Anet problem. People all over (NA and EU)are experiencing significant problems like lag, rubber banding, drops etc.

They have bigger issues than DX--- servers and bandwidth need love. BTW there are a number of threads on optimization that are easy found with search.

Happening in NA and in all modes of play.

Was agreeing with some of your statements, but if you put the I would rather pay for a subscription in you very 1st sentence, I wouldn't have bothered reading. Now that I have read it, I'll just forget about it.

WTG!!!! And thank you for offering help.

and some new players don't want it either. You can't separate and name and blame one group when the game has such a diversity of players. That being said there are numerous threads about fishing already.

and that would be a great reason to have it!!!! "didn't intend to do so"????? LOL

Wind Surfing instead of a skimmer??

^ This, 100%---- another one of those ideas with no merit.

And 'They" are wrong.

I would be more interested in the ability to turn off other players visual effects during boss and meta large group events as wells as gliders/flying mounts in large trains.

I do bosses, but it would great if I turn off other players effects so I could actually see wtf I am trying to hit with AOE.

All large groups are banned ,strikes /raid/pvp/wvw ect are closed and when you try to enter you are sent to a home instance for 2 weeks.

> > The reason why people feel the need to say this is that Anet seemingly has the impression that people who don't raid don't just not raid because they don't want to raid, but because there's not enough of a difficulty ramp between non-raid and raid content. Which is, for the most part, wrong, if you actually listen to what people who don't raid say their actual reasons for not raiding are.

> Thanks for posting that. I don't know from where Anet gets their metrics that seem to push their development decisions more toward raids. I only know, that for my small sub-set of friends who play GW2, we don't fall into that category.

>

> Maybe ANet sees more income from the raiding community?

Or maybe the new ones in charge have decided that they don't like (or more likely don't understand) the original premise of GW2 and why people where attracted to it and bought it. They feel they must change it to what other MMO games are like because that is what they know.

There is always one helpful response lol.

LOL, thanks for the laugh.

Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Search function works great on a subject that has been discussed lots of times. and NO!!!!!

> eventually i expect the devs to realize that they could give free legendary as rewards and people in GW2 still wouldn’t want raid like content, also expect for the community to realize that fragmenting the community with paid expansions will not make content better, in fact it will only make the mastery’s that we have useless, like when we had HOT and POF.

This^^^^^^^^, but I don't think they will realize this. they have blinders on.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forced to play how I don't want to in PvE. Beginning of the end.

This "The episode’s environment will focus on capturing and defending territories in a PvE map, using objectives similar to WvW to drive enemies back, defeat familiar foes, and maximize the potential for rewards. You’ll also tackle a new Strike Mission with a different spin on gameplay mechanics." NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I'll wait to play rather than getting hyped up from watching a polished trailer.

Anet uses aggro range for no other reason than just to slow the player down to the point it is nothing more than aggravating. It's a cheap trick.
