The free transfers are gonna end, don't worry about it so much. I'm not in their guild and I don't do it myself just playing devils advocate I guess. Why would you compare 1 person spying to having 100 people afking on purpose in their server?
Admin can't ban them for spying, ridiculous to even suggest it.
People originally thought it's too harsh to ban people for making chocolate peppers, or whatever that one was. Having someone transfer server just to provide locations of the army in WvW is (in my opinion) much worse than that. The server's already clearly ahead, spying is just a dick move.
Could you explain the pepper thing? I have no clue what that was about. Did arenanet ban people for cooking an item or what...
I didn't pay too much attention, but you could buy mats for karma or something, and sell the produced item for a big profit. A few people got banned iirc. There was also the karma weapons which were massively underpriced that people were abusing, a lot of those people got banned. Basically, ANet aren't fucking around when it comes to people making the game less playable/enjoyable for others.
Karma weapon drama I knew about and fully support ANet.
You're comparing exploiting a known bug/glitch with revealing information about the enemy.
I'd say the only reason ANet could ban someone for spying would be that they are taking away a spot for someone else to contribute in WvW. But if that person who is spying is also actively helping w/e realm they are on then idk if they could do anything about it.
Surely spying is -not- actively helping the realm they're on..?
Hmm, I wonder what the guild leader of Ruinous is doing on the wrong team.
Archaos is already infamous from WoW and WAR, this isn't helping.
You're post added nothing to our discussion as we were alrdy aware of him being on the enemy team.
So ya. Just saying ANet can't ban him atm for anything he's doing because the stuff that may be against the ToS he's not doing it in the game where they can record/track it (on skype/TS, voip programs etc)
Sure he may be a jackass but all this is gonna stop when free transfers end, unless he wants to pay constantly just to spy on enemy teams.
Atm just go with the flow and let ANet know they messed up with WvW atm and wait for them to fix it.
The guy in that guild [RUIN] 'Archaos' is now trying to lead the other server into wrong places. ( http://i.minus.com/ioVP6HsVQkNqL.jpg ) as well as(allegedly) other members of the guild shitting up Lion's Arch chat of other servers claiming big guilds were leaving to try and get others to leave. They're just general dickheads. Free transfers need to end very soon. (No point to this, just pointing out the tactics they're using)
It wouldn't surprise me if these sort of guilds do end up buying secondary accounts to spy on other servers.
On another note, does anyone have any idea if the 'guesting' system is still a feature? The one where you can join other servers for everything except WvW?

Nope, bugged on mine too.
Ok so he's fucked up and is actually lying in chat, he should get banned now lol.
Yes I knew he was trying recruit people from other realms to join them but I didn't know he was trying to sabotage servers population and lying in chat.
Yes free xfers need to end, this weill all end then.

As far as I know, the entire reason they have free transfers still is because guesting is a broken mess. So, until it's fixed (which'll take a while, seeing as they're still trying to fix everything else), it's free transfers for everyone. Yay.
Ok so I ran AC yesterday 2 times first run I got 30 tokens. Second run taking a different path which I'll never take again (howling king). I got 25 tokens. So 2 runs net me 55 tokens. Before it was 30 per. Still not that bad IMO only 5 token difference.
If anybody on ehmry is interested in running AC ghost eater I am down. Took me about a hour with inexperienced group.
Managed to get the skill point via a switch to a EU server, and I've now completed the map. Having done such, I am now pretty much unsure what I want to do. I've gotten a few good 78 or so exotic pieces for an alt via exploration and I've managed to almost complete an outfit that I enjoy looking at.
So what kind of stuff are you guys wearing?(In game..) I am sporting the Medium Orr temple armor set. It's awesome with the right dyes.
When I think about it, a PvE closet would make sense too. Because right now it annoys the hell out of people to be forced to farm 2 dungeons to get the armor they want (one with the skin, the other with the stats) so having pure cosmetics rewards without any stats would be in my opinion as wise step to take.
Plus it gives a bigger sense of accomplishment when you get a new armor as you can mix it with the last one without having to store the model inside their bank.

Every class is good for PvE in its own right. Some are more limited to the build they can use to deal with the various situations but none of them show massive disadvantage in that department.
OK having sorta ran all paths of AC Ghost Eater is way easier.
That howling king path is sorta ok but keeping the guy alive is a pain without coordination.
The Generator one forgot the name is retarded I think its broken. The room with the Generators and burrows when you get burrows down to 35% its like you can't hit them which messes the whole thing up. Thats as far as I got had to leave cause it was taking to long and had to run to work.
BTW the more I learn about shattering properly with mesmers the more I love the class. Distortion is a life saver.
What are peoples thoughts on Retaliation and Vulnerability boon and conditions? I've looked up different places but wanted to ask your general thoughts PvE and PvP wise are they effective?

Retaliation doesn't really matter because it lasts for like 3 seconds. Really easy to just not hit him. Vulnerability is alright if you can get the stacks high enough. 5% damage really isn't shit.
Vulnerability is awesome, it's part of the reason warrior GS glass cannon builds are so strong (and no skill). Not sure about other classes, but warriors can keep up vulnerability pretty well with On My Mark and Axe 2. +14% damage increase, and on top of that there's a trait that gives warriors a chance to add vulnerability on crit.
As for retaliation, it seems kinda meh as far as I know. Confusion does the same job but better since it relies on enemies casting spells rather than relying on them hitting you.

Coupled with their ability to either give it to allies or absorb oncoming attacks directed at allies and the portal abuse from mesmers, WvW is 100% pointless.

Ah, the times where I still thought throwing my AoE abilities into the enemy Zerg was a good idea...

Just don't pick up for necromancer now.
Dun play it for PvE.You feel depressed when you take a year to bleed out your mobs.
Even more depressed when the warrior/guardian/thief next to you just press 3,3,3,3 and the mob(even higher level than them) is dead in a matter of seconds.
Honestly speaking, PvE wise you should take a warrior or a thief or a guardian.
What Necros are amazing in both pve and pvp. Highly recommend a pet build for s pvp, high dmg and survivability and a decent amount of control. Pve you can do whatever you want, really.

Don't troll please.
MM build is the worst of all the builds for Necro because the A.I for minions are broken.
