Having swarms of people pouring out of Rata Sum to split me open for precious alcohol, candy, and fireworks would be a total downer.

They just need to grind more Dinosaur rep before they can get Twisting Jaws.

If they put evolution in GW, those nestlings would evolve Twisting Jaws, then /lol at farmers.

For some reason, this thread is making me think that raptors would be a good sassi-only race in GW2.

Dont you guys know the nestlings are infected and must be eradicated.

Do your part and help save Tyria from the Raptor Flu. We must stand firm in our efforts to eliminate this deadly disease before it spreads farther.

If I was a dinosour, I would use Twisting Jaws on all you people farming me!
Or just not be bad at the game and run away from you! AI needs to be buffed to insanity!

By the time GW2 comes out raptors will be extinct if not then they will be a rare animal only seen in a certain area heavily guarded by the Asura...

Whatever, if I was a Nestling I'd just stop carrying around alcohol and fireworks. Not like I'd need 'em anyway.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

This is why dinosaurs became extinct. The cave people over farmed them for ele swords, sweets, booze and party items. The climate change theory is just a consipracy to disguise the shameful disregard for fauna caused by primitive beings.

Farming a raptor should aggro every raptors.
