Thanks for answering , I didn ' t know you wouldn ' t get any spirit shards if you don ' t have all the masteries unlocked and I have to agree with you that it should be fixed in one way or the other . Personally I am okay with locking masteries behind gates like that as long as the system doesn ' t force you to do that content just to be able to get spirit shards which are actually fairly important for general PvEWvW . <| sep |> Well , I understand your frustration . I had it happen plenty of times in the past when discussing Brexit on rUkPolitics althoug the mood seems to have shifted there after the referendum . I ' m very much against downvoting opinions you don ' t agree with . Downvoting obvious shitposts sure but it should be used very carefully . Unfortunately often the upvotedownvote buttons are used as a popularity contest . That being said , complaining about it will not change a thing and just completely kill of any constructive discussion that was going on .
