Melech, you keep saying that anyone doing this has a coping problem. That's what I'm having difficulty grasping.

It's trending towards that way, but it's still not a given. I've been in groups where the book trick was brought up and 2 or 3 people pipe up, "What's the book trick?"

Nothing. As long as random guy is ready for the guy who likes "A" to sit up and say, "Nope! I'm fine with it the way it is."

I just find it hard to accept that some people buy a game and then complain about the game. If it's not meeting your needs then move on to something else. Otherwise, figure out how to have fun with what you've got, but don't expect me to root for you when you try to change something I enjoy.

Well here we go: http://guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3004896

Gaile talking about the Ritualist Ashes issues and that it will be adressed. I am sure people will be happy to see this.

As for Melech, your statement is quite... hypocritical.

Ah Theos, you can sleep soundly at night knowing your Ritualist won't hold aggro and that all will be right in the world of PvE.

As for being hypocritical, I don't see it unless you mean by disagreeing with you I'm a hypocrite. By that definition then everyone who had an argument would be a hypocrite.

You can complain about the game all you want. I'm fine with that.
Just be fine with me telling you how full of BS you are and that you should find something else to play.

I never said I was going to be nice or accept your point of view about the game. You don't have to accept mine either.

Also, thanks for ressurecting this thread. Are you sure you play a mesmer and not a monk?

Your hypocricy lies in the same terms as "whining about whiners", you suffer from the same problem. I don't care if you like my views or if you hate them, they are not your views after all.

It is just funny when you tell us to deal with it, then say if anything changes you will be fine, and then later defend your current game style as if it were your religion. Its some what odd, if you really don't care (or lets say it better would "you would adapt" as you say it) as to what happens then stop posting, the more you post the more rediculous your "godlike" adaptability seems.

I ressurected it in order to inform those who actually care about the mesmer class and the farming future of GW PvE, who may have missed this. I play a resmer

I am still laughing though, your only defense seems to be "play something else" yet you are the almighty one who can adapt to all are you not? Do you see the hypocricy yet?

Nope. I'm not whining. In fact I'm anti-whiner and will zealously monitor these boards trying to stomp out whining wherever it rears it's ugly voodoo baby head. All I'm doing is defending the game that a lot people play against the whining group of PvE RP'ers that haunts these boards.

As for being adaptable... well the jury is out isn't it? If they change the aggro and I happen to leave then you can think smug thoughts about me and my adaptability. If however, I manage to stay (and I think I will) then I've adapted. You on the other hand, have already shown you're incapable of adapting to the game as it stands. You'd rather moan about it how it needs changing here on the boards.

My defense of my playstyle is mainly about my fun and profit. I enjoy the game and get great utility out of the gear/book/barrel and 55hp stuff. Since it's good for me I'm going to defend it. Yep, I operate out of selfishness just like you. You want your PvE and I want mine but they are orthogonal so we're going to argue. Pretty simple really.

By the way, my "play something else" is a great defense. You're free to play the game as it stands or leave any time you want for some other game. You obviously don't like parts of the game because you're here complaining about it and not trying to find something else that meets your needs. That in itself shows a certain... lack of adaptability or just blind stubborness.

The Book trick is not the only way to do well in FOW. I good Barrage Pet team can clear FOW and hold Aggro far better than any book trick (and its faster). There are team builds out there who do fine with no book.

As far as the "book trick" is concerned. It does help new players to fudge a little and still have a good run on FOW or SF missions.

I hope there are skills from the Ritualist spell list for W/Rt to use to draw aggro in PvE when things get out of hand. Besides the item spell only lasts for so long then its either use it or loses it. I want monsters to draw on me when I hold ashes so I can blind em or do other mean things to them.

Your logic, still, is horrid. The "book trick" exploitable AI has been in the game since release. Players have not had to adapt to it because it was never NOT exploitable in this manner. If the AI were changed, those who use it and/or rely on it WOULD have to adapt, since there is a change taking place that require them to make a change as well.

