Let me provide you with the second side of the same coin.

Would you be ok with fighting on Russia's side? Do you think that after the war you should have the same standing as the ones, who were doing anything to avoid being conscripted?

Because, see, every war is at the very fucking best (read: not realistic) consists of one side that is righteous, and one that is not. Realistically, the chances of you being on the "right" side of it are excruciatingly small. But given conscription, you are denied of choice during that time, your feelings and believes on that matter are not considered at all - you are just a cog. And nobody gives a damn about cogs.

I wouldn't want to change the time, really. As for the location - mostly anywhere in the current EU, preferably - Germany/Austria/Finland/Netherlands in no particular order?

Not the one you have been asking, but you can eigher install Lutris, and then install GW2 from there, or download it on Steam. Those are 2 fairly straightforward ways. If you have an ArenaNet account (rather than an account binded to Steam), but still want to use Steam as your launcher - just write "-provider Portal" in launch options.

As someone who is right now working from abroad by necessity - this idea is full of shit.

Yes, you won't get a chance to properly enjoy your time away, you will always have time constrains (remember - you still need to work, and it's still on top of your priority list), you will only get to enjoy the country like 2h a day (or whatever you had before as "me" time - that time didn't change much) .

Assuming you are not going out far from your usual timezone - you will basically only enjoy it in the evenings, and if you are adventurous enough to move very far away from your original timezone - gl, because now you will have all the timezone mess upon you and possibly are working in the unusual hours.

In short: your work will suffer, you will suffer, you won't get to enjoy your vacation and the country and on top of that - this will cost you more money than you usually pay! What a steal (literally).

Sorry - my reply won't be really helpful to you, but I still want to say it because I think I have a bit different perspective on that problem and maybe that will be of use to someone.

I actually use that "forgot for half a year" approach to "curate" my wishlist. I usually aggresively wishlist a bunch of games during game events and so on, and then, about once a year I return to my wishlist and ask myself, if I still remember what were in those games that caught my eye, are they still interesting to me? If I do not, and looking at trailer and/or screenshots does not hype me up again, then it does not worth spending on (at least right now). Then I remove those that I decided to not play at all from the wishlist.

Still remember my first phone, Motorola C200 (I think?). This pebble of a phone was solid, you could probably get away with using it as a hammer a few times. Not as sturdy as that legendary Nokia, but still.

Sadly, considering where I lived (not US, and not EU), I strongly believe that nobody would give a damn about the report.

We had one of our lectors straight up tell us in front of full class (18 ppl: 16 guys and 2 gals), that we are going to use our diplomas as a hot pot stand. And we are here just for show, to hook up with smart guys. Yes, those were his exact words.

Nothing in me or the other girl suggested that we were attending lections to flirt with someone. Especially knowing that both of us were quite diligent students.

He also was very open and proud about him being sexist. It's still baffling to me that people like that exist, succeed, and have a bloody confidence to take pride in their shittiness.

Ooh! Yeah, that's a lot😂 Do not remeber how long it took me to get through PoF, but it took me and my bf around 3 evenings to get through EoD on launch. So it's not too long (but of course, it depends on how much time you have to spare every single day).

Yeah, I think it will surely take copious amounts of T6 mats - that's for sure.

Good call! I still can't believe they seemingly "forgot" that leg runes existed. Two of my friends actually just finished their leg runes a month before expac announcement. They are very bitter right now (and rightfully so).
