and here I thought this was dead and buried..... /sigh The most common thread among those who got banned in the reddit post were usually those who do every waypoint in core tyria in a very small amount of time. So if you are looking to rapidfire unlocking the whole world for your alt account, you may just have to accept the possibility of being banned. If you are banned you can appeal. The amount of people affected by this is going to be very small comparative to the game's population. It's also naive to think Anet would layout exactly how their detection system works, otherwise botter will adjust their programs to prevent detection. Does it suck for thoe who want to get their alt account every wp in 30 minutes? Yeah. Does it really matter to the game as a whole? Not really, let's be honest. How many people have extra alt accounts and even play them enough to need that on them too? If you just want to play with your friend and taxi him from A to B you got nothing to worry about most likely. If you trying to fast track a map completion... then maybe but again there's trail packs for that that would probably be more effective anyway.

Pretty much this lol

We have one person and one person only to blame for this, along with their extreme addiction to ecto gambling (only thing I can imagine he's doing with this): Lyhr He even swindles people who can use the mystic forge to craft things out of 10 ectos for each item. Presents an unlimited clover product that is also an ecto sink. Too many people are doing stuff through Lyhr so he can flush them down in a game of Sandstorm with his Facet of Degeneracy. People like the Primeval Steward, Miyani, my man Rojan the Penitent are fair and non-addicted vendors of legendary components. Hell even the Jade Vault Keeper gives you 4 chests just for talking to her weekly. The only solution is to organize a demonstration and boycott against Lyhr. DO NOT GIVE HIM ANY MORE ECTOS SO HE CAN LINE HIS OWN POCKETS!

Always a difference between getting liquid gold, and something you need to use to craft to liquidate into gold. If you connect the dots to what you get to what you can use them for, Soto Metas are super profitable.

This friend is worth a tantrum on the forums, but not buying a new account? When you can get a bundle of the expansions for cheap? Idk man, people have given you good explanations and you just say "don't care". The solution most are proposing will happen much much quicker than the server infrastructure work it would take

The real flex items will be stuff like HOPE, the accessories, gen 3 skins etc. which for the most part I prefer anyway 😁

Another day another misinterpretation of the design manifesto. To be fair, 10+ years later it's easy to not know/remember the MMO landscape at the time of release. The pain points GW2 went to tackle: 1. A subscription fee combined with time wasting mechanics. Crafting in GW2 compared to Vanilla WoW? Having to constantly back track to "" turn in quests 2. The gear treadmill where it was designed to be extremely difficult to ever fully gear your character for optimal stats. 3. Combined with 2, a role system that made it either tough or expensive to change roles on the fly based on group needs. 4. Max level being a long term goal for new characters versus an experience of leveling how you choose and extremely fast As others have said, they never said there would be no grind. Just that it wouldn't impact power, max stat gear, roles can be interchangeable, there's not one class that has to heal because others can't, and max level is easy to obtain. With that in mind, Halloween doesn't break anything here. It falls right in line

This comes up when Lhyr is literally driving up the cost of ectos from people dumping them into his ectos gambling fund 😂 (Nah fr he selling unlimited clovers if you have tons of ectos)
