it's complicated as Monsanto's methods have changed  over the years. Originally the "infertility" was just strengthening of the seed coating. The seeds would be incapable of spiting if they germinated and no plant could grow. The seeds sold to farmers were just normal seeds that had been mechanically degraded so that they were once again capable of splitting.

When these GMO crops started appearing in the fields of farmers that did not pay for the seeds it made them look like they had collected up the previous years crops and then mechanically altered the seeds themselves (which was actually happening in some cases)

But these are living organisms we are talking about! They have mutations, the seeds from several years earlier may have degraded naturally from the weather or any number of other causes.

But if you are the judge who would you believe? The uneducated farmer or the Genetic Engineer who is telling you that is impossible.

But yeah Monsanto is pretty bad. Even now many employers in that field will not give you work if they heard that you worked for them or so I have been told

No

They just need to increase the drop rates of everything worth having and stop making the game into a stereotypical stat grinder

I am also of the opinion that weapon swapping is a cheap mechanic in GW2. In GW1 weapon swapping was a counter move to your situation or your enemy's actions for example using a low energy set for "energy hiding" when a mesmer is e-denying you.

In GW2 the mechanic is cheapened in that >80% of the time weapon swapping is just something you do to give you another row of cooldowns to blow "For max DPS lols"

The only time weapon swapping is as meaningful as GW1 is if you are playing a thief IE see initiative


Now what they could/should have done is instead of putting a cool-down on weapon swapping itself weapon swapping should have always been available; but the process of swapping prevents you from using skills for three seconds as you ready your new weapon. That way it would actually be a strategic choice that may actually lower your DPS if you use it like an idiot

Ask him if the current stat variety on ascended gear is going to continue to be the "gold standard" for gear while other distributions continue to be second rate/alternative/non supported or downright prestige (I am looking at you Passiflora Jewelery)

Actually deploying the siege will de-stealth you. Holding the siege in your hands and using the targeting circle does not.

I can attest to this as I have done it
