Guild Wars 2

Having seen the sheer amount of fine materials needed for ascended back items (among other mystic forge recipes) I’m really starting to come to the conclusion that there needs to be something done in regards to acquisition rates of these materials (along with other crafting materials such as gossamer scraps and heavy leather). I would suggest maybe having the option to trade dungeon tokens or karma for these (of course the price shouldn’t make it too easy to obtain; for such a reason I’d recommend only making them available in the fractals dungeon vendor). Of course, the other option would be to lower the number of mats needed for the recipes (250 really is a lot), but I have a feeling that making the materials available through an alternative means would be a better solution.

PS: one of the reason I mention this is because I find it odd that to get an item needed for dungeons you have to end up farming for an rng based material…

I think mats should get lowered drasticly. There is WAY to many things needed to make ONE SIMPLE THING. You can only buy100 per of whatever mats, and it use to be 1000 per on the TP. Why did it get changed from 1000 to 100 is beyond me, and when you get that 100, you can only make 50 of the next thing, Why not just let us use 100 to make 100? I think I seen at one time 75 things to make 1….HUh?? Why SOOOOOOOOOO many mats to make 1?

I thought the game was not suppose to be a grind? Just increasing a craft is a major grind, and expensive. There is no excuse why we have to have SO many mats just to make 1 thing. CRAFTING NEEDS SOME SERIOUS LOOKING INTO. It is just ridiculous on how it is now.
