Strongly against it, SAB already has too many annoying achievements and stuff to unlock.Way too much work for a mere festival that lasts a few weeks only.

I got one, I hate it, I don't plan to use it.Couldn't even sell that thing...

W2Z2 onward is a complete mess.Too long, too involved, too messy. It's simply not the least bit fun.Was eager to complete all achievements and unlock everything. SAB quickly became the worst festival I've encountered due to te reasons stated above. It's completely out of line compared to all the other seasonal events, requires way too much time and effort compared to those. It's just way too... sadistic ._.Can't say I appreciate such content

If someone's account gets stolen in the first place it's their own fault entirely.No one is going to steal/hack someone's phone to get a GW account. They'd have to give out the info.Anet protected people's accounts more than adequately with 2FA.

Minstrel healbrand works btw. Keeps even the 200AP people alive :)Now if only they wouldn't try to kill absolutely everything that moves in the dungeon lolPeople who could afford full minstrel probably wouldn't be asking in this thread.Uhm, a bit of context: I'm the one who asked/opened this thread and what I wanted is an easier way of introducing completely new people to dungeons.So yeah, that advice is on point (to me). If someone just wants to run the paths normally with their own character, yay, you've got a list of the easier paths.

Safety measures gainst what?The gold spammers from 5 years ago that left for newer, freshly released, higher revenue games?The gold spammers many people didn't see for years?The gold spammers that need to BUY expansion to do "business"?The gold spammers that would also need to buy a mail carrier to get a measly extra +2 mail limit?The gold spammers that can get banned in the blink of an eye?The gold spammers that can't steal accounts due to 2FA which pesters you to use it until you eventually agree to it? It's like I'm asking to give free accounts unrestricted mailing rights. That's how you're reacting ._.And it's not like they can't add additional restriction like accounts with 1k+ hours being able to send that extra mail. Or adding an option to block mail from people who aren't in any of your guilds or in your contact list. Althought those are completely and utterly unnecessary measures in my opinion and a waste of development time. Increasing the mail limit on the other hand shouldn't be too much work because from what I've read they used to be higher anyway to begin with.With the carriers they would at least earn money and alleviate people's issues with excessive messaging.It's literally win-win for both the game publisher and players.

Yeah it's been years for me too.And lol @ llama dude. At least you didn't call him kitten dude :p I'm not trying to be rude, but I can't stay fully serious either if people can only respond with useless/sarcastic remarks without bringing valid arguments to the conversation. Like in all seriousness the mail carriers would become a new revenue source for Arenanet and make a lot of people happier.Those who don't care about it, be happy, leave me alone, move on with your life. The mail system in itself is frustrating me enough as it is :/

I haven't come across a single gold seller in the past year... And I play a lot.Can hardly imagine they would buy a mail carrier for 2 extra mails and all of a sudden start an "infestation".

I've got a guild to run and I can't even send out a few dyes to guild members without ME being spammed by an Excessive messaging popup!Could you at least let the long term players interact normally with the rest of the community they're close to?!This is getting more and more annoying every time I come across this pop up!PLEASE ADD SOME FUNCTIONALITY TO THE MAIL CARRIERS AT THE VERY LEAST LIKE THEM INCREASING THE MAIL LIMIT BY AT LEAST 2 MAILS! I would at least have a reason to buy one. If someone ends up abusing the mail system there's the report button thankfully, so PLEASE think about it!The mail system is a joke right now, due to the limits and due to me not seeing the username of the person who emailed me.

The one thing I despise about this game is unskippable story tbhAnd they ended up putting actual content and achievements behind it lolListening to NPCs on repeat is probably the most unpleasant thing I can do in any given game

It was available in Black Lion chest then it was made available through Black lion statuettes.They changed the selection for those soooo, not atm no.It will come back eventually tho

I'd like to be able to sort the categories alphabetically.Or add some favorites on top.

I got killed by a wurm I didn't even get to see.I fight something else and suddenly from who knows where a wurm starts hitting me hard and I actually die because I was already low on HP.Was just lying there on the ground for a few seconds like:

There's lots of ways to convert spirit shards to gold. And you can't really have too much of that, whether you spend it to buy "things" or convert to gems.Laziness seems to be the only problem here. A few skins or decorations for spirit shards would be nice I guess.

Assembling a team of 5 OK (not decent, or good) players for fractals can be a challenge.I can't be bothered to do strikes with 10 randoms for meh rewards and a small chance at getting a good drop.

Even if they enabled world chat it would likely be a gem shop item with a few uses to prevent spamming.People would complain about a new gem shop item and I, like many others, would disable world chat just so we don't see the guild recruitment spam. And you not wanting to join a guild in a game that literally has "Guild" in its name is so comical it hurts.How in the world do you expect to have any kind of connection to a game if you don't have a few people you can get along with, talk to and do stuff with?

Like that will help you in tagging events when there's a horde of level 80 players doing a low level event...They'll just nuke the mobs with aoes instead...I really hope you and/or the players you mentioned aren't trying to walk up to the mobs and use melee attacks.Use ranged attacks and aoes to tag stuff, they're so generous at giving event credit, it's quite the feat when you don't manage to get any participation at all..... The only problem I see is the mobs staying squishy while there's a ton of people around doing dailies aka event scaling issues

From what I heard some of the classes can pull even more dps on golem after the supposed nerfs.

Help opener then, make it a memorable achievement for him too.

Prototype position rewinder from sandswept isles.That diving spot was driving me insane, that's when i got that gizzmo. Can always go back to your previous position mid fall if you fail a jump.It's annoying, sure, but luckily there's a way around it .

I dislike the amount of flashy effects in group content too :/It makes it much harder or near impossible to see some mechanics and just contributes to the FPS drops...

Alt+Tab works instantly if you run the game in Windowed Fullscreen mode. I really see no issue in switching to a browser.And if you're following some crafting guide or rotation guide use split screen. Just make your browser window as narrow as possible so the game takes up most of the screen on the other side.

I really despise the patronizing people who managed to do this event in the game's prime time or randomly during some world boss event =)And now they simply don't care about the new players, the buggy/difficult achievements or lack of people in old maps.Yet they can still spout things like "just organize X amount of people to do something unpopular with little to no reward for them".I wonder why they don't offer their help instead of useless advice until opener gets achievement, and see how they like attempting one ach for weeks ;) But yes, I do agree with the opener that achievements that can't be attempted often and/or need large groups of people to complete should be slowly revised. Seems counterproductive to frustrate your new players...

I gave up on AP hunting, some things are just way too repetitive or expensive.Love that sense of completion, but not willing to trade my sanity for it :)Like, it would be okay to offer an additional reward without AP for repeating something way too many times.Do this 5 times, do that 10 times to get the drops, repeat this n times and then you'll get a fancy skin from an NPC or a title.
