[Elitism - Mass Discussion Thread]

@"Trevor Boyer.6524" said:My good friend, you have still failed to notice the multiple posts I have made, pointing out that my discussion was about the time efficiency of Raid Meta vs. General Fractal Meta. There is not a single aspect of my original discussion that had anything to do with discussing the term "Elitism" or it's definition or if it was fair or unfair to refer to something as "Elitist". Furthermore, your posts indicate that you have not GOOGLED the term "Elitism" on your own accord and certainly did not watch the youtube video that I posted, to explain it to you. If you did and still did not notice how accurate my usage of the term was, you are either:

• (A) Hard headed or
• (B) Trolling

Due to the inevitable answer being one of the above two, this will be my last response to you.

I fail to see how it's not related when you use the word in the title of your own damn thread. The reason people argue semantics is because it helps root out misunderstanding so that everyone is on the same page. Your arguments are of an entirely subjective and anecdotal nature, which only makes the need to do this even greater to allow for proper discussion.

Merely dismissing others with petty insults while they are trying to explain differences between various concepts makes you look ignorant. Your thread title was needlessly inflammatory, and the personal experience you provide just makes it sound like you're complaining in the same fashion.

[Two-Seater Mounts? Why Not?]

@Embered.5089 said:It would be great for me and my nonexistent lover, but I'm not sure that ANet's coding would allow for that. Especially with the space on mounts. People say that the mounts are sized to our character's size, but I swear that my large charr is going to be the end of my raptor.

It's based on the size slider during character creation, not general character model size. Ie; a max size asura will have the same raptor a max size charr would.

[[Expansion #3 and beyond] What's the next expansion seller for you?]

Blood Legion Homelands for more charr lore pls. We got Sylvari & Asura stuff with HoT, Human lore with PoF, and Norn lore isn't super interesting to me

[Which class would you recommend to someone just starting off and would like to focus mostly on PvE?]

Warrior or Guardian. They both have access to a lot of tools and weapons that aren't too terribly complicated. Be sure to at least level one or two characters to 80 naturally first before using the boosts to learn the game better before you dive headlong in

[Official Mount Adoption Feedback Thread [merged]]

The biggest caveat between the mount boxes and regular BLCs is that you can easily farm keys by doing map exploration and your weekly lvl 10 story it's reasonable enough to get 4-6 keys a month and put those toward opening chests, but with the mounts, you're forced to use gemstore conversion rates at a much steeper cost if you don't want to gamble. It's like they went one step in opposite directions for the mount boxes: one forward with having them separate from the nightmare that is BLCs with no dupes, and one back for forcing all those skins to be RNG instead of being allowed to buy what you want.

I assume the shoulder scarf is a winter holiday item, so we'll probably see it around late December. When it was available in 2014 (just the statistics I could find off the cuff), it was put into the store on the 22nd of December.

[[Poll] Weapon for the next Revenant Elite Specialization]

@Ryouzanpaku.1273 said:GS for sure.Would love to see some unorthodox implementation though - maybe mind controlled GS levitating next to the revenant as mid range (450-600) weapon...

Make it like a mix between guardian spirit sword and a ventari's tablet for "ranged" melee at the expense of not having any cleave directly in front of you if you don't keep it close.
