If I could sell them I would. I keep acquiring them and have too many now.

What's the issue with the current system? Not attacking, just curious.

The problem comes in when you have a harasser in game (or out of game) that follows you. Yea ... kinda had a few of those and yes I do block them but if they follow you to try to keep harassing you then, at least from I can see on my lists, they can still see you. The only good thing is since I have blocked them I don't see stuff from them ... others can thou. All because they followed me.

[What time does Halloween event kickoff tomorrow?]

Areanet is based in Seattle. They normally do updates at 9am their time on a Tuesday. You can use the website TimeAndDate .com to figure out time differences. I use it all the time when trying to figure out online concert start times for South Korea .... oh wait, maybe that's just me :)Monday is just after the weekend, Wednesday is 'hump day', Thursday is almost the weekend and well Friday starts the weekend and so Tuesday it is for updates. It also then gives them at least 4 week days to get bugs out of the system before the weekend.

@Jilora.9524 said:I mean you can easily guess. Halloween. New episode Nov 10-24th. Christmas event . Some rush event. New years event. I don't really need a road map for this time of year. Disappointment if no new episode in Nov but other then that we know what is coming

which only makes it look like the game is on life support, not a good sign.

Actually that is about what happens every Oct to Dec/Jan. Not only is there the Pandemic BUT it is also usually the time that they start taking staggered vacations in the office. I mean they do deserve time with family .... I know most have been spending time with family anyway because of the pandemic BUT it is still the normal time for vacations and it is kinda hard to pivot very fast in an ongoing game.On a different note ... I am looking forward to not only the Mad King but also Wintersday. I enjoy them both very much thank you.

[Worth coming back to?]

There are tons of people still in and tons of new players. BUT for you to decide if it is right for YOU to play again then just jump back in and go for it. A few changes in the last 3 years ... so just try it for yourself

[Mystic Clovers Grab Bag for Sale on the Gem Store?]

I have so many it's amusing ....

[Halloween 2020 - EARLY - please]

Can we PLEASE get Halloween early this year .... been a crappy year and it would be fun to just play around with the Mad King early ....

[Is Guild Wars 2 “cool”?]

I am not afraid of telling anyone anything that I do whether it is games, travel, or concerts. If someone does not like what I play, where I go, or what I listen to is their problem and not mine. I have fun and that is all that matters.

[Do you game without Elite Specializations? Is it possible?]

I maxed them out but have never actually used them ...

[Scooby Doo called, they want their bad guy outfit back...]

I don't collect skins BUT if I did I would so totally get this one. It's amusing and fun.

● Trading post.

It’s Gemstore, not Trading Post. The Trading Post is where you sell your loot for gold/silver.

But a lot of stuff on sale is complete and utter useless, such as a rock for a mini.

Them’s fighting words. I love my Mini Pet Rock.

Gem store, right right.Thanks for that....and lol. You actually bought the mini pet Rock?It does have its charm. It's hilarious, I might add.

Of course I bought it. What sane person could pass up a pet rock with googly eyes‽

Love mine too! Oh yea and the flopping fish ... mini nut here, my other half on the other hand is a mount skin nut so it all balances out I guess.

[What is your opinion about Jormag's gender?]

I am wondering why it matters? male - female - hybrid - who cares? All dragons are manipulative so how far and to what extent will this one go to to get what they want?

[Black Lion chest advanced notice]

We have a Saga coming on the 17th. It will change then.We also have the Halloween festival coming up ... it will change then too.Then there is the Wintersday festival ... guess what? it will change again.Then with the Lunar New Year it will change again.

Basically it will change with every festival and probably with every living story/saga update. It may even change in between all that too. Major updates are usually on a Tuesday so what till after 9am Seattle time on Tuesday, check the update notes to see what is changed. It's what I do to see if I want to open the chests I have.

[UK Officials Say Loot Boxes Are Gambling]

A kid addicted to physical card packs might spend their lunch money on them.Ummm I have seen adults order and buy whole boxes, yes that is plural, of MtG cards when the new expansions come out just in hopes that they get the cards they are looking for. So 'lunch money' is not exactly true. Couple hundred dollars at a time ... yes and more than once.

