Yeah, I do because my account was created at the launch of the game. And most of my posts are agreeing with posters that feel like I do only. I never tell devs to change the game to fit what I want. I just say how I feel.

This post hit the nail on the head. And of course, he is going to be told that it's him that sucks playing even though for 80 levels of the base game he was playing fine. The expansions have not been made for those players that loved the base game. I knew 10 people that loved this game before the expansions and they all have quit and think the devs are stupid for listening to the armchair know it alls in this community who claim to speak for everyone. And when this game goes to steam it will fail hard too. They are trying to suck in new players to fall for the same thing the OP did. They refuse to balance the mobs in the expansions to match the mobs of the base game. They made the maps in the expansion annoying and hard to get around. No other MMO does this with its maps. The game needs new management to bring back the fun of the launch of the game. But the devs here are more worried about pissing off the armchair forum posters that think they know everything that players want.

Yeah give the vocal minority everything they want and screw everyone else is the GW2 moto.

The only reason a lot of people still play is that they can forget about how bad the game got after HOT.

This 100%
The people that really enjoy the game are not posting and crying on the forums. These people got the devs to give them what they want and it's not enough for them. It's like this in every mmo forum now. These are the hardcore players that should be ignored most of the time but devs for some reason think these people speak for everyone.
-
WOW, you guys wanted the game to be all about gear like Wow and now that the devs caved to your demands you complain about the game is to easy. The player base in this game is what killed it.
-
A classic server that follows what the original plan was for the game. The classic Manifesto server. Yeah, I would pay a monthly fee for that.
-
If you don't have the expansions then Exotic is fine but once you buy the expansions you will need the best gear in the game.
-
Just remember the base game is really fun but the expansion content is twice as hard and made for the hardcore vet. players, so you have been warned.

> also they're unlocking their first elite spec.
This is why I'm starting to dislike the player base here. These smug elitist that just post to insult anyone that rightfully complains about the over the top difficulty of the expansion content. I got a new character to level 80 and got the exotic gear and was still having a blast doing map completions in the base world. Then I tried to do POF content and couldn't believe how OP the mobs were compared to the base game. In any other MMO, this would be called unbalanced content. All I did was die over and over. And now I'm being told I have to play differently than I did through 80 levels of content. What I load of BS. The expansions in this game are not meant for most players just the hardcore elite snubs.

I agree with you. A new player going from level 1 to 80 is in for a shock. And I know the reason why they did this. It was to please their veteran players that complained content was to easy. Heck, you even have them asking to make it even harder still. I got the game at launch and I don't even bother with the expansion content much anymore even though I own both of them. I just can't be bothered because they suck the fun right out of the game for me. If a game needed a difficulty slider it's this one.

It was through a portal. Didn't know about an event though.

I have three-level, 80 classes. Ranger, Necro, and engineer. I love playing all three of them and can't pick one as a main.

Why deal with Sony and Microsoft's demands for this. The game is fine as is. And you know what group abandons mmo's the most?

Star wars died with Disney to me. The movies are just so bad.

Any way of getting them other than login rewards? I remember having quite a few of them in my bank awhile back.

I created a new Azura Engineer character and was trying to complete the Metric Provence zone. I had one more point of interest to get and the map made it seem like it was in the Inquest complex. For over an hour I just couldn't find it and died a few times from those inquest grenadiers. I finally yelled out for help. And this guy swoops in teams up with me and takes to where it was which wasn't in the complex. Just as quick he was gone. So a big thanks to that guy.
-
Wow, I thought I was the only one. I really miss the old LA. It was so unique and really fun to explore. The new version to me is just another large generic MMO city.

Thank you so much. That is it but the dreads are black with some brown highlights and the headband is brown and black. I was hoping it was account-wide. Is it in all style kits or its random? It was a long time ago when I got it.

OK, so this was for my Azura male character. In fact, I have not seen anyone else with it. Maybe it's a headpiece. He has long dreads with a brown and black headband.

> You automatically think your opinion is the one and only correct of actual majority of gw2 playerbase, meanwhile anyone holding a different opinion is just "vocal minority" and "armchair know it all who claim to speak for everyone" -both of which are baseless statements. Somehow you don't see anything ironic in the position you've decided to hold here?
No, I said the content difficulty of the expansions does not match the base games 80 levels of gameplay and turns some people off. You can try and twist my words into whatever you want. But what I said is still true. They also I think know they have a problem because they are only doing new accounts with the steam launch. Not once did I say they should change it. I just mentioned what everyone knows is true.
