Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,
I just thought about the legendarys.
There are many guys who say precursors do have to right price right now.
Well in my view all 4 parts of a legendary should be equally hard.
As a consequence, if precursors have the right price let’s just calculate:
Someone told me 60g a week would be easy.
Well than I as a WvW player say 200 WvW tokens are done at a weekend.
If a precursor is at 600g he needs 10 weeks, so you should need 2000 WvW tokens.
Also the mount of obsidian shards has to be rised. So do the dungeon tokens.
In fact wvw tokens are really easy to earn. 500 a week is possible for everyone, means dungeons tokens should be rised to 5000.

Which would be the consequence of the players who have precursors but still need gifts?
Now they’d be the whining ones.

So either repair the precursor system or rise everything. That would be just fair, because then nobody is underprivileged. The ones who got the gifts first need a precursor which is too expensive to get and the others would need gifts which are also too expensive

Dunno where you get your base numbers but I find it extremely difficult to earn 60g and 200 WvW tokens a week. 60g a week might be possible if you did nothing else but farm and crafting via trading post. 200 WvW token in a weekend? Even when factoring in all 4 jp in WvW (saturday and sunday), at best you get 4 * 4 * 2 = 32 and maybe another 30 for individual kills. So ~60 tokens best case?

Realistically, I think on average most people get about 20g/week and about 30 WvW tokens if there focus is just on grinding out money and tokens.

So, there is no way IMO that pre-cursors are appropriately priced at 600g.

Badges of honor are not one of the 4 required items for a legendary, hence why it shouldn’t ever be considered to be up there with precursors and gifts. Hierarchy wise, they are about 4 steps below, which in turn means they should be 4 times easier to get.

They are.

You need 500 to get a Gift of Battle for the Gift of Mastery.

OP:

I disagree.

Personally I think they should have another look at the Legendary system, and make it more ‘legendary’ and not Trading Post Wars.

No, they are one of the 30 items you need to make gifts, but they are not one of the 4 items needed to craft the legendary. You do not put the badges in the forge together with a precursor to get the legendary, they are about 4 tiers lower on the ladder, hence why you need 500 badges instead of 2000.

In fact I just wanted to show, that there really is something wrong with the precursors.
There are some many guys telling me, that precursors have the right place.
This 60g were from a post today, someone told me, 60g are easily to do.
It is not my opinion.
In my opinion 600g are too much. If Anet wants a normal player to work for a legendary half a year 200-300g are plenty enough.
This thread was just created to make people think about the relation.

Ahh, I misunderstood.

I thought you meant BoH weren’t needed at all. My bad.
