Many of the old PvE dailies are present as PvE weeklies in WV. Bounties, World Bosses, Jumping Puzzles, event completions, we can add resource gathering to it as well. Event completion went from 4 on a specific map to 10 anywhere making it less annoying. Resource Gathering is also not bound to map, worst case is being required to use a certain tool type.

Are you forced to do the dailies before you're allowed to do anything else? You're not forced to do what the game says, you get rewarded if you finish the dailies, you're not prevented from ignoring the dailies and playing the game. If you don't feel like logging in if you don't get immediately rewarded for just doing that you don't like playing the game and only logged in for the rewards and now that you have to actually play you don't play at all.

Dailies were so much better when I could waste 10 minutes on waiting for the veteran to spawn or hopelessly look at LFG for the daily dungeon seeing noone doing it or joining my group. The good memories of going to a map to do 4 events and just go to WvW or PvP instead, because I've already spent 10 minutes without doing 4, due to events being scarce and ending quick due to population. Those times were so much better than now when I could finish my dailies in 1-5 minutes pretty much all the time, like, yesterday I had 3 combos, 3 dodges, a Vista and an Elite enemy, that took me a massive 1 minute including the time spent loading. Most of the junk dailies are gone with WV, except for Activity.

That's the exchange for a much easier Skyscale acquisition. People wanted easier Skyscale, Anet gave them an easier Skyscale without actively making the older method - the way the majority got theirs - a waste. EDIT: Also, who would have thought that after Anet gives in and gives people the option to get the Skyscale easier people would be complaining that their easier method doesn't give them everything people who did the - now - harder method have?

The previous system also told you what to do, you can just say the only reason you logged in was the free rewards and now with having to play a bit you have no intention to log in.

I was laughing for a solid minute, it being a 5 slot bag made it even better.

That's what happens when you talk down story bosses, they'll send you hatemail for insulting them.

I got sent a bag like 2 weeks ago by a guy on Gandara saying this is the closest thing to a condom they can send me.

You don't call them classic or vanilla, that's it. If I play WoW Classic, but the game has all the QoL features of Retail it isn't classic anymore, it's just the current version, but without the expansions. I really want a list of MMOs that have classic servers with all the QoL features added over the years. However, what you're looking for is the current core game of GW2 that is free to play. It has all the content you want in your classic servers with all the QoL features.

That ain't vanilla or classic mate.

And you're here complaining a story boss is taking you 30 minutes.

It also took me about 3 months to get the Skyscale if I count from the time I created my account.

You don't need to check the wiki for it. Anet shouldn't have to put 17 different warnings because some people can't read. Lack the basic thought of looking at what you're about to buy? Your issue if it turns out to be something other than what you wanted, especially if it's literally described IN GAME.

I killed myself trying to glide 4 times so far, only played WvW today for an hour so far. Tried to pull people off on Hills as Necro, ended up falling to my death with them, twice jumped to my death from Hill Garri trying to glide above the shrines and, you guessed it, Red Keep on EB. I also counted 11 people dying in EB after falling to their death. Fun.

The last time there were more engaging story bosses people complained that the Mordremoth and Balthazar boss fights are too difficult and complex. The last time I had to bash a boss for like 30 minutes I was fighting 10m HP Golem with a MM core necro out of boredom to see how long it took with random mismatched gear, so, a fight taking that long is a sign that you might want to make sure you're not wearing your gear you got from leveling up.

Perfect example as to why you read first before buying. Hovering over the Guaranteed Dye unlock in the Weekly Black Lion Supply Package says "Consuming this will unlock one random dye color in your wardrboe that you do not already have". If you click on the preview it will say "This item will unlock one of the following wardrobe options. Previously Unlocked wardrobe items are removed from the list." Read before you buy, don't blame Anet for not willing to read what you're about to buy. It is explained clearly that you're getting only one dye.

It isn't up to interpetation. If the Commander asks people joining their squad to know mechanics you can't interpet it as knowing how to do a headstand or how to do roast beef. If I need to know how to drive to drive a car I won't get in the car and say "I can ride a motorbike". Asking people to know mechanics isn't the same as asking them to be experienced, if you kill a boss once you'll know the mechanics. If you're experienced then you've done the fight multiple times. With the start of this part you've just given a reason as to why there are groups asking for LI or KP. They don't know whether you're good or not, but seeing that the person has let's say 50 Deimos KP they can be sure that said person is experienced, because 50KP is atleast 10 kills, but it's mostly atleast double.

Not like most of the complaining early on was about how unrewarding "and grindy" WV was, then when people actually decided to do the math on the rewards(excluding some of the mediocre rewards) the complaints quickly died down once people realized it's more rewarding. Then after the first few weeks people realized that you can casually finish all weeklies in 2-3 hours with dailies as quick as like 5 minutes.

Is that majority in the room with us?

I only really liked Marksmanship, because that was the only Hunter that was similiar to my GW1 and GW2 Ranger playstyle. The weird thing about the melee complaint about Ranger is that other than dagger, sword, GS and hammer every option Ranger has is ranged, even Staff, which rivals bows and rifles in terms of range. Ranger themed so much after WoW's Hunter it shares skills, skill types, traitlines, weapons and profession mechanics with Ranger from GW1.

Well, they pop up often, because there is a - much - smaller pool of minidungeons the game chooses from, only 4 when a minidungeon pops up. Tears of Itlaocol also isn't included in the dailies/weeklies of WV, so, that's why we never see it. If it's Vasburg it's free daily for me, since I do it daily for the Jade Runestone. Spirit Vestibule is instant skip. Vexa's, Long Way is in the "eh, I'll do it" category.

You wouldn't have to do the SW JP each week on core considering there are 20 PvE JPs in the core game that can pop up in WV.

I vividly remember PINK also having squad messages about donations and two people porting with PINK tag also got mad at people not donating gold for Swashbuckler's Cove and Demongrub Pits each.

"What is the full meaning of ranger? ranger. /ˈreɪn·dʒər/ a person whose job is to care for or protect a forest, park, or public lands. (Definition of ranger from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary © Cambridge University Press)." Took me 5 seconds to Google it. The best part about the Longbow or no Longbow problem with Ranger is that running Longbow instead of Hammer on Soulbeast is like 1k less damage only, in most cases that won't even be noticable.

Even in the previous system you got dailies in areas you haven't been to just because you own HoT and/or PoF, the old system even guaranteed that you'd have different dailies compared to people who own no expansions(edit: only 1-2) There was no community in most of the old dailies, because the ones that required multiple people were SKIPPED. Why do dungeon when I can go to WvW and spend 25 Badges, or just kill the Harpy/Warg/Wurm? "<Waypoint> event" also doesn't have a huge community aspect, because the 4 event dailies were also often just skipped. There is also not a lot of community aspect to everyone going up to the same Vista or people running around at Atholma for Daily Desert Forager. Daily Adventure was also something people loved to skip. People complain about having to take part in activities for daily, when activities are also pretty much community features. There are still bounties, jumping puzzles, minidungeons, Fractals and Strikes in WV, just like there was in the previous system. The most "community feel" daily in previous system was daily veteran in WvW, because we often had 10 people from 3 different sides waiting around on DBL at the Warg's spawn location.
