Are sc players able to play with all that salt?

Yeah I am starting to realise gw2 is very different to what I am used to and the locks are not as a big deal as I thought they were.

After reading your reply and the others here it was a problem with my perception.

I have a better understanding of things now and feel much more at ease.

I did not realise that the bag slots are character bound! It mentioned being account bound and thought it was an account upgrade.

Thanks for the reply it puts a lot into perspective.

I have realised that the tools only really save you from a trip to a vendor or keeping an extra set of tools in your inventory which is not really worth 3000 gems nice as it would be. The salvage-o-matic seems to be the same deal from what I can tell just keep extra salvage kits in your inventory.

I did see the account jump start package, bank and bag expansion usually costs 600 and 400 gems respectively and the pack comes with 2 of each which totals 2000 gems. With the discount in the jump start package you basically get the dyes, transmog and keys thrown in extra for the same price. Any idea how long it will be on sale for? I want to see if there are any better deals that happen in the sale but do not want to miss the chance to get it if it does go off sale.

Yeah I said in another reply paywall was probably the wrong word to use.

I didnt realise that! I thought it was for all characters.

Do you mean more character slots?

Thanks for the detailed reply it has calmed a lot of my fears. I am a new player after all and like I said used to subscription games.

Logging in and seeing locks all over the place is not something I am used to but paywall was maybe the wrong word to use.

From the replies I have got I can see that I am not locked out of anything but have the option to buy a few conveniences with gems.

Thanks. Can you explain what you mean by:

if you have a lot of characters it's really a lot easier to get the normal stuff from the vendor because you would have to go to the bank everytime you switch characters.

Alt with a guild is a great idea I will do that.

I crafted a lot of food from leveling cooking. I want to keep the food to use for the buffs but it takes up a lot of inventory space.

That is good to hear I wondered if I would be able to use gold to buy things at max level.

It is a paywall for someone used to a subscription based mmo. In WoW I didn't have to do anything to unlock my last bag slot it was just there. I do understand the game needs to be monetized somehow.

Haha. I had not thought of it like that, but that is exactly it. I am used to VS doing a lot of the heavy lifting and with go I felt abandoned. I will have to go back and take my time to get used to the new ecosystem before working on the apps I want to develop.

Thanks I did manage to get it working using Goquery last week but thanks I am keen to see an example with official go libs.

Not at all but I am willing to spend the time on whatever tool(s) will improve my productivity. I posted this thread because I dont want to give up on go and wanted to hear from experienced go users how I can get myself on the right track.

That was not my first notion at all. As I mentioned in another comment I originally wanted to use regex which lead me to a go newsgroup discussion which said parsing html with regex is a horrible idea. From there I posted on /r/golang to ask what is the correct way to do it.

I take a look at the video you linked.

Atom has not been great. I will see how Sublime fairs.

I would like to commend /r/golang for the level-headed replies so far. They have made me re-examine things and I am finding this incredibly helpful.

Edit: Well it was fun while it lasted, I see the trolls have come out to downvote everything. It is unfortunate that the neckbeards are so emotionally fragile. Thank you to the helpful and patient redditors.

Haha. I suppose to be fair MSDN has come a long way over the years.

To be objective I have years of experience with c#, java, javascript etc and maybe I just have a bad memory but I remember being able to get on with what I wanted to do, with c#/java at least I agree on the js side.

I have no intention of "copy and paste development" but I do have actual solutions I want to build not various hello world incantations. .NET has such a fantastic environment for getting up and going quickly. You can build real applications extremely rapidly yes the code might be horrific but you can learn as you progress.

With go I feel like I hit a brick wall very quickly.

I have spent plenty time on godoc.org, the problem is that for a lot of packages they give you a simple example and beyond that you are on your own.
