  1. The problem (in my opinion) is not having to run around to collect loot from chests once Claw is defeated. It takes way too much time to complete the southern meta event chain, then wait 15 more minutes for the cache champions to be defeated (or not), then push the north meta events, go all the way through the frost citadel. It can take up to 2-2,5 hours. Many people are fed up with the grinding nature of the achievements in the latest Icebrood Saga episodes, especially those that have mastery points locked behind them. Even myself, maxed the last mastery just last night, because I was avoiding playing in the map. You did a great job back then, splitting the pre-events from the main meta events in Verdant Brink, Auric Basin and Tangled Depths. Slightly made Dragon Stand faster as well. The same can be done now, in a rather easy and non-gamebreaking manner: War Supplies! Split the southern and northern meta events and put them on fixed time schedule, bihourly I guess. But for the northern meta to even begin, have players donate X amount of War Supplies to a NPC, otherwise the event will not begin. At least we'll have a reason to use War Supplies this way.
  2. Completing the Retribution story step (i.e. Battle of Claw Island, revisited), does NOT properly reward a Black Lion Key like it should, currently; it's bugged. I tried it on two different characters and did not receive a key. One character was created 10 days ago. The other 3 years ago, both are of different race and different profession. Both chose to side with the Vigil, if that helps identify the cause of the bug at all.
  3. I don't mean any disrespect, but when I read "I'd feel safer if blocking system worked properly", all I can say is this: Are you really here to chill and play a game to escape the problems of real life? Why do you even need to block other players? I keep my block list empty, if someone is a worthless person to you, why would you be irked by their words and actions? Leave them unblocked and ignore them, it'll hurt them more if they receive no attention.And a small tip: You can filter the chat channels as well, be in a party with your friends and create a new chat channel that only shows party (and perhaps guild) channels. No /whispers, no /say, no /map channel, no /emotes will be visible to you. Whoever seeks to annoy you, should only make you laugh at their time wasted on such ill-mannered efforts.
  4. Save all account credentials in a notepad file and copy/paste from there to login with each. Since you feel confident and secure enough, go with that method.I'm not supporting the change they made in any way; was also making use of it. And their perception of security is void anyway, all you need is an authenticator app, and to authorize your IP address for each account via the website or official launcher just ONCE.
  5. There are several issues that came up with the release of the Mount Stables. The following lines are a collection of comments and suggestions I have heard from friends, guild members or people in map chats: They were released really very soon after the first mount skin release, not even a whole month passed before the Spooky mount skins were released. It's understandable that people really wanted to see mount skins, but flooding them with 30 of them at once definitely doesn't help. I bet there are way too many disappointed players who wish they hadn't spent those 20 dollars/euros to buy the spooky skins, myself included. Can we even ask for a refund, I wonder?The skins came in the form of RNG model, ultimately forcing a player to purchase up to 30 licenses if they are unlucky enough to not get that one particular skin they want for that specific mount. It's always hated by any gaming community, to involve real-money with gambling. If it was anything with in-game currencies, there wouldn't be any complaints at all. The licenses should allow the choice of a specified skin. Or at least allow the choice of a specified mount, then give a random skin for it. Let's be honest, no one really uses the Skimmer unless required (damaging field on the ground, hover over water, etc.); other mounts are more widely used.The skins come at a heavily expensive price, even for one individual skin. 5 dollars/euros for one mount skin is really a lot. I know players in my guild who received help from other guild members to even purchase the PoF expansion. The gems price has been too expensive since launch, and that price would only be justified if there were ways to earn gems in-game, apart from the 5K AP milestone chests. I was so sad to see people wanting to give up on GW2 and seek entertainment elsewhere. Such "marketing" moves repel the community.There are no other methods of acquiring glider and mount skins in-game, through achievements, collections, scavenger hunts, or simply purchasing them with in-game currencies. I am not suggesting that the same skins available in the gem store should also be obtainable in-game. But some other ones could be. And some gem store ones could also be. There are dozens of armor and weapon skins that be unlocked in the wardrobe just by playing the game. Why not have some skins for gliders, mounts, outfits to unlock just by playing the game? Some people will be pleased with just having those, some will want to also unlock skins from the gem store, some will not bother unlocking anything because skins is not their thing. With this skin pack release you only targeted players who "can afford" to purchase them. The company sure needs to make money, but this crossed the line by far. A balance needs to be brought to both sides.Apart from the RNG model in this release, you also added the 30-license pack for a cheaper price, and made it available for only 7 days. I am sorry but... you really cannot hide your greed for money this way. It's evident that the path you've taken with the gem store does not leave a lot of players pleased. In the past you used to release new items that were purchasable both invididually but as well as a bundle, for a cheaper price. Lately we see new additions coming only as a bundle, starting from certain outfits being exclusive to a 2000 gems bundle, then glider+backpack combo bundles-only, leading up to the Spooky mount skins being only a bundle and not sold separately. Selling items individually guarantees more freedom to choose and ultimately more players buying exactly what they want/need, creating a bigger money profit.Every time you released something new in the gem store, you always let players have a "taste" of it, by allowing a free purchase per account, for 0 gems. Why did we not get this now? And mind you, provided the licenses were divided on a per-mount basis, we should be allowed to get a free license for a random skin per mount. Now THAT would keep almost everyone pleased, and motivate them to buy more licenses if they didn't get the skin they wanted. Sometimes it's worth sacrificing a portion of the intended profit to keep the customers satisfied. Give them a bite to taste, and eventually they'll buy a whole slice of the cake, if not the whole cake itself.Worth mentioning that you released new mount skins when a critical bug regarding the camera when mounted has not been fixed in over 3 weeks, has been going on even since the Halloween event was launched. Do you consider this acceptable? I, we.. do not.Last but not least, among this chaos of 30 new RNG-based mount skins, you also released a Jackal skin worth... 2000 gems. No, just no. No matter how much work has been put on it, just no. I watched a video presentation of this Reforged Warhound skin, really still no. No skin is worth 25 dollars/euros. You do realise that's almost the same price as the expansion itself cost? Halve its price, if not more than that, and refund the difference to those who were naive enough (sorry guys, but you are) to already purchase it.I think you've reached a point where you need to humbly apologise to the community and compensate the players who have been supporting you all these years. Please, do not allow greed to destroy the game we loved -and still love, for now- so much.
  6. Are you actually aware that there's been an extremely annoying and critical bug in which the camera freezes upon using a mount? It doesn't happen to everyone, but does happen to several players for sure. The camera doesn't move when you move with your mount. It takes its sweet time to properly load the mount model and teleport the camera to your location. Until that happens you must rely on the minimap to move around or go by foot. So here's what they did today. Apart from the disgusting way they presented the new mount skins to the community, oh yes you guessed correctly. They released new mount skins but did NOT fix that bug. Pay for skins but hey, sorry you can't use your mount properly!
