Guild Wars 2

I finally got a chance to sit down and play this weekend and I was just curious if the events are even worth starting at this stage. I keep reading about all the complains and issues so I was wondering if I should just play my game or try to speed grind through the 2 phases for the 3rd phase.

You won’t need to grind through previous phases to be able to participate in phase 3 I believe – just hop on a ship in Lion’s Arch to reach the Karka-infested Island

A-nets true no grind way of thinking at work. Progression isnt the same thing as being locked out of content

I really don’t understand when people say this game doesn’t include a grind. Have you seen the Legendary weapon requirements? Is that somehow not considered a grind? I’m honestly curious and not trying to be a jerk here.

I think its just a case of there being no way to make a true grind free game. they can do alot to remove most of the useless grinding but people will always find a way to make it a grind 1 way or another. gold being my main example.

I think it’s because Legendaries are really not a necessity for playing the game. They are beautiful skins to work toward, but you can still play and have fun without them.
I think the same goes for the Ascended gear, unless you are really into the dungeon, it isn’t a requirement for playing and getting enjoyment from the game.

HOWEVER: I really think they would have done better just introduce new insignia recipes so that anti-agony stats can be crafted into current gear types, and infusion slots can be added to existing gear, via a FotM event, much like the armor infusion missions of GW1. Make the Ascended type gear a dungeon set to be earned via dungeon tokens, or Boss drops.
