I hope not. Kaineng was super ugly.... it looked like 2-3 planks just copy-pasted in all sorts of directions to make the city

If same person is posting then yes.

They will merge this into it if they don't like it, so really it's fine.

As for the hairstyles... I lost all hope. Humans got loads with PoF, Sylvari didn't get any with HoT... and last hairstyles were literally copy-paste between races (human-norn)... so really we didn't get hairstyles for 3+ years......

But I sure am glad we get all the chairs !!!

Pretty sure they'd earn more money from making hairs and faces in the long run than making chairs ...

I wouldn't call single adventure much of a "content"... just an achievement

It's not new content, it's 6 year old recycled content being brought back with 1-2 new achievements added to make people play it.

and again ... where does he say he is against content ?

he just says no to achievements that make you redo old content that has been done loads of times before

This does not affect you in any way, other than possibly an argument like, "I don't want to redo the content to get the new AP offered and nobody else should be able to so that I won't fall behind in the AP race."

> >

> > It bothers me as I wish to complete achievements; if you do not play the game that way that is fine, but I and others do. Most might just be accepting of it just being the way it is done, but I am questioning it. You correctly state that I do not want to redo content, old content that is no longer enjoyable to me, but feel the need to because of the achievement additions, not because the content has suddenly been reworked or became enjoyable. I am not saying nobody else should be able to play it, I encourage those that would enjoy it to do it! so it's not that nobody else should be able to, but nobody should HAVE to do it or risk falling behind in the 'AP race' as you call it. Because as a reason for repeating it's' not good for the health and enjoyment of the game. Do we not play games for fun these days?

> >

> > Nobody has yet explained why it is a good thing for the only reason to repeat something being not to miss out on new/repeatable achievements on old content, as not adding them would not stop those who would enjoy doing so from playing it

>

> Let me explain this to you, since you're a completionist. You've already completed the annual achievements once...that's it, they're done, completed, just because they're annual and you can do them every year does not mean they aren't completed, what you're really stating is that you have OCD and just can't stand to look at something that you already finished that has been provided for someone who perhaps hasn't received the AP for the achievement before. Is that sufficient explanation for you?

That's not what he is stating. What he is stating is that they should've worked to make w3 (for example) instead of working on adding some achievements to make people REDO what they have done loads of times before already. It's a lazy way to bring people in and make them play content - basically - "we know it's boring and you've done this already but this time we will make you repeat it yet again just for a different reward"

Where did he say he is against new content ? If you actually read what he said and read some replies he gave, you'd understand that he likes the game and wants NEW content, not achievement for recycled stale, dull festivals that he has done million times already. He probably wouldn't even make the thread if they added W3 or anything new...not achievs that are like "oh do this AGAIN .. for idk what time in a row, except now you get X reward"

The latest example of this is SAB, it's fine for events to return for newer players to experience, but that shouldn't mean needing to ruin it for older players. (And nothing is stopping those that do want to repeat it from doing so anyway)

> Why is adding such small new achievements to refresh the content a bad thing?

The question is not if something is easy or not and how easy it is. That's completely besides the point. He is trying to say that they shouldn't be in a position where they add achievements to have people come back to it. They're doing it the lazy way. If they added a new world, this thread wouldn't even exist. They rely on achievements to make people come back which just says "we know it's boring, but we know you all want AP so that's how we'll make you play it"

People enjoy different things. If he enjoys hunting AP (as do I) we tend to endure the headache for what we like. You also do some stuff in the game despite not liking it, so the same can be said to you. The "no one is making you do it" argument is an absolute nonsense. You probably don't enjoy your job, don't do it then.

> If someone has 30k+ ap it most likely means they were around during season 1. Season 1 absolutely drowned people in AP. And it's all AP that is gone now, unavailable for anyone who missed it.

And rightfully so. Those who weren't there just need to deal with it. Game has to move on, not waste time on old content just because those people missed it. They can already buy most rewards from Laurel vendor. As for AP, if you're coming late to the game, you have to come to terms and understand that game has been going on for a long time before you came and there are things you missed and won't have. So you'd not even come with an idea of "I wanna be on AP leaderboards".

It's really as if I walked into a store and demanded they sell me something they had 6 years ago and are not selling it anymore. Makes no sense.

I agree with you. I absolutely hate it ... but I want my AP still.

They should just "recognize" my previous achievements that I've done and autocomplete the annual at least.

You forgot to say when you are going to give us new hairstyles.

Humans got loads with PoF....what about the rest of us ?

Last time you added any, was a copy-paste between norn and human. So I don't even count that as "giving new hairs" cuz they were already on other race. It has been years, at least 3+

Well I subbed to newsletter but settings get reset every time. I checked my mail because some people said you'd get an email for it but I got absolutely nothing.

One would say they're finally doing their job how they're supposed to. I don't see why people would praise them for it.

More hairstyles............... :(

Been 2-3 years .... I lost all hope

> Countless businesses have refused to alter their business model, and well most of those don't exist anymore. Another is on its way out. The "we" you speak of are lime the same 30 at max that say no. I'd wager that many players don't even log into the forums, so don't go thinking you know who you represent

I don't know and I don't care if it's 30 people or 300 or 3000 or whatever ... it's still way more than the people who agree with you and that's a fact. Majority doesn't want sub fees like you can see from loads of other threads and polls. People came to GW in the first place because it didn't have monthly fee, it would be a major spit in the face to players. Like I said, if you want to support them, buy gems.

Look, we have been over this countless times in countless other threads.

No. Majority don't want anything you just listed.

and if YOU want to give them money, just buy $10 gems every month to support them and if you wanna pay them for every LW just buy $20 gems.

and not only do they get money but you also get to buy something on Gemstore, so it's a win-win. And, like I said in other thread, if you are not interested in what's on Gemstore, you can absolutely buy gems to pay Anet and buy ME keys instead. I love keys.

Go play literally any Korean game if you're interested to play with females in bras.

I'm also against bikini outfits/armors.

Goodness, people like you. So spoiled.

...and if you had it, you'd come here to complain how there is absolutely nothing to play.

Imo, they made a mistake by allowing waypoint unlock, now you people got spoiled and want more.

But ofc, what do I know... why in the world would you even play a game you paid for... oh well.

Plus.... I'd rather have nice set of hairstyles.

You literally have a preview to see how it looks stowed and wielded. So really, it's totally your fault that you are disappointed, you knew what it looked like and still went for it anyway. Plus there're many videos you can look up and see what it looks like while using skills.

I never said I won't play it, in fact, I'm AP hunter so I play everything and anything. All I'm saying is, there is no point for hype when it's same old, same old.

Oh yeah, I'm so hyped to repeat the same content for I don't know what year in a row. What is the hype for if there are no new worlds.

That's so like... 10 years ago and no one cares about it anymore. Cringy.

I don't get it. If you want to give them money and "reward them" just buy $7 worth of gems on LW release day? ... or if you're also the supporter of monthly sub, just give them $10 a month with gems. They already get the money for LWs that people missed, if they choose to buy them with real money.

I never understood these kinds of posts. Just buy loads of gems if you want to support them. That way not only do they get money but you also get to buy something for yourself and if you don't know what to get with gems or you just don't like anything, you can see my acc-name right above, I LOVE keys, so you can always get ME something.

I reached my cap years ago but anyhow, I'd hate it if they completely removed the cap, because knowing that there's a cap doesn't give me a heart attack if I have to miss a day because of traveling (I'm achievement hunter and last thing I'd want is 10 AP lost forever). I'd rather them just increase the cap by 1500 a year.
