This is really a good topic.

I am currently not sure about what could be my answer.

However, the ignore list is something which comes in hand in every game ( gold seller, toxic players, spammers and so on ), but also it's something which tends to feed the toxic players too ( those who aoe block ppl or whine about other everytime ).

To be honest, if one of the people i have on my ignore list would join in my party i really doubt i would be able to recognize him, even if he were using the same character he used when i decided to block him.

Btw, i only have 3 goldseller in my blocklist, and one player i don't remember why i did put it on blocklist ( probably a harasser ).

(Which game devs do all the time btw, they are the ones setting the boundaries of what we can do in the game after all) But at least don't make a huge mess out of the game world around Jumping puzzle areas because gliding is allowed but not mounts but then mounts are allowed but not gliding. And then really hard ones which have specific counter measures against gliding can be done trivially easy with mounts. It feels really messy the way they "solved" but not always solved the way jumping puzzles are done with these jumping puzzle feature blocks.

I do agree.

Though somebody could say that it does not influence any other player, and it could be a legit call.

> If i do the JP with mount instead by foot, is this a problem for you?

I'd say that it would be only a problem if there's a reward at the end.

* Daily JP

* Chest ( which also brings on the table the problem of parked alts )

* Portal Selling

However, it would be awesome if they decided to limit mounts there and also add WP's in order to prevent portals and parked alts.

They should also incrase the rewards, or simply put another chest each checkpoint ( tsw farm is about 25/40g per hour, so the chests won't be a problem ).

Oh for the love of the six...

... here we go again talking about "prestige" related to legendary equipment.

I can't disagree with the fact that is ANET the one who decides.

I just can't stand those who pretend that something must be that way for everybody.

It's a pretty different concept.

Given this specific situation, we do have G1 which have 2 way to be obtained ( Craft or TP ) and G2 which have only 1 way ( Epic Craft Run ).

If we discuss about the G2 and some care about how other could obtain what they have got, they are simply haters.

There's no other way to describe those who pretend to influence other players possibilities.

And this is why i mostly hate, because it tends to ruin discussions ( since at the end is ANET which decided how you will play ) and shows issues within a part of the community.

TLDR:

> Does the change affect you somehow?

If the answer is no but you still feel upset about that change, take a deep breath and try to deal with yourself.

> @Genesis.5169 said:

> You know u can only trade 500g a week right unless your given them 15k worth of stuff this is utter bs.

That's why some of the most expensive items are sold for real cash outside the game.

Talking about this, i wonder how they manage to deal with this kind of traders.

I mean

First Case

> Player A uses his account with a bot and sell the golds or items to player B

Here the questions

1. Will player A be banned?

2. Will player B be banned?

Second Case

> Player A drop an item and send it through Mail to player B. We are not able to know anything else about the 2 players ( if they are friends, if there we a real cash trade outside the game, etc )

1. Will player A be banned?

2. Will player B be banned?

I ask since i heard different rumors about illegal trades, and scams... but still i don't know what is or not the truth.

Some examples:

* If a player got scammed the scammer is permabanned, but the item/golds are lost.

* If a player buy golds from a farmer, only the seller will be banned.

* Accepting a Mail does make you culprit ( ie, the sender sent a mail to the wrong person ).

You can still use it in order to craft a leggie, then sell the item.

Gw2 will be fine.

There's no way all crates will be treated as the same regardless the context.

And also there's the gold > gem trade.

This.

It would really be one of the greater ( if not the greatest ) QoL ever.

> I'm sure it be fine to add that option, with the caveat that it be turned off by default/crossed off as an option. Only then you can squarely blame the user for mistakes. Because we've all experienced accidentally clicking **_"compact"_** in our bags.

I disagree.

People mystakes happen because they are in a hurry

Here the complete list of what to do in order to lose a item you want ( ie, a precursor )

1) Get the precursor

2) Do not put it into an invisible bag, bank or shared inventory slot

3) Doubleclick on tool

4) Click on the item

5) Receive and read the warning message

6) Valitate with OK

Really, something like this could only happen if the player is carefree about what happens to him.

