Guild Wars 2

I have found that with all the world boss chests, jumping puzzles chests and Instigator chests that Rare Items are no longer rare. Heck this doesn’t even include all the rare items that drop from creeps throughout the world (Magic Find works, trust me).

It has gotten to the point that I don’t even equip rares anymore and just sell them to purchase an exotic, which have also become abundant. I can remember when have a rare equipped was pretty good, and an exotic was awesome! And Legendaries? Well they were just that, now everyone has one or even multiple Legendaries (not very Legendary).

But, i know this is a game full of grinders, and my dislike of lowering the standards will go unheard so long as everyone gets theirs.

welcome to 3 months ago!

seriously, though—the fix for the fix for the boss chests did nothing. the “daily bonus chest” is a joke.

They just need to make the entire boss chest an account-based daily for each boss event and be done with it.

Oh yeah? Well what about Masterwork items, they never were the work of a master. Please buff Masterwork items to be better than Exotic so the nomenclature makes some kitten sense, this kitten is confusing.

if you think about it rares value is pretty much even with ectos. I think the min they made rares farmable both lost purpose.

I’ve been running back and forth with a zerg for 2 hours farming instigator events and gotten 6 or 7 rares and 1 exotic, so I’m really a getting a kick out of this thread.

I hate to break it to you, but Guild Wars has always been about grind. I know from time to time players and even ANET like to say otherwise, but the first game was all about the grind and this is no different. It’s just the way the series was built.

I think some people are getting too literal with names.

AM I HOT WHEN I WEAR FINE ARMOR!?!?

Geesh, the next thing you know, armor that is really too skimpy or shows a lot of flesh shouldnt give so much armor bonus…

Big +1 to this.

We also got Rares just as often if not MORE often in GW1 where there wasn’t even such a thing as magic find. What hasn’t changed though is that’s it’s really the Skin that matters to people. And in this game it doesn’t matter how many rares there are clogging the market (eventually someone’s gonna forge them when they get cheap enough). Most of them all have Mods no one wants, just like the first game. Therefore it’s not really effecting the “difficulty” of the game one bit. All it does is change what people go fight in order to keep grinding towards the next GWAM like Aesthetic.

Rare items weren’t rare the day I found the Black Lion Trade Post.

im with rockoe screw rare stuff i sell it all now i even sell exotic i have great stuff not legendary but great stuff i sell everything i get unless i really want it now all my stuff armor weapons rings ect are exotic
