Yep, same here. Both the Decorated Casket and the Eternal Flame are missing and I bought and used all 9 recipe books.

That's what I was thinking too. I have almost 700 minis and there is no way I want all of them running around my homestead. They'd be everywhere and would be running into (or worse, through) all the decorations. A display of all of them would take a lot of space. So a selection (one we can choose ourselves) seems a far better idea. Mounts are different because the homestead shows all mounts, except it's the skin your character is using. If it would be all mount skins then again I would be in trouble because I have a lot of them. And they're a lot bigger and harder to decorate around. The homestead is, after all, mainly for decorating and for that you need lots of empty space. I don't see ANet filling it up with all of our shinies, unless it's optional. Maybe some people would like it to be more of a menagerie than a homestead. I'm not opposed to that idea myself, but it would have to be a different area and not the homestead. And while I'd love for them to walk around (and our other characters too; makes the area feel more alive) I have a feeling ANet deliberately chose not to do that because of the combination of fixed pathing and decorations that could be literally anywhere. Like I mentioned with the minis, having them walk around would result in either collisions with or walking through decorations. I don't think adding new programming (reacting to the environment when moving around and walking around on their own, which both mounts and minis aren't programmed for at the moment) is worth the investment.

You're funny. I'm not ashamed to be wrong because there is no shame in that. It's funny you associate being wrong with shame, though. Funny, and sad that this is what you've been taught. Also, in this case neither of us was wrong ("us" being Sobx and me). Because of 👇 You mean someone who has never used the Internet and is completely oblivious about one of the most basic principles: the link? It's literally 2 clicks, nothing more. It also doesn't matter which of the 2 Drakkar Hoards contains the armor piece, because when you partake in the event you get them both anyway. Also, if I manually enter Drakkar's Hoard on the GW2 Wiki page, I end up on the correct page, namely the one that lists the Raven Ceremonial Hood as a possible drop. Beats me how someone ended up on the wrong page, unless they entered a faulty search query.

Not really. In your epistle you create the confusion yourself by manually looking up Drakkar's Hoard instead of clicking the link to it on the armor's page. And then you come to the right page by going back to the armor and clicking the specific link there, which takes you to the right page. Click the link the first time and this confusing situation does not occur. And clicking the link instead of typing the name of the item in a search query is definitely the more logical option. Whether the chest drops more than once or not doesn't matter because they now know where to go to get it, which is what they were looking for to begin with. I agree with Sobx here. There is no confusion but the one you created for your hypothetical situation by adding an illogical action. I assume all MMO players have used the Internet for quite some time and are aware of the basic principle of clicking on a link to get to a specific page.

So? Then don't exchange them for said items. Choose the T3/T4 material bags, or the lodestone bags. If there's nothing valuable available, just wait until the next week. Sounds like a non-issue to me.

Almost every time? What, you try to do it in the same place over and over again? There are a few places where you can't summon the door (like Mistlock Santuary and similar hubs, or Arborstone) but you can summon it practically anywhere else. I've found one place in OW where I couldn't summon it and that was high in the mountains in Drizzlewood Coast, on very uneven ground. Outside of these places I've never had the error message and I've used the door in plenty of maps. Not that I don't agree with you. I also feel you should be able to use those doors in these places, even the hubs (though I can understand it if they want to keep it blocked there). Other than that I have the complete opposite experience of what you've recounted here.

Yes, I know that. But if you and your group kill one wurm, if the other 2 aren't killed the event is still a failure. All 3 need to be killed, and obviously not by the same people. Only the golden chest should give this reward. But it's all hypothetical anyway. ANet will never do this. Us PvE-ers will just have to keep sucking it up and get into WvW if we want our legendaries. I've obtained plenty in the last decade, even though I don't particularly enjoy WvW, but the result is worth it to me so I do it. The only question you need to ask is: is a legendary worth doing WvW for? And if you already have legendaries then you've already answered that question in the affirmative.

I have a problem with this. Why should we need to kill all world bosses, except the Evolved Jungle Wurm? Yeah, killing one head is a fail, not a successful event. If so I want my rewards when any of the other world bosses fail as well. I want to be rewarded for my failures, dammit! 🤣 In all seriousness, have you not read the forum in 10 years or something? So many times people post this and every single time it amounts to nothing. Arguments for, arguments against. And ANet changes nothing because they have no intention to. And all these people who want a GoB in PvE complain because they have made legendaries and had to do WvW. If a WvW-only gift is such a problem, then you won't convince ANet to change it by telling them you're still doing WvW for the GoB. Apparently, no matter how much of a problem some people have with this, they still do what is required and make their legendaries. Hardly a convincing argument. It seems the convenience of legendaries is worth more than the inconvenience of WvW.

Yes to your first suggestion, but a hard no to your second. I have about 75% of mount skins unlocked and 72% of miniatures. That would mean 641 miniatures and 316 mount skins (according to GW2 Efficiency). I do not want my homestead to look like a giant zoo. Where do you leave all these mounts and miniatures anyway? And considering everything has a fixed placement, this will definitely interfere with decorating. I already don't like the placement of the cats. I wanted to put something in that corner of the house, until I realized I would be crushing/obscuring all my cats. So a definite no to 641 miniatures running around my homestead.

Correlation is not causality. The price started going down when they limited MC acquisition, against the expectations of many. How do you explain that then? Hm, maybe the price of MC's rose again because OW legendary armor was released instead of the Wizard's Vault? Nah, that can't factor into it at all. It's totally unrelated... I would love for things to be this simple, but economy rarely is.

Mystic coins were 2G long before the WV was introduced. The Vault is not responsible for the current price. Actually, when MC sources got nerfed everyone (including me) thought they would become more expensive, but actually the opposite happened. The price about halved, to below 1G. Then, when SotO released, MC value went up to 2G again, like it was before. I also don't see any problem with MC's requiring effort to acquire. It hasn't impacted the value of MC's, at least. It's almost as if the game does have sufficient means of acquiring MC's and the changes they implemented haven't affected the value that much, or at all. It makes more sense having to play the game to get rewards than only having to log in to get rewards. It is a game, after all, and meant to be played

Daily Fractals every day gives you enough gold to buy around a dozen mystic coins a day. At that rate you'd be able to craft a legendary every 7-8 days, provided you have all the other materials you need. And if they drop from the daily chests, all the better, right? You aren't supposed to spew out legendaries every day, unless you're a TP baron. I mean, you can, but why risk the burnout?

Even if we get another option for the raid recipes (for which I would have to ask, why?) you still need to do raids to be able to make those recipes into decorations. If you don't do raids there is no point in getting those recipes, no matter where they are available, because you need the trophies you get from the bosses to make the decorations, just like in the guild hall. I agree with the removal of underground decorations. For instance, I have made a gravesite with lots of plants and trees around, but I've placed them so the pots they are in aren't visible and it looks like they naturally grow there instead. As a result, I can't select any of those decorations for removal. If I want to change something I'll probably have to remove the whole lot and start over. I can work with what the homestead offers. I just won't do much with it because a lot of decorations I wanted to use are simply not available yet. So I'll wait until next year. Until then the homestead is merely a farming site (though I am glad we don't have to farm every node separately anymore).

Nikki the Lost in Wizard's Tower sells 10 coins per week. Fractals drop mystic coins. Gold and Diamond tier in WvW gives mystic coins. Fluctuating mass (from the Sentient Singularity) has a chance to drop them too.

That's called spamming. There's no credible reason for answering a long comment in multiple replies.