Knowing the cost of the precursor, the fact that it is in your bag, the fact that in your bag there are also other exotics and the fact that you are going to shard some of em give no possibility of error.

It's the player itself that is not careful enough, and there are some way to prevent this fail from happening.

@"Illconceived Was Na.9781" : whatever the number of exotic players use, since the exotic equipment tends to have no value since the free ascendend, an option would be really appreciated. I don't want to force anybody to /salvageallexotics or /nocheckperexotic, but the possibility would be nice for those who shard way too much.

Between the TP delay and Exotic warning really i don't know which is worse ( the first obviously. It was just to underline the fact that time sinks like these are really a pita for those who play TP ).

I guess you don't know how to manage items then.

A precursor always into an invisibile bag, bank, or shared in slot.

There are no excuses imho.

Btw prec apart, at least a non warning message.

It's really frustrating to have to click every single item.

It is not preference if you pretend that others play how you want or you feel upset if others obtain what you have in a different way.

It's not hard.

> @rwolf.9571 said:

> I accidentally salvaged my pre-cursor "sends support ticket"

> Exotics don't drop often enough to warrant this. Unless your hoarding and clearing it all out at once.

or need dark matter.

or simply is better to bet on ecto and insigna due to the low price.

or you want the skins and then you have to salvage them.

How did you manage to salvage a precursor with the current system?

It's cleary impossible.

What about an option to salvage all the exotics you have in your inventory as you can do it with blue/green and Yellow?

Since we have to confirm every single time, it would be really a QoL.

Obviously only avaible for Rare/Mystic/Silver-Fed-Salvage-Omatic/Black Lion Salvage Kit.

Please :lol:

It's since vanilla that players managed to sell runs.

Since the mount arrived, there's no sense in limit them.

Also, pof has only a few wp.

There should be 3x per map, in tactics zones, in order to allow players to play without mounts

No dude, it's hating since you don't want alternative.

Player A is ok if player B do his own legendary run to get the Legendary item.

Player B is not ok if Players A buy the same legendary from Player C throug TP.

The point is simple.

Some do complain about other who has a chance to get what they worked on for a trade

And guess what, they didn't dupe golds! they happened to play and earn em!

PS: And maybe they didn't direcly farm gold at all, but resources, or sell runs, or playing TP, or got lucky with MF, or RNG drop, or convert gems.

1. B2p low cost + no sub.

2. Excellent filler game.

3. No stats farm, equipment change. You can do everything whenever you want. After years if stop you are still competitive.

The bundle should scale if you already have part of thr items, like steam does.

The Ts made imho the right call.

I occasionally do it, because as a thief i have to manage to be alive during fights.

Btw the faster you go up the better for the squad.

Also during meta fights i tend not to notice the class i am rezzing but only if there is somebody Downed.

Agree.

It's a good thing that commanders add to hp run description that Griffon is needed or not.

Greatswords are really cool.

This new one better should be cooler \o

Anet i am counting on you ( with hope you managed to make me craft a leggie for myself ).

> @fritanga.1623 said:

> I agree that around 62 gold for the weapon alone is reasonable. The problem is that you have several other sinks going into these items. Take the Mystic Coin as an example. You get no return on the coin you are just tossing into a fountain. There is also an item costing Karma which needs to be purchased alongside several other items which force you into specific events.

Are you serious?

Complaining about 1 mystic coin and some karma?

-_-

> @Nemo.5609 said:

Nope.

With Gen1 everybody but haters was happy.

1. You can buy from tp

2. You can sell from tp

3. You can do your legendary path to get your precursor

4. You can buy your precursor from TP

Nobody was harmed by this system except as said, haters ( or those who consider a "prestige" to farm for the steps needed to achieve Gen2 leggies ).

Gen2 force you in different ways

1. You can't farm in order to sell for golds

2. You can't farm in order to buy with golds

3. You are forced to own HoT in order to craft one

The weapons are cheap ( remember that you got an ascended weapon with exclusive skin ).

I wouldn't mind a recipe, but it should be something which costs around 50g, so the price would be almost the same.

There will be a new mastery tier like s3.

No more mounts until the next expansion.

And a skin for every mount ( 1 per episode ) through achievement, to show that they care about players.
