Samnang.1879 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 as someone who is a minimalist, every time i see/receive an item that has no point whatsoever, it triggers something deep inside of me that i can't explain. you could say this box is like box o' fun, but at least the latter has a purpose (i.e. to make legendary pistol)... but aviator's memory box... what is hte point of this???? exactly?i feel like sometimes anet is like my mom... someone who collects random pots and pans and crooks and wahtever,, that dont serve any purpose but to fill the house with utter junks. :/opinions?

ReaverKane.7598 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's all and none of the above... It's a TOY It's something created to have fun... Initially it wasn't even for sale, just a April fool's joke. Everyone was running around like this for a day or so.People loved it so much that eventually Arena Net turned it into a toy, and people buy it. It's a fun joke. And a way for Arena Net to get some gems spent, and a way for players to "troll" others. Just like the Bobblehead Laboratory, the boxes of fun, the Water Baloon Bucket, the cauldron, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it remained an April's FOol Joke. Now every time I open cache in TD i get turned into Kate Winslet... and it's so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaverKane.7598 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Look before you interact?Trolls will troll regardless of the Aviator box or not.The most common trolls use Black Lion NPCs actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @Samnang.1879 That implies more than one. You only asked what the point of it is. You sure you just didn't misunderstand the difference between 'serial' and 'serious'?Regardless of that, it's a toy item from April Fools that went over like a lead brick back-in-the-day. Don't draw any conclusions from them. Some people use them as entertainment for their guild events or gatherings to entertain their in-game guests.Nothing more.

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 @Samnang.1879 Um . . . not to be the Grammar police, but asking our opinions isn't a question in addition to the original question. It's kind of implied when you ask the original question. Like this: What's your opinion on the point of the Aviator's Memory Box?Either way, sure. Asked and answered.

Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It was just for fun. It was the joke for a 1st of April day, and I found it pretty good. I can recall the good laughing we had with friends.Now regarding the problem OP is talking about: It is not only the aviator box. There are 100 of cases like that in the game, some intentional, some not. For example, currently, in Divinity Reach home, if you have the oyster node and you have done ally with quaggans in your personal storyline, quaggans at your home are standing ON the oyster. To farm it then needs to first achieve to select the oyster, otherwise, you keep talking to quaggans... =)And there are soooooooooooooo many of that type, plus of course the trolls who who get fun at putting merchant, BL trader or whatever else on nodes, mostly of course on rich veins... Spoiling straight gathering....Best trick is "next ally". Sometimes, to use mouse pointer and try to catch a piece of the object works. But it can be difficult.As for fixing the root cause: It is not possible. Either it is not intentional, and Anet has - by far - higher priorities than to fix such stuff, or that's trolls who feel proud of their little jokes and get even more fun when they see people complaining about. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as movement toys (carpet, broom etc), balloons and kites, fireworks etc. It has no other function, but that one function it has is enough for many people.

So much this.I don’t have an Aviator Box, I do have a BobbleHead Laboratory though, which is the same concept of toy. It’s just a fun thing to use if/when you see them, like nostalgia. It’s the same reason I own the SAB Duskk Boom boxes.You can easily avoid using them (chests are bigger targets than these interactables, so click on the chest to prioritise them), or reuse the Aviator box to disable the effect again. No harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pifil.5193 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This forum is full of people with differing views and opinions. If you, or anyone else, says "I like x" there will be those who respond with "I hate x".The way they do that depends on the subject, the responder and the way you phrase your posts. If someone were to say "I not an idiot so I like x" then they'd get different responses than if they just said "I like x", for example.In short, maybe it's the way you're saying things?

People who like it or understand why other people like it will come to try and explain and those who love it will come to defend it. That's just how the internet goes.
