Not much. Sometimes keys, banks, storage--useful stuff but only when they are on sale. It is just too much of bling fashion store. Now if they offered something really useful, maybe, but most would complain that would be pay to win.

This ^^ No need for 100 rep in this game anymore.

I don't visit either map anymore. Can't even be bothered to get otter. Fingers x'd that they never make another area like these.

Yep, and if you already have it shows 0 cost to purchase.

I can confirm. Nice to have them back even though the communication was a fail.

Agree about the total lack of any communication about the issue (one way or the other). Respect from the players and towards the players is a two way street. They seem to have made it one way only now.

I just did it for todays daily and didn't experience any issues issues.

Tried that when the issue 1st appeared for me. Didn't help

If I could choose any of the 3 out all that are available I would be more inclined. But restricting what you have access to is just ridiculous to those that have bought and played more content.

this "Whats with all the necroing going on now all of a sudden"

and the poll left out, no more new races as an option. .

Sorry not happening based on all the other threads that have covered this intensively (thank goodness). "Search"

Anyone that played DESCENT years ago has no problem with that.

No , NO, Not!!!! I like it too.

Outlier Accounts, never addressed by Anet. ( I believe John Smith spoke about them years ago but was rather ambiguous about them, but agreed they exist if my memory serves. Likely lost unless they can be found in the old forums).

Sensory deprivation glasses/headgear that can be worn and blocks everyone else's effects (accept for the bosses) so we could actually see.

No thanks. Stay on schedule.

Ah, sorry you are not getting the content that YOU want. If just fine for what I would consider most players. I am sure that there are many ways you can make content harder for yourself without negatively impacting others. I also wonder what insight into the devs mind you have to proclaim what hot is 'supposed' to be. Drizzlewood might be more to your liking, (not mine btw).

If it is anything like Drizzlewood, I'll be waiting for the sale. Will wait for much more info. It's not so much where the exp will take me ,and I am sure it will look great, it's that my confidence with the new team has been eroded on many levels.

I see what you did there. ;)

Guess you might have missed this https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/112147/altitude-indicators-missing-during-map-completion-merged#latest Many have asked about but nothing from Anet since it was 1st reported.

It's annoying everywhere! And still no communication from Anet.

Free mounts or zone speed buffs invalidate the benefit that mount owners currently enjoy, and that is having more than the base speed. It is a QoL improvement and nothing more. Mounts (or lack of them or lack of zone speed buffs) do not prevent players without them from completing content.

So why make a new one??????????

Best comment I have read on this issue. It hits the heart of the matter.

> > Yep. Horrible idea, IMO. It would dis-incentivize players from purchasing the expansion, which is what Anet wants.

>

> The new player needs to get to level 80 before entering the expansion, in order to get the mounts. If they are bored and leave the game before they even reach level 80 that's a great way for Anet to lose a potential customer. And when that new player plays on low level maps and see players with mounts going and finishing events before they can even get there, then you can see the problem. That player has two options: suck it up until they get to 80 to go get a mount, or stop playing the game.

> Cherry on top: Steam players getting to 80, then get advice from friends or the forums to go directly to POF, ignoring the rest of the content, in order to get at least the raptor. Then, because they are a fresh level 80 in green gear with a terrible build, they will get destroyed in POF and start complaining.

> Adding an item with some low cost that would allow players to summon a mount while on certain maps would be an excellent addition to provide incentive for new players to actually play this game, not remove incentive from purchasing an expansion.

Just the opposite, seeing others with things that you can only access if you buy increases the incentive to purchase.