@"PyrateSilly.4710" said:>I have multiple make-over kit's and any other kit in my bank ... I wish I could sell them when I get them as I NEVER use them so this "having to buy them" is just nuts. It is a want not a need. The same with anything in the Gem Store. Want not need. I wanted full shared inventory slots so I bought them ... when they went on sale. I wanted an extra char slot so I bought it ... on sale. I wanted full bag slots so I bought them. Nothing in the game said I had to have them. Pure want not need.

Yeah, so, what's your point? If I WANT all character-customization options, I HAVE to buy a makeover-kit. With no word did I say i NEED to buy them. I have to have to those options, the hair-styles and colours, the eyes and eye colors, the scars. I have to have them, because I want them. What I don't want is a lecture from you. Are you seriously going to pretend as if you structure your whole gaming experience around needs? Don't make me laugh... As if you've never looked at something that you definitely didn't "need" and thought "I have to have that!"

As a 52 year old female, no I have not. I 'have to' have food to survive. I 'have to' have water to also survive. That's pretty much it. Shelter? It depends on the environment on if that is a necessity or not to survive. Other people? Not really as I am very much a solo traveler. If needed pretty much all I own can fit just in my car if I want to move and travel anywhere with everything. So no. I play because I 'want to' not because I 'need to'. I get things from the gem store because I 'want to' not because I 'need to'.

@"Shep.4026" said:There is however nothing "convenient" about having to buy additional inventory slots for every single character or a makeover-kit with every character slot. Man, do I miss the appearance designer in SWTOR...

[Whats Preventing You From Quitting The Game]

I play because I want to. There is no other reason. If I didn't like it I would not play anymore end of story.To many other things in life to enjoy. Docs say I am not allowed to work so in between gaming (including demoing games at conventions for a company), travel, concerts (you should see my youtube channel, lol, 8 concerts in 7 weeks ...), and now stage managing a show I am having fun. Used to just sit in the house and realized that I was slowly dying that way so I took better control and started getting out there and living more. The only time I don't play is when I do not have my laptop with me like when I went to Europe and backpacked (read wheeled, carry on suitcase) for a month.

[What we got on 30th. Content or not?]

When have you ever known ANet to give every piece of information about what is coming in an announcement? They have always said they don't give everything away and want the players to be surprised about some things. They like that kinda stuff and I am happy with that. I don't want to know everything. I want to discover new things on my own sometimes.

Did that when I did a month long backpacking trip to Europe. Purposely got 'lost' while exploring different cities and countries and found some things that are not 'normal' tourist stuff. But then I have always been told for years that I am just not a person that follows what others do. And that is also why I have been to see over 30 different concerts over the last year across multiple genres. Quite a few people find it hard to fathom that someone could like all the music that I do. I have heard from more than I can count that they only like X genre or only go to see X artist. I just can't do that as there is to much life out there to enjoy.

@PyrateSilly.4710 said:So you want to make it subscription based? No thank you

Do you ever buy gems ?

Why does that matter? It should not matter if I buy gems or not.

When I want to yes BUT sometimes I go a very long time before I get more if there is nothing I want with them.

[Season pass (not subscription) [suggestion]]

So you want to make it subscription based? No thank you

[Are there plans on releasing a roadmap?]

The problem with them releasing anything that says what MIGHT be coming up or what they are seeing about adding is people tend to take that too far and just ASSuME that it means that everything in it is coming up very soon.Been there and done that and they don't want a repeat.

[The Heart of Thorns compensation Package]

Since I collect the Black Lion Vouchers and only use them when I have too many and I actually happen to use and change out my glider then I think the glider was a much better option to get. So thank you ANet for a glider!!

@ZeftheWicked.3076 said:Well that's you. The ppl that actually came there in person - the last moments of stream, where it showed footage of them leaving the room in dead silence - says it all.Have you ever been in a room with one of the big reveals? I have multiple times and no matter how much you like what is said you don't walk out screaming and yelling. Most just walk out and then talk about it afterwards when you have digested what is said. You talk mostly in normal voices.

[Sawg - phone cases]

So are those phone cases going to be only available for iphones OR will you have them for other phones? I don't do apple but I am getting the new Samsung Note 10+ 5G and would LOVE to have a GW2 phone case .....

[What are some things you do when you log on to the game?]

Depends on how much time I have. Sometimes just the daily and farming home if I just have about 30 mins or so. Longer than maybe some WvW and/or PvE stuff. Map completion on alts or maybe work on my legendary that I have slowly been working on since year 3 or so. Maybe the boss train. It all depends on what I feel like at the time.
