Guild Wars 2

Up until maybe a year ago (I have been playing 2 and a half years) I used to just vendor lvl 80 rares rather than salvage or TP them. It sounds idiotic to me now but I really thought I was doing myself a favour- I never used TP because it was several seconds slower than vendor and I never salvaged my stuff back then, I just vendored everything except exotics (which I sold on the TP). I did this because I didn’t consider the 30-40 silver very much and didn’t bother to think that I got hundreds of them and that adds up, lol.
Another one was that in the first week or so of playing the game (as a warrior), I didn’t think that you could put anything other than a shield in your offhand for some reason, I was amazed when I realised that wasn’t the case by equipping another thing in my offhand by complete accident.
One time I got completely stuck in the jumping puzzle in plains of ashford, again shortly after buying the game (but after I got to lvl 80) and I couldn’t find the exit. I started to panic and couldn’t get out for maybe 20-30 minutes until I realised again that waypoints were a thing.

Same problem for me. I got just over the playable level and then it just stopped so I tried to play. Nothing loaded so I exited immediately. I am now really worried everything will be bugged for me and I will lose loads of stuff when it finally starts working again. I am probably just paranoid about this stuff though hahaha.

As others have said, wait until the new legendaries are revealed, that is what I am currently doing because I would really regret making one now I would want to replace.

As far as getting a current one goes that fits ranger and revenant, bolt is an amazing skin and was my first legendary. It is also not too common (though it is by no means rare to see someone else with one) so you will stand out at least a bit.
However, for the actual look and effects of a legendary, in my opinion nothing even comes close to kamohaoli’i kotaki. The only problem is it is an underwater weapon so you won’t be able to show it off too often, but if you like exploring underwater, there is no better skin than that.

I liked the design, it was absolutely not what I was expecting but it was a nice surprise. I don’t know if he is big enough though, but that may just be because a lot of him was in the canyon, not shown. I will have to watch the trailer again and judge his size compared to teq or the shatterer for example. For the actual look of him though (assuming that was mordremoth himself, which I believe it was) I am very impressed that they went for the ‘made of vines’ look rather than the traditional ‘dragon’ look.

I have to say, I didn’t think I would ever see a trailer as good as the one at the end of season 2, but this one… I am just speechless. Most definitely the best trailer for anything I have seen. Mainly because Rytlock had the main part in it and he is amazing, the only character I genuinely like and care what happens to. His line when the mordrem says ‘all will serve the jungle dragon’ and then he replies ‘we serve no one’ was awesome and how he just kills the mordrem after that was just, I don’t know, if anything was going to send my hype levels through the roof that was it. I just hope he kills mordremoth (or whatever that was at the end) and we don’t steal the show, so to speak. I don’t really like my character taking the spotlight from all the npcs.
If indeed that was mordremoth himself, I think the design for him was very good as well and his voice sounded very intimidating and powerful. I can’t wait for launch.

My favourite places include the little forest area at the bottom of the grove that can be accessed through a water tunnel, Labrynthine cliffs in general when that was a map, Dry top (uplands + oasis) and new LA looks very nice as well.
The starter area in wayfarer foothills with all the spirits of the wild carved into stone on the cliffs, near the gate to hoelbrak is exceptionally beautiful as well as the spirit watch pvp map.

Although I never have and never will do it, or any other exploit for that matter, I don’t believe you can get banned for it, or at least I have not heard any stories of people being banned for it and many fractal groups I am in say you can’t (even though I still insist on doing it normally).
As for whether it SHOULD be bannable, that is a completely different matter and it is not really my place to say if it should be. I will say this however, in my opinion it is most definitely an exploit due to it being a safe spot and should never be done by a group. If a group decides to do it anyway they are doing it at their own risk because they are breaking the rules.
Also, it should be fixed as soon as it can be because it does take away from what is a quite fun and challenging encounter on higher levels.

