...which is a false equivalency. The danger of Kinder eggs is not psychological, but purely medical. That's like comparing disease infections to dice games.

False equivalency. Those were banned because children were choking on the tiny, plastic tat inside.

1. The inventory Search function is quite powerful and smarter than you'd think. Try it out.

2. "They're just going to Google it" is not an excuse to stop having puzzles. Discovery is the only crafting in the game that actually feels like crafting. Anything else is just clicking menus.

3. Color coding doesn't work because a surprisingly large number of players are color blind. The unique shapes are sufficient. Purely a L2P issue.

4. Eh... Customization options are good, but your reasoning is dumb. Nobody but you cares about your mouse.

Why are people so invested in forcing ANet fellate a pseudo-celebrity dingus on live stream? Surely it's the *streamer's* job to get/keep people interested, not the other way around.

That's what this: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/categories/players-helping-players

...is for.

Considering that "Expansion Level Content" is utterly meaningless... Both.

> Then you have no idea what you are talking about. With the masteries you open up the maps with your new skills. A player with full souped up mounts and gliding makes hot and other areas a total breeze. While newcomers can only watch as the skyscales and griffons soars above. That -IS- progression. It will take a long time for someone open the Skyscale for example, and a longterm goal to work towards and earn.

But is that the *only* progression?

If you think so, then perhaps it is you who "have no idea what you are talking about".

They didn't. You just care more about it now because that's where your focus is.

Why you need/use the Squad UI when you already have the Party UI is beyond me, but sure.

So... including the prologue, yes they did?

That's what it was before, and it slowed combat down too much. It made Blind too "fire and forget" rather than proactive. So they made Blind a mirror for Aegis instead, and sped up skills that caused Blind. It's better this way.

It's no more gambling than regular Exotic drops.

So according to the rider, we are preparing to invade Jormag's icy citadel. "Knocking on her front door", as it were.

Since Jormag is the icy disaster dragon, could it be said that we are "assaulting Blizzard headquarters"? =)

...I'll show myself out.

It is truly random and therefore inherently "fair".

Things it is *not*: "cost effective", "likely or probable", "particularly fun to farm for (if that's all you're doing)".

You misspelled "Persona"

Exactly. So if they give it it's own subforum, we can more easily ignore it!

The OP keeps picking new fights.

You're welcome.

The Old Republic is on Steam because EA has given up on it. Is that what you want? ANet to give up?

It's called a "feed algorithm". YouTube determines what videos you'll like to watch based on ones you've seen before, up to and including watching it again.

You may be getting confused with the new video released today, containing the same message (but different lines and actors), where the VA's explain that the next chapter will not contain Voice Acting because of COVID. If you're that bored, why are you watching it? Might I suggest playing a video game?

How would we possibly know what you will think is good?

Dear ArenaNet, as a pre-launch veteran, please don't listen to that kitten.

Oh wow, Apple still has a music store? I thought they abandoned it when they closed iTunes.
