The entire idea of GW2 being P2W is complete fallacy. No one yet has been able to answer how one "wins" GW2.

None of that is PAY TO WIN. It is BUY TO PLAY. Massive difference. And even so, again I'd have to ask how does one WIN? How does a player, who has purchased content, beat a free account player in winning GW2? Would they have an advantage in competitive play (PvP or WvW)? Absolutely, but they don't win the game.

Perhaps not for you. Since this practice is fairly widespread among games, I'd wager that marketing statistics show them to be more effective than not. /shrug -

It'll probably show up in the next WV season. Save your AA now! -
Expanded Weapon Proficiencies Beta Feedback: Ranger
kharmin.7683 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in Ranger
This goes along with what I mentioned before. I forcibly worked to generate enough to get Force of Nature to kick off, and once it did I was quite underwhelmed with the result for all of the effort. I don't see building around this mechanic either, as it stands now. I'd rather be doing something else than putting so much effort into getting FoN to fire because pretty much anything else would be more beneficial. -
Why are the story quests so effing hard? Why?
kharmin.7683 replied to Spicoli.6807's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Not necessarily. Level 80 boost and then a quick HP train run could do that easily. -
Gem prices are going out of control
kharmin.7683 replied to nellone.5836's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've been able to acquire a LOT more gold through the WV. As a very casual player, I might pick up 3-5 gold per playing session. With WV, and topping out on wizard coin, I end up "buying" gold ... sometimes 10 gold just for completing the daily because there really isn't much in the WV that interests me. -
So, how do you "win" GW2? This game is not P2W. Everyone has equal access to all equipment. It's not like swiping your card grants you items that are exclusive and above the ones that can be obtained in the game. Power creep is also not P2W for the same reason. Everyone has equal access to it. Mounts are not P2W. Everyone, again, has equal access to them. Paying for any of these things only accelerates the rate at which they can be obtained, all of which can be gotten in game anyway. And none of these things will "win" GW2.

PETITION for thiefs, plz delete axes, add new sword off hand.
kharmin.7683 replied to whooot.5784's topic in Thief
After 11 years, this seems a bit naive. Anet is going to push whatever weapons they want regardless of the players' suggestions. -
I hardly play my elementalist toon, but I, too, have focused more on catalyst than any other spec there (actually having some fun with Sw/D generating a lot of fire and using the F3 then F1 sphere). For casual (very!) open world, it does give me more bang for the buck with less button mashing. I agree with the sentiment of going back to core.

Which pets are you guys enjoying the most right now?

OW casual player here, have enjoyed the tiger for a while, but now they've nerfed fury from it so I'm looking at other pets. -
Expanded Weapon Proficiencies: Dual-Wielding Mace Ranger
kharmin.7683 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in Ranger
I felt the same way and I really didn't want M/M (and am still not really in favor of it). To me, that says a lot about the other professions' new expanded weapons. -

It's a marketing tactic. Players get a dopamine hit when they have things to open. It's to encourage players to continue playing. -
Idea for total mastery points
kharmin.7683 replied to teuffel.4769's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Is there an award for claiming all of the titles? -

You already have a purpose to collect them all. Your own satisfaction. There's no real need to show that off. -
Why? Because someone cried and complained about it, probably.

Expanded Weapon Proficiencies Beta Feedback: Ranger
kharmin.7683 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in Ranger
Yep. It's a gimmick-y type of thing which should be improved or removed. As I said in my earlier post, it's difficult to obtain and maintain for so little benefit. -
I thought that things like this were put into place to push players to the latest and/or end game content since that is where all of the advertising goes. It's as if Anet feels that new players won't want to engage with the older content, so this is a plan to get them quickly to the new content and hopefully keep them engaged rather than new players being felt left out as they toil through earlier content in order to get all of their spec leveled up. /shrug

No, they said that people could pay for legendary while everyone else is stuck with exotics. They completely ignored the fact that legendary (and ascended) can also be crafted. P2W would mean that legendaries could ONLY be purchased with cash giving those with wallets the advantage that the extra power of those weapons brings. This is not the case since everyone has equal access to legendary (and ascended).
