[What if elite specs were quest/achievement based rather than hero points?]

Did you see how it ended when anet locked turtle behind a simple nm strike mission? Casual players started to cry they couldn't complete it, flooding forum with their rant theads, I wouldn't like to see that anymore.

[The " Pointed Ears " package is a horror show.]

Let's be honest, this package was made only to milk elf fans (and elves are notoriously just humans with pointed ears, not charr or asura).

I think that was changed in a previous patch but I can't remember when.

The only downside is lower level gear market may get impacted as demand goes down...maybe. But overall, would be a great and welcome change. 

That market has no sense to exist, it's just there for new players who still don't know how the game work (and they won't be affected by this change because they surely have no access to legendary armor yet). 

That's because every seasoned player knows that it's better to wait lvl 80 before spending money to propery gear a character. Sticking to use the gear dropped, given by leveling up or by doing personal story is more than enough to safely reach lvl 80.

"Pure" pve armour? Can you explain where in raids you are fighting other players?

As a raid armor owner, I assure you I fought more players (flames) in raid than pvp xD

[Infusions should also be purchased with currencies instead of only being a rare drop]

Sure but set the price to 100k map currency and 1000g. That will be fair.

[What would be the next mount?]

It's not about the species, it's about the purpose, what could next mount's purpose possibly be? I really can't think of anything which isn't already covered by an existing mount. 

[Thank You For The Free Mount Skin]

First choice, which mount? I chose Skyscale because it is the skin I use most.

Second choice, which Skyscale skin? Most were just recolour or part of a set, I preferred something more unique, there were only 2 Broad-Horn Bull or Venomous Greathorn, I chose the latter because I liked it more.

I don't know, may be because I'm sad that I get verbally abused and I want to rant a bit, or may be I really shouldn't make this post or delete it because apparently people dislike reading this.

I don't dislike your post, you were right but I really suggest you to develop a harder skin: in every online game there are always a few assholes who will try to harass you and no matter what, that won't change anytime soon. 

So when they start to verbally abuse you, either report and block if you are in a hurry, or, if you have time to waste, just answer them back (which is IMO way more satisfying).

I don't think so, simple means exactly quick, or at least more quickly than following a guide. If not, it means it's not simple enough for OP.

I mean, if you aren't feeling engaged with it and just want to get it over with, it makes perfect sense to look up a walkthrough in this situation. It would be odd if it was specifically a puzzle game, but it's not. Some people like its puzzles, but it's first and foremost and MMORPG.

If a puzzle is really so simple and boring, as OP claims, it takes more time to open google to search for a walkthrough than just doing it regularly.

[Joon's Mansion is the Worst]

So now "having to watch a walkthrough because a puzzle is too hard for me" has become "having to watch a walkthrough because a puzzle is too boring for me"...ok, sure I...believe you... 

You never cease to surprise me, this is exactly like the guys who blame lag for getting destroyed in pvp.

Whats the point in having another easy CM ? Legit its supposed to be a CHALLENGE mode and not another easy mode. The game already has more than enough easy encounter. If you cant get the title thats good, not everyone is supposed to have every title in the game. Or do you also complain about it being to hard to get "Best of the Best" title from PvP ?

IF you really care about getting the CM title then you will improve as a player if you cannot beat the CM within the first few hours. And if you dont want to improve as a player, then dont complain about content being too hard. Because there are people on the other side of the spectrum who want actual challenging content. ANet already killed raids so at least have the "hardcore" players have some kind of content that is challenging for a bit and not free for everyone who clicks their skills with their mouse.

Call me toxic if you want, but you know im right. A challenge mode should be challenging for a reason, exclusivity is something that this game misses and i would hope that at least this CM brings something close to exclusivity (untill people start to sell the title).

They aren't easy CMs, they are fine CMs. With pugs it's a 50% chance of winning usually.

[Update on the Harvest Temple Strike Mission Challenge Mode]

Minister Li CM is already too difficult (compared to Mai Trin and Ankka which are fine for CMs IMO), don't make the next one even more difficult please.
