Ever heard of discovery? Put few pieces in there and see what happens. It rewards you with load of XP and a new recipe. Never level crafting in GW2 like in WoW, use discovery. Period.

Discovery indeed is a great way at leveling crafting – up to a point.

Often not, the player levels too fast for crafting to be of use for his current level. Another problem is that in order to level crafting one needs mats. In order to obtain these mats one must grind and kill numerous different mobs for said mats. This results in the player once again out leveling the usefulness of crafting all in attempt at obtaining a measly scale.

While working for mats isn’t a problem in itself, the amount of mats needed to create for example 1 master insignia, is currently a little high.

Thus the whole cycle becomes one large straneous grind, where the player will often not be able to craft level appropriate items due to not having enough of the proper materials to level his craft.

The grind now begins.

and once you find the mobs that drop the mats you need and start farming them, guess what? a half hour down the road nothing but grey trash for a half hour.

it’s more efficent to work part time 2nd job at mcdonald’s in canada and spend that money on gems for gold than to actually play gw2 and work towards your exotics through in game activities.

isn’t that great?

it’s an ncsoft game. one thing you learn playing ncsoft games long enough(i’ve been doing so for 8 years) is unlike most other companies’ games, botters know that ncsoft won’t bother with them directly, so they can feel confident to bot out in the open.

any other game, they’d rarely be seen in public, but this is ncsoft we’re talking about, so botters know the GM staff will just punish legit players in increasng “anti bot measures” rather than deal with bots directly.

i guess no one else cares about their hard earned work in guild upgrades vs having a server with non toxic atmosphere?

you don’t have to grind at all. you can work a 2nd job at mcdonalds part time craft and gear up fully without grinding at all, and far more time effectively than actually playing the game itself.

you aren’t meant to grind, and if you try to do so you will be penalized for doing it. if you have only 2 hours to play you will only be able to have fun progressing for half that time at 80 before the forced downtime kicks in.

i spent $80 on gems for gold to level my crafting augmented by leveling casually. now i know i should’ve simply not crafted at all and used those gems to buy the best exotics in the game at 80.

and tbh all i wanted to do was craft myself and guildies bags. but the singular main cost of bags is the vendor mat, and $20 per 20 slot bag just isn’t happening. even for myself alone.

a 20 slot bag would take maybe a single dungeon run in wow, but instead here it will take a week of grinding with hours per night of casual sessions spent in forced downtime mode.

takes the joy out of crafting for sure.

any chance that we will be able to transfer servers as a guild and keep our upgrades intact?

or server is being griefed by some yuoutuber fan zerg guild that join wvw maps in groups of 30 then idle in the base spamming chat about how we’re losing so badly and so on and so forth.

while we enjoy the target rich enviorment of a server dominated by a zerg guild who actively impedes the viability of the server in wvw, utlimately socially it’s furstrating to deal with people who derive their pleasure from ruining a server and driving the rest of the competent wvwers away.

a week ago we had epic wvw battles where we won against enemies when outnumbered. this week we’ve had nothering but pug herders throwing people straight into upgraded and defended walls all night to large repair bills.

i’d love to take my guild to a more viable but perhaps underpopulated server, but we’re less than 12k influence to the final guild bank upgrade, let alone armourer and emblem upgrades.

this isn’t wintergrasp. wvw isn’t meant to be fair at all times. it’s meant to have mobs and nodes to mine. these contribute to making it the best wpvp/classic mmo pvp experience since lineage 2.

As a sidenote wintergrasp DOES have mobs and nodes to mine, and it is by no means fair at all times.

maybe tol borad is a better example? wotlk AV? wvw isn’t those things. it’s classic mmo pvp, not some bf3 mode tacked on to an mmo.

still waiting on the at 50s or my 100 or so copper ore from the first few hours of headstart.

should i make a support ticket?

idk if it matters but i (obv) bought the gold for this purchase with gems.

Horde of Miscreations [HoM], borlis pass, guild upgrade queue appearing blank this morning, ccan’t see if the influence buff we had ready yday was used or still vavailable or what. treasure trove upgrade we’ve had in progress for 2-3 days appears in the list of available upgrades.

hopefully just the same display errors we were getting the first 2 weeks.

videos from the last couple weeks since headstart of Horde of Miscreations taking on wvw.

like subscribe comment on how my taste in music sucks, learn a little about anti zerg tactics and how smaller groups can make a big difference in wvw.

i made 2 transactions in teh first few hours of the game, and they do not show up in my transacation history nor have i recieved the items nor have i gotten my money back. they simply disappeared immidiately despite taking my money.

i filed bug reports immidiately, was not sure if i needed to do anything else. the gold lost equals about 50s.
