not palyable content we are talking about we are just entitled OCD freaks. K!

Those that got lucky will still be happy to get a break from either the grind or cost of obtaining it the hard way. In the Anet needs to make as many people as happy as possible and giving special preference to the few is a horrible mistake to their business.

Sums it up for me. It’s not like anyone are opposed to freebies for the ones participating in Anets events. But not like this.

It gives people another incentive to visit the con, whether it’s organized by Arena.net or a third party. Next time a con happens, people are more likely to attend.

And you don’t think that could have been done without stepping on a few players in the process? They did not have to do a minipet to give that incentive.

It’s not a slap in the face, you need to stop overreacting. Teach yourself that you can’t have everything you want, if your parents haven’t.

You are not me, so obviously you don’t feel the same way. Surprise. Several players have stepped in here to say how disappointed they are, how they hate to see they can’t complete their collection anymore. Some people even sold their collection. But im overreacting when I see my collection and feel slapped, ok. It’s still how I feel about it. Teach yourself to accept other people feel different about things?

Let me just try that without an infraction; I too get very frustrated with the lack of communication.

They did get something from handing out the minis. It may have not been money, but it has been something they thought was worth it. Like publicity.

It didn’t have to be exclusive, but it didn’t have to be non-exclusive either. There is nothing wrong with exclusive cosmetic items. They are cosmetic.

“Publicity is the deliberate attempt to manage the public’s perception of a subject” – Wiki

I don’t see how an exclusive minipet would get them publicity in any way. I don’t see anything they could have gained from an exclusive minipet besides allowing people to make a profit (eBay) and taking a dump on their collectors.

I’m guessing your definition of cosmetic is pretty vs. serving a purpose. Okay. You got me. They serve no purpose. They are pretty. And that’s okay, I don’t mind (that much) not having it. But at the very least I still mind the gap in my collection. Cosmetic or not, letting every player see an empty spot for a minipet that can’t be obtained is just a slap in the face everytime you open your collectible tab. The very least they could do was to remove the slot for the mini (Make it a seperate category) as it is not obtainable in anyway through the game which I play.

But then again, maybe they should make an achievement too, something like;

Gamescon Attendee:
Flew 5.000 miles to wave at an ArenaNet employee
Suggested locations: Germany
0/1 tiers completed
Points this tier: 200 (Hard achievement, points as appropriate)

Whatever, that makes no difference.

It makes all the difference. You are making empty arguments with fictional scenarios about Anet actually getting something from handing out the minis.

I get it. They wanted to give something nice to those visiting their team. Didn’t have to be exclusive. In anyway. They could even just have handed them out there as a preview, and released the minipet later. Obviously still hoping its the case.

As for OCD, what can I say. I have it, I live it, it sucks most of the time. Feeling the need to have them all is strong. I normally never collect all of something because like most things in life it’s simply not possible. But every time it happens and I miss part of a set it certainly bothers my mind. All I can do is ask for a response and give a suggestion and hope they listen.

Yet I wish people would stop talking about OCD, because this issue sucks, with or without it. I do not have OCD. But i still log in to see that gaping hole in my collection now everyday knowing that I won’t be able to complete it because the minipet practically does not exist. Same goes for entitlement.

You are like that Dontaine guy on youtube…

Money doesn’t have to go directly into Arena.net’s pockets to benefit them. Arena.net got other stuff for the mini, which they apparently think is enough. If it’s not, it’s up to their legal department.

If you can’t get that mini for whatever reason, you are simply not the target audience for it.

I’m sorry but I have to also disagree. Whatever point you’re trying to make, you are not making.
When we are litterally complaining on forum that we can’t throw our cakitten Anet because it’s not in the gemstore I see absolutely no reason why we should not be their target audience. They are a company. Companies want to make money. Simple right?
I think I get what you are trying to argue though; They got a bit more attention at Gamescon/PAX because of the minis… Except no one knew the minipet would be released there. And with the exception of earning 700$ from eBay those visitors would not have been less happy have they been given a gemcard, some exotic weapon or other freebies that we have access to too. There is absolutely no reason to make the pet exclusive.

The fix for that now would be to give EVERYONE a Mr Sparkles mini, that sure would kitten those who bought one(confirmed, I looked it up on ebay. Bidding has ended on this item.) and de-value it.

While I’m often on the side of those who bought something expensive, only to see it devalued, I don’t see it as a problem here. Anet is not eBay. It’s not really their fault that people buy GW2 stuff there. But that doesn’t mean they have to lead them there to actually get something related to the game. So im kind of split in that regard.

The fifteen people who actually care about the issue will certainly make an impact on their bottom line.

Before putting out numbers please tell me where they are from. I get that you are on the other side of this, but you aren’t really helping any side with comments like that.
The thread in GW2 Discussion forum managed to get to get to 4 pages of length and over 10.000 views. I consider that a rather big issue. If you think that’s 15 people that’s ok

Earlier in the thread you said you gave up having a rational discussion. Yet you did not at all comment on my answer to you.

