@IndigoSundown, Yes I have, not it hasnt. enough proof its a joke. No bitterness at all. Maybe you didn’t read my post well enough. I said I didn’t care. I said report doesn’t work. Imo its from what I have seen. Maybe for some it has. I have seen no evidence. Since this has been happening for months and months. Would be another example. Seems your just mad, about what I don’t know nor care but thought I would waste some time to respond.
Trying to say im bitter is just a lame attempt on your part to troll. LOL now run along

not that I care either one bit if they nerf or do not nerf the trains. I just wished people would stop saying, “report them” if reporting them actually worked, the problem would not exist. Because in time they would all be gone. The report funtion is a joke.

He must be new around, Yes Vol has credibility. One of the few people when I see comment I actually read and not just skim over quickly.

But yes gossamer prices going up was a given. I invested very heavily in that as well.

[Video Guide] Stop Guesting!

@Shrimpit, totally understand the frustration of not being able to play on home server, I finally just gave up trying to get on mine after last night. So many attemps to no avail.

But, for people to take you seriously on your video. It would be better to have a video of you doing all you suggest for others to do. Succeed. Post it and show people how its done.

Sad part? This event will die soon.

imho, people will stop for the most part. Yes there are some nice items one can get. But since they are very rare and hard to get, most people will go back to what is consistenly profitable. And that is the champ farm trains. As long as there is money in them, people will go to what they know they can get money from consistenly. Not dissen the champ trains, I have done my share. But why should someone deal with the frustration (overflow) (lack of organization) for a “chance” at something. When they can go easymode champ farm in frostgorge.

Thought this post may be fun. For people to put things they just noticed going on in game after a year. Or took them awhile to catch it.

Mine was the bird taking any mail you send. I see birds all the time so never thought anything about it. Until I realized everytime I sent a message a little bird would swoop down and fly off.

It is time to Disable guesting

in Tequatl Rising

Posted by: danielrjones.8759

danielrjones.8759

@Eternal Grace, I believe guesting is why I havent been able to get on my server. I was able to the first 2 times teq showed up. After that, I haven’t been able to get nothing but overflow, even if it was an hour before teq would show.

I would not get on a forum makeing statements of fact without proof, only based on my assumptions. Just because I perceive something to be true doesn’t mean it is. Thats the difference between us. You adamantly claim the problem is all guesting without proof. I feel before one makes accusations, one needs PROOF, which you simply do not have. Now it appears your definition is different than mine, by your comment, “proof enough for ME” By your logic then guesting is the problem there are long queue times for wvw, if you can get in one day but not the next, it must be guesting. Or according to you anyway. Which we know simply is not true for wvw.

I have friends from many different servers I hook up with from time to time. As much as I like guesting, either them to mine, or I to theirs. That being said, I wouldnt have a problem if they stopped guesting completely, Only reason I would want it, so all the people would stop freaking crying about it.

if people would put up the proof guesting is 100% their problem, they would have a leg to stand on, otherwise making a statement of fact with ZERO proof, only makes others laugh at them. Yes I believe guesting can/may contribute to the problems. But my belief is not proof.

People complain about guesting, the same people would complain if guesting wasn’t allowed. It is a no win situation for anet. Do love people that are 100% sure the problems exists only because of guesting.

@Aorin, if I can home and cars were in my drive I would have them towed. But of course they wouldnt be guest either. If I invited someone over, (and who is to say some are not invited) I would park a little farther away, and wished I had got there before they did.

Didn’t read the entire wall of text, when ppl post like that, i usually just read short comments as most of the will condense the wall.

As far as plat goes. I dumped my share on the market early yesterday as well as some other items gain in sparkfly. I felt, ok, there are gonna be thousands of people milling around sparkfly before and after teq. Usually when ppl do that they pick up whatever is nearby. Considered it may only be 3-9 ores per person, multiply by thousands, it would seem logical, prices of those would go down. just my 2 cents.

