They can't sell them again to people who already bough them, so not a snowballs chance in hell. I'm sure they could, but they wouldn't benefit from that.

Why? (Ugh, why is there some stupid minimum character limit all of a sudden?) Probably because if something is "legendary", that means that, to get it, you have mastered all game modes.If you want to fully gear your character with legendaries, you have to do just that.It's not much of a "legendary journey" if you zerg every challenge. Would make much more sense to be solo, not as an option, but as a requirement.

I don't even care much what they look like as long as they are symmetrical. Why most designers of weapons/armors for games love asymmetry so much is beyond me.

Do you explode when you die as a choya?

How about a chair other people can interact with? Then we could see how many trolls are spineless and how many are willing to take the chance of getting banned (might even happen when maps full of people report them) as they, of course, sit on top of a meta event reward chest.

The question is, why did they go out of their way to do it like that? They couldn't have thought it would be fun, so what was the purpose of it? Unless anet devs has some chip on their shoulders, it doesn't make sense.

Which should lead one to believe that it isn't an error. You can't make an "error" 10 times in a row by accident.

Just your average MMO behaviour. Nothing will be done until it gets publicity, so beg/pay some streamers to make a stink out of it so their mindless followers can go nuts.

The question is, why would i want to service the spirits or human gods just to gain some trivial skill?

So...Nepotism at work?

New mount? Unlikely, but considering how well the mount skins sell (for some unfathomable reason), 100% sure there will be more of those. Of course, the fact that they are so popular and sell well means that PoF will not be the only expansion which requires mounts to progress, or at the very least are required for some masteries. They will probably add PoF and HoT along with EoD for the same price as soon as it's released.

And then the AFKers will move in, activate auto attack and that's it. They still didn't work for the rewards, but they still got them. that's still better than scaling up the event and doing 0 dps -- it's still bad but better than "worse" and if they dont participate enough (due to being dead and afk) or not doing enough healing/dps then they still wont get credit Yeah, but i'd rather not settle on "bad". I know it's like wishing for the stars from the sky, but still... i know. i wouldn't either but can't help it if arenanet designs openworld meta content that caters to these people -- the only thing we can do is complain or voice our frustration just like the OP Yeah, just a staple of game as a service games. Despicable.

Bans in waves only the ones that are free and that don't buy things from the gemstore. If they have the DLCs, they will NEVER get banned. As long as anet profits, they don't give a damn, which is the same as it is in all MMOs.

Anet working on hairstyles? Yeah, right...

How does that work with the story? Currently, it makes sense since the story builds up to our character becoming Aurene's champion to bring balance to the world. Now you want to throw in a new race, which was not part of the pact previously, and they are Aurene's champion out of nowhere? And the forthgoing story keeps treating us as the guy who was always at Aurene's side since her birth, yet we were not around when that actually happened? If the story is supposed to make any sense with a new race, then you have to add them retrospectively. Not just as a random soldier who joined the fight when we travelled towards Cantha. But this concept has been done before in mmorpgs. Remember WoW and the death knights? They skipped over a large part of the story but had their unique own story, and then joined the main story after that. Now let's assume a new race that starts in Cantha is pre-leveled to the lowest level area and this is where they start. It would focus on what most people come to the expansion for anyways, and bring a unique sense to the race. It could actually work. I never played WoW, so I am not sure how that was handled there exactly and how the story plays out. Is there something similar like the Aurene situation? Like I mentioned, the difficult part is that the protagonist is supposed to be Aurene's champion since her birth. We have a strong link to her and it is defining the entire story. Our relationship with Aurene is the base of everything that is going on, how we are defeating the elder dragons and let Aurene take their place in the natural order and such. New races would struggle to find into this story, since they simply can't be Aurene's champion when they joined the pact just with our travel to Cantha. That's why the race would need to get added retrospectively, which comes with it's own problems.They could just make Caithe aurenes slave and let the new race be free from that burden. That would be great, and i would play whatever race it would be exclusively after that.

I want the story, but in GW2 it is plain and simple, bad, with characters being worst aspect of the game. However as it's impossible to ask for better story at this point, it's possible to have the option to skip it. This game has a lot of positive traits which outweigh the negatives. It'd make the game even better if we were able to skip worst part of it altogether. *Forced exposure to cheesy dialogues with poorly made characters isn't exactly a good thing for a game, especially for an MMO. but you can explore the entire map without the story..you can, quite literally, conquer orr, the far shiverpeaks, and all of elona, without ever so much as batting an eye to the inquest interfering with the snaff savant (or whatever lesser race's story you're playing)I mean, sure, you can't do storymode bosses.. but hey.. they're part of the story that you seem to want to skip.. so.. ?Yes, i do want to fight story bosses. I DO NOT want to listen to "witty banter" every time something happens. At least you could just skip inquests boasting as the snaff savant, but when you got humanized during the story, you eventually devolved so you can't remember how to do that anymore. An especially terrible fate for the once snaff savant, now just a hero.

Yes, just imagine when you're waiting for a meta event, a bunch of people start exploding with a blinding light show. Why not add explosion sounds while you're at it? Then it can truly be the worst gem store thing ever.

Heh, sounds good to me. All you need is space.

How about space druid?

Yes, the female Norn should obviosly be made more in-line with the males.

This is sunk cost fallacy. Just cuz Anet dumped resources into something that does not mean every player wants and have to play it. If the story is not interesting enough to stand on its own, without making mandatory to access other content, then why does it even exist? Chores? Indeed, there is no reason why you couldn't skip the story, so it's not like there is anything to argue about anyway. Not like my ability to skip it would remove it from anyone else. So here i am just wondering why some people here do that.

So far i can't enter PoF without listening to herald of balthazar go on about...whatever forgetable monologue it was. The fact that you can circumvent it with the teleport to friend things seems needlessly convoluted. Not to mention that you need to waste one of those things just for that. I thought the discussion was about core Tyria masteries and achievements.I though it was about skipping story.
