Did they buff the bleeding shot with rifles? I really don't recall it stacking that much and putting out that kind of damage, when it's 10x ( Even hits 12-13x at times ) stacked it's like 2-3 people are hitting the mob I'm fighting as the bleed damage is insane. I barely even use my other abilities now, just have to auto-fire and the mob goes down quicker than ever.
Maybe I just haven't noticed?

I think this game is quite sloppy for a "final" release actually, which is why I am defending their patching process. Trading Post missing launch and still being unstable is inexcusable. Many events, story quests, and skill points being un-activateable/broken/freezing during certain steps is inexcusable. The game still not being well optimized and utilizing way too much CPU and barely any GPU, resulting in lower than normal FPS for many people (including me) is inexcusable. These are all big problems I see with the game, but also ones they have been slowly working on and improving due to these daily patches. I have already noticed progress on all these fronts over the past week...it would have really sucked to wait on them till a specified day when they were ready to roll out.
Not to mention they have also contained new features that are useful like "Leave Queue" for Overflow prompts and crafting from Bank resources.
People really aren't that good and since it's 8v8 it becomes a clusterfuck pretty quick. It's good for quick fun and testing out builds. Tournaments are quite a bit harder, since you need some co-ordination to actually get the wins.

Are there any GAF Guild GMs/officers online? I want to join the guild. I'm currently an Engineer charr named Jhamadarr.
Na or EU?

NA, Crystal Desert
I thought we had one GAF guild and then one overflow guild. Are there now 2 Guilds one for NA or EU?
Or why is that question relevant?
Well, most of the 80 exotics come with runes so you get 6 bonuses for having a full set (or at least a set of armor with 6 of the same runes slotted).

There is now a dedicated EU guild.
Really?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I dont get the level scaling mentioned in the op. if you are always auto scaled then why have levels at all and not just skills and gear to advance? It sounds like they implemented it later in development making parts of it wasted work? Unless there are restrictions and things I miss.
Anyway, what game is the gameplay closest to? Wow or more action a la Tera or PSO or MonHun or that korean source based online action rpg or?

The GAF guild event last evening in the Orr was awesome! Look at all these sweet champion mobs we took down. I hope that everyone who participated can spot themselves. 
scaling only goes downwards. there is still 80 levels of zones, gear, and earning trait points. It makes it so players don't quite out level all the content in the game and may cut down on the waste of six races having their own starter areas for example.
the game is fast and has dodging and kiting but still feels like a hotkey driven mmo but with less bloat.

Ah, ok, I thought it meant you scale up to catch up with your friends too, but they only scale down to your level instead.
But I imagine they still won't be too eager to do low level content again, since the gear etc will be useless to them?
I didn't like gw1's feel much, this is very different? They should do a demo thing. Dungeon, boss sp and coop.

No matter what map your in, the loot drops according to your real level. So level 10 area will drop level 60+- loot etc.

Seriously, one of the strongest professions is getting a nerf? (And buffs alonside nerfs...)
That heal should always be rupted, it's way too strong and there's already other means to apply stability.Seriously, one of the strongest professions is getting a nerf? (And buffs alonside nerfs...)
a few pages back I listed quite a few faults on the guardian. also, a 5 second cast time? No way you'll get it off now. The class has been receiving nerfs every patch. where's the hundred blades nerf or maybe something along the lines of a reduction of speed gained from quickness.
reiterate: terrible ranged capibilities, low health, no escape mechanism, no cripple, unable to spec into condition damage since burning doesn't stack well.
I'm guessing this nerf is meant for PvP?
Sigil of bloodlust on my warrior is the best thing ever.
It stacks +5 to power with every mob you kill, goes up to 25 stacks, and it lasts until you are downed. I'm not sure if you can use multiples of these sigils.
A single sigil of this pretty much makes me run around with +125 power constantly, and it has made me feel completely overpowered at my current level, seeing as I already have a Power/Precision/Crit damage build.
Erm, is sword dual wielding bugged? Bought two one handers, one in the main hand and the other in off-hand but the attacks look just like attacks with one sword and the damage as well, the off-hand sword doesn't even get used?
What am I missing here
EDIT: Oh, so first 3 skills are for one weapon, last 2 are for the other / both.
Eh.

The few I've gotten always seem to have numerous sellers at that level. This game's economy is nothing like WoW so far. It's great when I'm buying, and annoying when I'm selling.
Yea, I'm not selling anything until this toilet economy settles. Just picked up another rare for 1s. Christ.
I think I equipped less than 10 rare items on my way to 80.

I sometimes wonder if it would be worth it to save up, then buy the whole TP clear of one specific item and sell it again for 10x the 'original' price. People just click "match lowest seller" anyway, even if they would get more profit at a freaking npc.
I keep thinking that every minute of every day. I could either make a very poor decision or I could be filthy rich if the economy sky rockets in a few weeks
a lot of people list certain items at one bronze higher then npc price. which is stupid considering with listing fee they're making less than npc.
what annoys me is the crazy inflation on crafting mats tho. you can pay 1 silver a pop on 8 tiny claws (8silver) to craft an item worth like... 2 silver total. grr.
Look, a full party heal that couldn't be dazed, knocked down, etc, was bad. Don't get defensive whenever your class gets fixed.
It depends on the amount of supply coming in. Keep in mind that for every item selling at vendor price there are people smart enough not to list it that low that don't even list the item at all because the price isn't worth it. If the price were 10 times vendor they would definitely not vendor the item and would list it instead.
If there is only a small stack preventing you from listing your item, say 3x vendor price, it makes sense to just buy all 3 items then list higher. The worst that can happen is you lose list fee on one item then 1c on each item you bought out (from vendoring it). The best case is you sell at 3x vendor price for all 4 of your items. This works if there is a small block but any big stacks are probably not worth it/too risky.

This seems all correct, but I wonder how on earth the economy of Guild Wars 2 should get to a reasonable standard then. Almost every item I checked seems to be sold in the hundreds, if not thousands/ten-thousands, and every new seller tries to match or undermine the current lowest price. With all servers in one auction house, there seems be be way more supply than demand on most items, even the supposedly 'rare' ones, and I don't see a way how the economy could ever recover from this.
Dunno, maybe I'm missing something or overthinking it in general, but when a piece of copper ore is more valuable than a level 55 green, I'm kinda wondering.
I'd expect that to be included some time in the future. The reason why linking and preview doesn't work with TP currently is probably because the TP seems to be a bit different from the game and uses something akin to HTML. They also need to fix the UI scaling on TP since it doesn't scale properly when you use the UI size options. The preview window was implemented not too much before launch so maybe there's more work to be done that too.

Not really, Steam does the same thing for obvious reasons [account hacking].
Guess your right. I was just thinking in case you were asking for support on something account specific that it'd just require an extra verification process that it's actually you which could be annoying but again but then again, probably few examples of that.
