If you can pair it with some sort of crafting mat gathering, so much the better.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-61955491464467292442011-08-18T21:07:55.060-07:002011-08-18T21:07:55.060-07:00@ Blue Kae - That's one way to look at it. :)
...@ Blue Kae - That's one way to look at it. :)<br /><br />@ Hunter - Certainly, players weren't asking for a specific implementation. But their (our) desire for <em>something else</em> to do in the game was a strong motivator for ArenaNet. Of course, I neglected to talk about the Elite Missions that were later added. But in every case, I think ANet responded to their rather crazy customer base quite well.Marty Runyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456700794989273981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-31134803744575098322011-08-18T19:09:41.150-07:002011-08-18T19:09:41.150-07:00I'm not sure the players demanded titles as mu...I'm not sure the players demanded titles as much as they simply didn't object too much when they were added because for the most part they were and still are optional.<br /><br />This is coming from someone with 27 max titles though.Hunterhttp://huntersinsight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38541167.post-9373768613481281412011-08-18T18:49:25.777-07:002011-08-18T18:49:25.777-07:00Stupid players, they always ruin games.Stupid players, they always ruin games.Blue Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837719824734379806noreply@blogger.com