I had a pretty funny fractal 49 group last week.I set up the lfg already having found swamp and the lfg said nothing other than ‘level 49’. After a couple of minutes the first guy, I believe it was a thief, joins they group, I say hi to him and before long we have a full group and run the three wisps easily first try. As I do with every group, as we are swimming to moss man, I say ‘no underwater’ which wasn’t a problem with anyone at the time. However, we wipe and then as we were getting ready for another try, someone says to me in party chat ‘I have never seen a meta build sword/shield warrior’ I reply ‘it isn’t a meta build’ and the guy responds with ‘why ask for meta?’ This is when I knew something wasn’t right. I said ‘I didn’t’ and then he says ‘why join this group then?’ Of course I didn’t, it was my group. After I explained that everyone except one guardian left the group. I asked if someone had changed the group description and it turns out they did! The guard joined a group asking for ‘lvl 49, exp, meta zerker, 1 guard, 2 ele’ this means that the thief at the start must have been the one to change the group description. After we remade the party we finished the fractal quickly with minimal deaths, the group description change had me laughing though.

Yes, we all have this restriction. This change was made a while ago, and although the intentions behind it are good, it does make life difficult for some players who like to mail trade or people in your situation. I have suggested before and will again here that the cap should be raised to a thousand gold, to accommodate people trading precursors or similar items, although it is not officially supported by Anet, it would make life a lot easier for a lot of people. I doubt it will be changed though as I think Anet have already said it would affect such a tiny minority of legit players it isn’t really worth worrying about.

My previous post bugged and wouldn’t show up.

At the moment I have 7 characters, however I only play one of them, all the rest are either chars I made only to get the pvp champ titles and then never played again, or characters I made to get more gifts of exploration and again, never played again after I was done.
Out of my just over 3k hours, about 2.4k I believe we’re played on my warrior and the rest was farming stuff that I couldn’t do with my warrior, not enjoying myself at all. I play only one char because I think it is much more convenient and easy to gear up to ascended, not to mention I hate to play any content that is not played on a level 80 with world completion, it just makes life a lot easier for me.

I agree that they can be inconvenient at times, but nowhere near enough to need removing, I actually like seeing them, it adds some life to the city and the bank/TP, without them, ignoring the players, the trader’s forum area would seem pretty lifeless in my opinion.

What I want to see in 2016:
-The entirety of living world season 3, with another 2 maps introduced along with it.
-the return of the crown pavilion
-The return of SAB
-More season 1-style festival events in general, such as another dragon bash.
-Some new fractals.

Basically, a lot of content updates and no feature packs because nothing introduced in those is of any use to me and they take development time away from the things I really enjoy. Of course this is just personal opinion and I would expect another feature pack because I am sure the majority of the community value them more than me.

In my opinion, Trolls revenge in LA is by far the hardest. Scavengers chasm is pretty annoying too. I find mad king’s clock tower and winter wonderland extremely easy however and am able to do them on almost all of my attempts. To me, the only real difficulty to them is the time pressure, troll’s revenge-and some other jumping puzzles- on the other hand, I can take forever to manage to complete.

I hope it will and hope it won’t at the same time. Let me explain:
It was by far the best content that has ever been added to the game imo, absolutely incredible boss mechanics and really did feel like it was a fight to save tyria, no exaggeration at all, I couldn’t fault it.
However I hope it doesn’t return because it will lose that feel of importance to the future of tyria and it may turn out to not be as challenging with more people now knowing what to do because of vinewrath (which doesn’t do marionette justice imo) and I would hate to see it become farm status like teq is now, I want to remember it as a truly challenging and fun boss, not something I just farm for rewards.
As far as it actually coming back goes, I doubt it will, but if it does it would be good if it returned as a fractal in some form.

While your question about whether or not it is allowed has been answered, I really have to ask what about it makes it ‘morally objectionable’ because all I see it as is helping out the community which of course doesn’t promote anything but a positive atmosphere. The fact that it is given a price changes nothing, I even see it as more helpful (2 players helping each other rather than only the seller helping and getting nothing in return if it was done for free.
Selling paths/instances is also extremely helpful for me and probably prevents a lot of anger and rage on harder dungeons and group content (if my group wipes in a dungeon I get extremely angry if I was already feeling a bit impatient and sometimes start raging (to myself, never in chat because I would hate to upset anyone and I only blame myself for what happens anyway usually). However some people may say things in chat that offend others if they repeatedly fail something which creates a MUCH more negative atmosphere than anyone selling could cause.
OP- as you already know, what you are doing is 100% Fine and I am glad you spend your time helping the community when you could be farming SW making more gold than you will be currently.

This would be a great idea. I do support this being added, because otherwise you have no idea of the person was just lying to you or there was a mistake and it was sent to someone else. If you know who you sent what to it would stop any of these problems.

