Anet seems to be very ban happy. Got banned for the first time in over a decade of playing for being near some afk farmers when the GM was nearby even though I was actively playing the game. They refused to check their logs to confirm anything.
@phandrel7 сағат бұрын
That's rough. You'd guess they'd try some things first like whispering or teleporting your character, and see if you react.
@RuvimYurovskiyh5 сағат бұрын
@phandrel They did state in in map chat to move aside if we're not afk, which I did. Maybe not far enough? At least it was only 72 hour ban. And I have Throne and Liberty and New World that I'm also playing. Does make me think twice about purchasing the next expansion though...

There reason why it is so profitable is because you need to use meta reward for legendary armor crafting. So skins aren`t worth that.

Basically comparing the price of Vintage Black Lion Boxes with the current skins. GW2BLTC.com will be easier to do, as you can see buy/sell price instantly of those (www.gw2bltc.com/en/tp/search?name=chromatic%20assassin for the current one). Otherwise, picking the Vintage Box is always an OK deal. Just not always the best.

I think its really funny you say that because guild wars 2 is like the least monetized mmo lmao it's free to play the entire game until you hit the expansions, and when you buy the expansions it's buy once and you never have to pay again. No subscription fee or anything like that, there is micro transactions but it's not pay to win or paywalled content. This isn't really predatory at all it's just the reality that mmos cost money?

I remember back on Gw2 Launch, players used karma to make gold and 4000 people got permanent ban. After much backlash, they unbanned most, reverted the gold, and patched the game, but still kept banned a streamer that showed the NPC with karma items. They never intend for people to make gold using karma. It's always been that Trashy currency that only looks helpful and or rewarding. Only recently they are needed for legendaries. Which is OK. I don't mind spending 5mil karma on a cool skin.

Please do a video on salvaging exotics. I have a bunch of account bound exotics piled up from unlocking skins for exotic hunter collection and other random sources that I have no idea what the best way to profit is :( I'm a relatively new player and pretty much any/all guides only explain the benefits of salving upto rares, barely even mentioning exotics except "sell them on tp" which isn't an option for a/c bound.

Use rare salvage kit on account bound exoctic (prefereable the mystic salvage kit) and sell ectoplasm on Trading post
@nexeus7302Күн бұрын
1 - For weapons, recycle them on the mystic forge for a chance of precursor (usually used by players who are rich and they have nothing else to look for) 2 - If you need ectos, salvage all YOUR exotics, including your left over weapons (with Silver-fed) 3 - You always salvage your exotic armor, there's no other way (unless specific recipe done with the Mystic Forge) 4 - If you're after pure profit, repeat step 2, then salvage the ectos with copper-fed and sell the dust. 5 - well, there ya go, profit for ya.

Here's a video idea: gold per hour farming the map currencies (consuming -> shipments) for LS3, and Bjora's chests + ice nodes (Although West is much better, so maybe split West and East) as well as the 60 daily Jade chunks in DE (TP). It would have to be done on the same character to keep everything else equals (the chosen gathering tools, stealth, superspeed, movement speed, etc) My instinct is that DM's full 5 path might be better than most would think. Unfortunately, I don't think a pure gathering farm for LS4 would be half as good, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Inner Nayos has a good spot to park alts with 10 floating map currency orbs in a circle. Very nice spot and resets every hour, per character, up to the daily limit (9ish loops). Do the other 2 maps have spots as good as these to easily farm the map currencies? I can think of decent spots, but not quite as efficient.
