Because people with low esteem are the ones desperate to have power or status over other people. High self esteem people aren't desperately clinging to the emotional high of beating people in pvp. The hostility and toxicity comes from a need to feel superior.

All pvp communities are the worst of their respective game. Gw2 is not special in this regard. Pvp can be a place for fun competition, sure, but it is mostly just a coping ground for people with low self esteem to feel better about themselves.

It's pretty slimy. I hate that they also swapped the BL chests pretty much immediately after a key sale. Pretty much reeks of sleazy practice.

They explicitly said older stuff will remain available. This is some serious chicken little stuff.

short answer: No. Long answer: You don't use your griffon very well, it seems. I personally have the griffon, skyscale, roller beetle, raptor, skimmer, and jackal all bound to different keys and I use them all constantly. There are many situations where the griffon is better than the skyscale, basically anywhere you are high up, and I routinely use the skyscale to get altitude, switch to griffon in midair, and then dive to actually travel. I see absolutely no reason why the griffon should just be a cosmetic alternative to the skyscale when it does several things better than the skyscale. Player misuse is not a good justification.

Players: "I wish we had more content to do." Anet: "Here's some new content, expanded daily/weekly system, and a whole new reward system!" Players: "How dare you."

Yeah, no to all of these. Been wanting more gun mages for ages and now we're getting 3 flavors. Likewise for a legitimate spellcaster revenant. The only thing I would have changed would be mesmer rifle to mainhand pistol because they fit a pistoleer better imo, but that's just flavor.

And here I was thinking open world PVE was the best thing Vindictor was good at. I just roll over everything. It did take a LOT of getting used to, however, way more adjustment than most other specs I've played on other classes.

I think the 1 is the only real problem with hammer. It's too slow both in terms of projectile speed and activation speed. I think it would benefit from shooting more projectiles, or hitting multiple times, or something similar. I wonder if it would work better as a sort of chain-lightning style attack that boomerang's back, a bit like Mesmer GS's 2. I'm super skeptical Anet would ever do anything about it though.

Does anyone know if any way to make mounts handle like they do normally while in action cam? The fact that they'll try to turn around instead of just backing up when you press back is very annoying.

You get 2 heals from one legend, both with short cooldowns. If you're fighting aggressively with the archemorus abilities, it's doing a good amount of damage as well. You should be using it as soon as you have taken some damage, not holding onto it until you need it.

I'd be fine with it if the class mechanic to give you endurance just restored your bar completely instead of giving you like 80% of a bar. Then you could at least prime another dodge if you're anticipating needing it. Otherwise I do like the idea of being able to end it earlier. It was something I was thinking myself a few weeks back, let the player dodge again to land the jump with maybe the damage scaling to how long you're in the air.

Sounds like reaching to me. Or at the very least a top-dog insecurity, since a lot of the male characters are still great, and arguably characters like Rytlock, Canach, and now Rama are consistently some of the most popular characters with players. They don't have to be in charge to be important, interesting, or well-written. Logan may be subordinate to Jenna, but he's still a more interesting character who sees more screen time and goes through more character development than she does. She may be higher rank, but he's more relevant. Same with Rama and Min, same with Rytlock and Crecia. Heck even with taimi being the big-brain through so much of EoD's storyline, Gorrik's character development is miles more interesting.

Watch them do kitten-all about it for several months. Anet doesn't seem to care much about fixing rev bugs.

It's dumb because it's not even consistent enough to make a habit of getting around it. There have been a few times for me where it defaulted to red instead, and I have no idea how I did it.