The only issue is, if you did infact send it to the wrong person you would still have no way of getting your gold back and I believe they would be within their rights to keep it. Maybe add a ‘are you sure you wish to send this mail containing item x and y amount of gold to account z’ pop up before it sends would help stop the problem happening in the first place, unless there is already this system in place that I am not aware of (I rarely send mail).

Filters for lfg would be good as long as people who do not meet the criteria are actually incapable of joining your group, if it is just a simpler way of saying ‘5k AP exp zerk’, there isn’t much of a point, but it would be really helpful if it prevented unwanted party members from joining your group. I wouldn’t use it because I usually welcome everyone into my groups, but I am sure it would benefit a lot of experienced dungeon runners.

I feel exactly the same a lot- I grind one thing for ages and then do something else because I am so bored with it I can’t even motivate myself to do any more, but after I have done some thing else for a while, I go back to the content I was bored with and really enjoy it. I guess I just burn out on some things and then when I go back they become new and exciting again (most recent example I can think of for myself is edge of the mists).
I am sure a lot of others feel the same too, and it is also why people take short breaks from the game so they enjoy it more when they come back I guess.

I expect CGC to actually end the zerker meta- I hope they will make other play styles important. And (in my opinion) dungeons and fractals (even level 50) are really not that hard, they are more something that is only challenging until you know what to do, then after that you can do them without paying attention. What CGC (almost guaranteed to be raids) will be is something that hopefully never loses its difficulty, like liadri as an example- it doesn’t matter how many time you do that fight, it never gets easy and CGC should be just as difficult, only in a group setting.

Personally, because of the release date, I truly hope there is no Halloween event at all this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love the event but I would MUCH rather be playing HoT than farming the labyrinth. I know I don’t ‘have to’ do it, but I really feel like I do- I must get every achievement that gets released ASAP, especially temporary ones and if Halloween comes out when HoT does, I will have to be bored to tears in the labyrinth or farming lunatic inquisition instead of doing HoT things and having fun because that is permanent.
Again, I know I am not forced to do this by anyone other than myself but it is what I feel I have to do even when I would rather be playing new content.

About continuing the story, I didn’t expect it this year because last time it said ‘our annual Halloween event, blood and madness returns’ or something to that effect which basically confirmed it would be the same for the foreseeable future. I would love to be surprised however. Next year though, I would expect a continuation of the Halloween story and hopefully every year after that (I think the reason it was the same last year is because HoT was being developed. We can definitely expect new rewards this year though, even with HoT around when the event is still live.

I hope they don’t rerelease any old and exclusive skins like the shattered dragon wings, and I don’t even have them, and I hope I never will. Not because I don’t like them, because I wouldn’t have done anything to get them- I truly believe that exclusive items should stay exclusive and I don’t want players like myself who did not get them when they were first released to be able to get them now. It is a symbol of how long someone has played like others have said, and items like this I genuinely respect when I see on other players. I understand why most players would want to be able to get them now if they like them, but I would not feel like I deserve them, and they would lose all value when I see them on other people which would be a shame for those who got them when they were first available.

I doubt there will be any champ farm content in the new maps, the focus is more on challenge and events rather than just running in a circle farming the same champs. There could be some, however I doubt anything like the old queensdale champ tran will exist in new maps.
I also enjoy farming and is good to do when not really wanting to pay much attention but still get rewards, however I doubt we will be able to do this in the expansion, at least not without some measure of concentration.

I also noticed these. They say beta WEEKEND achievements so that makes me wonder if there is another beta weekend not far off. Maybe they are just the achievements from the last BWE though.
I sincerely hope these achievements are a mistake though because I do not want to play the beta weekend events even though I preordered because I don’t want the expansion spoiled for me and the miss out of 5AP, as an achievement hunter, would disappoint me.