Therefore, if you have problems with those who can't adapt, you have problems with everybody defending the AI and demanding it remain the same which, ironically, includes yourself.

I can see why you have problems with my logic since you can't formulate your own very well. Did you read that last sentence out loud after you wrote it. Try it and see. The sentence before the last one is pretty "horrid" too. "never NOT?" Hmm, was "always" the word you were searching for? So much for the state of education in America.

Here are the facts so you can digest them:

1. The book/barrel/gear has always been in game and free to be used or not be used by any player.
2. People who like the book/barrel/gear use it and have adjusted their PvE playstyle accordingly.
3. Players like you who don't like the book/barrel/gear have three choices: play the game like everyone else (use/not use barrel etc.), come here and complain, or find another game.
4. You chose to complain so you're obviously not intrested in adapting your playstyle to what's available in the PvE environment.

Conclusion: You're happy complaining and being a victim.

Oof! That is some contorted logic there as well. However, I see where you're trying to go. You're saying I can't adapt because I don't want something to change. However, your logic is poor because you're founding your argument on something that hasn't happened. You've no proof that I can't adapt. You can only speculate, but until something changes and I fail to adapt your argument is meaningless. You, however, prove quite the opposite of yourself when you come to these boards bemoaning the state of the game. Why aren't you in-game and playing? Can't adapt? Don't want to adapt? Enjoy playing your tiny violin?

I played the game as it was given me. I've gone through every change and rolled with it. If the game changes, as I've stated above, I'll still play and will adapt. I don't want the barrel/book/gear game to change because I make gold in game and enjoy playing more now because I farm and get better gear. However, if it does, I'll still find a way to cope.

Please do. You're arguments are so impossibly twisted and contradictory that I need all the time and help I can get to unravel them. (Also, you do realize you asked me if you should speak more slowly while typing more slowly. You should wait for an answer before actually doing what your asking.)

Great way to define PvE, now lets look at that little book that came with the game. HUm, warrior... Well I don't see anywhere "Used to hold gear", hell I don't see anywhere in the book "Use gear trick to make PvE easier". So had it been placed in the game with any real reason beyond being an overlooked problem that would eventually be exploited, as all other problems, it would have found a nice place inside that little booklet probably next to the warriors name. Hell it wouldn't even be called a warrior, more like "I HOLD BOOK!"

The sound you just heard was Theos changing the subject. However, you may have missed it due to the noise generated from CalamityKell's tiny violin.

Well it just so happens that I have the little book that came with my Guild Wars CD too. I'll provide a few choice quotes from the description of the warrior.

"...They can take a beating unlike anyone else...Defensive tactics help the Warrior to avoid damage and protect allies..."

Of course these snippets are in my favor, and the paragraph is also filled with descriptions of the warrior swinging his sword/axe/hammer/wang or whatever warriors like to do. The point is that this game isn't a letter of the law game. I didn't find anything about the gale spamming warrior in that paragraph just as I didn't find anything about the IWAY pet warrior. The game manual isn't a codex for how to play, just an introduction of the classes. There are a lot of things not mentioned in the manual that some people consider problems, yet ANet has left them in game. Why is that?

If you really expect to find everything about the game in the manual, you might want to reconsider your approach to games like this. I don't think I've ever played a game, let alone an MMO, where all the possiblilites were explained in the manual.

I'm glad that Gaile responded to the question about urn aggro. I'm glad that she agrees that it's "not fun" and that it "will be addressed". Sweet. I look forward to them resolving this issue in the 20-ish days that are left between now and the time Factions is released, and will continue to bring it up to her if I'm ever in the same district that she's in.

