I recently saw a guild with the ' in it and since then I'm been stumped on how to acquire that for a guild name idea I have. I may contact the devs and see if it's possible.

Are special characters allowed in Guild Names, or even characters such as ($, £, ', #, [, ], etc...)

I don't want it handed to me, I am thinking of ways that they could have made alternatives, that's what I said in the beginning. I understand all the advice given to me and I'm executing it but for everyone saying that it isn't toxic and my mindset is the issue, it isn't about that at all. It's simply about WANTING to do WvW to EARN the Gift of Battle and HAVING TO PUT WITH this kind of toxicity in game, what should I do to avoid it, play by myself in a TEAM BASED mode with chat off? The idea of WvW isn't the problem for me, I actually want to play it but literally every time I'm in this mode regardless of the 4 servers I've already paid to switch to, there's nothing but drama, toxicity and name calling to those who have no clue what they're doing (me for example) which makes earning things like Gift of Battle, unenjoyable, sometimes unobtainable because I cba playing a Team Based mode alone or I just keep getting 1 hit by someone I cannot see. The bottom line is I was expecting "alternatives" to be spoken about but there hasn't been.. A great Alternative would be what Strider suggested for example.

I understand the idea of "Legendary Items" being harder to obtain but we hear about it all the time, WvW players don't want to do PvE content to get Legendary Equipment, nor do PvP players and vise versa from PvE->WvW/PvP. It just doesn't make any sense as to why there are still WvW requirements on any Legendary Weapon or even PvP when they're all tied to the PvE gameplay... why not just make them all PvE obtainable without having to endure days of dailies/or/camping WvW with trash talking teams and it's got nothing to do with changing my mindset, it has something to do with players putting in so much effort to make WvW unbearable for players like me who actually come in to try make progress.

So I'm on a low populated server, no commanders, no teamwork and it's full of toxicity in the team chat, I can't get a SINGLE kill because I'm being 1 hit by a camping thief on the borders of my spawn point. I keep trying to progress through this reward track yet the more time I spend in WvW now, the more time I'm thinking about completely quitting the game like, why is Gift of Battle STILL required for Legendary Equipment outside of WvW? It's completely infested with toxicity and I can't seem to find an answer other than "Move server" which I can't afford to do... why isn't there alternative ways to acquire this for people that are not WvW savvy?

Is it me or is the lack of Orichalcum Nodes after 2 Expansions getting a bit tedious now? I've just noticed as I'm going for another Gen. 2 Legendary that these Nodes are so few yet the level of the areas are 80, why wouldn't there be more in these areas? I wonder if Arena Net will put more of these nodes in come the next expansion because the material really isn't that rare in terms of its use, it would be more beneficial to players to be able to find more of these instead of having to rely on the Trading Post for purchasing a large amount of it in the future. Might just be me but it's just an idea.

If a player doesn't know how to Crowd Control in 100CM or even in any Tier 4 Fractal, that player just needs a little heads up - not to be shut out because certain players believe it to be a be-all-end-all requirement. It doesn't take much to ensure everybody knows about CC before heading in.

I think people can be too lazy (yes of course it's a problem) but what a bigger problem is, people who point it out can be quite toxic about it and the more we deny this the more it stays the same. In any case, mentioning someones ability to CC whether it's bad or good encourages better team-work but nowadays it's all about efficiency regardless of 100CM or not it's always been about efficiency. 100CM IS DOABLE with no Consumables. Is 100CM doable with the current Meta Setups? Maybe not. That's down to us, the players who come together to do it, to figure out our builds to ensure it gets done practically instead of figuring out how to zoom through. People have already been saying it's the "easiest" Challenge Mode, I doubt that this was Arena Nets intention because it's meant to feel like a Challenge Mode so therefore it's going to have challenges where the players have to overcome, I'm actually looking forward to trying out 100CM with no cons and look forward to seeing others do the same because it IS doable.

I feel that the active fallback attitude on these items was just wrong to be fair. The idea that some groups doing Fractal Challenge Modes had these as requirements going in was... confusing. If players didn't follow Meta Builds so much they would likely be able to execute mechanics with no problems at all (including the Breakbar Mechanic) and still do reasonable amounts of damage but because of this whole "Fast is best" mindset people start to lose track on skills that actually mean something in their class. Let's look at the current "Pug Meta" for example; Renegade (Huge CC)Bannerslave (Huge CC)DPS x2 (Dependant on the class, barely-to-nice amount of CC)Healer (Can bring good CC situationally)So why would there EVER be a need for Consumables when this setup is already packing HUGE Crowd Control? I'd say that players affected by this need to learn how to play their classes a lot more efficiently other than relying on an un-intended situation. By the way I do not mean this as an attack on any individual but more of an open statement, after all this affects most Challenge Mode groups now but I'm glad Arena Net took this away.

Hey, So lately I've been trying to send my alt accounts dailies to my main and I keep getting the excessive messages have been sent message popping up when I've not send mail to my main in a while... anybody else that's doing this had this problem?
