Vancouver, I'm a little offended you would accuse someone as upstanding as myself of being from TO but I will excuse that if I can talk your ear off about food and drink here

Also, someone suggest me better pants for this ele please. I wanted to do superhero/wrestler (it's the same thing okay?) with sort-of-spandex, but light pants on females is an exercise in frustration in this game and I failed :(

Maybe not "preying" as such, but personal responsibility only goes so far if you consider people with psychological issues who are hiding in virtual worlds, and those who are actual addicts. I don't think MMO developers intentionally target them when they decide to add things like legendaries that require thousands of gold/mats, but they will attract them nonetheless (like casinos that attract gambling addicts even though they're not the intended audience and might not be welcome at all) and it's a fact that part of the players are sort of a captive audience for different reasons than "just likes grinds" or "is too stupid to stop playing because they hate grinds".

I actually just wanted to point out that MMO developers have more reasons to stick to the current formula forever, though, beyond inertia :haw:

They do intentionally target people with addiction mental illnesses and actively try to foster it in their audiences. Blizzard is more guilty of this than anybody. Anyone who thinks that they throw out "we make addicting games" so often without sitting down and discussing how to addict and exploit player psychology is an utter fool. It's honestly baffling how people can be so blindly defensive and trusting of a company that bought King Games for $5 billion so they could put patented Candy Crush poo poo in their games.

Trying to find actual pants for human/norn/syvari ladies who wear light armour is infuriating.

I like the Human racial T1 and the Ascalonian Catacombs pants, personally. Both are leggings, human T1 has the bottom of a leather coat around them and AC has a sort of miniskirt. Light guild armour might also work but I'm phoneposting and can't remember what it looks like.

As someone who's lived in BC pretty much his whole life, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and even San Francisco to a certain extent are all basically the same place, and every day I wake up and have to check my phone's GPS to make sure I'm still in Canada.

Thunderbro posted:

Yes, this is a huge problem. Dragon Stand is such an innovative and cool concept that is essentially a 2-hour raid yet they decided to lock multiple things behind true sperg gates. I have much more important things to do in life than carefully cultivate a video game team to play a video game part time job. You can't finish your Masteries, you can't get legendary armor, you can't get ascended gear for some of the best stat combinations without raiding. They need to fire whatever Wildstar retards are trying to tank GW2 with such nonsense.

CLAM DOWN posted:

See yeah, I'm never going to complete masteries, legendary armour, viper's ascended, etc. And it's not because I'm not capable skillwise or anything? It's because I'm arbitrarily locked out of an entire part of the game because I cannot schedule my time around it. It's a load of poo poo.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
You can slowly work off masteries like I did, it's not that hard. But yeah, it takes time and the gating for a lot of it is questionable at best. Some people do those challenges daily because they like them, and they get rather decent exp from getting gold on a few of them a day.

Personally, I just did the HoT storyline multiple times to get exotic viper gear for my druid. Which is a different time investment all together, but it was totally worth it as I find viper druid to be the best thing. I used to play condi ranger when the game released and it was a horrible build. But now I can do what I'm used to and not be a sucky peace of poo poo too!

I honestly don't understand what you mean.

By doing what I'm used to, I mean using shortbow and axe/torch. I used pretty much only those weapons for 1.5 to 2 years. By not be poo poo, I mean both that condi isn't awful like it was at the beginning of the game, as well as that rangers aren't as bad at condi as they were before.

Now if only they updated ranger traps, then I could do my original build again.

Take a look at the Profane set. It's generally regarded as a super-hero-esque set. I think it looks like dominatrix gear, and also bad, but maybe it's what you're looking for?

Traps are actually still pretty good, they're just under a lot of competition right now, Sharpened Edges is exclusive with Trapper's Expertise and Glyphs take up your utility slots. I usually end up slotting and traiting Flame and Snake traps for Thaumanova Anomaly and the Aetherblade Retreat final boss sequence since everyone's running around madly half the time. Still can't throw them if that was the dealbreaker though.

That's actually close, but as you say it looks really bad, as if someone copied it from GW1. Oh...
