Guild Wars 2

Arena, I love your game. I’m enjoying it a lot, but I read about lots of players complaining about you, telling that you didn’t respect the “no-grinding” promice.
I can see what’s their point, even if I don’t share their view.
Their main complains are:

1) Grinding for legendaries is too much, almost crazy.
2) Even if I grind, there will be no gameplay advantage for me, so… why am I grinding?

Reasons I don’t share their opinion:

1) Legendaries are an objective for VERY hardcore players to demonstrate they are hardcore, but without unbalancing the game. This is their meaning and the system works perfectly for me.

ANYWAY!
Their points are true, the grinding is very high for those Items, expecially for people that are not exactly hardcore gamers but… almost. People that spend a lot, but not too much time in the game. Those are people feeling like they don’t have an End Game achivement, because the main one requires too much effort.

Then, I think a possible solution would be to add some sort of “semi-legendary items”, items that are cool but not as the true legendary ones. Items that require grind but not as much as the legendary ones.

What do you think, ANet?
