Guild Wars 2

So you doubled the drop rate of passion fruit or whatever it’s called to lower the cost of infusions.

Great, really, I like it. Step in the right direction for sure.

Now what about karka shells? Currently for me to get 250 karka shells for a vital infusion (+5 vit, +5 AR) it will cost me over 15 gold for the shells alone.

I think the drop rate of karka shells needs to be doubled, no, tripled to bring the cost down, because it’s insane. 15 gold for 5 vit is insane.

Then….dont make the infusion? The only people that want the extra 5vit(or whatever) are perfectionists and just like collectors I see no problem in making them pay. For everyone else there’s the fractal relic one you can earn in a little over one run.

The issue is that the 250 requisite mats for offensive infusions cost 40 copper each, and the one for defensive infusions cost 7 silver each, almost 20x the price.

The issue is that they promised to look at it and make it make it a minor grind and they’ve basically paid lip service to that promise. Its still a massive grind or cost.

It does not bode well for obtaining further ascended gear when it becomes available.

It also makes it clear that anet do not want us to be able to craft high level items.
