I did some digging to find out that, they are not in fact "sold out", but they halted sales because of some serious security issues currently going on....thats concerning.

I guess users who bought the game are receiving A TON of phishing emails...

Kinda sucks as i wanted to try it. Little concerning because makes me think ArenaNet was breached and all those email accounts were harvested.

Damn, that sucks.

Yeah, I got the email.. Basically, the scammers are using their database of all past mmo's emails and passwords and trying to get into accounts..

So a couple things about crafting...

If you're putting off crafting, reconsider. If you stay on top of it the gear you make is good. I have pieces sitting in my bag waiting for when I hit 20. And with discoveries you can focus on stat stacking (ie precision for me) instead of just equipping the best of what drops with random stats.

Also, with effective leveling, you don't gain a lot by putting it off. It's not like you can go back and start 1-shotting lvl 5 mobs to farm mats. Power leveling a profession won't be as fast as it might be in other games.

Also curious about salvage kits. I've been using the kits a few steps above the cheapest one, and I'm not sure I see much difference. I get what the tooltip claims, but does anyone have info on how to select the right salvage kit for what you are salvaging?

I have salvaged about a 100items with the 3rd tier one and I do not see a difference between the cheapest one.. It could be bugged.. Of course it might also matter the higher level you get.. I mean, there is not hardly any good items in the lower levels to salvage maybe??

My problem, is the AH still being down.. my bank is full of gear and mats I don't use.. I need that thing up so I can make more then what the vendor price is..

Also, it is a bug or weird luck.. Out questing, my bags got full.. Then proceeded to get 2yellows,5greens and 7 blues in like 15 kills of normals mobs, which made me delete shit gear I vendor.. I will try replicating it again.. But it was a fun while it lasted, got three upgrades from that little two minute killing spree..

Also forgot to mention, crafting stations also serve as bank access. Take advantage of it when you are in a place that has them.

I'm not sure what you by that. You can deposit crafting mats into your bank from anywhere in the world. You can do it by right-clicking on the item individually or by clicking the little gear icon on the top right corner of your inventory window to deposit everything in one click.

You can make withdrawals and deposits of not just "collectables" at crafting stations. All bank transactions. Except guild bank.

Yeah, I have not even found the normal bank, I just use the crafting station..

Also, what is a good rate for coin to gem rate? I am running out of bank space..

ya I'm level 65 hunstman and level 45 leatherworker. It takes a while to get the things you need. Discovery is the best way for sure to level up faster. Getting the tiny scales, totums, etc that I need for the stat item are kinda tough to get enough of them. Waiting for the trading post to go back up to get those harder to find things I need.

Hello.

Let me introduce you into todays world of MMO hacking and phishing.

I want to start off by saying that the fact you said that you think email/pw combos have been taken from Anet shows you dont pay attention to gaming news. What is happening in gw2 is the same thing that happened to d3. Next, the % of accounts that have been compromised is in the tenths of 1% of total game accounts, and they have all been compromised becuase people dont follow day 1 kindergarten account security suggestions.

ALL of the MILLIONS of email/pass combos that these hackers are using are from the same list they have recently used against wow and d3. ALL of those name/pw combos where taken from ill secured fan sites, forums, and even non-gaming sites that had security vulnerabilities. In fact, there are MANY hacking groups out there that have been sold the original lists and nearly all have been secured. Out of those MILLIONS of accounts, very very very few have yielded an actually hacked account. And ONLY if you are using the same email/pw combo you have used on other ill secured websites!

Dont be a chicken little, and dont use the same password for everything. If you want a secure account, create a new email address with a unique pw and register it.

there ya go. Play the game.

edit; they didnt stop digital sales because of security concerns - they stopped becuase of server population concerns, They didnt want to give players bad service becuase there where too many of them. That being said AFAIK only the digital downloads bought at guild wars are turned off, other retailers, as long as they have cd keys left, should still be selling them. Try Amazon.
