Guild Wars 2

The difference in stat points of ascended items -without infusion- over exotics is ~15%.
This is slightly more than the difference between exotics and rares, which is ~14%.

Ascended bs needs to be reduced to 5% advantage asap, or this can only be considered a broken game design.

I’m actually surprised that people who have legendary items aren’t louder about this, since those have the same vastly inferior stats as exotics.

Now flame away.

Edit: I would also like to point out that Arenanet originally said that they’d never do something like this nonsense. Seems that was a lie.

Did you miss the part about legendaries being upgraded to ascended stats when they’re release?

Nothing is stopping any player from going out and getting relics/pristines/joining a braindead zerg guild for commendations and getting these items.

Yeah I didn’t read that, took a long break from the game and now there is this obscenity called Ascended items.. What an ugly idea.
