@Rubi Bayer.8493 Please bring back the Zhaitaffy Gobbler. It has only been available for purchase once and that was 2 years ago

I mean it's bad enough that they create artificial scarcity for reasons that are still beyond my understanding (not like people would stop buying said items if they were always available and buy them more if they go on discount) but having items literally not available for multiple years is just really stupid. i really do hope they don't "forget" about it this year again but so far it's not looking good. by every year you mean exactly once before? >.<

I didn't really get to test out the system too much yet but it seems that you can't join on non-full maps while being in a queue. I think that is something that might be worth changing at least. From what i could tell in order to join any map while queuing you first have to leave the queue you are in and i think that can be improved. I'm not sure if in some way that's what OP meant but I agree they should rework the queues to work like wvw where you can still join on maps as long as they aren't full. The obvious downside to the current system being that you lose your spot in the queue if you have to leave the queue, switch maps and then requeue.

If I understand you right you basically are suggesting randomized map queues so even people who join late have a chance to join the instance. I think that might be nice for said people because even with really long map queue they still could join on that map but it's really unfair for the people who have already waited for a long time. In the end in this scenario 5 people are still gonna miss out it's just a question of who that is and i do think the people who have waited for longer should have the advantage.

Apparently

Having a spot reserved for a while if you dc would be a useful improvement as well imo but it doesn't relate to this update at all. I think overall this has been a much requested and welcome change and I don't see how wanting more features makes the previous one less valid. Even if we never get what you have requested that's never been a feature so far so I don't see how we are entitled to that because pve queues exist now. As far as I'm concerned - thanks anet one of the best QoL features in recent years. The join world feature was super clunky and stopped people from playing the game and focus on mashing that join button. We can pretend like everything was fine before but you literally couldn't even fight while queuing because being in combat disabled the option to join worlds and hitting that join button repeatedly only to see an error message was just frustrating

And where in this queue would your spot be exactly? While everyone else is waiting which position do you get? Do you get to jump in ahead of everyone else? Are you going to be at the very back? If it's the latter then yeah you still have the old system. You can join once everyone else went through the queue and there's still a spot that opened up because now you don't have to queue at all. It honestly makes no sense to give people an option to revert to the old system. If you see flaws I think you should elaborate instead of just stating there are some

I mean fair enough if you like them. I don't mind the pants design either but I just think players should be given the choice to use the pants or not

The design is really nice but why do they come with pants? Please separate those into the appropriate leg armor section instead of enforcing pants for boots

Crafting costs aren't the real costs. In fact I would argue that some gen 2 weapons take a lot longer to get than a gen 3 one and if they were for sale they'd cost a lot more than others. As I have stated before the reasonable way to find out the price of a legendary is by looking at their "Current Buyers" section. The current value for a gen 3 seems to be around 2-2.1k gold.

Why finally? I have always said that the facets are the problem and that gen 2 is similar in price from the aurene facet. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I just don't think because a luxury good has a certain price means that it's a fair one. The other problem is that a lot of the items aren't really particularly helpful. Are they expecting the average player to do 19200 echovald or kaineng metas to get the runestones? I mean i think I'm really good at grinding but even for me that's a bit much, i'll be honest. The materials required are really awkward and require you to go out of your way to farm very specific content - something that goes against my so far perceived game design of gw. You won't get jade runestones from just playing the game. You won't get memories of aurene from just playing the game. You can go do 1600 Dragon's end metas, sure but i would argue doing over 20k metas to get some facets for the legendaries you've already paid for is unreasonable.

Again I'm sorry if you misunderstood but nobody said it was. Even if they were 100 times the amount of gold required there would still be someone who could afford that. All I said is that getting all the facets is a real goal for people and it was implement very unreasonably

Right well i guess agree to disagree. Personally I don't need reasons to pad my playtime and I think there are plenty of things to do and long term goals to have that don't require the facets to be part of it

Yeah but the problem isn't the price of the legendary. It's the price of the facets. If you don't care about those then i guess good for you but for anyone who does: They are super expensive and they really shouldn't be
