as for op's 3) that why they sell the "what cha ma call its" from the gemstore and don't include it in the ghalls. originally they shoulda but they won't now. 4) - rotation of decorations on all 3 axis needs to happen yesterday. 6) anet needs to add themepark- player created content to the game. either have a portal in cap cities or from ghall that takes you to player created content- races/ tracks in their ghall, jps, w/e. bonus would be having new instanced maps players can create tracks in. clone the decs you have and apply them to these new maps or have everyone have the same set of decs to be used. 7) can be applied when they revamp the decoration system for personal housing. Apply all these options there.

ever since the changed magic find a year or two ago random luck has gotten much worse. My current philosophy is expect to get only trash and crappy items. Then feel blessed/ lucky IF you get something neat.

> @"lokh.2695" said: > Festivals are just a cheap way of delivering """content""". Also, since these festivals are mostly automated at this point, I would not expect any major changes to what they contain. "B..but they did mounts" - yeah sure, never say never, I just wouldn't get my hopes up too high for any substantial changes to any of the festivals. I agree that probs not much will ever change. but since its been 8 years now and people are clearly getting tired of them i wouldn't mind seeing brand new festivals based on new things like maybe LW story releases? For the following year(only?) you could have celebrations in some way relating to that LW map/story content and bring renewed interest back to this map for a period of time while also not having the same boring things each year in old celebrations. Or stagger this with the old celebrations one year on one year off. Or i could just keep playing Eso where that kinda thing exists and just continue to mostly ignore these "content" releases. I know, i know we finally got all the festivals we wanted and now people want other things. heh. I dunno it just feels like these things are filling the gaps till the xpac comes out. And that's not how it should feel. And maybe there is excitement for new players but i'm an 8 year vet and this content feels dated.

oh my goodness :D Now how are you gunna squeeze in that beetle track, griffon dive course, jp and skimmer race in there?

i visited the Tengu area! ;)

For people that like a video view.

Well maybe for next year... Here's the new decs for this year the devs made: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/120378/2020-new-wintersday-decorations#latest

> @"Stand The Wall.6987" said: > _assuming_ it comes after cantha, that cantha xpac doesn't have wvw alliances (zomg how dare you doubt you heathen), it costs less (20$?), they revamp all the weak stuff and add the missing skills (necro elite well, teef preparation heal etc. and maybe some new core weapons), and blah blah what have you. no not another elite spec since cantha will have one. gvg support for wvw and actual multiple working modes for pvp (one can pray). it's waaay too early to even think about the next xpac after cantha. _well for us anyways._ kinda feels very uneasy if that's even going to happen, but i need more info. please everyone comment below on this. :D **edit:** i wonder if cantha will have the gw1 dual spec thing. blending two specs into 1? So i can be that warrrior/mesmer i always wanted to be. :)

yea i just noticed the timestamps :/ -heh, but hey i kick started the responses woop woop! :)

People are still playing because they enjoy the game and all that it has to offer. So they have no need to come and complain on the forums. Especially if you are new to the game and are hearing "this games dead" makes No sense what so ever because there is tons of stuff to do! Even when i joined the November after launch it felt like there was lots of stuff (no where as near as much stuff now). I mean for the longest time i didn't know the forums existed. I was one of those blissfully unware, satisfied players. (but ya know things change.) :D And when i saw the forums for the first time and what people were saying it was a 180 from my own experiences. I often find though that in most of my gaming communities I've been apart of it is the age of the player and & their life situations that make people leave the game not necessarily just the games content. Still though the hardcore are still here in my guild whether they really love the game or not. I think it has become more about the community then just the game itself.

I think the vocal minority push this idea more then most the casuals that are still playing this wonderful game blissfully unware.

It's a fantasy world, not realistic city. Though maybe some of these ideas could work if they had **open world personal housing** "taxes". but most likely instanced housing would be the way they go if they choose to expand on what they have and allow players to live in any home in tyria. then taxes would again be irrelevant.
