You mean like pushing a personal agenda that many don't like and has been discussed many times in the past and then starting a new thread revisiting all the old pros and cons.???

Did you even look at the many multiple discussions that have been going on for years about housing before revisiting this topic???????

Looks like they didn't do what players really wanted with regards turning off/hiding other players effects. Wish they would actually listen.

I don't want to see any other players effects in boss battles, period. (PVE)

Can't believe how slow this patch is going!!!!!!!!! Anet, add some more hamsters!

I look at it differently. They keep dropping stuff that one can't use or sell to a vendor. E.G. I don't need a repair canister to be rewarded ( They aren't needed and I have a perm, also no longer needed are should be removed), Recipes that are already known and the drop for them no longer required, experience boosts, magic boosts ( all my toons are level 80 and I have enough to use for numerous new toons that I can make). There are too many examples where the drops are redundant, useless, already acquired and can't be sold to a vendor and on and on. There should be a check (if/than statement?) that stops these useless drops or make it so everything can be sold to a vendor for pocket change or broken down. So ya I agree with the premise, but maybe not greedy only a refusal by Anet to refuse to make changes that would stop useless drops.

"the drops are bad" The one part of the dissertation that is true.

LOOT BOX Gambling!!! Needs some legislation! 🤣

It seems that it's an overwhelming NO to the suggestion and doesn't need to drag on any further.

Absolutely true. That being said, it was bad idea then and it still is. Time to get rid of the cap is long overdue!!!!!!

Don't feel bad. I have been playing since GW1 and I can tell I am lost about all the things to do most of the time in this game.. LOL. BTW,You can always wait for a sale. You missed a good sale in Jan that included everything.

Making things into damage sponges is possibly the worst and brain dead way to make things more difficult

Anets response to this will be to make Jormag into a damage sponge with invulnerability triggered every few seconds. The Frozen Maw boss is a prime example. Leave it alone, if you think don't like the difficulty (or lack or) go play the bosses or raid.

But I want to keep my toons visuals but turn off others.

For free, or if you pay, it really doesn't matter. Bad is still bad regardless of the price.

Yep many options left out (purposely?)by OP to skew answered to an intended result.

So? They fixed and added many things as well as working on the engine ( DX11 to be completed in April) since it was introduced. No reason they won't continue to. And other instances have checkpoints as mentioned by Randulf. including what he said about the company refusing to discuss the issues (any issues for that matter). The game isn't the issue.

Even worse, a few dozen e-mails that suggest a location where absolutely NOTHING happens except lots of skiffs and skimmers with players wondering why nothing is happening. Spam and Scam?????

Report and move on.

I am speculating, but it capable of doing things that are not allowed. Just having it running and it gets detected by Anet while playing may violate TOS even if only using the one key, one action. I would directly ask support specifically about the program for a yea or nay from Anet before risking it.

I guess I am not 'people' and I am not waiting for new raids. I would be content if they abandoned the idea of raids and strikes completely.

Nah, they are just being stingy (as usual?)

One could easily search and read all the threads that have discussed this issue to death.

Regardless of who is more accurate about how many WPs are contested or not, I have always thought contested WPs of any kind were just a bad idea from day 1.
