Wanted to play GW2 on my Linux Laptop (Steam Proton is easier than setting up the original Launcher), also thought about buying a Steamdeck in the future. No, you cant lauch the 2 different Versions at the same time and based on a quick Google Search, most Multilaunch Tools (GW2Buddy, GW Multi-Launch, GW Launcher) dont seem to support Steam Login.

I think they moved all JPs to the weekly category, and left mini dungeons in the dailies. Also seems like the pool of minidungeons is only Spirit Vestibule, Vexas Lab or The long way around.

If its for the “do X events” weekly: the EoD map Dragons End, has a minidungeon called “Trial of the Elders”. You need a Jade Bot Mastery to enter and it containes a total of 8 very fast events (they count as events but give no loot/xp), they can be done in a group or solo (recommend power reaper for solo play).

They gave away keys for the core game a few years ago so there are a lot of ~1 Dollar accounts out there but yeah completly agree with you

True. Before 1 alt was able to get ~225 Gold in mats in 3 months just by logging in, now its 75 Gold in the same time. However this same account is now able to generate 150-200+ Gold (partially in mats), in addition to the 75 Gold, within just 2-4 hours of gameplay in 3 months, with no setup beyond a high enough level character in cheap gear. This makes alt farming one of the best possible farms in the game. Especially if you are able to use ToS complient multiboxing (which can currently be used to do pretty much all pvp dailies on multiple accounts in 10 minutes by having them in your own private Custom Arena).

Maybe. The Bloodstones might be out of Dragonblood yes. But the mental projetion of characters makes little sense to me especially since Livia knew Isgarren and the wizards way before Aurene was born. For the illness/madness of Dragons I think void/the accumulation of, non nativ, magic over time is to blame. Altough Aurene beeing able to use Palawas magic and not suffering from any side effects is not logic at all.
