Are you under the impression that most players don't actually complete quests, just in case they want to farm them at some point in the future?

Hey everyone,
We know you're all waiting with excitement for the in-game 6th Anniversary update, now that its details are out. We're working hard to get it ready but this won't happen until later this afternoon (PDT time).
Hang in there just a bit more and thanks a lot for your continued patience!

The change to Razah is great. I'm happy to see him get some more attention. Just . . . what happens if you switch him from Rt to something else, then switch him back? Does he lose his runes or equipment?
Love the idea of party banter. Sad it won't make it in for this update, but I hope we'll see it soon down the road.
No mention of the melee update that was supposed to come a month or so ago, though, unless I completely overlooked it. I wonder what's happening with it.
What, no mention of Mhenlo? Guess Stumme assumes he'll never be the pimp that Mhenlo is. XD

Can you tell us all the exact items in the Cash Shop that will be temporarily discounted or do we have to wait and find out? I would so pay a discounted price for the Bonus Mission Pack and I'm already planning on buying the Formal Attire.

"Six weeks of sales kick off in the NCsoft store today with a generous markdown on the costumes introduced with Hearts of the North. Have you been considering purchasing more storage, an extreme makeover, another character slot, the Bonus Mission Pack, or Eye of the North? You might want to hold off on that, because over the next six weeks you'll have a chance to get each of those at a discount."

Bold emphasis mine, but those appear to be the discounts for the remaining 5 weeks, from my interpretation.
Edit: sorry for the repeat of info - Neo and I are thinking alike today

No, you stop being absurd. It's very common for people to just complete quests and get the rewards without thinking about it. Common enough to be most. Your common is not enough.

D: late updates make me sad.... oh well at least ill be able to make razah a third hero.. maybe replace a discord hero with another e-surge! should be cool.

It's very common for people to just complete quests, yup. But once they (like you, and me) learn that it's more advantageous to keep a particular quest, then they'll do that instead.
The most common predictable trend, amongst all human beings, is to do X instead of Y if X is more advantageous/profitable. (especially if they don't have to do any work to do X... just leave it in your log... couldn't be easier)
So, most people will keep a farmable quest (if they know it's farmable) because most people do what's most profitable. Just like you and just like me!

So who was that "somebody"? Because we've got an Anet employee who's said otherwise in this thread.
Or they know, but simply don't care because it's not important to them.

This is where your logic is at fault. You are generalizing the entire GW community with the GWGuru community. Yes, most people on Guru know which quests to keep so you can farm them, but most people who don't visit forums (which is an overwhelming majority of the population of GW, or at least it used to be when I still played regularly) won't know which quests to keep.

There are more people playing the game than just farmers; the argument you have is based on the fact that everyone playing farms, which is, in fact, a fallacy.
As far as the update goes.. can't wait! I'm definitely excited to see it.

I really hope these new HM quest don't affect my VQing, I have 27 areas in Prophecies and 16 in Nightfall left, some of the mobs in War in Krtya with 6 players only can be rather RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing annoying....
Scott Ware
Just to clarify, farming the Requiem for a Dream and A Show of Force was so popular, in fact, that Anet removed Sunspear and Lightbringer titles as counting toward favor. So I'd say that's the very definition of common.

Sure it common for some players to do that it's still not the majority, believe it or not but most people don't really care for mindless farming.

Guys, I cannot find *any* update notes, there is no login announcement and when I was just at LA, there are no decorations.
