Fun fact - This is actually an errant gadget (a type of content object that is used to place mechanics in the world). Whenever designers place a new gadget, it automatically gets assigned this "turkey raptor" by default, because it was an obvious signifier to the team that it's placeholder art and needs to be reviewed. It was also not uncommon practice to hide some content objects in the air, since at launch players couldn't have ever gotten this high. I'm sure skyscales will turn up all SORTS of hidden designer tricks. :-P

From what I heard, Evon had a bit too much fun at the Festival of the Four Winds and missed his airship home. With all the merchants packing up, there's also no longer anyone to tend to the waypoints or set him up with an Asura Gate.

So, he had to hop on a passing boat instead, and you know how such travels go... Crying progeny, mediocre food, weather delays... Poor charr is probably having loads of fun.

We expect he'll be back to work in Lion's Arch soon!

This is awesome! Good work =)

Which ones are your favorite? That's not giving away anything, right!?

That’s tricky...

I’m gonna have to go with “Free!” I can also confirm that everyone who plays BINGO will be able to use this space. 😜

Are you f**king kidding me? Do you even know how raid selling works?

You guys are only fine with the whole raid selling spiel, because you get people paying real money for gems.

At least be honest you muppet.

I have no idea why any kind of personal attacks are needed here. I was hoping to show the difference - which is indeed between group content to be cleared and that which is not. Clearing any group instance which requires grouping is the goal. Thus - Looking for Group.

In the case of the OP, 'clearing' was not the goal, as a home instance does not have a group goal to achieve.

However, as this is now the level we have reached, I'll respectfully remove myself from this conversation. :3

Hi there,

Been years since I used SMS to authenticate. I'm using the Google 2FA app for codes. For some reason I could only input 5 digits on the website using the office computer but it's fine when I got back home to use my home computer. Still not sure what caused the issue.

I see. Glad you got it sorted :)

Are you receiving the code via text msg? If so, it can be easy to confuse the verification code (5 digits) with the phone number the code is sent from (6 digits).

so would making a group like:

<LFG exploring home instance 1g>

be fine? as the 1g is my requirement for forming the group

or if that isn't 'instanced content', why not just make it

<LFM roleplaying in homeinstance with mining picks, 1g>

Since there is a roleplaying tab in lfg, I assume roleplaying is 'content'

C'mon. That's still a sale of a home instance, which is not group content. And I am very sure you know that, too, right? :3

While the intent behind this rule is very clear and well motivated, the distinction between raid selling and home instance selling seems to be somewhat arbitrary/unclear to me.

In both cases, there are no goods sold directly, but a service (clearing a raid for you or access to a special area) which rewards goods (raid loot/achievements or materials).

One is to form a group, which is needed, to clear group content. One is not.

So, am I allowed to post on LFG to invite others to a full home instance for free? That is, not selling or buying (including donations or tips), just to be nice to allow others to come and join with me?

No. Home instances are not considered group content.

I recall at one point (unsourced, so take it for what it's worth), there was a red post on the official forums about this.
LFG selling is accepted for content only, which means raids/dungeons. It was specifically not for trading or home instance access, because those are not "content". You're still allowed to receive tips, but you're not permitted post home node access to LFG. Been like that for a while.

Based on the GM response, if you were to announce in /map or /say that you were selling home access, that might not get you in trouble? But also expect to get shouted down or reported for spam.

All of the above!

Which basicly means everything from buying/selling VIA THE LFG, no matter if you only want to buy decorations for your guildhall, selling raids, or anything else is against the policy.

To clarify on this: LFG is not a sales tool. It is a tool to form groups for events, raids, instanced content and so forth. LFG stands for "Looking for Group" - that needs to be the main goal.

If you are forming a group (like a raid), you may adverse it as it as such. You did not offer to sell a raid - you offered to sell goods. The intent of your LFG posting was not to find other players to explore content with, I reviewed that ticket (as well as the warning that was sent to you via email in ticket 7435456).

Please also note that "raid selling" is rife with scamming, and in most cases, the Customer Support team cannot help if a player is being scammed, as we do not officially allow such 'sales'. They are at a player's own risk.

Kookoochoo the Inauspicious.

Hehe, but yes he's been inkarcerated since last year. Only time will tell what the final fate will be for this kooky entertainer.
