Guild Wars 2

With the latest patch even more attribute groupings were released for almost every ascended item slot with the mysterious exception of the back armor slot. I am enjoying the new content but I am puzzled as to why additional attribute groupings were not released for back items. In previous comments, certain ANet devs have mentioned that such items would be released, but with the latest update I’m beginning to wonder when.

I have been, as I am sure many other players have, saving my fractal relics for the hope to purchase one of the newly released attribute groupings. I would very much like to buy a Fractal Capacitor, I think they look very cool – but I don’t want to give up my current attribute spread if I can help it (I currently have a rare Magi’s spineguard). I see no reason why these attribute groupings can or should not be made available on back items, but I do not have access to the same data that ANet devs do.

My suggestion, then, is twofold. Either:
1) Release more back items attribute groupings and communicate with your players when you will have the additional attribute groupings available for purchase so that we know how long we should keep the 1350 fractal relics we have been saving.

2) If you feel that the current spread of back item attribute groupings is sufficient and have no plans to change them at this time, please communicate this to your players so that we can understand your reasoning and try to fit the current attribute spreads into our builds.

Thank you very much for your time and for creating this game that we all enjoy playing!
