(I know that plane effect a few years back got anet on edge, but an effect like this is so harmless i can't possibly imagine any backlash)

No backlash? I hated it. I didn't play until it was gone. I know several other players who likewise hated it.

Well, for that effect, there should always be a disable button, of course(can hardly imagine why anyone would passionately hate a 1-day effect, though)

You'd be surprised. Some players are so engrained in a gaming environment that any change no matter how small or fleeting is reason for REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE mode.

[What do you do for fun?]

Tequatl, Karka Queen, Golem Mk II. Every day.

[Do you want an ultimatum over cosmetic effects? [guess not]]

The philosophy I have is people are free to look like Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade floats all they want. Making an understated consistent look is more distinctive in that environment.

Keeping an eye on the market, as it were.

@kharmin.7683 said:I think that with the impending expansion, and Steam release sometime soon-ish, Anet is anticipating a large influx of new (or newer?) players and they are manipulating the economy to be more favorable for the new players.

Applying a hole saw to the barriers to entry as it were.

[Do you use combos?]

Probably by accident in zergs. Character would say a certain voiceline like "Lethal combination! I like it!". Still remember when there was a daily quest to get X number of combos and being in a starting area party with a leader coordinating the effort.

[It’s happening! Stretch Animation - [Merged]]

Dangling pre-existing content as a goal doesn't inspire confidence or a desire to follow the tasks.

I expect it to be spammed en masse in every zerg event I find myself in regardless.

[LAG LAG LAG - Anet please stop ignoring the community on this! - [Merged]]

Posting to add my voice to the unplayable lag. Doing the Tequatl event yesterday had easily half a dozen times where the lag was so bad the game froze completely. Have never seen such bad performance ingame in the eight years I've had a GW2 install.

Also, what's the deal with needing to log in before seeing anything in the forums?

[unable to log in]

Can't get in, even though I was ingame a few minutes ago.

[Suggestions for making RP a little less painful]

The other people doing things you don't want them to do are also roleplaying. As disruptions, but still RP'ing.

On the other side of the coin, I do find it rather off-putting when a group of RPers are in a high-traffic area (i.e. Divnity's Reach Minister's WP) doing their thing in ways that subjectively makes my brain hurt, completely ignoring everyone around them. In that, their way of playing is impacting my own.

[Would a digital/online collectible card game ( CCG ) be an option - as addition to GW2?]

I would be in favour of this. Could be interesting having the Gatewatch Destiny's Edge in card form along with the Ikoria behemoths Elder Dragons.

[Should Anet Monetize Content]

@Randulf.7614 said:I'm confused by some of your statements because they don't seem to apply to GW2 at all.

My hypothesis is the longer this game goes, the more some players want it to be WoW. Didn't even read the OP beyond the first sentence before voting for the overwhelmingly favourite option.

[Your favorite content type in GW2?]

Normal gameplay here. Social soloing in the age of social distancing!

[Would you rather be your character?]

Edit: What if you had to switch with one of them? Would you still want to?

Yes, I'd love to be in a world of magic and fantasy. Plus, I can never die -- people could just "revive" me. xD

But it still hurts.

Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says different is selling something.

Inconceivable!

[Would you like to see tails in Guild Wars 2?]

@len.7809 said:my Charr aproves the idea, because what's a kitty without a tail.

A manx.

[Gold Farming Methods?]

I would hypothesize that all the players for whom getting tons of gold was their aim have already gotten all they want and nobody else has replaced them.

[May the fourth be with you]

I'm just amused at how 43 years of a franchise that became a cultural touchstone came down to "Bleep you, Granddad!"

[Why no TP in Guild Halls?]

@Randulf.7614 said:Yeah it is annoying but it did give use to my big stack of portable TP when I was scribing

This is unintentionally hilarious.

[Why do you still play this game?]

To do things right that weren't done the first three times around. Right now (and probably due to the xp boost) my alt account is level 49 and has three maps completed.

I think that goes for every post in this thread.

Including this one.
