Tickets are currently the last of my problems.

The rank requirement instead is the real pita ( SPvP and PvE just need you to do the content and get materials ).

I did HOPE, and honestly was really a pita.

I do want to play the game, i currently do.

I don't want to do specific task, and prefer instead to play the game the way i want and maybe buy with the gold i make the items i need.

I thank god that fortunately there are no other leggies that i want ( maybe the minstrell when they are will give, if they will ever going to, the minstrell class to thief ).

Btw, just to be clear, if a leggie is worth 2k golds in terms of materials, be sure that it would be sell for 3k ( if you can create infinite of em ) and way much more if 1x account limited. So on one hand, who craft it spend time doing events, on the other hand who is going to buy it spend time farming/making golds.

Everybody plays.

A rare but unfortunately not extremely rare drop.

The gem can be infused through 1 [+9 agony +5 stat] infusion and 2 other almost free items in order to transform it from a jewel to a real infusion.

Here's the recipe https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Poly-luminescent_Undulating_Refractor_(Black) ( i linked you the black one but is the same for every jewel ).

For **PvE** i play meta build/equip ( though with some pugs i have to make some modifies, but untill now it's always fine ). Mostly for respect towards my team mates.

**WvW** i tend to roam or assist the commanders from outside ( i play a thief, so there's no room for me in a organized squad ). Btw currently i am working on a revenant in order to teamplay.

**SPvP** Non meta build, cause i play staff instead of d/p ( but traits and skills are the same ).

After HoT story you have many possibilities:

* Living Story 3 ( which starts after completing HoT story ) and their living world.

* Fractals ( they added 2 new fractals and modified some of the old ones ).

* Meta Maps ( if you didn't try the 4 main HoT maps, you could give it a shot and see the meta events ).

* Halloween! ( it ends november 7 ).

* Raids ( this part will require you to have probably a guild or a good equipment on a specific class character. Consider it the "endgame" in terms of GW2 PvE ).

* Something else ( everybody plays gw2 for its own reasons, which could be simply to farm in some zone, do achievements, jp, craft, wvw, spvp, etc... this is totally up to you ).

or

* Purchase PoF (30$), which gives you Mounts, new Elites, New Zones, Bounties, and more.

living world 3.

zones related to living story 3 ( each chapter add a new zone ), which is part of HoT.

Guess so :anguished:

Not even sure the reply was to me or not ( if so, i intended a corn macro while in city, not doing any content meanwhile. I don't understand why to use macro, while doing content, when you have around 12 keys to press ).

What about using the golds you would have used for materials to buy gems instead?

I don't think he would like to join and be friends again like this.

The character instead could decide to atone for his mystakes... and maybe rox could accompain him.

And there's no way that Braham is going to die.

Eir's Legacy can't end this way.

> @Fallesafe.5932 said:

> Once again... Whether you agree or disagree with me, PoF is a perfect illustation of my point. Once you hit that wall, where you don't need anything else from some content, the incentive to continue playing it disappears.

You probably came here after have spent time on other mmo with "progression".

Now you are simply realizing that without someone that order you to play or to lose your character you are lost.

GW2 is not the best mmo for sure, but still it offers a way out of what mmos are now like.

Stop focusin on getting powerful and better forever, and instead try to learn again to play in order to have fun ( and maybe to unlock some particular skin or item you want ).

If you feel that there's nothing else to do, take a break and play something else.

As a filler game it does its work wonderfully ( i use gw2 that way, though sometimes i play it way more! Like now ).

ouch bad call mate :\

They are almost free at TP ( 1g more or less ).

You could have saved money.

Ehm... what do you expected to get for a 28g bags?

You probably were able to made up 50/60% of the golds spent ( or simply 50/60%the value of bags if you buy them from tp ) or the cost by selling corns and other stuff, and also you dropped the spectre which is worth 5/6g.

What i mean is, 1k bags are really a low amount of em, and if you would have managed to drop something worth 70g+ you would have been really, really lucky.

Prices are high cause items are rare.

If they were not rare, infusion would be the same price as oontz's necklaces.

To me It's fine.

Some are expensive and some are not ( it's like the exotic hunter achievement, but divided by class ).

So, ventari is not viable anymore?

General questions/comments are ok, but they should never include names, because "naming and shaming" isn't appropriate. If there's an issue, sending it via e-mail or ticket should get it reviewed. We ask that everyone please use the proper method for reports.

Posts about exploits are removed because, well, they may serve as a "tutorial on how to cheat" until the exploit is closed. Posts that share concerns about an issue generally are left intact as long as they don't harass and don't expose a temporary game vulnerability that we all, as players, should want to see fixed, not exploited for personal gain. If you have a concern about a removed thread you can drop an e-mail and I'll take a look to make sure it was properly handled. We honestly don't want to squelch such discussion, we just want to make sure the FCoC is being observed.

You forgot me :(

To me, they were good years ago ( when the drop was better and the unique drop was new and with a moderate price ).

Currently they could be nice if you need charged quartz, magic find, ascended materials like bloodstone dust, and mostly if you like to gamble.

If i do like you, i would have done the same with the transmutation stones

old https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Transmutation_Stone

which after some time became useful in order to get something.

The real problem here is that the system has a big flaw, and we are simply discussing in order to find a way to solve it.

Turning your back to the problem won't help in this discussion.

**PERMANENT REVIVE ORB**

Super Rare Drop from BLC, like other permanent Stuff

Internal Global CD 30 Min

**PERMANENT BOX O'FUN**

Rare Drop from BLC or maybe, as aviator or bubblehead, avaible from the store during festive events.

**UNIDENTIFIED BOX**

Node instance which grants you daily 1x Unidentified Gear ( random rarity ).

**GRAND PRIZE!**

The idea is more or less the lottery like some halloweens ago with the foil candy wrappers

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shiny_Foil_Candy_Wrapper

But will instead be a monthly lottery for BLC lucky customers.

Maybe a Rare Drop which allow the player to partecipate at an exclusive lottery draft with 3 very good prizes.

I.E.

1. Precursor

2. SKIN A

3. SKIN B

And for every partecipant ( once got the monthly ticket you won't be able to get any more of em ), something like 3 black lion keys.

Seems that removing the cap could be the only way then.

Maybe by setting extra luck points even higher.

From 219 to 300 you need 30k each lvl.

Then over 300 could be i don't know 500k each lvl? 1 Milion?

Badumtss.

I just almost capped again this afternoon btw.

That was the problem to begin with.

And also higher stats ofc.

No thanks.
