I'll give this a shot, too. If anyone else is successful as the OP was, please post.

@Azuriusz.6724Unfortunately, we're only allowed to make one request... period. :/ Sorry, man.
-
Ah, here are the notes for the patch
Nope. Nothing special in terms of the current subject.

I saw them this morning. Where I am now, it's afternoon.I just said I wasn't around when they updated in that same post just on the last page.There was no patch 20 minutes ago.Or if there was, I didn't know.Yes, there was a new build just an hour ago.Right now, it's 1:50 pm my time.The post you linked was posted at 10:22 am my time.The patch that was just released has nothing to do with the gemstore.You're not listening.I. Said. That. I. Was. Not. On. Earlier. At in I was not near the computer 3 hours ago. So. I. Went. And. Check. Less. Than. An. Hour. Ago. Because NOW I am at the computer.So I went and check and went "Oh, so the update this morning on the Gem Store didn't do a kitten thing about the stupid Mount problem."I don't know what part of that you're having troubles understanding.I guess the trouble I'm misunderstanding is now: which patch are you referring to? Because I loaded up GW2 this morning, there was no patch, but the items in the post you linked were all there in the gemstore.
And then there was a patch just an hour or so ago. Nothing changed. So, which one are you referring to?

The patch that was just released has nothing to do with the gemstore.

@"Gaile Gray.6029" I'm becoming concerned. I know this is something you guys need to consider closely, but there is massive backlash from multiple sites, Jim Sterling, and the community about the Mount Licenses.
Here, someone showed what a perfect mount license would be like.
I don't condone the current practice. And it seems like there's more to the outrage than just the Mount RNG. I know you guys recently upped the rewards for PoF events in the last patch, but people still feel like they are unrewarding. It seems all these things adding up (apparently also some things with HoT, which were addressed, but some players feel Anet is making the same mistakes with PoF), the current RNG Mount License is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Again, I don't condone this practice, but I don't want to see my favorite MMO lost due to this choice (I am exaggerating here, but the backlash is painful). I beg that some action be taken very soon; before the end of this week. :(

@"Pretty Pixie.8603" said:Is predatory gem store behaviour really a good idea in an MMO that needs a stable player base to remain profitable? I do not think so. People that don't like gambling will feel resentful. People that bought a few contracts and didn't get anything they liked will be resentful. They will share their resentment with their friends, on the forums, on reddit, potentially scaring off future customers.
Youtube has several GW2 personalities already responding to this, generally not in a positive way. Even Jim Sterling, a noted anti-micro transactions crusader jumped on board and covered the issue. This can have a negative effect on future player growth, because people remember the negative way longer than the positive. GW2 is not a multiplayer shooter with a new iteration every year, allowing your marketing department to rehype their public for their new 'game'. These practices will stick to the GW2 name like tar.
In the past many people have posted how they buy gems to support Anet and the game, give positive word of mouth, and are generally willing to overlook minor issues like the loot boxes, since a lot of the negatives from those loot boxes were mitigated due to being able to buy the skins through the TP, etc. You are now undermining that good will with this predatory behaviour. Will you make an initial killing? No doubt.
But I predict you're also damaging the goodwill that's out there, and the positive word of mouth both from players, and from positive Youtube vids. I'm personally stopping with buying gems. That will prevent any urge to gamble (which makes me feel dirty, really) until these adoption contracts are changed to an outright buy per skin.

@TheQuickFox.3826 said:Is there a list of the available new mount skins somewhere? (Without buying a mount adoption license just to see what is there)
You can see them in the Mount Tab on the Hero Panel. Can't preview new dyes, though, it preview with whatever dyes you already have on your current mount.

Indeed, therapy was required, otherwise too many Pact members were barking up the wrong tree.

More! More jokes! Apple cider on me!

Actually, all female asura PCs will say that sometimes when drawing their weapons, or entering battle.

@StinVec.3621 said:@Miss Lana.5276 said:I'm trying to remove or edit my post, as it's a "Self-fulfilled Desire", but I can't seem to be able to do so.Heya. One thing you could do is to edit your original desire post (gear icon in top right of your post) and add an "Edit: Self-fulfilled" at the start. :) You could also highlight all of the original text and then hit the "Strikethrough" button to also show it as not being a desire post any longer.That's the thing. I can change the text but it won't let me save the changes. That's why I said "removeor edit...unable to do so" -

I also love the part in LS2 where he's still under Anise's leash and Canach realizes how good she is at a Memser and says something like: "I wonder if you really are as old as you loo--"
Anise shuts him down before finishing. XD

"What part of secret society do you not understand?!""Demmi's been kidnapped by pirates! Cool! I mean... interesting.""And I have a lovely set of... apples."
I'm sure you guys can guess who said those quotes. :p
Female Asura, drawing weapons/entering battle: "You're dumb. You'll die, and leave a dumb corpse!"Edit: d-u-m-b is a cuss word?

Ha ha! Thanks. Considering it was the first suggestion, it's the first one most people will see, hence all the thumbs ups. XD
And I love your ideas. Weaver themed weapon sets, nice. I'd so go for a fire/lightning combo since that's my most used combo on my Weaver. And dat Ancient armor. GIMME! :D