I could be wrong, often am when it comes to mmo. But I feel gems prices will stay low as long as people are able to make money in the game. Champ trains, and farming ori/wood since prices are high. Not dissen champ trains, but as much money as I’ve read people are making, they have no need to buy gems. Unless they just want specific items from BLTP, seems lately only time they go up is when they have pretty good offers/items

@Fror, I could have written that post you made. I was the same way. Cept I started chasing them a month after release and they were my only focus. This was unill about 3 months ago. When I realized what it was doing to me. Since I had stopped chasing them I am enjoying the game more. I no longer feel like I MUST log in to finish this or that, or I have 2 more of the daily list to complet.

Pace of new content - TOO FAST

danielrjones.8759

I hope they read this thread and consider what most have said. The last paragraph Astral put is dead on to me. I love GW2 and love new content. But someone(s) need a valium or two.
I remember the days of logging in GW1 and just staring at the screen wishing for something new. Now I log in GW2 and stare at the screen trying to figure out where to start every other week.

@Inspired, please don’t take my comment as a complaint. As said, I love the new content. Just there are times I’m overwhelmed. I do hope they will recycle some. If they don’t it is cool. I don’t chase after ap anymore, but would like to see their work instead of just reading about it.
edited because my “its” came out as kitten and when reread it made no sense. Of course the no sense is just me in general.

sounds very much like someone who never had to “earn” something on their own, been handed w/e they want/need and now something comes along which requires effort and time. As someone said, time is money. If those who do not wish to invest their time as other do, to acquire something, simple put. They do NOT deserve it. Still amazed at how many people abound in entitlement.

oh wow, another post that almost forces me to say something to op that will give me an infraction. So I will do my best not to. To op, first I feel this is nothing more than a troll thread. If this game is so freaking bad, why are you here? How is it unfair if you dont want to play sab again? How is putting sab in the game changing what fun you had with other content? in case you havent noticed sab is its own game, and does not change anything done on other maps. Learn to Waypoint. fair shmair, lifes not fair get used to it. I just don’t get the lack of……………..rest is a ban waiting to happen so I will stop.

I don’t know, if they didnt add this people would be complaining about that, It’s never a win win for anet no matter what they do. I for one am happy with the state of the game.

got to lvl 19 death lvln, but was happy to see the quest. I have to agree, death leveling was not hard at all once you learn the pulls. Pulling a group leaving pc on overnight, hoping you don’t dc. which i did many times. Is not by any stretch of the imagination hard. imo, harder no, much much much longer certainly.

Now I don’t want to be a hypocrite here, I did not like it when they changed drunk. And not make people spend the same amount of time. Guess one could say it would seem I have a double standard. lol,
GZ to op, good to see people still playing and working of the titles in GW.

@Aerlen Well said, and dead on. #2 on your list I have seen so many times. It’s insane. people are a quarter inch away from a wp and want a res. I do not expect someone to res me if I’m near a wp. and I do not bother to res them if they are completely down. And why people can not read the top corner of their screen is beyond me. It cleary says exactly what to do.

I agree with the part about getting in before the 10 min mark, and understand about the afkers. But would like to say, as far as the event (when I get in) I absolutely love it. Now I can’t speak for all servers, but on mine they seem pretty organized and have a high desire to complete the event instead of just farming. I’m sure there are times on GoM there are problems, but I have not had to endure any. Was able to complete all 13 maps with wins. Took a couple times on 2 of the maps.

to op, because of the amount of clicks it takes. I wanted to use something like that. Since there is so much speculation about what is acceptable or not on the forums. I sent in a ticket. The answer I got back, was no it is not acceptable and could possible lead to a perm ban….not exact words but along those lines. So I didn’t use it, took me a week or so to do all the clicking, as I could only stand to do so much at a time.

Very Specific Doubleclick Macro Question

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: danielrjones.8759

danielrjones.8759

about 4 months ago, I was working on the thirsty achievement. Spent the 700k karma needed. And found the amount of clicking was insane. I sent a ticket regarding using a double click program. I sent the ticket as I wanted an answer from anet. Fearing I could lose my account if I used it.
I don’t remember word for word what it said. But in the end. It was very nicely put. That I should not. It was also put. If I did use it. They could not guarantee it would not result in a perm ban.
Any third party program, any activity that gives a benefit that is not obtainable through normal playing could be banned. Any activity that shortcuts regular game funtions.
Now trust me. I very much wanted to use it. But did not. All it takes is once and you could lose all you have done.
