Got the email back from the support ticket:
There goes 42k karma
Wow.
I think this is part of the reason they didn't just do a rollback with the karma weapon fiasco. They need to get a ssytem up for this like yesterday.

"My point still stands though. I assume you are too busy having fun with WvW to care about your issues with PvE, and fun is fun."
Well yeah, but if other people are predominantly PvE players and are disappointed by the PvE, that's that. The PvE was never the hook for me.

shit i didnt know that, been stacking so many speed bonuses...
They've recovered accounts and items for people that were hacked right? I'm sure they have a way to do it, but it's the simple fact that if they admit to it and give in to a few people they will inevitably be swamped with requests. There are situations they should have exceptions for, but in the business world consistency is generally more important for various reasons (whether good or bad for consumers).
Does it not extend the duration?
Aye, I wish they'd fix it though I imagine sorting that issue out is quite low on the totem pole.

People bought a guild wars game to PvE? :lol
The way I saw it was that GW2 added some PvE flavor but the series has always had a major PvP focus. They just made the PvE side of the game not as dull as it was before.

Well, ArenaNet and quite a few fans hyped it up a lot. Personal story with several (faux) story branches, dynamic events/hearts, etc. etc.

The whole pet panel seems pretty messy to be honest.
Still, even if names don't store if I see a ranger rolling with an unnamed pet I think less of them as a person.
I played nothing but PvE in Guild Wars and enjoyed the heck out of it.

I wish people would do some research before dropping cash on stuff.It's there, some people enjoy it, but you can't tell me it was the main focus. Which is all I'm saying.
Swiftness does, but I think they mean traits that say "move faster out of combat" do not stack over swiftness. There's probably something like a 25% speed increase cap that the total of boons and traits can't go over.

I think it was their main focus, or, at worst, on par with WvWvW. If you compare the amount of content, attention and detail put into the PVE experience to that of the sPVP experience, it weighs heavily on the PVE side.
My experience with Guild Wars is pretty limited considering I only discovered it a month or two before GW2 launch, but there seems to be a vast amount of PvE. The only PvPish experience I saw was when I ran some type of arena style PvP with npc's to get points to unlock skills from late/other campaigns.
I'm really glad I did play it though, and do plan to go back and play more as I only finished two campaigns. I really think what I did play though made me enjoy GW2 a lot more and I would urge anyone burning out on GW2 that didn't play the original to give it a try. Hell, get some gold and trade me some gems and I'll buy it for you.

Gotta build hype somehow
All balance of the game will go towards pvp and how that effects pve most likely wont matter to them. The trait system and talents all that stuff is pure pvp min max shit.
I liked it for the npc party members was a nice little feature. The single player was thought out and a full experience, but it wasn't the focus. Specially with the original release.
I'm a bit confused on some event bosses. Do they ever drop loot? Some of these guys take about 30 mins to take down and it's a bit of a let down when they drop nothing. I'm just asking because I won't waste my time fighting a guy if you really don't get anything except exp. and a bit of cash.

Lost connection to server. Noooo
If it's a meta event boss then there should be a huge chest around the vicinity with rare items.
Does anyone have some tips for playing a mesmer in a dungeon scenario? I feel like as I get higher level I am missing something as I don't really feel like I output as much damage/help other team members and though I am pretty good at dodging attacks 1-2 hits from almost anything now knocks me down.
Any tips on what weapons I should be using/ stats to stack/ strategies to help my team the most? Thanks in advance.

Not really. Actually, not at all.
PVP experience will help you greatly in PVE combat. A lot of PVP concepts will help you in PVE. Proper kiting and peeling work very well in dungeons. Proper interrupts and counters help a great deal in all aspects of the game.
So balancing for PVP won't hurt PVE. Not just because they can split skill numerics between PVE and PVP, but because the PVE experience was built around the same combat philosophy as the PVP experience.
As a Mesmer, my trait that makes my phantasms have a chance to apply regeneration to nearby enemies is a very helpful support bonus in PVP. It is also very helpful for group survivalbility in PVE. If I drop a iWarden at melee range and an iWarlock at my range then I can apply regeneration to both melee and ranged allies. This helps groups survival a good deal in PVE. If I take the Focus trait that reduces focus cooldowns and makes my focus skills reflect projectiles then it's a great counter to range nukers in PVP, but also very helpful with those PVE encounters that present a buttload of ranged mobs.
Now, they make tweak the healing coeffecient on the regeneration the Mesmer trait gives between PVE and PVP, but the concept is not just a PVP one.

Let's be real.
Engineer or Ranger.
Engineer or Ranger.
engineer, no contest
Engineer is just a lot more interesting than ranger, imho.
I've only done maybe five dungeon runs total and only the first two dungeons.
I think Staff is such a good all around weapon that its always useful in dungeons. If you feel confident enough with your ability to handle melee, then you can use sword to snare foes with iLeap swap. Pistol's interrupt is useful on certain fights, and if you have a Guardian or Ele, the iDuelist projectiles will trigger beneficial combo finishers at a good rate. If you are fighting a boss you need to kite, the Greatsword's Berseker will cripple a target routinely until it dies. If you take the increased Phantasm attack rate trait then it will cripple at a higher frequency. The Focus is very good versus pesky ranged mobs, as is Mirrored Feedback.
There's situations where you need good condition removal, so equip Null Field and Phantasmal Disenchanter for those fights.
And Time Warp should be your default elite unless a situation presents the need for something else. It's pretty much Heroism for finishing off bosses.

They do but I was also using a signet that increases move speed be 10% as well as a trait that increases move speed by 20% when I have a dagger out (counterstrike reference?)

I am having such a hard time as a Necromancer in PvP. I feel completely useless to the team at the moment. Definitely can see having to switch with staffs but man, I just don't know.
Its bugged for me. 10 second base swap - with the -5 second trait makes it... 10 seconds aaaaand I still get no might on swap :|
Unless you've got some serious coordination - with the myriad of condition removals each class has both self and support - its not the easiest if you build on conditions. PvP seems more about spike/burst atm... though you never mentioned your spec but staff is very AOE condition heavy so...
I really like ranger. Can solo relatively easily, pet can tank most things except bosses (which 1 hit ko most things anyways), good at kiting. Can MELEE
I haven't tried engineer yet tho.
Bug out on you or simply didnt get anything good?
We spent like 2h doing a jumping puzzle and when we finally did it only 1 person got loot -.-'
That too, but I'm saying, we got no loot AT ALL.
Lvl 80 loot.
I am absolutely terrible at those things. The only one ive done is the one in metrica and I think it took me like 4 hours. Well, i did the norn starter one, but that doesnt really count since its such a joke
Mostly Lvl 80 loot.
Man as difficult and bullshit as that was, I had fun with it (I was Geflato btw). By the end I didn't even care about the loot. I just wanted to finish it just to beat it lol.

Yet another personal story bug I found, this time in Forging the Pact :/ fighting stupid amounts of undead just for it to bug out so near the end.

Engineer is incredibly fun at level 6 alone with grenade and med kits. Never had such fun, and such maneuverability, with the kits having no cooldown it was easy to switch to them whenever the need had arisen.