Is this different from the really rare ones in GW1? People would kill their mother for a mini kanaxai in gw1 as far as I remember.
Or for the mini frog, which was the rarest of all.

Yes it is different. For a number of reasons too:

1st of all the frog: One of a kind, and only a Dev had it. Doesn’t count in my head, it wasn’t possible to get.

2nd: All minipets were tradeable. Even if some minipets were really rare they were still tradeable – And more importantly, tradeable within the game.

3rd: No collectible tab in GW1. While they were “collectibles” you didn’t have a place to see your collection in the same way as GW2. In GW1 you just had the minis. In GW2 it shows as something you are missing.

Anet doesn’t care if people trade the codes. They probably expects and intends it to be this way.

There is nothing OCD about it, and it was brought into the last thread as well. It is simply the mind of a collector. It does not make sense to release something for a collection that is not part of the same domain. It is as if I needed to collect a coin to complete my stamp collection. It simply doesn’t make sense, yet my collection remains incomplete.

But I’ve heard of stamp and coin collectors paying huge sums of money for rare items, it’s not unusual.

Because that’s part of that domain. When I bought Guild Wars it was with the expectation that I would have access to all the content. Delivered. I furthermore expected that anything that wasn’t directly accessible would still be available within the game, since it is part of that game (Aka Gemstore which is where we dump our large sums of money, obviously). This of course with the exception of HoM – Info which was readily available that there was specific titles and things you could only achieve from HoM. That’s what I thought I bought into.

I actually used to collect stamps. It’s not that different from collecting minipets, but the domain is of course another. The whole country/world is now a potential place to obtain a collectible. When you start collecting stamps you may not have any goal, you just want to see how many you can collect. However if you bother looking into it, all info is readily available, aka a catalogue of stamps and the expected value of a stamp. As such you know that you can go out in the real world and try finding stamps for your collection as well as you can buy it from others (Or even better, trade). That’s the domain for stamp collection. You can go out and buy entire albums with room for every single stamp. I have 2 albums covering every stamp ever released in Denmark. Now what if the people who produced those all of a sudden decided that a stamp from USA should be part of that collection?….. That’s what I feel Anet just did.

Anet controls the domain of minipets. They control how new ones are designed and how they are obtainable. Since I’m collecting minipets I expect it to be obtainable within the obvious domain of GuildWars. And for a year they have been. I’ve been to every corner of Tyria, I have defeated Liadri, won Moa Racing several times, saved those Laurels to buy Snuffles and never missed a minipet in the gemstore.

Then Anet changes the rules. Not only do they create a new domain for what we collect. They also make it part of the same collection, meaning that our collection is destroyed unless we are willing to explore this new domain. (aka explore our wallets on eBay)

Recalculate and cap daily APs

Treeline.3865

I like the idea and it is something I have thought about as well.
The daily/monthly system IS broken, unless the leaderboards truly should represent who has been online the most. That is not what achivements represent to me. Achievement leaderboard only makes sense as to indicate who have mastered the largest part of all content. Most people have more achievement points from visiting a Laurel Vendor than from some insanely hard jumping puzzle achievement. The daily/monthly system simply does not fit into the achievement scheme. I’d like it the best if achievement points rewarded for doing the daily chores were simply removed, but if Anet insists on keeping it they should at least allow players to do old dailies. Give us a calendar and let us pick a daily for today. Make it possible to maybe only complete 2 dailies on 1 day. That way it does not kitten anyone. Players on the leaderboard should not be kitten by this – Other people will still have to do the same content that they did.

It simply doesn’t make sense, yet my collection remains incomplete.

Holy Grind Wars 2!

I find that GW2 is playable entirely without grind. But that’s where it stops. If you want anything, and I mean anything beside basic gear for your character and access to content you need to grind more than I have ever experienced in any game. And that’s not what I had hoped for the game. That said they are getting better at rewarding players for being skilled which I like. But I don’t care for how much “optional grind” they are putting into the game.

No Money, No Tribulation Mode

The problem with Tribulation mode is that it does NOT require skill (in most places) – It is simply trial and error. You have to follow an invisible path. There is one, and only one way that is possible – try, die, try, die, try, die try – Hey I got a bit further. Even following Dulfys video for World 1, Zone 1 I used nearly 30 continue tokens. If I had to figure out the invisible path myself it would require hundreds. Unless you spend the next 14 days farming for continue tokens you won’t have the ability to play Tribulation mode unless you want to start from the beginning every time.

While I don’t care much for the Tribulation Mode (was expecting something else), it is ok for what it is. But forcing those who actually want to play it to grind for continue tokens is just dumb. (And a hint that we should buy the permanent token)

I agree. But a good company like Anet should have realized that this would end on eBay and make the poor fools part with their money.
