When Peitha first made a dig about the Commander not liking that people weren't worshipping the ground they walk on, I was like "since when did the Commander become such an arrogant self-absorbed a**hole?" Now I realize--this was a dig at the playerbase. The Commander has been dropped into a situation where they are completely out of their depth, more so than ever before. Everyone around them is more knowledgeable and more experienced, and many of them are hundreds of years older and have seen conflicts on a greater scale than the Commander has. Even so, the Commander has been bestowed with a title that has repeatedly been expressed to have great meaning and significance. If, in the face of it all, your Commander still thinks everyone should defer to them, and thinks they're above the title of Wayfinder just because they're so far up their own a** that they can't see the big picture, well.... they aren't much of a hero after all. I'm also underwhelmed by the story right now, but one thing I'm hoping is for the Commander to remain small in the face of grander conflicts. It's refreshing, and frankly it seems like the Commander in general could use the dose of humble pie.

I'm trying to craft the last piece of WvW legendary armor for my light armor set, and put in the Gift of Battle, 15 Mystic Clovers, the Condensed Gift of Might and the Condensed Gift of Magic, and got the Gift of Prosperity instead of the Gift of WAR Prosperity. It's just not possible that I could have put in a Gift of Craftsmanship in instead, because I did not have one. I don't even have the provisioners tokens to have bought one. I thought at first that maybe the Gift of War Prosperity and the Gift of Prosperity got merged together, but when I put the Gift of Prosperity I got into the Mystic Forge, it doesn't have any recipes available with my ascended arm precursor or the Gift of War Dedication. This sucks because I'm now out my Gift of Battle AND all the mats to make the Condensed Gifts. Is there anything that can be done about this? If I submit a bug report through the game, will anyone try to fix this? I wish I had screenshots, but there was no way I'd guess this was going to happen.
