Never change, GW2 forums.... never change.

This really is the head scratcher. Make a strike mission so easy that can be solo'ed optional... but make Chalice of Tears and Retrospective Runaaround mandatory?

I'm finding it strange that people are bandwaggoning the "toxic playerbase" comments behind an OP who uses his Twitter to attack other content creators and Arenanet.

This is a false analogy. If a new race had already been announced a second hidden behind an achievement unlock might be a relevant hope.

Where do Twitch and Youtube make any such promises?

You need to watch the video about what the top NA team was/is doing re:gatekeeping the MATs and gizmos. Saying that a small group of players won't do the same in PvE by selling the wins and messing over other teams is 100% copium farming. The audience for this would be much larger and has much more disposable income. As for the rest, I am completely in. Seeing what value the seasonal format did in BDO and PoE was impressive. Bringing something similar to GW can do nothing but good. Something like this could also provide a non-raid PvE path to legendary armour and address the complaints of it's acquisition behind an abandoned game mode without just handing it out for kills on Karka Queen.

It's rare that I disagree with Nike. While I love the idea of seasons and decent rewards for doing a 1-100 run, I think the awarding of an exclusive gizmo would just encourage what we have seen on the PvP scene. This game doesn't need more gatekept exclusive rewards RMT'ed via account sharing ...and that is exactly what would happen.

Both classes you mentioned use GS as a power weapon. This makes Marauder's your best choice is you find zerkers too glassy. Without knowing the rest of your build/gear setup this is about the best advice that can be offered. But... This weapon can be stat and form reset at any point for 1000 unbound magic. Figure out what works best for you. 1k unbound is peanuts. It's not a permanent choice.

While I appreciate the bug fixes immensely, more and more we are hearing phrases such as "with End of Dragons around the corner we just don’t have the time it would take to correct these anytime soon." Isn't a paid expansion the kind of time to expand on features?

An emotional attachment to class fantasy is a failing of yours, not the game.

Out of curiosity... why? It's just a silhouette. Why would you have an emotional reaction like depression to it?

You are purposefully twisting the intent of "play as you want" to suit a context it was never intended for. Why?

Are you trying to tell us that a single player casting a blind on a boss in a meta event, thereby negating an alpha strike on everyone "wouldn't change much"?

Do you really think Open World content needs to be made easier this way?

So replace the 10 man instanced PvE content with 10 man instanced PvE content. Genius. I hear CD Projekt Red is hiring.

Honest question: LW Story instances are balanced around the lowest common denominator. They are balanced to be doable by a player who is improperly geared, with a bad build. They become exponentially worse as a gaming experience the more people you bring, as all parts of the encounter become trivial and less interesting. What is to be gained by investing the resources in a system like this via systems and AI programming?

Here's a video I put together on the topic:

Wow, that's quality packpeddal

It's really strange how your personal narrative over raiding and legendary armour has changed over the past few months. It started with "I Don't raid, no one in my massive guild raids, we are hard gated out of legendary armour" Then it became "I have raided a few times but needed to buy clears for myself and my wife" Then it shifted to "I organized raids for my guild and we were unable, after many attempts to clear escort due to the difficulty, we remain locked out of legendary armour" Then you went back to saying, despite these last two items "No one in my massive guild of casual players does raids and we are locked out of legendary armour" And now finally here you are saying "raids are not hard, I have several boss kills, I just don't think they are fun". You've said that all you wanted was a chance to get the transforming armour, Then weeks later said that the skin on the armour doesn't matter. You've argued this is an issue for casual players when you are clearly among the furthest thing from a casual player on this forum. All while participating in all three game modes with acquisition paths and (if the above post is to be believed) not finding any of them particularly challenging. Have you considered that this level of intellectual dishonesty does your side of this argument more harm than good? Your shifting narrative has caused your voice on this issue to become lost in your own false rhetoric.

Locking Legendary armour acquisition behind pocket raptors shows that Arenanet isn't listening to it's player base. Everyone knows the last actual pocket raptor kill was shortly after HoT's release and not one has been killed since. I run a very large guild of casual players who all spend over 1000 dollars a month on this game and none of us can kill a pocket raptor. What's worse is I have organized guild events to kill Pocket Raptors and they have all resulted in failure. Clearly players like you who are asking that legendary armor continue to be gated behind pocket raptors simply don't want the rest of us to have this amazing armor. STOP MAKING US JUMP THROUGH HOOPS FOR LEGENDARY ARMOUR. THIS SHOULD BE A LOGIN REWARD!

Updates since my last post: Support Builds: Support Scourge Support Tempest Open World/Solo Story Builds: Condi Tempest Celestial Holosmith Power Herald

Of course no casual player ever said that. Actual casual players don't post on the forums. They certainly don't have post counts over 500.

If you tie legendary armour acquisition to the CM of strikes then you don't alleviate the low-effort forum warrior's concerns at all. All you have done is changed the name of the content that these people will not do and changed an adjective for their tired arguments.

I blame the frog.

Making it run on my android tablet would make it an instant buy.
