Hopefully lots. There's a reason you see so many, because it looks awesome.

You won't be banned for it.

But hopefully this post will serve as a warning for other guilds not to recruit you.

Doesn't matter if they were "mean" or "insensitive". You chose to join a guild with childish people and as a so called co-leader it should have been your responsibility to make sure that never happened in the first place, yet instead you decided to steal money and do a runner instead of even leaving with dignity.

If you volunteered at a non profit organisation and even donated some of your own money then decided to run off with cash from the organisation because other people were being mean to you, that is theft and you would face the appropriate punishment.

They might not have been the best guild members, but with such an action neither are you.

Sadly, I got an in-game mail from a gold seller today with a list of legendaries they had for sell. They claimed they were the sole agent for the best equipment in game.

Yes, I reported it immediately.


ANet, you may want to consider making legendaries account bound. Not necessarily retroactively, but any new ones as of a certain date.

Just saying.

trebuchet a rabbit

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we drained all the influence and layed down all the queued banners before we left.  One last FU to him.  That may have been immature for 40 year olds to do, but it felt great.

Everyone who got banned for this exploit will file in here over the next few days and try to tell us how they weren't trying to exploit and they only wanted to fix the economy.  Or end world hunger.  I have read several of these posts and many seem to have some fuzzy logic about how Anet wanted backpieces to be easier to get so they thought that this recipe was added to do that.  Maybe someday when a too good to be true thing presents itself to someone, they will think for 2 seconds before they dive headfirst into it and end up getting banned.


Haters gonna hate.

'Sploiters gonna sploit.

Anet gonna ban.

Citadel of Flames path 3 is pretty hard without proper communication.
Arah path 1 is hard if your team sucks at Giganticus Lupicus.
Arah path 4 is... well, you'll have to see for yourself.

To quote that Anet post:

The bold part is important I think to prevent taking this out of context. If they banned everyone who made a few ectos off this then I would agree that that's harsh. However they only banned those who made significant use of the exploit and made a profit thus messing with the economy.

I wouldn't have perma-banned them though, they really need a better penalty system. First strike is a warning for those who think they're doing no harm, second strike to show they mean business and the third strike you're out.

If you would like to post videos, please do so in the video section of the site. The actual forums are reserved for discussion, not self promotion. Thanks!

the game isn't P2W, its pay for convenience.  I can buy 4000 gems and trade them in for 50g, or I can spend 2 weeks farming AC to get the same amount of gold.  there is nothing in the gem store that helps in PvE content other than rez orbs and repair kits (maybe some boosters, but I have plenty of them from other parts of the game), and honestly I don't know anyone who even uses boosters all the time or even rez orbs or repair canisters to say that people are actually using them that often.

from a PvE aspect, the game is easy enough already that having these items isn't really necessary at all.  I have over 20 repair canisters in my bank that I've gotten just through opening black lion chests with keys I've gotten through leveling alts and dailies etc, not to mention the amount of unused boosters I have just sitting there because I don't see any use for them overall.

basically, buying gems for gold is just the lazy person's way around doing some easy content for an hour a day to make gold.  the gem store itself offers nothing in my mind that is a direct payment towards winning the game.  the boosters and other cons from the gem store are in no way worth it overall until you get into content that crosses the line from fun to just stupidly hard for no reason (imo).  if you have enough money to spend on gems to buy all the gold needed for a legendary, then by all means go right ahead.

if people didn't feel entitled to everything and didn't cry about not getting it instantly, then we wouldn't even be having this discussion anyways.

Really, to what extent? I plan to do tons of PvE myself and really enjoy all aspects of the game. Sure, most people will gravitate more towards playstyles I like. I will play WvW more often than other things. But we are all still on the same server. Nonetheless, what about people earning money? They'll need to be in PvE. What if there's a queue? They'll need to be in PvE. I think we'll see plenty of movement back and forth, and I expect a lot of the PvE players to get into the whole server pride deal.

And, lol @ another jab at casuals. I'm a casual, dude. Casuals are not people who avoid WvW, nor are all PvE players casuals, there are some really hardcore PvE players out there.

If anything, WvW is the epitome of casual PvP.

You know they'll have more just to tease you

i still can't decide if you are ignorant, delibratly misunderstanding things or genuinly believe that you understand the situation better than almost every body else.

FREE transfers on launch means there is no bill to foot, and the problem appears to only be in yours and a few others minds

as to the post your responding to; its saying the solution is AT WORST a paid transfer compared to an apparent attempt to change the whole server system which was being suggestted as a solution to this "problem"

as to your seconed response i can't even work out what you think you are "breaking" to anyone there

and in your case lethality, based on the volume and random negativity of your posts i don't care if i sounded rude there

On the other side, people like me, with small guilds or those who just want to play alone are perfectly fine with server caps, no queing, and certainly don't give a shit to whatever problems one or two zerg guilds matters could have because of their bad planning, I like what ANet did here and I'm sure I'm not the only one in this position, I don't want to wait to play, and I'm happy I won't so hurray for no queing.
