Just chiming in. I WAS going to buy this, but 1600 gems? How far up the greed tree would you like to go Arenanet?

As someone that refuses to partake in raids because of the toxic elitism (and other factors) I am really happy to hear about the "emboldened" thing. While I agree they cannot have the same rewards as regular, I do hope you don't make them just a "training" aid with minimal rewards. They will not have the intended effect you think they will if so. I myself (and quite a lot of people I know) would gladly play easy mode raids as long as we are able to make progress towards legendary gear in some or another way.

I get physically ill when people give a game company a free pass when they "communicate" an upcoming fix to a bug that makes the game literally unplayable for people like me. You "thank them"? For what? Are you serious? The bug happens 100% of the time on switching for me and completely removes my ability to play the game in a way I would like to. This is the kind of thing that should have had ALL HANDS on deck to fix it within a couple of days tops, but no, it is obviously related to something with SAB so instead of fixing it, they say nothing for the longest time and then a few days before SAB ends they go with "oh a fix is coming". Sure it is. Who do you think you are fooling? I will repeat again, I have spent more than 15000 hours in your game and have celebrated and defended GW2 everywhere. I can't do it anymore. What has happened to you? It has been a while now that I have been thinking this feels a lot like a "minimum viable product" at the moment. I mean if you are a brand new player, great, you have years of content. If you are an oldie like me it is difficult to look past the obvious cracks... like the exact same festivals that hardly get added to or improved. Despite cries from everywhere to expand SAB you just push out the same thing with new cosmetics every year. Is there no passion anymore? (<--- and don't get me started on EoD, the writing in it is atrocious and borders on juvenile heartstring pulling, trying to make us care about something that has not had any set up. That is a rookie mistake that you learn in Creative Writing 101). I want the old anet back. The one that made Living Story Season 2. (and if you the player are going to go ape on LS2 in trying to defend this nonsense, may I remind you that LS2 did a LOT of exposition to set up the whole story of HoT and Aurene to begin with. EoD has had nothing like that. Soo Won? really?). Yeah I am not going to apologize for ranting, because I AM passionate about this game but I am at the same time extremely bitter about the direction it has gone in.

*rolls eyes*... has it been a month already? So disappointing

So I haven't logged in a week because of this bug... logs in today, bug still there. Really Anet? This is the literal definition of a "showstopping game breaking bug" and I am beginning to regret my decision to buy the expansion (IN BEFORE: I have supported you since 2012 and have put over 15000 hours into this game, so you better believe that I really really love this game, but it is getting hard to do so. IN BEFORE #2: Don't bother white knighting. I have heard every single comeback you could possibly have and my answer to all of them will be "you are wrong"). EDIT: as you can see this is only my second post, so it is obviously serious.
