In the thread on the 4/25 Update ppl are saying the gear trick was nerfed.
With the multiple updates/builds that have occurred can someone confirm?

The 'gear trick' is not nerfed. The 'gear trick' has been fixed.
It used to be that carrying items caused one character to automatically gain aggro. This is no longer the case.

Take their Gryffons, take their books, take their gears. Real happy indeed.

This is good news indeed. We might finally see some skill return to the game. Probably not, but one can hope.

I dunno if skill will return without cheap builds showing up as well. If you saw the kinds of changes they made to skills during that short period of the crazy update, there is gonna be some major funtime antics going on with that Balt's Spirit. 26 bloodly nrg per hit is the most insane thing I've ever heard of. It would make my farming a lil easier but it's a lil over kill and I'm hoping that's not the finished product of how they'll change it. During the short time we could play it, we found a primary monk smiter pwned all in the arenas with the mass nrg from balt's. I do like the idea though of getting more nrg from balt's spirit to counter NR, and to be able to maintain mass bonds. It's very rare that you're team is taking enough constant dmg to be able to maintain the max 14 bonds, but if they change balt's spirit even slightly in favor of the way they changed it tonight, 14 bonds would be quite the slice of pie 
I'm imagining the day when 3-4 55 monks bond eachother up in a GvG and just stand there invincible with the now usable prot bond and all their other enchants.

The skill changes weren't intended to be released as they were obviouly not completely tested yet.

Woot! Finally!!
This means i might actually be tempted to make my ritualist during the headstart now

FA and oro are still very possible with a good monk and a warrior that knows how to aggro. Its about time we stopped depending on all those wammo's to protect us.

If that was exciting, I feel very sorry for his real life, uhhh, existance.

What could be more boring than just standing there while your group does most of the work?
Gear Trick was an exploit.Now it is fixed.It is not a Nerf.

ahh, they finally did something against the item aggro maker. I'm not suprised either since I noticed in the factions preview. That Ritualist had elite skills that could transform offensive/defensive items. Making the Ritualist to a deadly aggro 55 priest.

Either groups stop taking us because bonding is the most thing in PvE already without having to bond 7 people for a full FoW trip. Would eliminate those shitty 4-6man trips to FoW that keep appearing late at night though. Seriously i just can't be arsed to do trips where if 1 person drops its all over.

all it means is the tank must be good at controlling aggro rather than the whole team being able to run in and not get hit.

I can hear it now... 10,000 screams of dying ele nukers in FoW(cause they just love to start arggo before the tank and cast meteor storm)

I only do it vs sensible groups though. I'm not a total idiot who casts MS against warriors to start agro. I do it vs groups where most of them are casters (like the 2 Mes 2 Mo groups in the forge). Starting with MS while everythings in range is much better than the tank agroing then running back scattering them.
floplag
nerfed ... no ... put back to the way it was intended .. yes
you really think they introduced these new areas, and made all the really cool greens, so they could be farmed to the point of worthlessness in record time ?
it never should have been that easy.

From the guildwars website legal section:
NC Interactive reserves the right to alter the fees payable for new Chapters or introduce alternative fee structures for the Service. Any alteration to the purchase price will be posted on the Web Site at least 30 days prior to such alteration taking effect. If you do not agree to any such alteration, you should not purchase the new Chapter and/or you should terminate your Account prior to the date on which the alteration takes effect, otherwise the revised amount will automatically be debited to your Account.
^That worries me.

What he said ^-^
It's simply a bug fix. If HA had a "gain rank fast trick" most of the players would want it fixed to stop abusers, but some people would just simply love to abuse it to get ahead of time.

'LF 1 Bonder 1 Stance Warrior for FoW (book trick)'
Before you could do things normally, then all of a sudden everyone was using the frigging book!
There is only 1 item i can see a logical reason for gaining agro.
Dragons Eggs in Glints Lair, the only single item i can actually understand as drawing agro.
boxterduke
Its about time.
It was getting ridiculous with all the farming runs.
People that just go there to do quests do not get anything dropped for them anymore.

Has anyone tried using ele wards to farm? I'm thinking about using the tomb build and seeing if it will work with this.

Love how people use the word Nerfed all the time, like they understand the meaning. This was a fix, so the Monster AI would do what it should do, attack us all, not just someone holding some meaningless item. Griffon Farming wasn't nerfed. A new boss was added to a section in the desert where SOME griffons were, so they don't have as many griffons to farm in that particular area, but there are still some there and some in other places.
