So I think my exp monthly did reset. Fuck this, no guild panel, no mail, no TP, laggy WvW.... I'm going to sleep.
And I was like 15k away too ffs.

Well that's gonna get Arena Net a lot of bad press.
I like Kripp cause I'm a D3 player, but I don't think he has as much "public power" as some of the nerds on his Mumble server think.
Kripp is a cool guy but seriously, the other guys in his guild are complete losers.

Oh, no way... Guess I'll have to do it by quickly leveling up my second crafting profession one day or something. Maybe if the TP ever comes back up.

Is there a guide to crafting anywhere? I don't 'get' it at all

Someone posted this for me. Great guide.

What are you doing to get the money? The heart quests usually give like a silver a piece, the dynamic events give next to no cash, and the junk I find is worth minimal also.

Welp, glad I'm finally in guild. However, when I try guild chat or bank it says I'm not. I'll just assume part of ongoing issues still and play the waiting game. Good night, all.

"edit: So there was an exploit with jalapeno poppers???"
Not really. You could basically sell your crafted cooking stuff to a vendor. Since all crafting mats with some exceptions are bought from karma merchants, you could turn all of your karma into gold at a pretty absurd exchange rate. To be honest, I think they should've just let it rock or alter the vendor price of cooking products. Gold isn't really the most important currency in this game, karma is.

Anyone have anymore information on legendary weapons? 
I read http://gaiscioch.com/tavern/guildwars_crafting/post_35198.html which was pretty good, but if it's correct I might have to change crafting disciplines :x.
Edit: Nevermind I've decided!
That is pretty awesome if true!

oh i get it. I can't believe they didn't think of that ahead of time.
i believe you retain any progress in professions, it just costs a fee to change one of your "active" ones.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I've definitely purchased more things of value with karma than I have with money.

Exploiting glitches and obviously unintended design flaws is against the Terms of service of pretty much any online game. If people did it then they abused the game's system, they deserved their ban and have no right to complain.
You will not exploit any bug in Guild Wars 2 and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Guild Wars 2.

Since you can trade gold for gems, i can clearly see why Arena.net would ban those using this "trick".
Don't agree. If its in the system to do, then I assume it's there by design. I cannot read the minds of the developers to tell if their karma to gold exchange ratio is intended or not. If it's there, I assume that it's meant to be there.

The gold to gem trading is dynamic. Even if people got a ton of gold via this method, it would just change the exchange rate. At worse, they'd just need to hotfix and reset the exchange rate to something more apt for the amount of money people could make.

Now that's just hypocrisy/acting dumb. Feel free to try and exploit bugs, but don't say you haven't been warned.
Quite.

It wasn't a bug. It wasn't an exploit.

lol wut.
How is it a bug? I can't buy one thing with one currency, then sell it somewhere else with another currency. Both are legitimate parts of the game. They are working parts of a system.

I have to say I agree. I don't see how it's any different from selling the greens you get in PvP crates in SWTOR for credits.
The correct fix for this is to issue a patch to decrease the price vendors give for the "offending" item.

"The correct fix for this is to issue a patch to decrease the price vendors give for the "offending" item."
It wasn't even one item. It was all cooking items.

Then patch them all. It does rather look like the person who got banned got banned for publicizing it. I'm half-OK with that.
God I wish Amazon would deliver my copy of this. Living vicariously through you guys is getting me down.

"How much was stuff selling for? The crafted cooking material bits sold for total garbage. I don't remember finished items even having a sell value."
For this particular item, it was about 25 silver for a stack of 250. The "exploit" is that you can make thousands of them very easily because the karma price for the material is really cheap (21 karma for a pack of 25 of the core material, the other is bought from the master chef), thus getting several dozens of gold.
"And the cooking stuff is worth the money. Cooking buffs are really good in this game."
Absolutely. Steak and Asparagus is +80 power and +60 precision for 30 minutes. At level 80, that's basically an extra piece of armor's worth of stats.

"Does Guild Wars make a distinction between primary and secondary professions/crafting skills like WoW, or would cooking occupy one of the two crafting slot skills?"
The latter, however you can drop a profession at any time and if you come back to it, your progress isn't halted.

Yeah, I have came across a few people in the server from GAFP or something, Gaming Age Ponies.
Still face down, and at some point yesterday the mail service fell over too. Getting pretty annoyed at this point.

The length at which the social features have been down is definitely irritating. I'm sure a lot of people at ArenaNet are pulling several nights without sleep to get these up, but it is definitely annoying.
