Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I am on my way to complete my first legendary, Sunrise, and along they way of making it I’ve noticed a contradiction I wanted to raise:

My new item is not legendary at all. Its just plain expensive.

Reflecting on my journey of making it:
*I’ve not done anything special
*I’ve not been to exotic places specific to Sunrise
*I’ve not completed anything quest-wise to Sunrise
*I’ve not achieved anything remarkable
*I’ve not come in contact with any NPC telling me anything of Sunrise
*I’ve not learned any lore of Sunrise
*I’ve not learned anything of its legendary making from Dawn
*I’ve not understood why Zomorose is related to Sunrise

Basically I’ve done nothing but spew money over it. As a player, I do not understand the legendary'ness of “500 Orichalcum Ingots” or “500 Globs of Ectoplasm” with a swirl of all various mats.

They are all flat money.

I’d like to raise a suggestion: Rename the rarity level of my (yet) new Sunrise from Legendary to a mere Expensive. It would still be placed above the current Ascended, and retain its expensive skin.

If implemented, this would provide room for a new category: Legendary.

In this category the company can provide a myth (or… um… legend) to a rise of a new weapon set. For this weapon set, the company could include lore, meaning, grand quest, achivs needed to prove even random connection with the legend, etc.

Attached please find the proposed ranking change.

Thanks for reading,

Because world completion is just flat money. So is the straight up dumb stupid luck of (someone) finding the precursor.

I had 100% world long before any legendary weapon thought.
I had 100% precursor drop chance from TP.
Tens of thousands of players rolling MF = 99.9% MF drop chance too.

So yeah, whats legendary?

A “Legendary” should be obtained through legendary deeds. We need a whole new crop of weapons for this category. Good looking weapons; not these often goofy-looking, particle effect affected, nasty puddle-footprint leaving jokes we have now. We need serious looking weapons and not light shows, disco balls and beer mugs. The current “Legendaries” that require legendary feats of farming and grinding should not be changed to “Expensive”. They should be called “Ludicrous”, as they are on so many levels from looks to cost.

It is not. It’s time. I spent hours doing world completing. All of that work, and now I have an excel sheet posted over my computer with mats and quantities needed for my legendary.

I have the same exact excel sheet with quantities :-(
I really wish it meant something…

I’d like the legendary title to go away as well. I don’t need an item that says “super elite” on it, but I’d really like weapons that can reset their stats at will.

That way, I can come to the forums and ask that stat reset weapons be a little more reasonable to get, without having to read the replies of “but… but… but… they’re LEGENDARY, so acquisition should be uber grindy, I mean, difficult!”

I’d be happy with the plainest looking weapon in the game, labeled “Noobgear” rarity, if I could get it doing the stuff I like in game and didn’t have to pack three of them around for different situations.
