You can chose various rewards from it. > Edit: I rightclick every chest above the minimap since years and something like this never happened before. At least I think so xD. I do this achievment since it was released and I never got an inventory-item. After the last of the 5 CMs you will get 2 extra bouncing chests, one with 10g and one with 10 Provisioner Tokens and 50 Gaeting Crystals, which go directly into your purse. There are chests with the same icon (Box of Raider's Supplies) maybe you mean this ones. Because as the reward from the 5-CM-achiev is always 10 Tokens and 50 Crystals, there wouldn't be an option to choose from. If you want to check that you got the rewards, you can look at the statistic-timeline from gw2efficiency, to see, if the number of Crystals and Tokens increased the time you finished the achiev.

I have done my 5 CMs this week and recieved my 10g, but I havent recieved my "Terror's Toppler Treasure". I'm not the only one with this problem. I have done those CMs with a friend of mine and he didn't recieved the chest also... plz help me and my raiding boys. Are you sure you haven't clicked it away, it's just a bouncing chest over the minimap, not something that goes into the inventory.

> @"Sammyjoe.4271" said: > Hey all, > What happened to the balance team that released the big balance patch hitting power, healing and what not? Is it too much to ask for a condi balance patch as well? Really blows my mind. I think the balance patch they released was a really good step in the right direction, but if they just say, "Ok we're done" seems weird. And with the coming expansion it will only further complicate the balance. Or is GW just shifting into a PvE only game? (2012 Vet) According to one of the devs from this team (think it was during one of the donation streams), the main focus of the team currently are the elite-specs and other parts of the expansion. So I guess the next larger balance patch may need some time.

You can't change it in the game itself, you can try arcdps, it offers the option to disable them.

The problem with this suggestion is, that the already existing standard models for PvP/WvW don't do, what the OP on reddit wrote. They only set the model to human in a standard armor, but they don't hide backpieces, infusions and mount-skins. I would also like some less visual noise, but as the existing option doesn't work this way, we would need a new options for this. But in this case I would suggest a more diverse option and not only on/off, because it may start to look boring, if all chars look the same, like checkboxes to hide different pieces (back, infusions, mountskins, etc.) and a option to reduce lighting effects and skill effects.

I mean, should Anet do something about it or it's fine and isn't hurting anyone? No matter how transfer happens (mail, guildbanks, TP etc.), it depends on the situation: If the transfer is used to move gold between your own accounts, to gift/lend it to a friend, or to trade with another player, it would be legal. But if it happens because of RMT (goldselling) or to move gold from hacked accounts etc., it's illegal according to the ToS and the GW2 policies and the involved accounts may be sanctioned by anet. But as it's not easy to differ legal and illegal transfers, some legal ones may end as false positives and be sanctioned, or some illegal ones may be unpunished. For the second point with gw2efficiency: As this only manipulates some statistics on a 3rd-party site and doesn't influence the game itself, it's not necessary for anet to take actions in this case. The dev of gw2efficiency already changed the calculations of the acc-value some time ago, and it's not so easy anymore to manipulate it now.

Weird hobby but ok. How is the item strange though? Besides the obvious bow. Is it because they're called just "Axe", "Sword" and simmilar? > 2) Indeed lol > 3) I kinda believe that to be honest, no one has 10k gold to buy at sell price, especially for a Yellow item even if it is unique, except TP barrons idk... > 4) Very risky if that's so... :lol: > 5) Someone didn't know how much to charge for a Yellow axe so they put it up for 10k? Come on, i don't even have enough gold to pay the TP tax to even list for that much and someone just listed it and paid 500g because they didn't know how much it's worth? > > And if those don't drop anymore, why aren't they removed? What's Anet's philosophy behind that? Curious. 1) Because they can't be obtained anymore and so they are kind of rare, some also have a bugged name and some people just have too much gold, they are just acting like some collectors in RL. If you look at the statistic-page of gw2efficiency you can see a part of all the different things people like to collect. Is hoarding e.g. broken spoons, unopened exo tequatl boxes or legendary spikes usefull, no, but still people like to do it. 4&5) My comment wasn't only targeted at the 10k items, there are also comparable unobtainable items for some hundreds of gold. I guess the philosophy is, that they won't take things from people who legitimatly earned them and make them loose gold which was payed for the sell-order.

This expensive items with low rarity and without a special skin don't drop anymore, as far as I can remember many of them were fractal-drops before a rework a long time ago. As there is no new supply, there may be different reasons for the high sell prices: 1) some people like to collect strange things 2) some people just like to show-off 3) there were also rumors that some of this items were used to quickly transfer gold (e.g. by goldsellers) 4) some that like risky invests, might have bought some and hope for a buyer (from the above mentioned groups) 5) someone with an older account came back and didn't know how much he should ask for their old items There may be more reasons, but that was all that came to my mind atm.

> @"The Boz.2038" said: > I was pretty sure that only applied if your masteries were maxed for a given area. No, it works as soon, as all open mastery-bars are filled with XP. The only thing that changes, if you maxed out a given area, is that otherwise hidden normal XP-bar is shown again.

Cause AFAIK, this only happens if you have no more masteries to work forward to in the area. If your currently selected mastery is full, XP is just wasted. Just tested it last week when the same question(s) appeared because of the new mastery. So I'm very sure.

(I think I picked medium twice) or could we see another for a 4th year in a row (so 9th birthday gift (which would kinda be lame for everyone else, I know))? I know, I should have checked the tool tips within the box and saw the skins were unlocked. : C You can send a ticket and ask the support, if they are able to help you. If you can proof that you have received the three presents and took a wrong weight once, maybe they can send you an additional box.

(please link if you've seen it - from Anet) The best way to test it are the daily-chests from the respective region, after a maximum of 20 chests you should get a shard.

The XP isn't wasted, the problem with locked / unfinished masteries was fixed some time ago. The normal XP-bar which rewards spirit shards is just hidden in the background, but still works.

> @"Vavume.8065" said: > Since the patch I now have some log in screen avatars with corrupted textures, also the grass around the flax farm in Draconis mons looks different, spoke with someone else there and they had same issue.
