Almost two months ago I posted here on a gripe I had about GW PvP and you finally fixed it. No more grinding for XP points for Attribute Refund Points to test my crazy build ideas on my PvE toon (I have better gear on her than possible in PvP-only). This one change alone is making me grin from ear to ear. THANK YOU!

The only thing left that would be great is full UAX. Not for me as much anymore since the permanant rate change will make things tolerable I guess, and I'm trying not to be greedy after getting one problem addressed. However I still can't bring in my non-GW buddies (from competitive, worldwide fighting game circles) for PvP addiction because many of them can't stand adventure games and won't sit through weeks of "earning" needed stuff to fight effectively.

Just something to consider as you look for ways to expand PvP participation in the future (maybe an option for the expansion). I primarily wanted to say I for one appreciate your hard work and dedication to this game that I've put 700+ hours into so far. I'll be fine now until its time to buy the next major addition.

I'll be first, obviously.

We LOVE you! <3!!!

This has seriously got to be the single best update ever. They removed the refund attribute so you can change whenever, the incresed the faction so those pvp elitiests can stop griping about how they have to "farm" for skill points. And they added the very ingeneous idea of inviting a guest to your guild, so they can go to your hall and do gvg with you. Plus they fixed a ton of bugs and errors. Lets notr forget the 2 whole brand spanking new areas they added. Plus the new quests ment to further the story and the key for chests.

Thank you Anet, this has totally made my day.

Of course i can't play until I re-install all of my hard drive on my computer.
Oh well, it still made my day.

I'm stoked about Arenas now pairing you against Koreans and Europeans too. Little things like that are just neat.

Ya i forgot to mention that. It makes you fell that you are actually playing a game played around the world. Also you should always have a ready supply of opponants to face in team and competition.

Maybe to your cookie cutter monk they are. I am so scarred of the now exploding flesh golems.

Beyond that the update is fine... they just needed to buff UW even more... a chained soul right on the entrance that spawns only when a single person enters... now that would be a funny fix.

Hey u guys i have a question in the pre notes for sorrows furnace they said that things will be significantly easier to acquire. Will this mean that prices of items in game (ex. fellblades, axes), will be signifiactly lowered.

here is what they said

Update Forecast - Friday, September 2

As you have noted in recent weeks, the Guild Wars economy has become much more stable. With the release of the Sorrow's Furnace Update on September 7, we will be making a number of important economic and balance changes. Many things will become significantly easier to acquire, including skill points and skills. But the gold cost of learning a skill from a trainer will be somewhat more expensive for most players.

No refund points! Crazy idea that actually solidified into reality! Now I'll be on more for sure and concoct more builds instead of being stagnate with my cookie-cutter trapper ranger : ) .

Anyways, lovely update, I applaud in your favor A.net!

All our base is belonging to ANet!! I will name my firstborn child after you guys! What isn't there to like about this update? It kicks so much ass on so many levels. Annoying refund points? Good bye... we won't miss ya. Lame faction rewards? Hit the road jack. Cheaper skill points? Yes please. Amazing new zones to explore? Check. New post-ascended quests with big XP rewards? Oh yeah baby.

If there was ANY doubt that I would be buying the expansion next year, this update put that "debate" to rest. If they'll give us this much FOR FREE... imagine what they've got in store for us next year. I love you ANet!!

Yay, several things to say here.

1. My suggestion (I'm sure I'm the only one who suggested this) to invite people to your guild hall besides just you was implemented. Whether or not it was because of me, I don't really care.

2. NO REFUNDS! Do I need to say more? Now the possibilities are endless. A whole team can change it's tactics on the spot instead of having to leave a party. Just adjust and go, if that doesn't work... TRY AGAIN! Especially useful in HoH I think.

3. PVPX - Permanent! YAY!

4.Skill Points - Finally! I can get all the skills unlocked with one character! yippie.

5. I actually am liking what's happening with this update. I thought it would suck, but Anet and PlayNC have proven me wrong. THANK YOU!

Great updates, all of 'em I really really enjoy. The no more attribute refunds, the new zones are pretty decent, permanent faction upgrade, etc. I even got some more skill points that really made me happy. Because I needed two more to unlock the last skills for a build I'm testing. The only beef I have with it, is out of all this, I couldn't get my...

GODDAM 15K TORMENTOR'S SET UPDATE!!!

That pissed me off a fair bit, still I've no reason why they'd never update this one particular set. Not a big deal, the rest are realy pretty good. Rock on.

Yep, all they have left now is to fix a bit more balance changes (iirc), Tormentor's Armour, Toggle capes, Guild storage/customisation and observer mode. Not to say that this update didn't exceed my expectations

Edit: Oh and the better trade system. These shall come in time though :>

To all the GW developers:
Thanks so much! I was so excited to start playing on the new update last night I didn't read much on it till just now. (I just got off of work) It's like an early Christmas gift to me! One of the things i'm so glad they fixed among many other things is...the trade window now displays a warning if the other player offers customized items. I don't know how they do it, but they can pack so much into such a small download.
