If its a recent buy you can try to ask for a refund of gems for this specific purpose. I have made a request like that before and they did refund my gems and I bought something else I liked.
-
Its stated as against the rules, so a specific report function could be useful. On the other hand a support ticket is equally valid.
I would ignore any of the other statements here who are discussing how valid such a complaint is. Support and report is there for these specific cases, any advice not to use those channels is completely illogical. If you feel its warranted, just do it.
Ofcourse it doesnt mean anything will immediately be done.

I think you missed the words, "not only"?

Well, thats besides the point entirely. Im just thinking that normal/hardmode in gw1 isnt all-equivalent to a raid easy/normal mode in this game.
And tuning is definitely not the only reason why participation is low.

I feel like any competitive talk would be great either WvW or sPvP.
It really depends on how much there is to talk about though. Marketting and sound/music could also be interesting.

I definitely dont like to gear up my characters. But mostly because I want to play and not spend time messing around the build window.
I wouldnt say gearing up is hard by any measure. Its just dreadfully boring and a waste of my time to even invest time in making new builds.
I feel like I need several armorsets on each character to get the enjoyment of trying out new builds on the character. Plus setting some sort of a build on a character makes me feel like Im stuck with it or need to craft another new set.
As such, most of my characters have full berserkers unless I bothered to make something out of it.

I think its the larger stationary champion golems. The one within and around the cube that have an event.
They look like the boss that you defeat when you make a new asura character.

The players are already a step further by joining a guild they aren't going to rep, for whatever reason. Ofcourse, at a basis, someone needs to keep organizing things so that people keep coming back. It just means repping is not automatically necessary for a guild existence. There have been non-repping guilds purely for organisational purposes before. So what you're saying really doesn't hit all the bases.

> There was a time I run with raid guilds to learn about raid. There were a few raid guild that ask their members to rep when raiding but when asked to rep, some of them said "why rep a raid guild? is just a raid guild", their leaderships sighed and let them not rep. They continue to raid regardless but after couple of months, their guild disappear the moment their original leaderships disappear, nobody replaces them.

What I get from your anecdote is that it is sustainable as long as effort is put in. If the leadership or will to lead disappears the guild will disappear. No matter if theres a reprule or not. This is only loosely tied to repping. Your portrayal of the situation when people are allowed to "not rep" is binary when the reality isnt.
I'm not saying that repping doesnt have its value or use. Nor that the situation doesnt arise where guilds disappear through being allowed to not rep. I'm merely saying that it is possible to have non repping guild or guild members who are equally involved in more than one guild. It just does takes more effort and energy to keep those who dont rep engaged.

Bit of bad logic though. You need to acknowledge a guilds existence before you can "not-rep" it as it were. The players are already a step further by joining a guild they aren't going to rep, for whatever reason. Ofcourse, at a basis, someone needs to keep organizing things so that people keep coming back. It just means repping is not automatically necessary for a guild existence. There have been non-repping guilds purely for organisational purposes before.

I think the most interesting that can be asked here, will we ever head there or will we stick to what is known from GW1?

I think it's more a topic that has been discussed for 4 years. The discussion always at some point ends up revolving about the specifics of difficulty levels where no one is willing to consider any different ideas. It's the notion about "how it should be" without any other way possible and much less so about the pros and cons of each idea. people get very defensive if something isn't exactly according to their agenda. There's very little understanding for any different ideas.
All the same I don't think anyone really is against difficulty levels if they are implemented in a way that agrees with each person personally. Which is exactly where the problem lies, as some believe one way is THE way and others say it can only be another way. And that just goes back and forth. Because of the rejection of other ideas in any way of shape, there's become this counter reaction of simply repeating the same arguments over and over until someone gets frustrated (myself included at points)
It's lead me to believe that difficulty modes are probably going to be more miss than hit and other solutions would probably lead to more success. It's avoiding the issue by finding a different solution. Which could be along the lines of new easier raids/dungeons with their own rewards or improving painpoints in the current raids. There's definitely an interest in instanced group content that isn't as hard and unforgiving as raids, takes place in the open world and have some lore that has to do with the actual open world/current story. I wouldn't be against any other solution, but it just seems to me that there's no right way of implementing difficulty levels that either doesn't go far enough for some or completely against some of the ideas of other players.

100% rep rule is a slap in the face for players with a storage guild. You have to rep that guild to access that storage therefore either you would be forever locked out of your storage guilds guild bank or you need to join a guild that has a 99% rep rule.
But seriously. As with any social interaction. Youre just going to go where it makes sense for you. If a guild wants to have a 100% reprule and cant see the point of not repping occasionally for whatever reason they automatically loose members. They might feel like they only keep active and contributing members, even if thats not always true.
Funnily enough, the most active members are the ones who like to join multiple guilds because they can communicate more easily outside of the one guild.
While guilds can set rules all they want, they will inadvertedly scare good active players away.

