You seem to be under the misconception that just because you started the lfg you're somehow the party leader. Thing is, there's no party leader so anyone and everyone have equal rights. When I run my daily fractals it's almost always completely random who goes to set the next fractal, and even though I usually form the group I'm just as happy that others run up and set the dial. So I'm actually very much against what you're saying; I think people should be encouraged to use the thingy. If anything needs to be" taught" it's the usual order of fractals in a given tier. In t4 it's common practice (at least in EU) to go from highest to lowest, whereas I believe it's common to go from lowest ti highest in lower tiers. Once people know and understand this, it really doesn't matter who sets the dial. Also, if someone should manage to select the wrong one, the team can always opt to return to mistlock and try again.

If you consider yourself the "leader" of the party and want to make sure the fractal selection is the one you want, just wait with clicking until everyone else has clicked, then do a quick check that it's still the correct fractal before you click. That's a quick and easy circumvention.

Which Maguuma do you refer to? There's Maguuma Jungle, Maguuma Wastes, Heart of Maguuma, and Horn of Maguuma - all vastly different

Thanks for that, much appreciated!

It's not been patched. I just now had it happen and had to restart the entire mission. I have previously successfully completed it on several characters so it's definitely not a hard bug. @Rubi Bayer.8493 Any insights into this, Rubi?

So here's a suggestion: put up an lfg in raids (either subgroup is fine) saying "w4 hotjoin, we go when we're full" or something, then let us know how it worked out. Feel free to pick other wing if you like 🙂

In group content you won't get oneshot as much as you think, as long as you know the encounter well enough to avoid the earth-shattering mistakes. The healers usually do an excellent job at keeping people alive - that is, after all, one of their main tasks 🙂

A quick and easy way to get rid of (most) ads for sellers is to type -sell in the search field.

This request seems to pop up every once in a while, and the assertion is always that there are so many players in Brazil that they need/deserve a localization. Has anyone ever actually shown that this assertion has any merit, or is it just an unsubstantiated claim?

I got news for you: NOTHING in this game is a real commodity; they're all virtual. Now that that's out of the way, here's how Anet explained how gems work: At launch, Anet set up a pool of gems - it's not known how many they were, but let's say 10M. When people buy gems for RL money, this generates gems in their account, effectively increasing the number of gems existing in the game. When people buy things for gems, this removes gems from them, effectively lowering the amount of gems in the game. When a player uses gems to buy gold, the gems are put in the pool of gems, thus lowering the value of gems in the pool. When a player uses gold to buy gems, these are bought from the pool, thus increasing the value of the gems. Now, could Anet add gems to the pool, thus lowering the cost of gems? Yes, of course they could, but they said they wouldn't and to the best of my knowledge, this hasn't happened. Back at launch, you could buy gems for gold at about 1g/400gems or so, right now it's about 150+g/400gems and it's been a lot higher.

Autoreply: "Dear <player name>. Thank you for your report regarding another player's conduct. Yout report has been revieweved and appropriate action has been taken." How's that? Or, they could just simply state that they will not discuss the outcome of a report with the reporter. Oh wait... 😄

This seems like a really good idea. I would suggest a filtering option where you can turn mail on/off from friends list, guild members, and others.

An analogy: My brother was born 3 years before me, it's not fair that he got to do all the fun things 3 years before me.

You get the mastery point after completing 8 out of the 12 listed achievements, so you will most likely have gotten that MP a while ago.

Not sure if it's helpful or not, but you can check in the windows log app to see what happened. When I have this kind of crash-without-a-crash it's almost always ntdll.dll that's the issue.
