Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

This is a suggestion to make Legendary Precursors more easily obtainable, yet not influence the economy. Many people are trying to get a legendary weapon, as it is a huge goal to strive for in this game, and has a unique look that a player may feel is worth obtaining. However, the rising prices of legendary precursor weapons has slowed or even halted player’s ambitions and desires to reach this goal.

The people trying to obtain a legendary weapon on their own merit already possess the desire to farm and grind out all the items they need. Yet, the precursor is the one piece that fluctuates largely in price because of demand. As of the current state of legendary precursors, I definitely feel, and many would agree, that only large guild money pools can even come close to affording one, without grinding/farming to buy that one item for numerous months.

Since the people trying to obtain the legendary weapons solo are already taking on such a grind on their own, why not let them prove themselves further?

SUGGESTION: Create a vendor which sells legendary precursors weapons for a large price. Personally, I feel that about 1000 tokens from every dungeon is a fair price. This is a bit of a farm, but so is the rest, one more piece won’t hurt. In order to refrain from impacting the economy (or impacting it, whichever you [Anet] feels is necessary), make these vendor bought precursors soulbound on acquire. (Sort of like the runes from dungeon chests vs. the un-soulbound versions via crafting.)

Thanks for your time. Hopefully this seems sound and reasonable to most.

No. They’re Legendaries. Get it? Legen – wait for it – daries.

You’re suggesting to make the most sought-after thing in the game accessible through spamming something players already spam their eyes out…
Legendaries aren’t even mandatory.

If you want to make Legendaries accessible through different means, make it replace Luck with SKILL.

Some kind of solo trials that are insane, professions-specific skill-checks that reward you with an item (not the precursor itself) that helps craft the precursor.

Yeah, seeing the precursors constantly increase is scary, especially with all these videos floating around of hundreds of failed attempts at getting a precursor.

As stated above it feels like only a guild could pull the money together to buy one while myself and some friends run dungeons constantly and gather other components we have no idea how we could possibly get to over 400g for a precursor. I myself am a bit shy of 100g and still need all those icy runestones as well as other things.

I’m completely for replacing luck with skill. Or replacing luck with anything that isn’t luck. My post was just a suggestion. However, there really should be some way to get a precursor, via crafting or other, that isn’t based on just a lucky drop, loot, or craft from the Mystic Forge.
