Lws3,4 and 5, bring other contents and QoL purchases, also has great maps. Lws4 brings 2 new mounts too.
All of these lW seasons are like a mini expansions, its one thing to give it for free but they even give it as cheaper prices, individually episodes too.
It's fair to either wait for the discount,or get it for free, or pay full price.
I paid for lws4 cause it was worth it (the story alone I loved it).

Failed expansion according to a few haters like you. There are many who enjoy the new expansions and visit them daily to farm events and nodes.
It seems to me that you only look for ways to mindless farms in expansions? If so good for you, I guess.
But comparing with its predecessors, EoD is the worst. It didn't bring any QoL changes in game, fishing is mainly for achievement or farming, like random ore nodes with rng, Skiff is used like a floating log for platform in middle of water, jade bot is glorified revive orb+teleport to a friend, turtle is a good combat mount, only good if two players not much for solo players.
The story was worst, the great dragon soo won wasn't even shown in a great light, the people of cantha were worried about their political problem mroe than their dragon (which gave them cool tech and made them rich)disappearing. Atleast the script could have been done better.
Maps are awesome but too big for small players, there should've been a lot of npcs atleast, would've made new kaieng look like an actual city instead of a dead town.
Unlike pof/hot you can skip this expansion and don't miss much.

They might add it in the next living world season, probably might also add a bench to control jade bot as a mystery.

Why not just get wishes from Spearmarshal's Plea? You will still get a few silvers from the drops, not to mention minis and trade contracts. Be a hero, and give the minis away for free in areas such as Dininity's Reach or Lion's Arch.
those minis are worth nothing, you can get them for few bronze in tp. The one which is worth anything is rare to get and not worth time spending, there's already a ton of gambling in game.

The legendary weapon kill graphics of gen 3 still happens if i don't currently have gen 3 equipped, but it is in the exchange weapon slot. Is it supposed to happen? Or just a bug?

Once every line is full in core or any mastery track, there's no need to switch between the lines, all you need is to use your MPs.
Meaning there's no more training, you already trained in all the lines.
Edit - I don't know if this works, but I think there's an option in settings to turn of ingame "help", don't know if it's for tutorial or just all help. Try it. Or just check yt for a video on all the setting options.

I don't know about you, but I showed my critisim towards EoD after beta release and after main release.
Half people took it positively, the other half didn't.

I don't want jade bot rescue protocol to be the default choice when I'm reviving myself. Would be better to have a choice to call jade bot instead or use the normal method.
Sometimes a random mob downs me and the only way to revive myself is using jade bot (if it's not on cool down), I don't want to waste it or have to wait mins to use it again for bigger mob fights.

Nope, no supply drop either. Since steam just dropped it would be a loss if they give discounts. Probably wait for November sales I guess.

Yes but most of the confuse face spam, in many cases during firey forum debates is a serious misrepresentation of how many people actually are disagreeing or confused, due to alt account spam.
I have to see this as a baseless argument, mainly for the fact that there maybe people who are petty but not all of them are, especially in a gaming forum, which not many care much about.
I could also claim that you're all just the same person with different alts complaining about emojis, lol.

pretty useless
Not really, people will get to know how many people agree or disagree on a topic, they can keep reading the comments if they're interested in it or save time and leave.

You really a projecting a lot onto me here/trying to put me into some strawman default opposition box for simply disagreeing.
As I stated above, disagreement imo holds no value without the what someone disagrees with and for which reasons. That's all.
I don't mind disagreement, nor am I bothered by the reaction system in a personal way. The only thing that bothers me about it is that it runs contrary to having an actual discussion, which is what a forum is for.
I'm here because I enjoy (constructive) disagreement and the growth opportunity it represents. But if I make a post comprised out of 4 arguments about a topic and get nothing but a confused reaction in response.. okay, now what?
What's the point, where does it lead? Why did the person disagree, and with what?
I'm not going to shout into the void asking for the anonymous person to explain their reaction as you suggest. The very point of communication and a forum is putting those reactions into words in the first place - otherwise why engage to begin with.
A downvote is just "I disagree with you or what I think you represent in principle, but I'm either too lazy to or incapable of reasoning against your points" at best. That's not a productive feature to conversation.
Who actually cares about weighing up up&downvotes to judge a post, rather than reading it and judging the content's themselves - and how is that healthy and valuable to begin with?
Do you ever see a post with 3 Likes and 5 Confused in anonymous reactions of which you don't know the intent or reasoning and think, clearly this person is wrong and I don't need to read the post?
The only point of such a system is to get a general idea of community sentiment - and just upvotes fulfil that function all the same.
If person A argues one side and person B another, and person B generally receives vastly more upvotes for their posts in the argument than person A, that's enough to gauge community sentiment. How is that not enough of an "opposition factor" for you? What does the same or similar ratio in reverse of downvotes add?
Trying to brand people who aren't too keen on Emoji reactions substituting actual arguments as being ignorant about the very nature of disagreement, or being spoiled as children is a pretty silly reach.
But I'm fine with agreeing to disagree here. As I said in post one, to each their own.
Well when you put it like that I can understand your perspective and have to agree on few points and also disagree on few others.
I agree that in forums it's meant to have meaningful discussions rather than random emojis, I want that too since it would help all of us to understand why people disagree.
But I gotta disagree that we need to disregard emojis, like I said before it shows a metric of people who really care about your topic, if you removed them then the forum would look more dead since there will be views but not much replies. Atleast you would know if people agree/disagree. People do care about it, they don't always have time to go through each and every comment to see if people are actually ok or not ok with it.
And you're partially right on the part about a post having 2:3 on likes/dislikes, though I seen people not ignore it and I did the same too, can't say the same about comments tho.
P.s. my previous reply wasn't just meant for you but others who kept complaining about the doenvotes not the emojis itself.