1. Correct. Something you actually understand, I'm very impressed. Let's see if it'll last.

2. Oh well, you almost made it. MelechRic, players did not ADJUST to this AI, you moron. The AI has ALWAYS been like this, so there was NO adjustment necessary!! What part of that do you NOT understand? If the AI never changed, the players never adjusted to the change! You cannot adjust to a change if it never takes place. So what you call "adjusting" is merely "using the exploitable AI to their advantage." I've never argued that exploiting it wasn't beneficial; I know full well it is. But it's not an adjustment you made, it's how it's been. Now, if they were to change the AI so that the trick no longer worked, groups who rely on the trick to farm, WILL have to adapt to the change that DID take place. You're either an idiot, illiterate, or trolling if you still don't get it by now.

3. I do play the game, thank you. That's why I'm not here to reply to every other post like you. I actually play and enjoy this game. Never used the book trick either. So please, I'm not the one begging for things to stay the same so it's easy, so don't say I can't adapt.

4. Oh, but I do play. And when the AoE fix was implemented, my Elementalist had to do quite a bit of adapting. I do fairly well, thank you.

Continue disregarding every point I make just because you don't understand, don't like, or are embarassed that you're so absolutely hypocritical and stupid that you refuse to let go. Amusing, yes, quite so, but not near intelligent enough to truly be enjoyed.

At this point, I'm left to assume that you are here continuing this discussion simply to drive smart people crazy and get laughs, since nobody could possibly type long well-written posts like you, and not understand simple concepts such as adapting and whining.

Both of which were abused/overused... and... ANet fixed them. You did know this, right?

He's trolling. Deliberately antagonizing poster after poster in this thread, one after another. Stop feeding him, for pete's sake. Read this thread and try to find one outspoken poster that he didn't pick a fight with. Seriously, how hard is it to have a thread full of people speaking out against the ritualist urn aggro effect without a gear-farming apologist turning the thread into one trollish, baiting, antagonistic post after another? Yeesh.

Gaile has acknowledged that there is an issue with the ritualist urns; I honestly hope that they're working on a fix. I believe that the need exists to further impress (or rather, to reiterate) on ANet exactly how important this is and how vital it is that it is fixed. We would still like more followup and more feedback from ANet that they understand how leaving this AI choice in will gimp ritualists and relegate all the ashes spells for use strictly by W/Rt's. I'm interested in clear, open dialogue with ANet about this issue.

Of course, such a dialogue will never happen in a thread such as this, which is rife with trollish "omg ur logic is teh sux" banter back and forth. Fat chance of such a dialogue occuring in this thread, so therefore, the troll has achieved "mission accomplished" here. Meh, close the thread anyhow, I say.

They've acknowledged it, and hopefully they'll fix it. And you know what? If they fix it (i'm too cynical to say "when they fix it"), they may remove all held item aggro effects. I'm not confident that will happen, but there's a good possibilty of it. If that happens, I swear, I'm going to laugh until my bones shake. I'm going to go to deldrimor war camp and watch the "OMG /RAGEQUIT" chat and laugh from my belly. Cue violins for people who have had their game "ruined" by the removal of idiotic AI.

People's emotions are running high because a game-shaking change could very likely be on the horizon. Will all held aggro be gone in 20-ish days? Will ritualists be able to conjure their urns in safety? We'll see!

You're missing the distinction. Just because there was a prexisting condition in the game like the book trick doesn't mean it can't be adapted. We all came to this game with uninformed playstyles. For lack of a better description you could call those styles 'baggage' from other games. I liked to hack-and-slash and wasn't much into farming. I just did the quests/missions and went through the game linearly. I ended up very poor in terms of in-game gold. When I saw how beneficial the gear/barrel thing was I changed/adapted my playstyle to start farming.

I actually have some amount of non-play time. Guild Wars is fun, but I'm not going to spend 12 hours a day playing it. I'm just fortunate to have an internet connection wherever I go. That allows me to be vigilant against the whining minions that inhabit Riverside Inn. Also, if you play so much why are you here whining?

