Is it really though? WoW doesn't have any. BDO's is barely used by most people other than to gain relevant buffs and minmax progression. Even FF14's implementation is a feature that the vast majority of players consistently ignore other than a passionate niche. I can list a very long line of fairly successful MMOs that have zero player housing,

Hogwash. Making items for a price and selling them for more than it costs to make them has a name. It's called "capitalism". And it is 100% legal. But feel free to call up Sydney Powell on this one. I hear she has time to take the case.

While everyone is posting videos about how great User Created Content is, should I hop on City of Heroes, take a few clips of the Mission Architect system and explain the overwhelming damage it did to the long term growth of the the game? Any UCC beyond simple decorations in an MMO is absolute folly at best.

No where has Anet promised any kind of Living World continuation. They've chosen their words very carefully about any upcoming content and purposefully avoided any reference to "Living World" Ask yourself why. The answer is pretty simple... they are not planning any.

"Hey maybe if I whip up the crowd with inflamatory language and consumerist self-martyring I can wag the dog and make them change the price!!" -OP Probably "lol" -Anet Probably

The real reason is that body blocking requires far more server resources and data transmission to calculate.

Translation: Double XP in WvW and World Boss Rush weeks

TLDR: 3 more months, no new content planned.

The Gen3 legendaries don't need a stack of them, and take far fewer clovers. The majority are crafting the new hotness. Less demand, same supply.

Is toughness aggro really a thing? I seem to remember a developer dispelling this at some point saying that only certain raid bosses (and even then not all of them) actually factored toughness into it's threat table. Admit I could be wrong on this one but... Open World, Dungeons, Fractals I have never once noticed a difference in aggro mechanics. I am no stranger to running things like Trailblazers or Celestial, while also running full damage gear. I suppose some science is in order.

Yes but... Your Berserker, Untamed, Virtuoso, Soulbeast, Renegade, Catalyst, Vindicator, Deadeye, Holosmith, Chronomancer and Firebrand entries are in the incorrect dual class spots. And technically Warrior/Warrior or Ranger/Ranger would be core warrior and core ranger.

That's a funny way of saying "I can't do it"

Explain how a new faucet will not drive down the price further (thereby hurting people who used them as income). They are a trade-able resource.

The TP is not time gated. "stuff I don't like"/=Bad design There is a sizable portion of players of this game (one may even venture the majority) who will never make a legendary weapon. For them, the mystic coins were a massive piece of their income. This income stream has been gutted now. All it took was a new generation of legendary weapons that didn't require a stack of them and half the mystic clovers. A year ago people on this forum were screaming bloody murder at Anet for the price when they were hovering around 2g. Now it's less than 25% what they were. I doubt you're going to get a whole lot of reasonable voices joining you leading the charge to drive them down further.

Wouldn't a better solution be to offer the player the opportunity to earn a portable lure/bait merchant usable everywhere, on a moderate cool down....that is gained by say getting CWAMM?

I could care less about the monetization. I recognize the system's value in terms of engagement. I see plenty of people fishing. But this idea that the fishing system is supposed to be some kind of passive gold farm where people need to be doing other things at the same time? Hot garbage.

Sounds like good design to me.

"Asura do not have a last name, instead opting to use job titles, a krewe name, or honorifics to differentiate themselves. Those who choose to take a last name of a style similar to humans are rare and are considered eccentrics, and their surname is often ignored by other asura." https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Asura Asura may absolutely use a last name and be lore-friendly

Power Creep is bad, mkay? If "build variety" =Better gameplay we would all still be playing gw1

10/10 Forum Legalese

Anet doesn't want the headaches in terms of Social Issues and Tech Support that this issue provides. Few MMOs do.

Yeah it's just awful to have your immersion broken. Let me put on my Ascended Aurene T-shirt outfit, jump on my Super Adventure Raptor Mount, equip my shortbow that shoots rainbow unicorns and we can have a long conversation about it while we kill some Choya.

Raids in this game are instanced content. TT takes place in Open World. So.... no.

It wont let you change to diviner's stats because it already is diviner's stats. Your second image shows this.
