This seems to be a popular request for players coming from other MMOs where dueling is more prevalent. In my opinion, many player come to GW2 because it doesn't have this feature/option in open world. A quick forums search on open world dueling might give some indication as to the lack of desire for such. I have seen where it has been advised to find dueling in WvW, but from what I gather that is a far more limited sub-set of players who enjoy engaging in that type of play. Which, again, may be why many players in GW2 don't want it. /shrug

In what format? I run sword/dagger on my core ranger main in OWPvE and have no issues with it. Coupled with the tiger pet F2, it's not terribly bad for melee. Works pretty well with my untamed, too, in melee swapping back and forth from leashed to unleashed.

This is a highly subjective question. Some voices I can't stand; others I appreciate more. Two examples above mention Asura, but for me I cannot stand them. You may just have to figure this one out on your own. /shrug

I don't disagree that having better tutorials in the starter maps isn't a bad idea. 😉

I prefer resources be spent elsewhere, especially in lieu of housing (which, for me, is as useless as fishing)

There are many new players who insta-boost to 80 just to get to the latest content. They have no clue on these things.

Yeah, it was asked for way back after PoF was released. They haven't changed them there so I doubt that they will. At least, moving forward to EoD, they made them more in line with what the players here on the forum were requesting.

Must be where the money is being made. WvW doesn't appear to have enough incentive for Anet to put more resources into it.

I think that is exactly what many wanted if I recall the threads that were being tossed about back then.

When someone named "Mentor [character name]" shows up in map chat, it should be rather apparent that the player is there to help. I can't think that it would take a lot of understanding.

One could argue that every MMO would want players spending as much time as possible in their MMO and no others.

Maybe my point wasn't clear. Yes, mail carriers are seen by other players, so having different skins for those makes more sense than having different skins for a bot which only the player him/herself sees.

Mail carriers can be seen by everyone whereas the jade bot is only seen by the player. If it were seen by all, the skins make more sense to me. /shrug Yeah. I bought it. 😁

If you're referring to untamed it is because when the expansion was announced, the ranger forum was covered with threads requesting the GW1 bunny thumper build. It's yet another case of not being careful for what one wishes for with Anet.

My concern would be these bosses being overtuned which may well dissaude new players. These bosses are in starter zones for a reason.

Took me a lot less than a year to tell it wasn't for me.

Yeah, I think that was back when they revised the guild systems and gutted small guilds.

I'm not so sure it has popularity now due to mounts. Isn't more likely due to the rewards structure?

Screen shot, then email to Support via ticket.

That's a player problem, not a game design issue.

So, penalize those players who prefer to purchase content with gems by jacking up the price of the expac?

I'm glad there is no integration. I would hate for content to be gated behind this activity.

Are they? New players (and probably a lot of veterans) may not know that so if someone whispered a player from a non-GM account which was labeled as G-M or such, then a maliciously intended person might be able to get account information from someone. It's best, on Anet's part, to err on the side of caution.

Yep. And this has been echoed in many previous threads on this topic.
