I too have run into this issue after about 600gems of unlocked story later only to be unable to finish my quest. I get the whole premise of farming a event’s I have seen the trains in orr and other places. That’s one thing. But this event is clearly being abused for personal gain at a unfair rate and keeping people from progressing. I even tried the nice way seeing if the farmers wouldn’t mind just completing the event. I only got silence save for a few reply’s of tomorrow or my personal fav. " To quit my server and to go find another one. Yeah I’ll get right on that. I have seen both sides of the arguments with people even giving in to just farming the hell out of this event. Some people even citing that this is the only way for them to make $$$ and not have to cave to buy gems. For real? so you would rather farm a event break down the drops and stuff them in your bank/post them on the trading post just to make a few coins? Is this the best we can do as gamers? Where is your self respect? Your sense of pride at having achieved something through time and effort. The one thing I have seen over the years as I played this game is that things you want take time/effort. Yes some drops aren’t that great. Some of the recipes require a ton of mats I get that. The fact that so many people have just decided to give into this nonsense is just sad. I wouldn’t even care as much if I could just progress through the story i paid for. I still don’t think it’s right but at least I could move on with my game. Arenanet I hope you make a change soon. Hopefully before people have more items/gold then they can carry.
No wonder the waypoints are all messed up. lol exceeds weight limit.
