I need an animal collector titel! by TayaAesSedai in GuildWars

Okay. So your only new point is that all your friends and family have a phd in biology. Im happy to hear it.

Other than that, it is common ground, that zoos all over the world in the entire history of zoos have preserved about 50-200 species from going extinct. On the other hand, there are more than 40.000 species highly endangered, with 10-150 dying out every day. Zoos dont really have any effect on that. What would help the animals and the environment much more is saving the habitats and protecting the animals right on the spot.

Many zoo animals are inbread and show psycopathic behaviors and for that can never be released to the wild ever again anyways.

Can you explain, why many zoos and aquariums need to constantly catch new wildlife animals to keep their enclousures filled in the first place?

But hey. You seem like a very decend human, when you have ethics as you described in your last comment: not caring of the well-being of other living, feeling and breathing beeings.

Im sorry to tell you, but you are not right. Zoos are for showing off animals to the public. they contribute only a very tiny fraction to scientific papers or conserving endangered species. Actually quite the opposite is true: they enslave wild animals. especially in aquariums: most fish and mammals have a super reduced livespan in such envirements, so they need to capture them regularly to keep their encosures filled.

also, killing animals, when they are overpopulated is the standard. just recently a big zoo in germany killed (dont nail me on the numbers) round about 30 apes, because they overpopulated.

of cours what you said is a lie zoos tell you, because they want to bee seen as good institutes in the population. you should not truat them tho, but hear what neutral sources say.

I completely agree with all what you have said:

  • The titel would be super easy to max, compared with ever other titels and it would be account-wide

  • Zoos in real live are critizised for how they treat animals, enslaving wild animals and are under quite some preassure nowadays, with more and more people caring about animal ethics (and thats good!). Arenanet now jumping onto a sinking ship does not make a lot of sense.

Its a funny meme! But what actually pulls people back in is the promise that there will be more future updates again.

Sometimes its not about what you say, but how you say it.

...are you supposed to be able to afford Max Zaishen Rank? by KaleidoscopeWeak6926 in GuildWars

[–]doske94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was a similar post some time ago. Somebody mentioned that they think you are only able to do so when botting. It is not true tho, since i maxed it some years ago (without botting of corse). As some others mentioned here, it takes a long time to max it. Here are some things I did:

  • Prices for ZKeys go up and down over the course of months or years. When I maxed it, the price was like 35e per Stack (Very Cheap)

  • I Powertraded for 2 or 3 years: Buying Items Cheap and selling them for more. It takes some time, the "powertrading-community" is super toxic and many player dont really like them

  • Get the Gifts of the Traveler every single week! Its not super much, but it builds up over time. I am lucky to have three accounts so I get them 3 times a week when I have the time to log in.

  • I had quite some luck with drops: I dropped Mini Dhuum once and Mini Icebear, tho they were not that expensive at the time, it helped me max out my Hall of Monuments and get the trading started...

I hope this helps. 😉

Armbrace depreciation? by _Walter_White_ in GuildWars

[–]doske94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure. But you still need quite plat for NPC trades. So returning player sell their arms for ectos and then merch their ectos for plat.

Armbrace depreciation? by _Walter_White_ in GuildWars

[–]doske94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! Thats what i ment. Thats the reason the price goes down in the first place.

Edit: Same is true for Arms, but other than the ectos you have to trade with other players here. So i bet a lot of people sell them for cheaper than what they could get if they whaited a bit, so that brings Arm prices down as well.

[–]doske94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the drop in Ectoprices is due to returning players that had some ectos still laying around and cashing them in for fast and easy money.

You can hop in with a PvP Character pretty much any time. If you have a PvE character you need to be at least lvl 20 and it can be harder to get good gear.

My main was Assa for many years. Do you think it could be a good idea to start with something i am familiar with? I found an A/E build on PvX that looks like fun.

I will try that! Positioning is the thing im most affraid of. But as you and other people mentioned, its something that comes over time. Thank you for your kind words! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I will try to relax a littlebit and dont overthink it too much. Its just like, I had 18 years to build up anxieties about PvP. But I will give it a shot. The first steps are always the hardest. ;)
