100%

I will acknowledge your individual complaints.

It was more of a rhetorical kind of saying to give you a hint where I stand, but if you want to blow it up like that... ok...

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

I'm not exactly sure what you are enquiring about. :S

I don't think its possible to have 2x 100% on one char alone because Canthan toons can't go pre Lion's Arch in Tyria and Tyrian toons can't go to noob island in Cantha. (I think)

Ok, apparently I haven't made myself clear enough.

If you have 100% of both Tyrian AND Canthan Exploration (On any amount of chars, I don't care you just need both)

THEN you can whine. In fact, you have a right to be angry if it hasn't satisfied you. But if not, what right do you have to complain about something you have not fully taken advantage of?

Oh, and Kakumei, way to jump the bandwagon.

I believe the message 'obtuseness FTW' is appropriate here.

All the gates would be unlocked by the time you hit 100%... you've completely missed the point. It's about going where you want to when first discovering the game... not mapping every square inch as you're more likely to do in a second pass (after everything is unlocked)

So we can't complain unless we have fully completed both explorer titles ? Well thanks for your permission and for clearing that up for us mere simple dullards.

Cheers. No really, I mean it. Honest.

I suppose you're right.
I can understand too.
I don't have that curiosity mindset where I have to go wherever you're not supposed to. I like to stay on the path of my quest and get things done.

First you missed my point (however poorly I gave it out the first time)
And now you're taking personal offense.
Look buddy if you're just gonna be all offended and try to frame me up as on a high horse, go right ahead. But I'm not gonna be the one to open your curtains and let the sun shine down on you. If you know what I mean. Which you probably don't.

So because there are lots of people who aren't like you, they aren't allowed to complain?

I wasn't aware you'd made one. I must have mistaken your point for a somewhat incoherent elitist statement that is patently impossible. My mistake.

For those of us who are not as enlightened as you are, elucidate we unwashed masses in the nature of your point.

I vote for a closure. I still fail to see the point of this thread and its rapidly turning in to an excuse for an argument.

Ah, see, that's because your point is wrong.

Nobody cares about locked gates impeding them in completing the game. The complaint are about the incapability to explore freely and feel like the world is open rather than a linear plot. That and the loss of time from exploring and realizing you can't proceed is what causes the problem with the locked gates.

Well isn't that great. Unfortunately you comprise less than 1 millionth of the total population, and I gather quite a large amount of it is not very pleased with you imposing your attitude as if you're 'better'. As an online rpg, people tend to like to explore around a quest, and Factions doesn't leave that as much of an option.

I can't see why you'd post this. Maybe you thought people would fall to their knees and worship you. Maybe you though being vague made you look mysterious and cool. What it does is make you look silly.

Perhaps if you'd all come out of your self-idolizing reverie, I could say this.
Let this thread die.
I came off on a vague start, and did so with a flawed idea as to WHY people were complaining about it.
But now everyone is simply hopping the bandwagon and trying to capitalize on those mistakes and so there's no chance for apologies.

I applaud you all for being good backslappers.

In any case I can sort of see why you would be upset about the subject, though I still cannot see why it needs to be complained about so often and loudly.

Being serious, could you please clarify the information you want from people? No questions were asked so its hard to enlighten you with an answer.

I think I understand.

You started a new thread to complain about complainers in response to the many complaint threads on locked gates and cartography titles.

I think I'll lock this thread and please, no new threads to complain about it.
