Yeah GT was a bit over the top, but I did like Vegeta's mustache scene and how he called Chi-Chi an idiot lol!

So yeah... I'll claim the original DB and Yamcha as my favs of the franchise any day.
Well that makes more sense, I started of with Z so the original felt tame and too different so I didn't stick with it. GT was really...something I guess. watched it but wasn't a huge fan. So mostly a DGBZ guy here and Yamcha was pretty useless.
That and watch Team Four Stars parody's of DGBZ on youtube if you haven't already. Its fantastic.
I don't like how they kept tossing old characters by the wayside and how Goku and Vegeta stole the show when it counted. I mean, during GT they could have had Piccolo finish off one dragon, Krillin another, Gohan another, etc. DBZ heavily implied that by the GT era Gohan would be the strongest and everyone thought he'd be the star of some next generation, but... Goku leads in GT as well. I mean, I like Goku and he's that lovable naive hero who wants to do the right thing no matter what, but he just seems too perfect otherwise.
The whole Fusion thing was terrible, but I loved the Buu saga, especially watching Goku and Vegeta witnessing people being turned into cake, toast, etc., lol!
The new content is awesome. I love the new dungeon. I'm thrilled that we have gear to grind for. High five ANet.
My biggest complaint is the waypoint charges. You can be standing on a waypoint and it would still cost you the same amount it would cost if you were completely across the zone. To make any money at all you would have to run to where you wish to go, which is a joke. The drops you get are next to worthless when placed on the trading post or sold to a merchant.
A game should be fun to play, not stressful and frustrating. I get enough of that in real life without having to suffer it in a game that is supposed to be a stress reliever. I don’t expect it to be easy because that wouldn’t be much fun, but I do expect to be able to earn enough to progress in the game. Everything I earn goes on waypoint charges, travel should be free. The time I have to play shouldn’t be spent running across the world to get where I need to go, so that I can at least make 1 gold to spend at the trainer.
Storage is also a joke. Oh No! My bags are full again, and since there is no access to a banker in any place but the main towns or crafting stations, it is going to cost me 80+ copper or a silver to use a waypoint just to put the items I harvested in the bank or use what playing time I have left to run there. Would it be too much to ask the have bankers and the trading post in the same area and in outlying towns instead just the main cities, wow I might even be able to save up some copper/silver since travel is so expensive.
EQ2 is looking so much better, and I thought I was tired of the grind there.
Tien is clearly the best character in DBZ. I may be slightly biased though because my last name is Tien...
You honestly shouldn't be experiencing stress over waypoint costs. For my level 80 character, waypoint travel can cost more than 3 silver, but that hardly bothers me. I even use waypoints often on my level 20-something alt, but he still has nearly 2 gold.
I'm not sure why you're hoarding items in the bank, since the bank has limited space and you can't do much with a bunch of trophies or white/blue gear that you can't wear. Just sell them to merchants, which are all over the world. The copper WILL add up. As for inventory management... you can deposit crafting mats instantly by clicking the drop-down arrow at the top right corner of your inventory screen and selecting "Deposit collectibles." And again, every time you come across a merchant, go ahead and sell everything you've amassed in your inventory that you don't need.
Also, if you're really low on coin for some reason and need to go someplace, just enter the sPvP lobby and take the portal to Lion's Arch. From there, you can take a portal and travel to any major city for free.
Thank you Tien!!
A dynamic event or heart done at level easily pays for the cost of traveling to any way point at any time. Unless you're roaming around in zones that are way below your level, I can't imagine anyone not having enough money to pay for way points. In fact, running through lower level zones to get to higher level zones to save way point charges actually costs you money.
Because spending more time in the higher level zone will get you more money. But if you're just grinding mobs to make the money, you're going to have a lot more problems than if you're doing hearts and particularly dynamic events. And personal story. Dailies. All of that rewards money.
Make sure you're also farming all the nodes, because selling that stuff, if you don't use it, will net you a lot of money too. Don't depend on weapon and armor drops to make money, materials are where it's at.
Edit: You do know you can get and craft bigger bags fairly cheaply and that you can deposit all collectibles into your bank remotely, right?

If your bags and bank is full, if you're in the middle of a mat run or a grinding moment and find yourself without gathering tools or need to repair and want to save a little cash on waypoints...go to WvWvW, do your buisness, then re-log your char. No waypoint costs.
There, one less thing to bug everyone.
I can't imagine I never thought of that. I usually go through the PvP lobby for free, and head for LA. This is good stuff. lol
