love the screenshot!
hate the event. won’t even bother because time spent is way too long for crap loot. i guess it is back to champ and invasion farming until that bores the heck out of me…
also, it is just one more event that has turned into another shout fest between the newbies and the know-it-alls. the shouting is proportional to the player’s frustration level.

where’s the bubbling lava on the node during the pick action? it is missing! this is not what i paid 10 bucks for…
i’m actually getting better drops with the account bound MF. i also like having my gear stats free of MF, so that i don’t have to chose between better build stats or better loot stats. thanks ANET!
i had 3/4 before the patch reset the monthly. i completed the monthly today, and got the standard issue monthly reward (with the 10 laurels).
Please, for the love of all that is good, add a tracker whenever the meta acheevo list is longer than two items! This is especially important for us ‘geriatric’ players whose minds tend to wander and lose track.

i agree OP. i don’t even bother TP’ing them anymore either… just destroy them on sight!
ha! i won’t even dare look at attempting to acquire the needed mats, let alone the precursor, for a legendary with the current state of mat farming nerfs, DR and RNG.
i agree with OP that doing so is an unrewarding grind fest.
well, i’ve been waiting for some reason to start playing again… and have been monitoring these DR, RNG, loot, farming rewards issues for almost a month. it just seems the ‘fixes’ are making the game reward less for time spent playing. i wish the loot nerfs were taken out so that it flowed like it did just after release. playing the game for the few hours a week i have, actually felt exhilarating and rewarding. i could actually gather enough mats to craft good exotics for alts. i wasn’t overly concerned with getting exotic drops because i could craft them… yet, even then the exotics dropped more frequently than they do now. until i stopped playing a month ago, i had not received one exotic drop since January… 5 months of playing without one exotic drop, or mystic toilet lucky reward! that’s just not a good enough rewards system for me to consider this game fun to play. that is the only reason i play games… to have fun. if it feels like unrewarding work, it is not fun. period.
i started playing rift as it went f2p, and i gotta say, at least for now, the rewards (loot) you get just playing are so much better than what this game has devolved into. in fact, in just a half hour of play there is so much loot and money earned that managing it all makes you weary. i also enjoy fishing again.
i really want to love this game enough to play it again, and maybe that will happen sometime in the near future. but, until then, i won’t be playing or buying gems to gamble with RNG, or grind against unfair DR or time-sinking without reward.
Well, I’ve had to stop playing because it is too frustrating to login and play anymore. It feels like an RNG driven grind… unfair. I have played since day 1 beta. I didn’t care much about the slow rate at earning gold, because the loot was pretty good. Now it seems the loot drops are awful because of RNG. I don’t play in the dungeons or make use of the AH, so my play style really takes a hit with RNG at obtaining random good loot.
In the beta and just after beta days, I used to get a few exotics a week. I haven’t had a single exotic drop for me since January. I didn’t get to bent out of shape about it, since I could farm a long time and craft a few exotics for a couple of toons. That is, until recently when I started playing Rift again after hearing they were going F2P. The loot and gold earning rate is so much better than what this game has fallen into.
Don’t get me wrong. I still really like playing this game as far as WvW and the combat mechanics. But, until RNG is changed into a more rewarding loot table algorithm, I won’t be coming back. It’s just too depressing and I don’t play games to feel depressed.
I would love to be able to dye backpacks and weapons, and the air breathing apparatus.
I’m really having fun being in Southsun this time. Mostly because so many other players are there running around zerging stuff. Kinda has that WvW feel… and it looks so much better than Orr.
well, i actually thought they were spoofing Ken and Barbie… haven’t run into Faren yet.
Will there ever be a way to reset your WvW abilities points? I spent points in abilities that I would like to change.
it is the rollback that is frustrating. i lost rares and gold from the SB event. i’m getting really close to quitting this game. good drops are much less now than when the game launched, and i haven’t had an exotic drop in over 5 weeks. not fun anymore, and these server rollbacks are becoming the last straw.