I will admit, I have not read the whole thread, but about the meta, it really is not an issue for me nor should it be for anyone else.
As someone with dungeoneer title, I have run a lot of dungeons however I have never run anything other than a condition sword/shield warrior which is obviously not even close to meta. I do try to help the group with banners and the like but tbh, my dps is terrible. For this reason I will never join a speedrun party, I do not want to spoil anyone’s experience in game and that includes joining parties that do not want me and will have to waste their game time kicking me. I respect their wish to get dungeons done as fast as possible. The parties I do join are 99% of the time have no requirements and the other 1% is ‘Experienced pls’ when I really don’t feel like going through the dungeon with new players, although I try to be as helpful as possible as much as I can.
As for the availability of non-meta groups, I never have an issue with them at all, even for fractal 49/50 and from my experience the zerker only groups are the tiny minority even there.
Of course in some non-meta groups there are people who don’t want me because I am not running zerker and do not act very nicely to say the least, to these I just continue being nice and explain that the group allows any builds, there is no point getting in an argument and, sorry if I sound harsh, I don’t care if someone doesn’t like me/insults me online.
So overall, me experience using the lfg tool (it is all I use as I have no organised group/guild) has been very positive and the vast majority of people have been very kind and helpful and allow people to play however they want. I have never been in a speedrun group though so I can’t speak for that side oftheargument, but honestly, if you don’t meet the group requirements but join anyway you are likely making the experience lessenjoyable for both yourself and the speedrunners.

From my experience, the absolute fastest dungeon is SE p1. My record time on that path is ~6 mins and I never run zerker gear.
Second is CoF p1, I regularly get that one done in 10 minutes or less.
It is ver hard for me to pick a clear third place, however, AC p1/2, SE p3 and CM p1/3 are all about equally as fast (10-15 mins on a non zerker party). If I had to guess, I would say AC p1 is the quickest out of those.
Of course, this is just from my experience and other people may find others quicker. My advice would be, if you want a very fast dungeon, stay away from CoE (15-25 minutes), Arah (Can take hours in an inexperienced group) and some tricky, rarely done paths like CoF p3 or SE p2.

I am actually very excited for torch, I am sure it will work very well with my condi/hybrid type build which uses sword/shield + longbow. I will probably change to sword/torch + axe/shield so I can still show off my legendary shield, but i was doing map completion for the second time so I could get the legendary of my warrior’s new weapon (it is the only class I play) and Rodgort is a very nice skin which will look very good on my warrior.
As far as the skills it gets go, I don’t really care because I choose my weapons for the skins rather than how useful They are most of the time, but as some have been saying, a smoke field would be very nice for stealth and then in dungeons I will finally feel like I am actually doing something for the group (banners do not make me feel like I am helping very much) like providing stealth to get past some places.

moony.5780:

it costs 1000g i was also thinking about buying it…..but….why should i waste 1000g (which will take like 4 months for me) …if i can just get an extra bagslot (or 3) which will also be useful for a-net to get money

character inventories only go up to 160 and it is extremely inconvenient to have to swap between characters to get stuff, even more so than going to the bank a lot.
About the permanent contract, I didn’t know it was that much, but really you have to kitten whether it would be effective to not spend anything for 4 months and have ultimate convenience or to have a smaller inventory space.
Personally, if there is nothing else you really want, try not to spend much and you will reach 1k gold eventually without even really farming then you can buy it if you want.

Edit: ignore the ‘kitten’ please, it was supposed to say something else that I can’t write without it being censored, even with paces between the letters.

From my experience, I have no issue with playing only my warrior for 2 and a half years. I have 160 inventory slots and all I keep in my inventory is my copper-fed Salvage-o-matic and my birthday blaster and sometimes some random stuff like mordremoth boss organs from the silverwastes before I get the chance to get rid of them. The answer for saving inventory space is- for me- to not carry round any gear or anything like that. I do pve, pvp, wvw, dungeons and fractals all with my rampagers gear with sword/shield and longbow and have no issues with any of them. How ever, I don’t care about running a build that is even close to decent so many people may still have an issue with inventory space. And I would, for that situation, to store stuff in the bank and buy the permanent bank access contract (it’s fairly expensive, a few hundred gold I think, but nothing you can’t farm in a few weeks). And that item gives you an effectively huge inventory if you have many bank slots.

To be honest all I expect from groups I create are that they are level 80 and know the path we are doing (I always specify this in my group description). However if i join someone else’s group, I expect nothing other than what they specify (for example in a simple ‘p1’ or ‘p2’ I don’t expect anything, not even level 80, because it was not specified).
In other words, I expect that people meet the criteria specified in the group description.

To add to my earlier post, even if you are kicked for having low AP, is it really that much of a problem? You are usually kicked right at the start for things like that so you don’t have to waste any of your time on a run you won’t finish. If you are kicked, I understand why it may be frustrating, but it’s doesn’t make too much of a difference to the situation you are in- looking for a dungeon group. Just join another group because chances are this kind of thing will not happen twice in a row.
Also, people in ‘5k AP+’ groups, based on the ones I have been in, do not kick people for having less than 5k, provided they know the dungeon. I have run many of these groups with people with 3k or even less AP and have no issues. But yes, if the kicking really does annoy you (which is fully understandable), just make your own groups or join another group that shows up on the lfg tool.

