[QUOTE=Tuna]Its important to take quotes in complete context, as you notice the sentance before I had a disclamer saying that you have implemented some things. The second sentance pressess on the many things that the community wants and there is little official word of ever getting.

There will always be optimists and there will always be Pessimists. Some one that posts USEFULL posts (not just plain rants) on forums, generally falls somewhere in between. As they usually post like ...
This annoys me....
Heres why .....
But if we do this .....
It may fix it because .....
Keep this in mind when posting
Sir Skullcrasher
not trying to be rude but shouldn't a-net have caught this exploits long ago, I mean a-net should have notice that people can screw up their armros for their own advantage during last time they patch up guild wars.

If anyone wants to take me up on that contest or whatever, drop me a pm.

I think details about exploits SHOULD be made available so people who get banned and say they had no clue it was an exploit have no excuse because of previous examples of exploits.

From quickly browsing the comments by Anet, it gives the sense they've bitten off more then they can chew. In that case, why not ask for help? My train of thought is currently in UI's (user interface's). They deal with the user mechanics of the game. They range from new nav pannels to macros, but they are done by the community. Hate to say it, but look at WoW. UI's are an incouraged, and important part of the game.
If Anet doesn't have time for the little things, let the community step in. For once in a game's existence - the community is willing to step in and help. Yet this game doesn't encourage it. What harm comes in having outsourced UI's? Besides one hell of a cluttered screen, of course! :P
People spend the time to make videos of places you can nerf ... they need to be put to work!
Lastly, it's the little things that make the game. Lack of Officer chat, or a friend's list online message - these two things actually equal invisible walls in my irritation. It's always the little things ... There was actually a study on this, and it turns out the little things bug us far more then big things. When some huge negative event happens, we can prepare for it - but when we're bombarded with little annoyances we can't handle the stress. For example, we can prepare for the lag, invisible walls, and idiots - but when little things like your NPC's not remembering your layout preferace, it drives you nuts!

This was an exploit that involved armor. It was, thank goodness, reported to us, and it allowed players to get an advantage that was unintended in the game. So, we closed the exploit. That is all. We did not slip in nerfs. We did not add new features. We didn't take the opp to include a teaser for Chapter 2 or an in-game product placement for Dr. Pepper, either. Actually, the update had a small glitch and a few new characters founds themselves running around in their skivvies. So we fixed, that, too. Wanted to put this here in its own post so it didn't get lost in the whining shuffle. |

I have no real skills in that department(code writing), but, they could hire me as a Operations Manager. I am pretty good at delegating and getting the job done.
I am a firm believer in a mid-afternoon power nap. But then I am sure they have it under control there. I'll bet it is a fun place to work most of the time.EDIT: Yes this makes perfect sense

I'm sure everyone is aware that in all honesty, we're not obliged to report anything. I'm pretty proud that we are, in fact, and are taking the time to make sure that we do so in six languages, too! If someone wants the development notes on every patch, well, unfortunately we're not going to be able to provide those. If we close an exploit and you wonder "Does it affect me?" then maybe we all ought to step back and take another look at you, huh? We post honestly about updates, but details are not provided for a wealth of reasons. It would be super if, instead of our seeing the glass has half empty, we all saw it as half full. This is the first company I know of that is so studious about trying to outline every area in which updates or patches are made, and to call out the specifics of what is being altered. I've seen games that have been out a year that don't have a single "patch note" page. So, in short, we're reporting what we can, and when we can, and will attempt to do that into the future as well. It's a vicious cycle, and it's sort of sad, because we really do have a plan in mind, and a sure and certain path we're going to follow. I am afraid that at a certain point, a few players thought "He who shouts loudest will get the most attention." If we ever gave the impression that the complainers were the only ones getting served, trust me, that's not the case. We don't get intimidated, and we don't pander. To everything, there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. |
To be fair, there were also unreported changes that slipped through too, like changing Healing Wards' HP from 200 to 5 to make them easier to kill.

It seems a little off topic, but it's still relevant to updates.

you are doing something wrong .i have no idea what it is but i have never sold anything more expensive than a silver dye (to a trader never person) for 600 or furs for 450+
i am not to Riverside yet but i always have an extra plat or 2 or 3 at the end of the day which is not more than 1-3 hours
closing on 250 plat next week
dont buy anything you dont NEED
dont waste salvage money unless you need the inventory space to continue
i have never had even a 1 k item to my name let alont a 250 k item to sell
i havent noticed the nerf at all
actually things started dropping better for me AFTER the patch evened things out so some spots were not getting more than their fair share (and mine less)

I never buy weapons. I find good ones or find a collector.

Most moronic post ever.
"I have a ton of money cos I dont spend any"
GEEE WHIZ!!!!! REALLY!!!?!?!?!? YOU DONT SAY?!?!?!.
What do you think we are talking about here?
160k is nothing, most of us have spent upwords of 700k on a single character. Of course you'll have a ton of money if you only save it, but whats the point of saving if your not gonna spend it on anything, very few people here just want the money for moneys sake, we wish to buy things, duh!.

If you've never bought 15k armour(full set) or spent more then 75k on a weapon then you need not post in this thread because it really doesn't affect you.
PieXags
It affects everyone.
And no, most of us haven't spent 700k on one character, if I added up all the money I spent on all 6 of the characters I've had, It would problably equal about 250k, and that's including 3 sets of 15k armor, I haven't spent anywhere near 700k, if you're spending that much on one character without even getting the 15k armors or anything, no wonder your poor, holy shit.
On one character, not getting the 15k armor I problably spend around 25k total, and that's it. Including the price of dye, armor, material, and weapons, no more than 25k. (Going through the entire game.) 700k on one character? Why the HELL would you spend that much?
And actually, people who haven't bought the 15k armor have every right to post in this thread. Maybe they didn't like the way it looked, maybe they didn't want it. That doesn't meant Gaile's words affect them any less.