If you don't use the book trick then how does it affect you? I can only guess that you're either jealous of people who do or you're just trying to force your ideal MMO on other people. I'm not interested in your ideals. If you think it affects you by not allowing you to RP because nobody wants to RP anymore, you're correct. There's only so much tread left on those RP tires in this MMO and we're down to the nubs.

Good for you. Treat yourself to a cookie. Also, if you're so adaptable then why you here complaining about something in the game?

I've examined your points. Besides being poorly thought out, they don't refute anything I've said, or prove to me that you're adaptable. All you've done is try to make some crazy logic chain saying that I'm not capable of adapting because I've never had to adapt. You base this on the fact that the AI trick has always been in the game. My point is that you can't prove something about me until you actually see me attempt it and either fail or succeed. You have NO EVIDENCE. I, however, have a body of posts from you showing that you'd rather be a victim and complain. To me that indicates a faliure to adapt.

I could make the same assumption about you and a few other people. However, I'd rather base my conclusions on the facts, which are plainly that you enjoy being a victim and enjoy complaining in a public forum.

If you do go crazy, I'll send you a post card to put in your cell. Hopefully you're not that fragile.

There's a difference between abuse and overuse, but considering your previous posts I can see how you would fail to make the distinction. Oh well, it's just another clue to your overall mentality.

Cheers!

Yeesh.
I tried to start a civil discussion but what I got was a group of individuals like yourself religiously defending their right to petition for modification of the game. I found that unacceptable. Your first post in this thread is self-desribed as a tirade. I believe this speaks volumes about you and your kind. You're obviously a very emotional person who needs a lot of affirmation of your positions. That's why you post here. So you can get an attaboy from the rest of the PvE whiners crowd.

We would still like more followup and more feedback from ANet that they understand how leaving this AI choice in will gimp ritualists and relegate all the ashes spells for use strictly by W/Rt's. I'm interested in clear, open dialogue with ANet about this issue.
Suprisingly I agree. However, I doubt your sincerity. I think you want open dialog as long as the conclusion is what you think it should be.

True. It is a digression, but I feel the need to defend myself just like you do.

I'm going to go to deldrimor war camp and watch the "OMG /RAGEQUIT" chat and laugh from my belly. Cue violins for people who have had their game "ruined" by the removal of idiotic AI.
You're scary in the above paragraph. Your world must be very small if you're going to derive that much enjoyment out of a simple AI change. You can PM in-game and I'll join you. I'd like to see what a manic personality is like in real life.

By the way, I consider the term "ragequit" on the same level as the term "noob." It's simply a derogatory way of labeling someone. You sound elitist when you say/use it.

Well you've certainly put your finger on your own emotional level. I'd say that most of the other "high" emotions are simply because people aren't used to having their ideas confronted.

Cheers!

First of all, MelechRic, you're a joke. Quit complaining about people complaining about something that needs to be fixed.

ArenaNET has already mentioned they're looking at it (through Gaile), so I'm not sure why you're still bitching.

The thing is, MelechRic, is that whenever people email suggestions to fix the game directly to ArenaNET, they reply with an automated message that they should discuss it on the forums. This helps ArenaNET in two ways, it helps keep their email a bit less cluttered, as well as let them see how suggestions discussed in well thought-out posts on forums.

That's why people "complain" on these forums. But you know what? They're pointing out things that need to be fixed, such as EXPLOITS. It wouldn't be called a book "trick", as you constantly describe it as, if it wasn't an exploitable trick to make the game easier.

You're simply a loser. The sole fact that you're trying to say you're not trolling is just comical. I can't wait to see you whine when ArenaNET fixes this.

And calling me a loser isn't being a troll. Go home and whine to your mother, maybe she'll care. You're BS post adds nothing worth noting to this thread. Though it does raise the volume level of the moaning.

Besides you haven't pointed out how this EXPLOIT (your word) has caused you any harm. What needs to be fixed? The fact that you can't or won't watch as somebody else plays the game differently than you think it should be played? You're just another PvE RP'er that likes to hop on a bandwagon.