I bet the pavilion will return before the launch of HoT. This is because Suriel the blazing light is in lions arch ‘training for the next gauntlet’. I think that is a teaser for future events. I can’t see it launching after HoT because that will mean it wouldn’t launch until well into 2016, given the inevitable break after the launch and LW season 3.
My guess would be that the pavilion will return some time in September, because we will be getting Halloween in October. The zephyrites will not return for a long time however because they crashed in DT, which is a shame because labyrinthine cliffs was a beautiful zone.

AP should definitely not be hidden, for two reasons imo:

1) I am extremely proud of my 20k AP, and AP really means a lot to me so I like the idea of showing it off to other players. I also like seeing other players with a lot of AP, which shows me just how much effort they must have put in to farming if they have like 27k. AP, although not a good indicator of skill, is just something it is fun to see, like it was when ranks were visible in pvp.

2) It will most definitely not solve the problem of AP elitism, the ‘5k AP or kick’ will just turn into ‘Display respected achiever or kick’. The only way to solve AP elitism is to take away titles, hellfire/radiant armour and zenith (and in the future pinnacle) skins. That would be very disappointing and would take away from the feeling of being rewarded for your achievements.

If you really are having trouble with being kicked for your AP, either make your own group or join one with no specific requirements. Sure, you MAY get kicked very rarely, but I have only seen a few people being kicked from groups I was in with no specific requirements for their AP alone, and they all had under 1k. Not that I would ever kick anybody from any party for their AP but sometimes other group members do.

I think I have the same problem. When I join a fractals group, I can’t join them, I just create my own instance when I enter fractals. I really hate this because people might think I am an lfg troll which I don’t like the idea of.
However, I CAN get into my group’s instance if no one is already inside when I join the group, but even then the ‘join your party in fotm’ looks a bit buggy (it says the fractal scale is 0 whatever level I do).
This isn’t an enormous issue for me, because I can just create my own groups but it is still extremely annoying.
This issue started after LA was rebuilt and way pointing to somewhere else does not fix the issue for me

Spider.3109:

Some tiny ideas about how fractal rewards should be in my oppinion.

1. I don’t like the fact that you should be able to buy a fractal weapon of your choice.

3. The golden fractal skins should be really, really seldom. The world of Tyria doesn’t need a second Eternity skin…

For the fact that you shouldn’t be able to buy regular fractal skins, I disagree. As long as they are priced high enough to still be noticed when a person has one, you should not take the choice of what skin someone gets away from them. These will be the lower-tier skins anyway after HoT launches.

However, I agree 100% that the golden skins should be extremely few and far between, even more so than fractal skins are now. I want to look at them and think ‘wow, that person has run a LOT of high level fractals’. I know technically they could get one every run, even at a 0.1% drop rate, but if that is not seen as an exclusive and prestigious skin set for that reason alone, the same could be said about practically every single skin in the game- someone could just get a few precursor drops in their first month of playing and be able to buy whatever they want. However, this is extremely unlikely so if you get the one you want, you will likely have had to grind high level fractals over and over, a task worthy of a reward very few will actually get.

The only time is is truly worth it to farm for drops is when it is for a rare account bound drop. Other than that, because everything in game has a gold value because of the trading post, the most efficient gold farm is the most efficient form of any type, because you can just buy whatever it is you want.
However, doing chest farm or dungeons for hours on end can get extremely boring so changing to farming risen in cursed shore for drops (maybe not even in a Zerg) could feel much more fun and rewarding.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

I’d bet money that Jormag is next . . . given the circumstances. Probably after Jory we’ll hear something of Krack. Bubbles will definitely be last since almost everyone seems to hate underwater content.

Why exactly do you think Jormag will be next? I have not found any evidence of this in game and the only thing I think could suggest that imo is a theory that jormag’s tooth in hoelbrak is going to be broken by Braham. I am just curious as to why you think Jormag is the next dragon because I have seen that theory several times.

The main thing I like the game for is the storyline. I also like dungeons and fractals, world bosses and other open pve in general. I also play pvp occasionally but I do not enjoy that quite as much.

