Underwater combat kinda sucks so I am cool with that.

I totally get the changes to dungeons, and they obviously buried them years ago. Fractals are a better system and I love the changes to them, but you need to...you know...make some new drat fractals.

ANET got this hero point stuff the wrong way round. People want to play the new specs in the new content.

Right now you play the old specs, finish everything then you get the new spec... with nothing for it to do.

Yeah I got hyped up for Druid for months and now the xpac hits and...Who knows how long it will be until I can actually play it. I'm cool with a long grind to max out everything, but dang gimme the elite specs at least.

The biggest issue I had was just the scarcity of players. Tons of people are doing the xpac content, yet I am running around only occasionally seeing someone. If there were tons of people, then that champ wouldn't be so bad. I wonder if they lowered the number of players on maps to avoid issues, or maybe the whole dang thing is counting as one zone for number purposes.

I really wish I had spent more time in the betas trying out all the different classes. Now I am not sure on what to play and the elite specs are gated behind some poo poo. People are loving the chronomancer but I didn't play it and very few people stream it.

If you just want to get the reward track items from PVP then join one of the custom arenas that are for doing dailies. After a handful of matches you'll be capped for the day (custom arena advancement is capped at like 2 ranks a day) and can go on about your business, no stressful bullshit involved.

If you just wanna grind to the end as fast as possible then yeah you'll have to do normal unranked/ranked games.

Yup, that's what I do when I don't feel like spvp but want dungeon armor or something from the tracks. Cheese the dailies in the custom rooms. Takes about 10 minutes and you'll complete a track in a week or so.

Ranger Time:

So I have been a long time Ranger and Engi player. Ranger has been very difficult due to all the nerfs and pet AI. I was cruising the official forums and found probably the best Ranger condi build utilizing short bow. I mean poo poo this makes HoT mobs extremely easy and has high survivability.

Forum link: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/ranger/PvE-WvW-Bleed-druid

Build: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNAV3fjUqQ5KWzCusAVLWMEM4s6YNt20BOBtAmAwor0VyUKD-T1yCABOoEEgDCAOq/owTA44LAAKaGMwEEWKxyS5xM7PonOAA-w

I dropped Lightning Reflexes and added Sun Spirit and it made it much better. I could get around 30 stacks of bleeds and 4-5 stack of burn on Vets all by myself. So happy!!!!

Edit: I also went with Refined Toxics in the wilderness survival line.

This is pretty tempting to try, but gearing always stops me from running a condi build. How much condi gear do you really need to make it shine? Could I theoretically get condi weapons/jewels and do decent?

There's a new dev in charge of the legacy collections, and he posted on reddit to lay out his goals. One of them being that items are no longer requiring events to fail. So that is moving in the right direction, and he seems cool. ANet never communicates as much or as often as we would like, but they have been making changes gradually since the HoT launch to fix or ease things we dislike.

I don't really have a problem with the mastery system as it stands right now, after the changes they made post launch. People asked for pve achievements they could work for and they made them. I'm like mastery 19 and don't really care that I am far behind because there's nothing that I REALLY WANT at the end of it. I just enjoy the game as I have. There is still work to be done on improving the HoT maps, but I trust they will work it out in their own ANet fashion (not as fast or informative as we would like).

So I really suck at generating any type of cash flow in this game. I'm looking at getting my crafting up, and that requires gold. So what do you all do when you need to generate some cash. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just something I can do here and there to generate a bit of gold.

Gathering routes are good for mindless money that you can fit into whatever space of time you had. I used to do an 20 minute one that would generate 4-5 gold. Goomteq will also net you 2-3 gold in addition to feeling good paying respects to pubbies.

The gear was where I had the hardest part when playing GW2. I didn't really know how to make money in GW2, so I didn't know the best way to go about getting higher level gear once I hit 80. That also made changing the way the armor looked difficult, so I would just get frustrated. Not to mention some of the dyes are expensive as hell, so there's the money issue again.

What do you enjoy doing? Because pretty much every activity makes money in some way. Right now you can do the wintersday events and sell the drinks you get from the boxes for 7 silver a pop. Fractals and dungeons give money, even just going on some gathering routes makes really nice money.

Gearing is easy, you can get your new level 80 in rares for pretty dirt cheap, then it is just the matter of getting exotics, which you can get through wvw badges, dungeon tokens, guild comms, karma, or just straight up buying it. Any gear above exotic is long term and not very impactful.
