[I've spent $150 on keys in the gem store...]

Well, 

when Vermillion Throne was introduced, I spent around 150 Euro to get it...The previous chest(with the Skiff) I spent around the same amount...

I got the new glider/wings on my first key from the current chest...

RNG is RNG...things will even out... eventually 🙂

[Cant start the game after last patch]

Title. Can go past character screen, but when i try to start the game it freezes in infinite loading.

[Dear Anet: Condi gear prices are out of control]

Making deep calculations and cost-efficiency related brain-juggling, while still having the most casual mindset and not knowing basic stuff.
Why this topic still exists and ppl comment on it? 
The most non-grindy game being pointed as such...

[It's NOT OK to Hard-Lock skins behind BL Chest RNG !!]

I spent 150(!!!!!!) keys to get the Skiff Skin....

You can translate how much this is in real money. 

I gota admit Gw2 - is creating a gamble addiction problem for me.

It still boggles my mind that people complain about gear acquisition in 2022, considering how the whole acquisition thing has been streamlined throughout the years to the point you can spend virtually 0 gold for a full set of any kind of exotic or ascended gear. But, god forbid, you need to actually farm play and invest few days to acquire stuff, in a game where gear is like literally the only relevant thing you have to pay for. Mind boggling.

Well, this is what the commercialization and the "hunt" for players did to gaming overall.
More and more soft souls that have several dollars, that the companies want to extract, entered the gaming world and in order to profit the companies dumbed down everything to "click here and enter end game" approach. Almost all games do that nowadays and this made the "new wave" of gamers whatever they are now in terms of goals and incentive.
I know gaming is a form of escapism from the RL, but I still can't believe ppl think that they deserve something, just because...
Complaining about price of mats and the "NEED" to actually play several hours to gear your character with ENDGAME gear, that you will never touch from now on is indeed mind boggling... I guess OP or the other anathematizing repliers never played BDO or haven't tried Lost Ark yet...

To have a problem with the cost of things in a game where you literally need 5 hours tops(assuming you get 30g/h, which is not optimal) to gear your character and never touch that gear again is like drowning little kittens in a bottle cap.

 

If you care that much and dive deep into the cost of the mentioned gear, why didn't you invest that time in researching how to make sick amount of gold and never be bothered again about such minor topics? Oh, wait... Its research and research is time, which equals money, which equals ingame gold, thus making achieving something actually a net negative experience... Duh...

 

I know, I know - now OP will mention the "new players"... Which is totally irrelevant. Do you think absolutely new player care about gear, stats and cost? No. They are clueless lambs and by the time they start to actually think about raid gear(viper's), they will have mats and gold for at least 4 sets if they used the "Deposit all" button several times.

 

Finally, yes - people here gave very helpful advices about alternative gear and such, but the people complaining about a 30g cost then complained about a 30 minutes "farm"(this is embarrassing even to type). I mean... C'mon.

For the time that OP answered every opinion/advice in the thread, while making bellow average attempts at economy analysis , they could`ve farmed full set of viper's and then some...

[The Jade Vault bug]

Same for me.

 

Alrdy multiple posts were made with this issue and they still didnt hotfixed this. 

It blocks so many ppl to progress towards the new leggys.

If they dont fix it today, Im done with this expansion - they fixed so many other stupid stuff, instead of this major one.

 

As an economy player, this totally kitten up my entire plans. 

[Can't submit support ticket]

Overall, cant log into the support site at all.

Once I click Submit a ticket it asks me to sign in.

I do and then I am redirected to my account overview page.

After that I click on support again, because I want to submit a ticket and it asks me to fill my credentials again...

 

And the loop continues forever...

Anyone can assist me?

 

P.S. : Also, why the option for anonymous ticket got removed?

[Jade Vault Achievement NPC bugged [Merged]]

Me too... Blocked for the new leggies cause of this.
