did you know the oldest cookie in tyria isan orrio?
it was so good, they dipped it in the sea to make it extra salty.
sadly, the only place you can get it now is in raids.

i tried dungeons but even there players are selfish so i stopped, all the others are worse the bigger the party.

firstly, you first need to get to the waypoint to unlock it so if you missed stuff it's all on you.
secondly, i have bin playing since launch, i had to walk everywhere so i know how frikin annoying it is.
so no, only having one or two WP's doesn't have a single benefit whatsoever, unless you see annoying players to the bone beneficial.

i wouldn't even buy the LS, why would i buy nothing?

if ppl need to pay to get a part of the game corrected then i have low hopes for Anet.

at times i only get into the game to see the item and close the game again, this would only speed things up tenfold since the in-game store is slower than meta events with 50+ ppl in it.

> Rift is alive, but when I googled the Rift Prime version, a separate version with the sub fee, I got results indicating that it had been shut down. Is this correct? I am not arguing, just going off of what I saw, perhaps I misunderstood as I do not know the game in question.
i never looked at prime so it's not really something i focus on, i do have to say it's a game worth playing since the dynamic events are kinda better than GW2 does it, IMO ofcouse but still.

i rather want the old maps RPG friendly, the skyscale is already an annoyance enough.

Unfortunately, after 8 years there are very few rewards left to pursue that are not either direct gemstore sales or in the rng lootboxes. Only excitement i get now is rolling a guarantee reward unlock from my weekly key farm, because at least then i might get something cool.

I would have no problem paying a sub fee to support the game for a better reward structure.

that game is still alive and kicking......
and even while rift does it's shop tons better with much better pricing and "gem" worth, i don't like the sub part ether.

i think about a 20% difference would suffice.

ohh, you don't know how annoying it is, i dunno if others experience this but with ADD things that small makes me want to close the game.
the worst part is when they made hearts a forced click thing, i want it auto-accept like before because it keeps blinking like mad.

it takes 5 gems for 1 gold, even with the cut this means that gems are worth less than gold.
IMO there should be two gem types, silver and gold.
gold gems can only be bought with money and have a low gemstore price, the exchange is still the same.
silver gems can be bought with gold but you need to pay a higher price in the gemstore, with this real paying customers actually get rewarded for buying gems while exchange gems are worth less so not paying customers have to farm to get what they want.
and yes, i know it makes the exchange less rewarding but see it this way, no matter the gem pool only real paying customers keep Anet alive, the exchange is just a service they gave so it's not a must.

well, since gold is worth more than gems and gems can be bought with real money it makes gold worth more than money, and since stuff from chests can be sold for gold it becomes a valuable item in the real market.
it sounds really silly i agree but that's how they do view it, if they made gold without actual value this problem becomes mute.
-
IMO actual paying customers should get more for little, gold exchange should always be higher in price.
you spend money, you get actual gems worth the money, you spend gold, you better farm for it.

Raids are the wasted hole within PvE that used up way to much time for little use, i rather see Anet turn raids into something more friendly for the majority of the PvE crowd so the time wasted isn't lost completely.

> uhmm sorry. In my opinion, no it is not. A player can budget their money and purchase from the gem store if they prefer not to grind. Just because you choose to do neither does not invalidate this. This festival occurs every year. Put some money away now and save up for next year. If you had been around, you could have saved up from last year.
and in my opinion festivals should never have super expensive stuff, a hat of 30 items which are extremely expensive should never be used at all.
better yet, they should (yes, i say it again) make quests that has rewards of that sort, allowing anyone to enjoy the festival without worrying about grind and farming items for a single hat.

to add, add a space between the option menu and the search bar.
at times i click to fast by accident but ones the search bar is clicked it can't be undone unless i close my inventory and open it again.
-
it would allow me to think about my gem purchase before messing it up.

you answered your own question...

uhmm yes it is, i don't have the time to grind my ass off to get one single hat and not rich enough to buy them.
lowering the grind to about 5 instead of 30 makes this much more do-able and much more an event thing, 30 for one single hat isn't made for events, that's a thing for regular stuff like legendary weapons.

I'm not sure who would prefer a hat which makes you bald, but if Anet changed it I would not be at all surprised to come to the forum and find a thread full of people complaining that it's ruined their character's entire look, or at least that the substitute hair looks worse than none at all.

For example when the Shining Aureate weapons were released I chose the longbow for my guardian, then they were updated to have a fuzzy glow effect around them and now it looks totally wrong for her so I'm left with a skin I'll probably never use. Not a big deal in that case, but I'd have chosen a different weapon if I'd known they were going to do that.)

> Of course they can *copy* the existing version and then edit the copy to make a new item. @"Danikat.8537" 's point is that they would, indeed, do it that way rather than upsetting *someone* by altering the existing item. For what it's worth, that's SWTOR's explicitly-stated policy, especially for Cartel Market (== Gem Store) items. It's very rare for them to alter existing items if they aren't bugged in some way, as in the recent modifications to the Pragmatic Master's armour set. That was altered because it looked different "in-game" versus during cut-scenes.
and my point is that they are known for simply not do anything and run away from issues like that even while they know about this problem for 8 years, that's to me a sign of a poor excuse of a company.

they can always edit the current version and add that, it's nothing more than a 3D model so they can add them within the new system at any time.
also, the advantage here is that they don't have to make anything from scratch, cutting time by about 80%.
