More diversity? Some people would prefer warclaw over raptor? People prefer the looks? People prefer the skins of warclaw over the ones of raptor? People believe it would better fit their character? Anet would earn money from skins?
Just for kicks, I'll quote you from your own topic that you made about beserker "If you can't figure out what my problem with Berserker is from my initial post, I can't make it more clear. I don't have a problem with the downtime ... I WANT that downtime. It NEEDS that downtime." Obviously, berserker doesn't "need" that. It's just what you want. I played it and it worked, same as plenty other people.

Haha, ok, seriously? We all know what OP is trying to say. It's a suggestion. Going all technical on them for wording it this way, just to say you don't personally care for this change is just unnecessary.

It doesn't matter. We are talking about the "need". There is no need for many things. There was no "need" to change mount's skillbar to include the extra icons for skills. We played without them for ages perfectly fine. I could write pages of "needless" changes, from my perspective.

As opposed to what? Was there a need for beetle? Was there a need for skyscale? Clearly you could do all the content with four core mounts, so there is absolutely no need for those two. But thanks, didn't know you have inside info.

And that somehow means they can't change their minds about it? Why exactly? You realize they also said there won't be mounts in this game at some point? Yet we have them. Same goes for raids. And bunch of other things. I really don't understand why, everytime someone puts a suggestion on forums, people come in to tell them why it won't happen as if they were developers themselves and knew what is best for their game.
Having warclaw being useful mount in PvE would surely make them more money (skins).

> 0) Whats your skill lv?
Medium in general. If you mean in raid, don't know, barely tried them.
> 1 )Why you chosing to pug, insted of do that content with your guild?
All guilds, no matter how casual, require meta builds, which I find just boring. Half the work is already done by someone else. If there was a tool (like Taco) that would show players where to stand at every stage at boss and when to press each button, people would install that with joy. It's like playing football and requesting to have all the best players in your team every time to maximize your chance of winning, otherwise it's waste of time and you refuse to play.
> 2) If lfg gone for raid/strikes, is it gona help socialize ppl with thay guild better? (closing an eye for any form to avoid that)
No.
> 3) If your a solo player without a guild that pug, what wuld make you to joining a guild that organizing strikes/raids insted of pug and playing solo?
People remembering games are meant as entertainment, not second job.
> 4) Is adding a tab with list of all guilds on your server+guasted (that gona show your guild message, number of members and some other info)(also you gona can filter guilds by size, name a->z, pve/pvp/wvw/other) will help you to join a guild or find more quality ones?
Nope.

It wasn't. At least make sure I am quoted honestly. Nice strawman that the two of you built.
I have read your entire comment, before I made mine. I don't see how that makes any difference really. You suggested a new player to go to the website to find a build that suits them. I'm not trying to trash you for it and I don't think bad of you for doing that. I know that a lot of people are just trying to help, when they provide others with links. But I guess I'm just in vast minority of people who can't understand what happened with just trying to play the game and figure it out by yourself. Gamers these days rely on hand holding way too much. People barely start a game and already asking what's best class, what's best build, how do I get that that mount? "Oh it takes time. Well, that's nonsense!" They want everything by tomorrow. OP probably didn't even level up his first character, yet he is directed to websites to look for build.
A lot of these people sooner than later end up of Snowcrows website, snatch the build and BAM, they think they are popping those sweet 30k-35k numbers and often let that go over their head. Then I'm outdpsing a dragonhunter with my scrapper and he insults me, because he just assumes he's doing more damage than me, because he's dh of course. Just few days ago, warrior insulted me for using grenade kit underwater. And I was outdpsing him with nades.

OP, you definitely chose, in my opinion, best profession as jack-of-all-trades. Enjoy and welcome!

People need to stop using dark souls to describe any kind of difficulty. First, because dark souls didn't invent difficulty and second, it's by far not the most difficult game. Dark souls and gw2 have absolutely nothing in common. And HoT difficulty is fine in my opinion. Sure, there are a few BS kind of moves from champs, but still, no reason to go around nerfing anything.

I agree with you. My reply was to the other person that apparently thinks that making males more attractive would somehow take away from females' attractiveness or... well, idk what they meant with that statement "sex sells, so nothing will change". I don't see how that stops developers from making norn males not look idiotically cartoonish.

Lol, what? Are you saying that because we have sexy females, we somehow can't have sexy males? I'm confused.

You make a lot of unreasonable points, OP. Suddenly, leveling is grindy, even though there was always 80 levels and they even made it a while ago, that for the first 15 levels you get xp boost, so you level way faster.
If you only care to do story, then you are playing the wrong game. The fact that you feel like you are only leveling just so you can do story, therefore it feels grinding, is entirely your problem and unreasonable argument. I'm not sure why would you expect to do the whole story when being a rookie that barely can hold a sword. How many games allow you that?

So, you failed because he killed you. That's different. One doesn't have to be meta firebrand or meta warrior or 200 raid bosses under their belts or whatever in order to learn mechanics. People who have no or very little experience will obviously struggle at a boss with mechanics. It's a learning process. Even in raids, you don't need the numbers you see on youtube videos to kill the bosses. Mechanics are way more important.
Besides, you chose obviously the hardest strike mission with most likely the worst bad day example to make your point.

Here is another idea. No Living story at all, which would result in way faster release of expansion(s), so we wouldn't have to wait that long and also it could possibly lead to even better quality expansions, since more people would work on them.

You'll just have to accept the fact that some people prefer paid expansions over free content every few months. It simply isn't just about playtime or amount of content that matters. If that was the case, no one would play single player games and buy dlcs and expansion for them, they would all play mmos with "more content and hours to put in".
These free updates do very little for me. I would prefer to pay 30-50€ for expansion and get game changing features that add replayability and gives me new ways to play the game.
> i did buy content in eso for example and i can say skyrim/greymoor was not worth 40 euro i paid for it.
And? I got plenty of friends that went from gw2 to ESO, bought all expansion and stayed there, claiming it was worth the money and tried to drag me there. So, your opinion on dlcs of some other game not being worth the money really doesn't matter here.

Well, good, maybe you should be part of Arenanet marketing team and trying to convince people to buy skins for mount that is crippled in PvE. Let me know how it goes.
