Guild Wars 2

Hi, I have been playing since around August and this game is fun for me, but I intensely dislike that I win so many things that are just useless to me. I really only play one toon and have no desire to play a bunch of toons.

I have won 5 ascended weapons chests, and two ascended armor chests all from fractals. Lucky you say? Bah, of the seven items not one is optimal and only one is useable for me.
Let me pass to other people in fractal with me, let me sell for more than a few silver, or let me salvage for a decent amount of materials or something.

I fail to see how I’m supposed to enjoy winning these useless prizes. I’d rather see them more rare then to pile up in my bank.

I have supported the game threw gem purchases, but I’m considering not buying any more, when the rewards for being in fractals aren’t up to snuff. If I have to craft all of my gear to have what I want, then I can just do that with in-game gold.

That sounds quite truth and funny at the same time.
I’m playing since Betas, and RNG gives no kitten on me. While I would be happy for Ascended chests, it gives them to You who don’t even need it… And seems like you can’t even gift it…
You know, I’ve made an Ascended LB before, now I made my Ascended GS. I felt like… betrayed?… after spent those efforts onto making it for some minor stat changes (not like if I wish for more at my broken Ranger), but I had a feeling to just exit the game.

Maybe If these were lucky drops for me, I would consider leveling up another characters.

Anyway, I’m still getting Zenith weapons skins that I don’t even like, and all the other options are the two kind of armor pieces that I won’t even use, since not fitting my taste. Yes, I miss old D&D style, when a Ranger had proper armor instead of latex pijamas.

Only things I can say after all;

• Suggest to make Asc. chests GIFT-able (without pays), then give it to me ^^
• Join me and try to earn AN’s efforts on making Armors or a more customized crafting methood.
• or join to the grooving club of ex-GW2 players who didn’t get what wanted.

Good Luck.

Yes, My toon is a ranger. I have crafted ascended Longbow, Shortbow, and Horn for weapons, Also crafted 4 parts of the ascended armor set. So let me pass the loot thats not for my specs, or vend for 5 gold or something, or just come up with some other rewards.

Maybe food, maint oils, sharpening stones, just slightly better than craftables or with longer durations.

Or how about temp particle effects for my arrows, axes, or whatever? Give me 1 hour buff of arrows that look cool when you shoot and I’d be happy.

Or how about including revive orbs and repair kits?

Ad infinum.

Hmm, it is a good point Vrannar!
If you give those unneeded chests to Evon, who gives you a nice amount of account boosts… Like you’ve made a step toward AP’ ladder. +2% Karma, +2% Luck, +2% Gold, 100 AP.
This isn’t something what would brake the game mech or people would make themselves OP, but seems like a fairly balanced exchange to me.

It would indeed be nice if ascended chests where salvageable or if you could sell them, i know you can sell the weapon for 1 gold at vendors, but that really isnt that much considering how long it takes to get one.
Same goes for rings, when im doing 49 and i get a ring as a reward its almost insulting, i almost have 500 pristine relics, and all my toons have ascended rings alrdy.
And when you sell them you get 5 silver, thats just wrong

I think they should change the actual loot from one instead of a pc of armor or weapon it should be material used for making it one of which can be sold on the TP, like an ingot or inscription, so if you don’t want it you can easily sell it for 2 to 30+ gold depending on the item. And this also doesn’t make people who spend all this time crafting for something feel cheated for their efforts when people are getting these items for free that should really be a sign of an achievement in my opinion.

1g is nothing…
An Ascended Weapon costs ~150G.
AN has to keep its “lucky feel” factor when drops, but as mentioned above, may should offer alternative(s) to “get rid of it” if not needed.
