Guild Wars 2

Could ascended back pieces possible come to the laurel vendors?

Maybe changing the “Vial of Condensed Mists Essence” so that only it can be sold on the trade post rather than all of it’s superior counterparts.

Possibly creating a “Vial of Condensed Mists Essence” with T5 or T6 materials.

I am on of those players who do not take particularly well to Fractals of the Mist. One of the many players that dislike it for our own reason. Before there is to be any bashing of my dislike towards FoTM, understand that there is a group of people who have the same opinion as me.

Well, you need 1 Vial if I am not mistaken, that can be gathered from FotM lv 1.

I don’t really get why you don’t want to set foot in fractals. What is the problem with it? (this is not sarcasm, I’m asking honestly)

It only takes one Vial to get the ascended fractal capacitor. It’s not easy to come by them because it completely depends on luck, but if you get up to FotM 10 you will likely get one Vial by then. But if you decide to not go to the trouble of doing fractals, this is the difference between Exotic and Ascended:

Exotic:
22 (25)
16 (15)
1% (3%)

Ascended:
56
35
5%

You lose about 20 stat points, it’s not a significant loss. The only other thing you lose is agony resistance, which you do not need since it’s only required for fractals.

Finally, if you allow any mists essence to be tradable you will effectively make them all tradable because they can all be converted in the mystic forge. It will be pretty expensive to convert a lot of vials in order to make globs and shards, but even then you would completely remove the requirement of doing FotM to get infused gear.
