Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you buy your way to top AP, you get rewards along the way whereas unlocking waypoints doesn't grant same?

Still doesn't seem good enough to me that I would buy keys to open some (or all) of the 500 BLCs that I have in storage. Glad that others are finding it more satisfying than before, though.

I've had pretty good success with asking in map chat for people to not mount-kill during daily events. Granted, I shouldn't have to politely ask but when I do I notice a significant reduction in that action.

Allow me to apologize for my assumptions, then. ;)

I do find agreement with your concerns in regards to player privacy.

Personally, I enjoy it when someone whispers me and asks about my gear/wardrobe. I like to know when I've been noticed, especially since I don't have any ascended/legendary items.

Making the game bad is one thing. Saying that some third-party tool makes the game better is saying something completely different. Again, as I said before this is a subjective point of view. You seem to feel that these things make GW2 better, and that's probably true for you. Others in numerous threads have argued counter to your point.

Really? Anet thinks that DPS meters made their game better? Hmmm

That's a very subjective point of view.

Then why not ask for a gem store item that will give you full AP and be done with it?

> This is how you get the most spent by the most people: start high, eventually go down. And as the price goes down, the likelyhood of more people getting it goes up. By the time no one else or very few more people would buy it, you lower the price, and what you get is way more people buying it for the lower price, and you earn more than what you'd earn from the few people less that would pay the full price.

I'm not sold on this example. If the price will eventually go down, and everyone knows that it will, then no one will purchase at the "premium" price -- rather, they will wait for the price reduction which they know will occur. Sure, there is the likelihood of more people purchasing as the price goes down; however, there would probably not be anyone purchasing at the higher price. I know that I wouldn't.

For me, I'm glad that the shirt isn't widely available. It would further break immersion to see characters with more contemporary attire. There are already enough immersion-breaking things in my opinion.

Don't expect this to happen since transmute charges are in the gem store. I believe Anet would prefer us to buy them rather than give them to us for "free"

I'd rather the devs spend resources on active content, not idle content. But that's me. {shrugs}

Perhaps not fun for you. ;) Anet must be doing something right to please the majority in order to keep their lights on.

Good point; however, I imagine many players who have grown frustrated at the instanced content haven't continued with it, so when new chapters come out with higher "learning curves" it just increases the frustration. Personally, almost all of my characters are stopped at Claw Island because I hate that instance and would rather spend my gaming time doing other things. I have grown as a player by managing my way through open-world content in Core, HoT and PoF, but the solo instances still frustrate me.
