Holy enormous second update... 5 megs

Uh oh what did they do?

Two reasons
1. GW is getting boring
2. The economy needs another killer money sink
These titles are Anets only course of (easy to do) action to provide endgame content. Instead of giving us a new found hard ars dungeon to explore, they create a title that takes a lot of time and money for a GW player. A dungeon or more content would require taking too many human resources away from GW2, instead a few people can create an emote fairly quickly and add some code for a title track.
Lucky for me i dont title farm because i find it a stupid excuse for endgame content.

One of the odder updates in recent history. And this is an ENORMOUS money sink.
2nd update just ruined some nice GvGing - better have an excellent reason

Bug Fixes
* Fixed a crash bug.
Miscellaneous
* Corrected an issue with the Guild Wars updater. When you restart Guild Wars, the gray splash screen may appear an extra time. This is normal and will not recur after the update is applied.

I really don't care anymore!

I am amazed at how many people are calling this a money sink. This does not remove any money from the game, it just redistributes it. Money sinks remove money from the game. All armour, for example, are a money sinks. They actually remove money from the game.

"fixed a bug" ...
Aint that a cute update log filler
"Something got nerfed but you're too busy with new Z-sh*t to see it now"
is more like it
j/k, that was a funny entry anyway

For those that haven't seen it, the new tonic is very kewl!

I don't see what's wrong with the update.
What bothers you about the new title if it's a pain to max?
And players have been asking for another emote title for months now.
I never thougth Andrew Patrick was so true when he said that you only see the angry players on forums, and never have/nearly have none positive feedback because those are playing the game.

This is more of a time sink/bad decision.

Wow, so now I'm gonna get ranked by a bunch of noobs who bought their keys? If anything they should have at least made it so you can't sell keys to other players. Bad was to gain this title. It should show only pvp skill, but thats not the case here.

Don't affect me too much, but atleast I'll make more profit off selling keys :-)
The new tonics look like fun though. Monster filled Kamadan FTW!

i wonder why the new consumable/key titles added dont count the ones already used before the title was made. i think it was managed when the gladiator rank was changed a while back(eg added all the 5 wins points to the title so some people found they had more glad points that before)
just wondered why it was able to update for that and it doesnt do it for the party animal and zaishen chests:|

Imagine yourself getting a everlasting tonic? How much would people pay? 100k +100 ectos? Isnt that worth it?
Renewing the everlasting tonics will give us each month a new way to keep that high price for THE NEW everlasting tonic just going up and up. So this way theres allways going to be something worth getting there.
So you can say this is most likely a gamblers title or a hardcore pvp title (getting 4500 at GvGs is worth 900 keys at the title).
This way you can play pvp and get some awsome gold/reward. If you want to.
So what is someone shoves an emote in my face! The least ill say is "ok, you stay here and ill have sex with my girlfriend, brb".
Life > no-life
I wont be making use of this anyways, i like the casual pve/pvp thing.
I wish they could improve much more the assassins AI, like using their attacks more frequently would be a good start. (acutally the melee in general)
I made a post about the assassin's AI, but like usual, people dont bother saying something about it to get it done and just like to complain, wanting things to fall from the sky into their hands and be treated like kings (also known as spoiled).
Some things i posted and i bet some of you never even considered on saying something:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10284956
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10279810
Guess what Andrew Patrick said is true.
note: do not need to post something on those threads, i just used them as an example to prove my point

Kinda a pointless title. Now they're rewarding people for opening some chest and even giving them an emote to spam for opening those chests! But I really want to know, why the emotes?

It's a lot like treasure hunter title: the keys cost twice as much as lockpicks, but the chest is a lot easier to find.
ANET needs ways to keep people from getting too bored undil GW2.
This was aimed at getting more people into PVP, which is a good thing imo.
The fact that you can purchase another title is bad...it definately should have been aimed towards actual pvp, like balth faction gained or something.
My predictions: Z keys will cost 3k again soon enough, and the GW player base will reduce slightly from lack of interest. If they think updating with gold sinks that dont change gameplay at all is going to keep players interested...GTA4 ftw
