Guild Wars 2

i would like to say sorry to a.net and to a.net alone for my behavior. i guess i got carried away by my emotions and my inner @holeness. but i don’t care what others think of me after the things that i said anyway so yeah.

i was on the negative side of things. something is better than nothing. thank you, a.net.

Yaks/CD/Kaineng again.

Yaks and CD are NA dominant servers. Kain takes significant points back through the Asia/Oceanic WvWvWers. But idk, CD has a Malaysian Team going but i notice that they are spread on time zones.

you could lead on level 2 upleveled char for the lulz.

i wanna see guild wars 2 played by an elephant on a laptop.

because it is the only way that you can identify that it is eternity.

whole map grab range imo. so if you die on the farthest part of the map and respawn and forgot your loot, you could still get it.

how about blue gems being trade-able with ingame gold and red gems being bought with real cash?

and items bought with blue gems can have all the RNG that they want. while red gems the actual item that you wanna buy.

Morrigan.2809:

I could never understand how people would buy gems and then convert to gold- especially back when the game launched.
I have always just bought gems to buy stuff I found useful or liked- I can’t actually imagine converting real cash to game cash, provincial of me, I know :P

well they want to control inflation. they appeared to promote a low rate of gem to gold. they had even an economist to defend that. they want to keep the rates low to give value to ingame gold. anything to inflate the economy they did action – banning overly farming/botting, gold selling and even exploits. with this mindset of theirs, their gems became in default overpriced. so those gem to gold buyers of the past are confident that the rates will be at or near constant all through out.

but some, including me, wanted back then to raise the rates to what it is now, for them to keep up with the third party competitors coz we thought that it is better for the players to buy gold from a.net and it will be likely if their rates are almost the same if the rates. what did we get, we get infracted and suspended.

and all this kitten that we did are tokenized in the form of 3 useless minipets.

no man, if they give something amazing to me, it follows that they will give also something amazing to others because it is not only I who spent cash on gems. you’re making it sound like I’m the only one deserving with good gifts and is feeling entitled, which i’m not. I’m just saying that the rewards/gift are lacking. the fact that it stressed out “those who bought gems SINCE THE BEGINNING” is what infuriates me even. Because we all know, at least i know since i played since the beta, that the gems are overpriced by the small gem to gold exchange rate.

Entitles is entitled. It’s free. They didn’t have to do it. You don’t look at a GIFT and say it’s not good enough. You must be a bundle of joy at Christmas in your house.

i don’t receive gifts from my electric company every christmas. i receive gifts from those people that i didn’t give any money to.

i did receive promotion discount from my phone company though last christmas. the iphone 4s got for half price and it’s cool coz i can actually use it (aka not useless)

DeathMetal.8264:

alco is just bitter that the gift he recieved is not what he wants/needs. He spent 4k gems that equates to 10g back then, and as he said, cant get over it. Well, that’s life. Early adopters either strike it big, or lose big.

i can’t get over it because they, arena.net defended it.try scouring old threads in the Black Lion Trading Post. Try following my messages. i was one of some who argued that they should make it 2g per 100 gems to be at par with the rates of the gold sellers back then. what do i get? i get infracted and suspended for “promoting gold sellers”. and look at now, it seems the sentiments back then won. we won. victory on our part who want to raise the rates. now, where is the a.net economist? he must’ve been hiding coz his words he ate.

This gift reminds me of the issues on gem to gold rates back then. it was a bitter fight. and wrapping “recompensation” to the word “gift” is what sucks. 3 useless minis for financially supporting the game within 10 months.

i bet most of these guys in these thread didn’t shell any cash, or didn’t buy gems WITH THEIR HARD EARNED $$ to convert to gold back then.

no man, if they give something amazing to me, it follows that they will give also something amazing to others because it is not only I who spent cash on gems. you’re making it sound like I’m the only one deserving with good gifts and is feeling entitled, which i’m not.

Because we all know, at least i know since i played since the beta, that the gems are overpriced by the small gem to gold exchange rate.

i don’t intend to be rude. i’m not even a whiner. this is the only time that i whined bigtime in the forums coz i received 3 useless green account bound minis for financially supporting the game within 10 months.

imagine when ascended armor and weapons arrive. the horror.

if mf benefits the party, you will have 1 guy on full mf on the mf department, the others on dps and/or support. the mf guy is actually giving the party good drops while the rest is taking care of the progression of the map/dungeon/mission.

So even there’s no thank you gift or there is, it’s almost the same since the stuffs that you get are almost equivalent to nothing.

Did you get your bonus gift? I mailed it to you awhile ago in game

I didn’t log in the game yet. if srs, ty but ill return it to you. this scenario is quite sad. having a player to cover for the inadequacy of A.NET that they can easily make up to. thank you for indirectly insulting A.NET, i hope you’re aware of that.

i’m disappointed with their thank you token. it would be better if it was a title instead like “I Spent Cash on BLTC” or “Don’t Care About the Money, Money, Money” or “A.NET/NCSoft Supporter” instead of 3 useless minipets.

this is not the hunger games dude. A.NET is not certainly saying “may the odds be in your favor.”. They couldn’t even compliment their gem patrons right. And you expect you get good stuffs from their RNG?