I think that support might be able to replace it with the right one, but then again, maybe not, I don’t really know what items they can and cannot replace. Best think to do would be to write a support ticket and just see if they can do anything for you.

I am also looking forward to kralkatorrik and I suspect we will be seeing him in the next expansion. This is because trahearne said in the world summit instance that the pact were planning to go after kralkatorrik before they heard about mordremoth. I think based on that kralkatorrik is the most likely dragon to be in the next expansion.

I support the idea of adding this. Watching cinematics is more fun that playing the actual content if they are done well (HoT ingame trailer, mordremoth awakening cinematic after season 1) and although I haven’t watched the recap yet, I have no doubt it is amazing and would love to watch one for season 2.
However I don’t think that anything has been mentioned on adding one, likely because the content is permanent, but I am not 100% sure.

I play for a couple of hours each day at least. My advice would be to not get into a daily routine- some days do dungeons, other days do world bosses. That way you won’t get bored as quickly. With 3k hours played in just over 2 years, I admit I am playing a bit less than I used to, however I still play a lot and earn gold/mats while I am doing it and sometimes I really enjoy it. Currently I am farming for my ‘Grand Artisan’ title. Giving yourself a goal ingame also allows you to enjoy the game more- there will be a reward for you at the end.

If you don’t like anything, just buy the t6 mats and sell/store them. That’s what I do when I am not trying to get any ascended recipes/anything else. If anything new is added for laurels, I doubt it will be worth 100 or more, so you can get it quickly with just daily login, so it won’t be too bad if you just buy a load of t6 now.

You can purchase only dragons reach part 2 as far as I know and you do not have to play any other episodes.

I am massively in favour of this idea, but why only 2-3 pieces and not a full set for each boss? I hate mixing and matching armour so I would love it if there was full sets to get. Maybe the drop rate should be slightly higher and you are able to choose which piece you get, with a collection achievement for each set and a title for getting every set. However I don’t see this system being added for old bosses, so hopefully this will be used in HoT bosses.
I suspect that my favourite sets would be shadow behemoth or fire elemental by the way.

I always keep my mats because you never know when you will need them and I absolutely hate spending gold on things so if i already have them stored up there is no need to do that. The prices might go up for whatever reason too so you can sell them then if you want, but I always wait until I have full 1500 mats in my storage before I sell the excess mats i get.

Do you mean charr warrior? If so then I use luminescent armour. It is perfect for the glowing blue look I have, using bolt/Flameseeker prophecies+ azure flame and fractal capacitor backpiece. No other armour set can compare if that’s the type of look you want

I rarely do daily events (usually I do the quickest and easiest 3 so I can move on to different things) but I have to say, when I do, I follow the Zerg, but I also use the daily as an excuse to explore a zone and see the scenery that I might not have been to for months. Being in a Zerg does not stop me being able to admire the beauty of the lesser-visited zones or follow the storyline of events and I think the daily events should be kept for that reason.

suffish.4150:

By far my favourite character is Rytlock, and I like him 5x more just because of his ‘you cant trust sylvari, they belong to the dragon now’ line.

I genuinely don’t get how this line made you like him more. It is a) a sweeping generalization (you could even say “borderline racist”, but it’s kinda silly to go there when we’re talking about pure fantasy fiction), and b) definitely untrue, unless ArenaNet forces all sylvari players to be buddies with the Mordrem in HoT, and that’s extremely unlikely.

It is not really what he says, but more of the way it was said and the context of it. Before that line, caithe was saying ‘we can break free from destiny, it will require strength, strategy and insight’ which felt like ‘this is what needs to happen’ and then when it switched to Rytlock with that line it felt like ‘but this is what actually happens’. Also, I really liked it because even with all the teaser images with Rytlock in, I was really worried that he wouldn’t come back from the mists and seeing him there was a big relief for me. I enjoyed the way he killed all those mordremoth husks after the line as well, made me look forward to HoT a lot more that I would have if that line was left out of the trailer.

I don’t see how nerfing the spoon rate for teq would help- the rest wouldn’t drop more frequently (unless you buff their drop rates at the same time). Personally, I don’t do teq every day and just do it when I feel like it so I am always excited to see what I get drop, even if it is a spoon, it is ten silver you wouldn’t have had otherwise. I would suggest you do the same- don’t grind and only do tequatl’s if you are finding it fun. That way you won’t burn out.