Well our ancestors are kittens, that's why Hindus belive we have 9 reincarnations. Hehe.

I agree on the positive feedback side - like the old GW2 forum which just had a "Thumbs up" and "Helpful".
It solves that issue entirely already as people can just thumbs up the disagreement to another post they disagreed with, rather than having to add their own, cluttering the thread - without any of the downsides of degrading conversations and opening up trolling and harassment opportunities.
A system that's redundant in function with opportunity for harm, is imo a bad system.
You people are seriously trying to be ignorant of the opposition factor, omfg. Why do you always brand it as harassment or trolling , why can't you people get over the fact that disagreement is part of an everyday life, its like you guys were never said "No" as a kid.
When a lot of people disagree with you and you don't like it,you can chose to ignore it or put on a strong case and ask for explanation, there's gonna be atleast a person who will get back to you.
When there only up votes, then you won't know if you're right or wrong, because there's not just for/against (black/white) on an opinion as I said before there shades of grey. You can in many posts that they get few upvotes but no down votes ,meaning some people agree with it, some don't have an opinion of it. So that post becomes an opinion for minority of players not the entire player base. And if you see a post with many down votes and less up votes, it becomes an opinion of a bigger player base. You won't know the difference if the down votes are removed.

Humanity managed for millennia without thumbs up and thumbs down buttons on every thought they have. If anything is delusional, it's thinking people need to know who approves and disapproves of every thought they have at all times, en masse.
Makes me think of that phrase that goes around, something like "it's none of your business what other people think of you." As in, it's really not healthy to be obsessing over other people's thoughts about you all the time. You really don't need that information. No one does. If you are trying to be part of a community, you need a baseline sense of whether you are staying mostly in line with the norms of that community. If you are trying to be friends with someone, you need to know if you are on good terms with them. Stuff like that. You don't need to know every time someone is frustrated with you and wants to say something behind your back to vent without requiring a confrontation, but downvote systems basically encourage people to express the stuff they'd normally express in private, but in public and passive-aggressively. If it was the kind of thing you want to say to someone's face and confront them about, you wouldn't need a reaction button for it. That's why people call it passive-aggressive.
As reddit has shown in great detail and constantly, almost no one uses the downvote as a way of cleaning up stuff that is off-topic or doesn't contribute to the discussion. They use it to say they disagree or don't like what the person said. Which circles back around to, no one needs to know that from every other passer-by. I would say the same about approval reactions. Nobody needs to know who all approves either. It's too much information and it's too lacking in context to be of any use to the person. It just adds noise to spaces that might otherwise have interesting conversation.
You do realise that kitten sapiens survived mainly because they were able to maintain a community or society. And tho they didn't have "thumps up" or "thumps down", people voted in one form or another.
Disagreement is part of a society, you don't have to give kitten about it, but it does play a role. We are not living in a individual based civilization,and just cause people disagree doesn't mean your wrong.
If you don't want people to disagree with you "publicly" then don't post in a public forum. Come on brother, your bubble is too obvious.
And the number of agreements/disagreements will decide whether your opinion is your opinion or a public one, this will help both players and developers.
P.s. yes there are people who downvote out of spite or just in general disagreement with out any base same for up votes, but those percentages are less. So if you get few domnvotes and no replies,you can ignore it.

If I write something positive about Raids/Hardcore content for example, and check the forums the next day to see 50-150 confused reactions spammed on my posts, sometimes going as far back as ~3 years, which no one will ever read anymore anyway - while I personally might find it hilarious that someone is wasting their time on such a thing, I'm fairly certain the intended effect is harassment/trolling.
But even using it as a Downvote, a system which doesn't exist on this board, in lieu of an actual conversation is at best counter productive to what a forum is for.
If I have a bad take on something, I'd rather be told and then have the ability to either learn from it or argue it, depending on validity - and I like to extend that same courtesy to others.
If you just anonymously drop Emojis you imo might as well not participate in the conversation, as nobody gains anything constructive from that - but to each their own.
TL;DR:
The act of disagreement (taking offense, etc.) is entirely pointless in of itself, without the "with what, how and why". Missing that is the annoying part. You can disagree with me all day as long as you can communicate it intelligibly - I might even learn something.
On one point I agree that some people disagree on a topic without any base but only because it goes against theirs.
But on the other, if you drop an opinion in a public forum (not your known group of friends/family), there's 3 intakes on it, either people agree with you, or disagree or introduce an better alternative.
Example, if you posted that "skyscale should be sold as gem store item", and instead of reading 7+ lines of every comment to understand if people agree or disagree with you, emojis play that part easily. You will get how many agree with you or disagree with you, it's not just for your benefit but for others having the same thoughts.
And there's gonna be explanations for it on the replies, those who "down voted" might read those comments and if they agree with they are gonna drop a like/thank emoji, this way people don't have to repeat it.
And there's always players repeating the same question every time, instead of browsing for it in forums and eventually people get tired of explaining it.

It's just less than 10 coppers and the mini are just npcs who new players won't know unless they played lws4, not worth it.
