Playable saltspray dragons, harpies, centaurs, dredge, choya, djinn, and largos when, ANet? e: Joking aside, Tengu and Largos are probably the most "likely" to be considered, but we're not going to get new playable races in GW2. Look forward to Guild Wars 3 in 2035 for that

It'd be a tremendous QoL feature, and I really wish they'd at it as a filter.

Yeah, a podcast is what you gotta use if your pea plant breaks.

If I'm reading correctly I get the frustration - I've played the whole 10 years, but I took a lot of breaks in between and only have like 12k AP. If someone else got 2,000 hours like I have, they should have the opportunity to make as much AP. I get it, it's not "I only just started and I want equal footing" it's "hey, I've played x many hours in 3 years, but there's still achievements I can't get that put other people who've played the same amount of hours in a longer time frame ahead of me." BUT, AP also really doesn't matter at all. Honestly, I didn't even know there was an AP leaderboard until today. Granted, I play incredibly casually (as demonstrated by 2k hours and only 12kAP, I'm sure) but I honestly thought the only person who could know your AP is you. I get that from a completionist stand point it's frustrating to see those greyed out boxes that you'll never be able to get, but honestly if you put the effort and hours into it you're still going to end up with more AP than a lot of players who've been here the entire 10 years. Maybe you won't have the EXACT same as someone who's been here longer but with similar hours played, but you will still be pretty close!

You're being needlessly antagonistic here and I'm not sure why. The point remains that the concept of gay marriages and the fight for them didn't just spring up in the 2000s - It's been an issue all around the world throughout human history. That was the point, that OP stated that the concept gay marriage only came to the cultural zeitgeist roughly 20 years ago. Even on a modern scale this isn't true. Consider the historical examples I've given of gay couples either getting married or trying to get married, regardless of legality, as further proof that it's something that has always been an issue.

There's a lot more evidence that gay couples have been together in history and just dismissing it as a "modern concept" does a great disservice to human history and human rights. You can find scholarly article after scholarly article after scholarly article providing ample evidence of same sex marriages throughout history. It's also rather ridiculous that you and Mykhel seem to insist that only traditional ideas of marriage count, when even today there are multiple different forms of marriage outside of a church blessing. You wouldn't look at a common law couple and say they aren't really married, you wouldn't look at a couple who eloped they aren't really married, you wouldn't tell a couple who just went to the courthouse in quiet that they aren't really married. Why is it different when we discuss in a historical context? I never said that Mykhel was wrong about everything - Just that they've been consistently incorrect on multiple things. Including something that no one else has mentioned yet - It's not Minister Yi, his name is Minister Li. There's no character in the game called Minister Yi. If the OP can't even double check something that small and simple, why should any of us take their words at face value? They've also been consistently wrong on other in game lore despite claiming that they've been playing since launch. I haven't been in the Shiverpeaks in years but I know that the Sons of Svanir will explicitly kill female icebrood because they don't believe women are worthy, and that's because of Jora killing her brother Svanir who was the FIRST icebrood corrupted back in the original Guild Wars. I haven't touched much of the mainline story in years and I know that Caithe and Faolin were always explicitly a couple, not just in a close sisterly bond. There are multiple other LGBT NPCs throughout the story that OP conveniently forgot, as well.

People have been campaigning for equal marriage rights since at least the 1970s in the United States alone. Pedro Díaz and Muño Vandilaz were married in Spain by a priest in 1061. Ann Lister and Ann Walker were married in York in 1843. Same sex marriage was outlawed in Rome in 342 AD by Constantius II imposing Christian doctrine. I'm not sure where you got the idea that gay marriage was a modern concept, or the idea that the fight for marriage equality was a modern concept, but it definitely is not. I'm genuinely baffled at this statement. With how much you've been consistently wrong on in this thread, not just with in-game lore but with real human history, I really, strongly urge you to consider why you're still staunchly defending what you're saying and not taking a step back to analyze anything.

Just FYI you can go to LA for free at any time by going into WvW and then exiting to Lion's Arch. Doesn't 100% fix the high wp cost, but it does halve it.

I can see it being difficult if you have hand/eye coordination issues, but so far I've been really enjoying it. I'm not sure what changes ANet could make to the minigame to make it more accommodating. I would like to see it so that when your catch bar is touching the `fish,` it slows or even pauses progress loss. That's the only frustrating thing to me - When I have the bar almost entirely over the 'fish', but I'm still losing catch progress. There should probably be an actual tutorial, as well, since I don't recall there being one - I just jumped in and figured it out. I've gone fishing ~25 times, only lost one so far. Granted, I've only been fishing in the new maps in Cantha, it does sound like there's a lot of problems with level scaling which is unfortunate. I'm also rather confused at the people claiming there are no other 'mandatory' minigames - There are plenty of story instances where you need to play Simon in some form or another, plenty more map completion instances with simon & puzzles, etc. Minigames are pretty cemented as part of GW2 general gameplay, whether it be for a 'novel' mastery point, grinding for legendaries, or progressing story.

Yeah, been having this issue since yesterday. Launched it two or three times, locked up, restart, launch again. I actually got it working yesterday for a bit, but today I got nowhere. Ran repair, still locking. I'm just glad to know it isn't my computer at this point. Hopefully they fix it soon - I was hoping to play while I had the time off. e: running as admin seems to work, at least for now
