Guild Wars 2

Toast.6459:

Very easily. You might have heard of this weird thing in the game called personal story, funnily enough it’s a long term thing, 80 levels worth actually, and it provides different content.

Next.

You have a very caustic and condescending attitude, which won’t work in your favor if you’re trying to convince other players.

Also, your reasoning is confusing to me.

@Shimmer, your lack of understanding really amazes me.

@bcd, oh, you’re back. Cool. Anything meaningful to contribute yet? No? Alright, moving on.

Why do you care about legendaries?

It only shows a player spent a lot of time grinding and grinding,

If you want to show the rest you have mastered the game, then go for a title instead of a shiny useless sword,

In fact, to be honest, best players don’t wear legendaries, because they spend time playing against humans and learning the game instead of glitching dungeons and mobs,

And after all, this is just a game, try to enjoy it aiming to your legendary or aiming to be a great player,

Best regards,

If you look at the explanation of a legendary, way way back before the game launched I believe, it states legendary weapons are supposed to show your mastery of the game. As you said, “It only shows a player spent a lot of time grinding and grinding”. I do sincerely hope this wasn’t intended to be mastery of the game.

They also said guardians are viable with a condition spec,

In the end it doesn’t matter what Anet says,

If you want something that proves you are a great player, go for a Spvp title,

If something impress me when I see other player is a Marauder title or above,

A shiny sword, (pretty common nowdays) does not,

Plus they are worthless, if at least they would have a little edge in the stats maybe then i’d give a kitten about getting one,

Well I sure did a boatloads of cof P1 since then, which yields good progress but isn’t really fun (I’d like to farm the materials myself, but diminishing returns on farming spots make this less profitable as cof P1).
.

Less profitable is a major understatement. Farming t6 and lodestones (excluding dungeon cores) directly is not realistic. One’s best bet is to farm bags and that is a “grab bag” at best to which you might get. I really feel that someone over there should actually do a test of direct farming and feel how “reasonable” it actually is.

Legendary weapons will be upgraded to ascended whenever those are added, if that bonus gives a visible advantage, that’s a whole different nightmare.

If I were everyone here replying to the OP I would just stop. When someone has thier mind so made up already everything you’re saying to them will be wrong.

These posts…will never end.

Proof of mastery of the game? Are you joking? You can buy a legendary from tp, just scamming some guys playing not even moving out of LA, moving capitals.
A friend of mine bough for 1800g in a month moving capitals reselling stuff scamming around powerselling, he doesn’t even know how his skills works, he was asking me how the hell a skill should be used.
Is it a worthy mmo PVE player? You tell me lol

Case and point, right here. The game pretty much comes down to how well you can play the TP right now.
I won’t deny, the people who are smart about it deserve credit, whoever that guy is who opened 180,000 Wintersday Gifts for example. The ones who just hop on a train and get lucky, different story.

This thread realy should have ended when the op said ‘anet said…’. While apolagizing to the fanboys but so far all anet has showed me personaly is that they can craft a beautiful and interesting world…. beyond that god helps us.

Do we realy need to recount the buggy , exploitable and unbalanced state the game launched in and how most of their knee jerk fixes so far have mostly dug the hole deeper?

From a practical standpoint right now all legendaries are is a skin, to the point where i’d rather pay for that skin with microtransactions than grind it. The only thing they provide is eye candy, complaining that they take time to grind strikes me kinda like complaining that you can’t buy diamond plated teeth AND food on your salary. Either “work” hard or smart and get them…. maybe.

Tbh i find it extreemly sad when i see one of theese “legendaries take to much time to get” threads…. what the hell else do you even have for playing the game besides the flourescent light at the end of the rabbit hole? you can deck out a char in allmost the best gear (by like 5% less) and experience all the pve content 1-80 in what 2 weeks? 3? say another week to get bored of spvp and then what do you have? WvW if your machine doesnt start spitting you in the face and grinding out a legendary…. And even if you reply “what the hell do you mean?! spvp is great, ive been playing only that nonstop since game lanched l2p noob” , fine however tihi YOU CAN’T AQUIRE OR USE THE LEGENDARY IN SPVP

Grammar errors aside, when did I say they take too much time to get.
Never

I said their nothing more than a grind. I have no qualm with how long they take, in fact I’d be content if they had ended up taking much, much longer if it included a challenge and not just mindless grinding, to the point where nobody had one yet.

Well grinding is kinda fundamentaly a time sink so i just assumed….technicaly even by your criteria, if it was harder to get but also took longer than now it’d still be a grind, you’d just be gridning harder content instead of dungeons /mobs; unless maybe they we’re gated so you could make progress toward them more than once a month or something.

Grinding is doing the same thing over and over, farming events in Orr, CoF p1, etc. Introduce a dynamic dungeon like Fractals that you don’t have to run 1000 times and it won’t feel like, or be, grinding.
