Whist mounted on the Siege Turtle infusion effects cannot be seen. I do not know whether this is intended but is disappointing either way. Would love to see this changed 🙂.

Infusions cannot be seen whilst riding the turtle... literally unplayable

Item: Mistforged Glorious Hero's Breastplate | Race: Sylvari | Gender: Male | Profession: Guardian Description: When using this chestplate the effect of the Celestial Infusion does not display correctly under the armor leaving the neck of character without the effect.

Also stuck in AT queue. Bugged and never started.

To you, who is basing their experience off n=1 ... it doesn't make sense. To Anet, who collects more data than they need, where they apply their resources to provide gemstore goods, it make LOTS of sense. The difference is that you view this from a player perspective, not a overall business perspective. Of course I do, as I am a player. Also I do not doubt Anet need to look at things with a business perspective, but should also have user experience in mind.

Now granted, templates havent been around for 8 years but still its the same concept, you are dumping it all in one pile and thinking its a big number. You dont have to max out all characters instantly. If you feel you do... well thats on you isnt it? And its going to cost you, exactly according to Anets evil plans. I think purchasing the stuff in a way that you do not notice the actual cost is not only a bad financial idea but not the solution to this. :)Is it a bad financial idea when you're not paying money for it? As long as gold->gems conversion exist, all arguments about gemstore monetization is moot. PvErs literally brag about their 20-30-40 gold an hour farms. That's literally around 100 gems an hour. Converting gold to gems defeats the purpose of this as you are not supporting the game. Do you think Anet can pay for servers with in game gold? Also The amount of gold needed to get all the template stuff is crazy and is not something most people have lying around.Now I'm confused whether you want to support the game or not. Again, you dont have to get everything instantly (not even for cash) and you dont have to get everything for cash either. You act like you have to slap $350 on the counter with no other choice. Over the years I've spent both money on buying gems and converting gold->gems.Yes I want to support the game, but I am only willing to buy so many overpriced things and spend so much on what at the end of the day is a game and virtual items. I want the game to be successful but I just fear with some of the recent gemstore additions it may drive people away.

Ow. Wasn't speaking for you. It was about Kharmin speaking about "which unfinished sets". I follow the completion of sets with the same .doc document .Oh aha I see, without the quote i thought it was a response the the main post :P

Yes that is exactly what I am talking about so the number is not wrong at all. Yes the basic unlimited gathering tools with no animations or bonuses is 300 gems cheaper at base price. And they have only been available for 1.2k gems on two occasions both of which only lasted for 2 days and was also limited to 1 purchase per account. So its not like you can just easily buy them at 1.2k.

So this is a bit of a rant and most likely not a popular opinion but I am currently finding it difficult to justify spending money on gemstore items. I love GW2 and want to support the game, however there are a few concerns that are pushing me away from the gemstore. The first issue I have is with mount skins and that sets of Mount skins rarely get completed and take a very long time. I have been waiting years to complete my favorite mount set yet there are still unreleased skins and Anet is only bringing out newer sets. Please finish the older mount sets! I do not want to invest into any more mount skins and end up with lots of mix and match unfinished sets. Additional I feel the Build/Equipment templates are overly monetized. To unlock all templates and storage for each of the 9 Classes it will cost around 35,000 gems which is over £350. To me this is insane and extremely expensive especially when comparing to the price of PoF on release, which was a full expansion with lots of content and only cost £30. Due to this I have been put off investing in the templates and am now only becoming increasingly concerned about how the Legendary Armoury is going to be monetized.Unlimited gathering tools are also worth mentioning here as they will set you back about 3k gems per character, which again is more than PoF currently costs. Of course I have purchased a lot of gemstore items previously however I mainly go for utility items such as Mistlock Sanctuary Pass, bank/material/inventory expansions and unlimited tools/salvage kits when on sale along with some cosmetic glider/mount skins. Beyond these I have not invested in much else due to the reason above and that I mostly see outfits and chairs on the gemstore these days. Personally I do not like outfits and have never purchased one. I love the idea of chairs and think they are a great addition, however I instantly regret buying my only chair when I found out they are technically mounts and cannot be used in places such as the Mistlock Sanctuary. So I find myself struggling to find anything that feels worthwhile to get without feeling ripped off. I would like to note that the purpose of this thread is not just to rant about the things I don't like, but rather to bring attention to these things in hope of making the game more successful.

Ugh this is the worst. Warbringer in Dragonfall is terrible for this, I never see my back item in that map.
