@Josh Davis.7865 This is my very first time posting a reaction to any topic of this game. First of all, I absolutely agree that sending death threats to game devs and calling them to be fired is unacceptable! Those people need to get a life. Second, please review the composition of the design team at the company cuz it seems they are favouring their personal gain rather than balancing everything to be of the same effort and skill level. Third, it is absolutely unacceptable of some of the devs enjoying the critical feedback from the community and ridiculing it. This is exactly where Blizzard started to go downhill. Fourth, i can see from the balance patch where the design philosophy is heading to. It seems that all classes will be able to provide everything (like boons, etc) which is just going to homogenise all classes. The reason why people loved playing certain classes because of a very UNIQUE ability available to them only (like banners, spirits etc). I have characters of all nine professions myself. Now it is absolutely unnecessary for me to ever login to my ranger or warrior again. Fifth, I saw several group sign-ups who were readying themselves for Harvest Temple CM. Almost 95% of the group's had almost the same group composition - 1 Heal Alac Mechanist, 1 Quick Firebrand, 1 Heal Quick Firebrand, 1 Alac Specter and 6 Scourges. This alone shows how bad the balancing in this game is. Lastly, you had told during the EOD balancing that the balance was focused more on the skills of the player rather than their class buffs. But it is actually getting overturned where now players are getting into groups for some of the broken class skills (*cough cough* Firebrand).

Why on earth would ANet make outfits override all the gear effects. There is absolutely no need for that. I crafted my Nightfury shoulders and the effect from that is so cool. But found out the harsh reality that my Grenth's regilia outfit, on which the bat effect would look kitten on, is completely overriding the animations. Hope they can look into this and make it right. PS....... NONE of the outfits have external effects, so there is absolutely no room for animation clash. I'm honestly surprised about why they are having this override.

pressing tab works..... :D alt+ tab was just an accidental find to the solution!

I live in Asia and these gem cards won't work for me due to region locking...... :((((

Im trying the payment through paypal and yes i do have enough money for the purchase. I contacted both my bank and Paypal.... they both were very clear that the issue was not from their end.

I had purchased gems before as late as 15 Nov 2021 which had been successful. But when I'm trying to buy the gems now, its suddenly giving me an error saying, "Payment declined by financial institution". I had raised a ticket about this and they told me the problem was from Paypal's side. I contacted both my bank and paypal and they showed me that they had not blocked any transactions and the issue was not from their end since my previous purchases to same merchant was successful. Due to this I changed my bank and the new bank too has the same issue. To the reply for the ticket, they gave me a disappointing solution to use a credit card rather than solving this. Is anyone else facing this issue??? If so, how did you solve it???? And this has started with arenanet changing its payment merchant recently!
