Somewhere in the 200-250g range trying to get The Legend. I didn’t keep track too carefully because I knew that would only make the despair greater.

I really think the mystic forge is the worst thing ANet has ever done in either GW1 or GW2. For the several weeks I was dumping rares and exotics into it, playing the game was nothing but continual disappointment. Now, grinding out 500g+ to buy The Legend off the TP seems like a joy in comparison.

I played FFXI 2001-2010 a “Legendary” weapon back then took you around 2-3 years to make(Before Dynamis Revamp & Abyssea) you just had to work hard at it do the events twice a week and save, save save save.
I find it annoying that these so called Legendary weapons have Luck attached to them, so many people stuck on the Precursor and i guess i understand why people would rather get it by crafting it then by just Buying it, that alone should get a special tittle or something because anyone can dish out Gem money and get the precursor but it takes a different kind of player to try your luck for that extra cred…
And being able to sell precursors makes even less sense if you dont want to cultivate Bots and a Gold Buying community imo….

Starting at 0g you can have 100g in a week. Lets say you dont focus on money afterwards and only get 10g dayly and make exra 33% every week in the TP. Now: what do you have after 6 months of playing?

I can’t even pretend to get my head around your backwards logic. I keep trying to formulate some sense out of it and come up with nothing. If I am running the same stuff as you claim to be (and I usually spend more than just 3 hours a day doing dungeons) and occasionally more and can’t make half of what you claim…you know what you’re right dude. You are pro. Gratz on your 100g a week, now go fix our economy with your abundant wealth :-P

Such a waste. The mystic forge is a terrible game mechanic. Devs should be ashamed.

It was their quick solution to regulating the economy—have items magically disappear for very little in return. Otherwise T5/T6 mats, etc. would be so inexpensive and worthless.

…Then that backfired. Would be an awesome game mechanic if there were set recipes for everything… not just everything but the Precursors. But then again there were set recipes for them a while ago that were nerfed. If they hadn’t nerfed them, how much different would the economy be?!

As for what I’ve lost, I’m standing in the range of 250g with no end in sight. Let’s see how much more I can gamble away! (I hate gambling. But they literally leave me no option…)

All you people gambling for a precursor are either stupid or full of it. If you have wasted 500g trying to make a precursor I feel sorry for your intelligence.

I don’t sell precursors. I just bought mine when I was ready for it. You people are so dumb to sit there and throw 300g away into the Mystic Forge. Hell at the rate you made 300g you would have your legendary in just a couple more months if you would just buy it.