I generally only listen to the NPCs and from there usually figure out everything. But I can understand that it gets confusing when there arent big markers along the route to point you in the right direction. (like the rest of storydriven content.)
I think the biggest problem usually arises when an event is involved as they are on timers. And while they do take place, the step from trad. quest style "talk to NPC here bring object there" to "wait for an event here because thats how events work" isnt always clear.
The dialogue your character is along the lines of "awakened have been seen east of here, maybe" and "I will investigate the area" which I understood as: IF theres more to this, there should be an event here, its obviously not up now, I come back later. I obviously then checked if there was actually more without looking into the specific steps as I like to mostly figure it out myself. Event timers sadly are very annoying and those I pretty much always look up. Even the Tracking items you usually get arent very precise and you can get stuck waiting in an area for a significant time or simply missing it entirely.
I really think an ingame timer with something along the lines of morning, noon, afternoon, dawn, dusk and midnight to tie such events to would be alot clearer and easier for players to track such events ingame. Especially as the day/night time is exactly 2 hours I believe. And make the whole "figuring out what to do" a bit clearer.
Although it might not be worth the effort as I think most people just look up the guide to complete it as fast as possible rather than looking too deep into subtle NPC dialogue hints.

I'm assuming it's caused by the tool as no new software or other connection problems were present on my PC at that time (just like anet assumed people hacked gw2 based on process list).
That it's an assumption is all I meant, you said it like it was factual that it actually was the cause of lag. There were other additions to the game than just this tool, which may or may not have been the cause of the lag, or there was maintenance somewhere along the usual connection to Arenanet than gets more influenced in GW2 than any other game.
But I suppose you're just gonna go for arguing "But Arenanet is making assumptions too!". Ofcourse, that's pointless as Anet is in control of actually following up on those ingame. :P

Which you dont know either and you just claim. I for one didnt notice any such thing.

Thinking about it, I wouldnt be surprised most of the stuff being said was more about creating a controversy rather than providing actual information.
Also the datastream from all processes being run on every single computer rather than a simple 1 or 0. That seems like alot of unneeded data.

All I see you say is that WoW did it this way therefore everything different (or at least different in GW2) is bad design.
If anything, the problem people have with raids isn't that they are badly designed, but rather that the raids aren't designed for them. I see the game like a themepark. Where not all attractions are actually enjoyable by everyone, and not designed for everyone. What a themepark does is not adjust each individual attraction so that everyone can enjoy it, but rather provide multiple attractions. The idea building on that goes much more into detail, but this thread of sludge is not the right place at all for sharing interesting ideas as it's more about taking those ideas apart and criticizing just to further people's personal agenda. Which is probably also why no developers respond to it much.

Which is still your opinion. The point isnt about the distinction between you thinking its bad design and you not liking the design.
I dont doubt that on personal level that's a huge difference to you btw.

I haven't really stated much of an opinion. But shoehorn me in one because you need a wall of text to explain a false argument.
While you seem to suggest that because content isn't for everyone your "funding" goes into content you don't enjoy then I dunno what to tell you. There will always be part of that funding going into content ideas you don't enjoy.

But, wow, I actually tried, and kept trying, and even though I can't play everything and I'm fairly bad at some classes, I full clear and I am able to play a lot of roles and professions. Ifull clear every week.

I'd have just played WoW.

Considering the content would still be in the game you still both have the same amount in the game. OR. If you're going to say that people who are more capable have more time have a more broad interest in everything in the game somehow have "more of the game" than someone who only focuses on one part of it, then that really is just always the case.

Rather able to skip it rather than making lesser story because people aren't interested in it.

Sadly even the casuals and intermediates also have a valid opinion.
I would look at gw1 though. RA and TA had similar populations like in that poll. I think a 5 man tier of ranking could be really interesting. But definitely I wouldnt do away with solo queue.

Never really required guild rep in my guild. So its definitely not everyone taking it seriously. Other than that it does get annoying when peoole dont communicate at all. People who rep usually are more involved in the guild so they get more attention easier. So if you want help you just need to involve yourself in a guild, even when not repping. Otherwise if you start asking for help out of the blue it comes acros that youre just part of the guild for using it as an easy access to help. Basically taking advantage rather than taking part.
[Complaint] Firebrand skill icons need to be reworked
in Guardian
Posted
The tome skills are all very similar. Out of the top of my head:
1. auto attack
2. PBAoE
3. CC/support
4. big pulse AoE DoT or Support overTime
5. Unique buffing skill
Ofcourse all tied to their respective virtues.
First tome is burning oriented, with 3 being a pull
Second is healing/condi removal
Third is protection/damage mitigation
I can agree that the amount of skills is very overwhelming at first (definitely the biggest problem) and the icons arent helping as much as they can. But definitely not as big of a deal youre making it, but in certain cases those skill icons could be clearer.