Mordule Standish.2371:

it’s an analogy. compliment according to how well they patronize you.

i was not complaining at first. because there was no stimulus.

if you are not aware, it involves compensating those who bought gems since the beginning. have you ever wondered or are you aware of the exchange rate in the early months of the game? spending 4000 gems will just get you around 10 gold. and i did that. many people did that. compared to now, think of being ripped big time. as i mentioned, even the resident a.net economist defended the old micro small exchange rate. this i still carry over. but i don’t mind. i just close my eyes and not think about it.

and receiving a mail that tells me these 3 minipets are equivalent to hundreds of dollars of patronizing, well that’s almost a joke. opening old wounds. A.net’s gem to gold gets inflated and the early patrons who suffered from the cruel exchange rate get 3 useless minipets. what a joke.

anyway, where is the option to mail back these useless minipets?[/quote]

Wow. They did not have to give us anything at all. What a childish attitude. No one forced you to spend hundreds of dollars. That is all on you dude.[/quote]

Yes, they did not have to give us anything at all. But they gave us something that is comparable to an insult, especially to those who patronized them since the beginning. Back then, i repeat, 4000 gems will get you ~10 gold. And they defended that. Exchange rate gets inflated and do you see people in the forums complained bout it? No. And they give us useless things saying that those are what we get for being gem buyers SINCE THE BEGINNING. If you know your English right, this is almost saying that all those cash that you spent is equivalent to 3 useless minipets. This doesn’t work in real life. Heck even in New York restaurants if you undertip the restaurant, you’ll be chased. Companies who don’t compliment their loyal customers well will be left by their customers in favor of other companies if their perks are better. It’s not even an issue of being childish ingrate. I appreciate the move by A.NET. I’m not suprised even. It was expected. But 3 minipets? Come on. They are useless almost equivalent to nothing. So even there’s no thank you gift or there is, it’s almost the same since the stuffs that you get are almost equivalent to nothing.

1.) You go in Resort A for a vacation and spend $2000 dollars and they give you a complimentary shirt when you leave.

2.) You go in Resort B for a vacation and spend $2000 dollars and they give you a lottery ticket giving you the chance to win a car and a complimentary shirt when you leave.

You know which resort to return to next time right?

This isn’t a resort its a game.

Seriously, once again, if we had not been given these as a gift you would not be complaining. Were you complaining before the gift?

You are the minority in this thread as you can see most everyone else seems happy with the gift.

Now go start your own thread titled, “I bought gems Anet now give me some free kitten!”

If you are really this upset about it the next Dragon Coffer I get I’ll mail it to you as a bonus to your gift. I hope you win something fancy.

it’s an analogy. compliment according to how well they patronize you.

Dude….they’re holographic. They are worth hundreds of real dollars. It’s like being on board the Millennium Falcon.

can i use the minipets to bash people in wvwvw or to make my char look cooler at least?

kitten no.

i’d be happier if they mailed us an exotic item. at least i can sell them for gold. or salvage them for ecto. or send them to someone as a gift coz they’re not kittening account bound.

make them minipets not account bound so i can send them and can make other people happier than you make me.

and we give us 3 minipets that we cannot even profit from.
at least compensate our patronizing well by giving us an almost rare weapon skin.

Or they could have just given us nothing at all and probably no one would have noticed or said anything. I don’t recall seeing threads before this happened where people were saying, “I bought gems now where is my free stuff!!”

Man, some people will find reasons to complain about anything.

well they gave us something that is useless. so i guess they couldve have just given us nothing at all so you would think that their act is not good enough.

thank you a.net but gem buyers should also have a complimentary dragon weapon ticket too.

C’mon man, don’t push it. The players are consistently ignored or feel mistreated, and they send us something nice to make up for it. And all you can do is ask for more free stuff?

I mean, I’m no fan of RNG chests, or the way Anet has been running the show, but this was a nice gesture that deserves our respect, even if I don’t care about minis.

at least send us something useful. and of value.

we cannot even sell the minipets. or use it. or make our character pimped. the cash that i/we spent during the early months of the game, where 100 gems is just less than 30 silver or even less than that, is not yet evened out. it hurts me so much looking back to months before that even the a.net economist defended the measly and almost laughable exchange rate. and they give us 3 minipets that we cannot even profit from.
at least compensate our patronizing well by giving us an almost rare weapon skin. or making the minipets sellable. or be only be gotten by those who paid them cash so its value will be high and high amount of gold can be gotten from them.

yb-cd-kn is the most balanced matchup so far among all matchups, basing on the current scores.

i will be really glad as their real money paying costumer if i get a complimentary dragon weapon ticket too (to follow i hope)

thank you a.net but gem buyers should also have a complimentary dragon weapon ticket too.

bought 450 ectos before the patch. was a good buy.

from a normal Dragon Coffer

Polly is the title of my favorite Nirvana song.

so ill just farm the normal coffers. its still RNG but free.

i don’t know. d;ck could be c@ck, which means a rooster. so polla/pollos could mean a rooster/roosters.

Mammoth.1975:

Champion X is meaningless. There’s a matchmaking system, your win rate will approach 50% once you find your rating even if you have no thumbs and no fingers on your right hand. Thus, 400 games played = champion, and 400 is not a lot. Try X of the Arena.

x of the Arena will still lose vs a Zerg, unless the zerg is composed of 100% x of the arena

i only macro skill 1.

if i pay with real money, i want the actual product, not the chance of getting the product.

Do you go to a shopping mall and pay to play a roulette to get the cool dress that you want? no.

There should be 2 kinds of Gems – Red Gems which you get from exchanging in game gold and Blue Gems which you get from spending $$. And let the red gems be tied to RNG.

you champion titles are worthless vs a zerg

unless all of the zerg have champion titles.

solo play – dps. group play – support. cleric’s guardian’s natural place is in wvwvw, not pve.

so welcome to wvwvw i guess.

good gameplay, gay music.

one thing i notice, yaks and cd zergs are softies. nothing compared to what we had the chance to experience vsing maguuma zergs (e.g. DERP).

Yes, I have. I play WvW pretty often. Why the heck would you need a DPS meter for WvW? We were talking about PvE when I said that. Please go back and read.

go back and read my post too. i said Guild Wars 2 is not a “DPS only” game.
