37 entries for one dungeon.

Eight are people looking for specific professions. The rest that mention professions are people saying what they are. Posting skewed and misrepresented data is not 'proof' of anything.

On that basis I'm going to close this thread. Please feel free to message me if you can come up with a very compelling reason for this thread to be reopened.

gw2 has sold about 3 million times. somehow i doubt a sixth of that will decide to
A. spend laurels on bags (there seem better options out there)
B. sell these mats when they've already spent a laurel on a bag. (if they're already spending a valuable laurel on a bag, they probably want the mats for themselves)

So you don't want to fight anything, you don't want to pay for anything and you don't want to work for anything.

Have you tried not playing?

So you are talking about using a glitch to overcome a challenge...

This is the proper way to address a challenge:

PRACTICE

Meh, I'll bite.

Most people who have serious entitlement issues are presenting their case in a way that makes it incredibly tiresome for others to take them serious. I stopped counting how often I actually had a reply written out, just to delete it again because it would have definitely led to an infraction - but hell, sometimes you wanna falcon-punch people right off their high horses when they come to the board to tell you:

"How *ing stupid Arena Net is.."
How they "Ruined everything!"
or why they got "Tricked!" "Betrayed!" and "Lied!" to.

Then you browse through their threads and in 99 % of the cases, that person just seems to be an utter moron who got banned for a gazillion other things than what he presents you with and so on and so forth.

I know, I know. Being the critical voice is pretty popular on here, measured by the "+1"s those posts usually are showered with, but in a lot of its cases it really doesn't contribute anything to make the game or its community better. I still remember the discussion about how you'll have to slave for a year to finally "unlock" a bag slot or a character slot or any of those rather popular perks that are connected to the cash shop and guess what? It turned out to be incredibly easy to come by those things at the beginning and the prices, if bought with gold, are STILL very accomodating. Guess who came back to those threads to proclaim their hindsight? Not a single one of those breaking hell loose with their entitlement issues. Not - a - single - one.

Just shows that the ones crying the loudest are usually not the ones who decide over a game's commercial success or not, because they'll be gone any way once something or someone doesn't dance to their tune.

I don't see what good it does to have everyone create a good-bye thread because the waypoint costs are just too high to bear. Come on. Seriously? Get the * over yourself and just hit the road in style - nobody wants to hear your bitch ass whining over complete odds and ends.

So yeah, I am thoroughly annoyed by people who are feeling overly entitled. Not because they question everything - but because they bitch about every minute detail, even if they didn't even understand the matter at hand. That's something you notice across all fields of life in current times that I can't eat enough to get me to puke as much over it as I'd want to.

In my opinion, this is the right idea and it isn't as hard as some people are making it out to be.  I'm probably the most dedicated WvW player in my guild and, even at that, I'm a weekend warrior at best.  (I play when and how I want - sometimes that means zerging, sometimes guerrilla strikes, and other times just killing the overgrown grub or doing the jumping puzzles.)

Having said that, when I organize a WvW event within my guild, we're an effective little team.  Why?  Because we're cooperating.  I'm not leading by barking orders.  I'm leading by consensus.  They're partied with me that night because they want to make war and they've agreed to follow my leadership for that purpose.  Sure, it's just a little 5-person team but that's how communities start.  Maybe we start by taking or helping to take a supply camp.  Then we stick around to upgrade and defend it.  Investing ballistae and arrow carts into a supply camp may not be profitable or exciting.  Nontheless, it's rewarding when our little team repels a larger force and it's helpful to other players on our server.

If one little team can hold down a camp, then two little teams could hold down a tower or four little teams could hold down a keep.  And when you have a few camps, towers, and keeps all benefiting from their little teams working in proximity to one another, then those dozen teams are an alliance, whether they're overtly working together or not.

Now, like I said, I'm a weekend warrior.  If I'm in WvW during the week, it's probably to putz around.  But I might put in a few solid hours on a Saturday night.  Is it much?  No.  Is it likely to make a big contribution to the overall score?  No.  But on the other hand, if you want to talk about server pride and community building then appreciating and leveraging the contributions of the weekend warriors is as important as courting the hardcore guilds.  And that pride and community, I think, is likely to promote enjoyment of WvW irrespective of that leaderboard (even while it helps to put up higher scores as a side effect.)

Remember not to throw too much out. At least not enough to really help them, but just enough to keep them in your pockets wanting more. It's the blackgate way!

Are you deliberately trying to make JQ look bad?  I have many friends there who are amongst the most active players in WvW & none of them carry themselves in this manner.  Please consider what you are saying before you post.

Hehe.  Where did you come from?  I was responding to the OP.  You'll do though.  A perfect example of my statement.

I pretty much expected what I got... although I thought there would be karma vendors selling cheap, basic armours for level 80, of rare standard or crappy looking exotics etc.

In response to the elite areas... I'd think that they will add those in the coming new content, or expansions. They were really popular in gw1 so I can't really see why not. Although they'd have to be instanced and separate to any world completion or story quests etc... so pretty much like how a dungeon should be. Large area, tactical fighting, challenging and rewarding. I think of it as parachuting into Berlin in 1940 and trying to fight the way through the city to the HQ... whereas dungeons are more like entering a shed to kill the one big nasty spider at the back, with lots of tools and mowers in your way

Yeah, I was talking about Guild Wars 1. And no... Orr isn't really an elite area. I've fought through the mobs to get through to skill challenges, etc, but it's more annoying than fun. I'd just like an area that I could work on for a while to get something fairly cool. But each and every visit would get us closer to the goal. I'd rather not grind the same dungeon over and over again for gear, which is what it's like at the moment. They're fun when you do them the first four or five times, but I hear people need to do each path once a day to get the maximum amount of tokens so that they can get the gear. This results in about 15-20 runs and they're just not enjoying it. Perhaps they could add other paths or something... I don't know. But now I've moved on from elite PvE areas to dungeons.

An Elite PvE area would be a place where you would need to know how to play your class and survive. It would be hard, and you'd need a good team to get through. It would have to last for more than an hour as well. Think of it like a massive event chain (which is what the underworld was like in Guild Wars 1). You had to talk to the ghost guys and complete their tasks. You also had to fight through the toughest enemies in the game to get to the ghosts. That was often the hard part, as various enemies varied in their attacks. You could have a lot of spiders use smite - a skill which sets you on fire and does a lot of damage. Or, you could have large fleshy golems that caused bleeding as well as resurrect the dead to fight for them.
Once you had completed their tasks, you then went up to fight Dhuum. He was the boss of the Underworld and was incredibly hard. He could pretty much kill you with one hit if you didn't know what you were doing or were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was challenging, and I only got to Dhuum once myself, but I always kept coming back so that I could fight him and see if I could win. Beating him was an achievement in itself. Unfortunately, the dungeons in Guild Wars 2 don't offer that level of difficulty. I love the dungeons, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to have quite a bit of a challenge from something.
