But it's not causing people to have seizures or involve cats. How is it going to sell on the gemshop?

Maybe the worst idea ever period.

Legendary belt/nosering/underwear, heard it here first

Nope.

With the community we have? The community that cries out to nerf open world bosses? I doubt that that would sell m8. 😄

The devs don't come here and they don't really run the /wiki. The /wiki is a community run project afaik but I wouldn't know who to contact on that particular issue.

Boy do I have news for you....

At this point that problem has persisted so long that I'm kinda sure ANet is unable to fix it. Unable would still be better than unwilling because the constant random zooming can't be working as intended.

I wouldn't call it "design flaws". More like "design decisions that don't align with you" and that's fine. Not everyone has to like everything and as it seems, you have found a MMO that is more to your liking already. But still, to adress a few things: 1) Not being able to solo things in a MMO is not a good complaint. Sure the days of runescape or vanilla WoW are long gone and times have changed making MMOs more single player friendly. Which is probably for the better. However, demanding that a MMO should be 100% soloable is just not reasonable. As others have pointed out MMOs are by definition multiplayer games. Also in the example the OP gives the interactions with other players are "asking for help" which is something that has happened in gaming since before the internet has been a thing and could have been avoided by the OP simply not asking for help. Not saying there is no group content or that there is no content in GW2 that is gated behind playing in a group, there is. But setting the bar as low as having to ask for help is very strange imho. 2) The reliance on the /wiki for information is indeed a bit of a problem in some instances. It is optional, sure, but when it comes to some collections or scavenger hunts I, personally can't imagine how people are able to do it without the /wiki or yt. I guess it's possible by just looking/searching. But however, the resources are there, the /wiki is even available more or less in-game, people are online already as well, so I kinda don't know what all the fuss is about. Yes it does take away the challenge, but again, it is optional, if someone wants the challenge, they can opt out and have the challenge. 3) Tbf, getting that darn egg was a very frustrating experience for many players even with the /wiki and the whole community behind them. The collection was unclear, getting the egg was RNG, some players got it in three attempts others didn't get it after a week and there was no sure fire way to get it if you had bad RNG. ANet, as they do, did not communicate with us on the matter. So all in all. Yes, I understand that this particular experience was extremly frustrating. It is however not the average. What is true nonetheless is that GW2 might just not be the MMO for you. The only time you will have puzzles to solve on your own will be during some story instances maybe, and there they will never be hard. In the open world it will most likely always be some sort of movement puzzle, scavenger hunt, collection or checklist.

"Truth is, the game was rigged from the start."

Generally whenever a single game wanted to do all the genres it never ended well, so i'd cut it down to focusing on one genre with splashes of others. Instead of "It's a FPS but it's also a farming game and a hack'n'slash and also a pinball simulator and a puzzle game and also it's fifa while being also being a racing game". GW in space sounds desperate but in the end the mechanics must be good. If the mechanics are solid the paint you throw on it don't matter much. I'd rather have them spend resources on GW2 as long as the game is still running, which it still is.

That makes sense. Keeps catching me off guard every now and then as well 😄 yw

Hmm....Do you have the Exalted Mail Carrier active? I'm trying to remember if during Aurene's adolescence (some time shortly after HoT) Exalted appear as well as the littel dragon but it's been a while...

Are you sure it wasn't this character model?

Instead of hoping you could contact them via E-mail if you're serious about your request.
