I was disappointed to see botters/scripters on my server. They were hanging out in Kessex Field near the bridge event and had a script executing to just AOE Nuke everything around them. This ensured that they continually got exp from the event when it was completed. ANet is pretty harsh on that sort of thing, it's cleaerly defined that "unattended" play isn't permitted and is ban worthy. I just don't get it - why even play the game if you're not going to play the game? I know they were botting because there's nothing else of interest there and when you see 25+ people in one are AOE Nuking absolutely nothing, it kind of looks suspicious.
I bought the toolkit skill last night - kind of disappointed with it. It feels really really weak unless you're healing turrets in which case, there's no way a heal of ~25 to a turret will outlast a mob beating on it. I guess it's more of a later game thing where you have major +heal available. Oh well, skill point areas are easy enough. I did 2 events last night that ended with a champion fight which is the closest to an actual boss I've come to. They take a ridiculous beating and only scale more when more people show up - There was a Champion overlord Centaur that I came across and man did he take a pounding from 35 of us or so. Same complaints about large scale rights remain, if I use something like my grenade kit where I must target every skill with the mouse, it's very very hard to do because of all the ability effects displaying on/near the boss. Still a freaking blast.

I find that if If I do that, I'm usually outleveling (despite being down-leveled to the content) and don't have any issues leaving and moving onto the next area. I haven't hit any snags with this idea in mind. It keeps the game grind free.

But I am completing each area for the 100% reward. (I know some say to wait because the rewards scale with level, but I am having a hard time as it is now without it) I probably think crafting is my issue. I havent actually looked to see what each offer and I have yet crafted anything. For the most part you have pointed out why and that the TP. If it isnt readily available crafting may just be that money sink, money thats not easily obtainable.
Also what are you guys doing with your Karma purchased gear that you have out-leveled or replaced? I havent found a vendor that buys the stuff back, are you storing it or just destroying it?
This past weekend I was able to purchase 2 - 15 slot linen bags for my character. But I havent figured out a way to expand the bank space. I dont see where you can drop bags into it.

I have spent some karma on ingredients in bulk so that I can craft some cooking items.What are you guys doing with your Karma purchased gear that you have out-leveled or replaced?

I chose Eredon Terrace as my homeworld, but I see that TR folks have picked Henge of Denravi for their homeworld. I went to transfer just now, and Henge of Denravi is full! Does that mean that future TR members who pick this game up are going to be cut off from the others?
