I appologize in advance for any spelling and grammar mistakes – English is not my native language.

ArenaNet – You have done a wonderful job with the game – really – there’s a lot to love about it and enough fun to be had to last for a long time – and you keep adding new adventures for us to delve into – thumbs up!
However there’s one area, where I feel you haven’t done your own standards justice – far from actually.

For a person or an item to be Legendary – a story has to have evolved around that person or item. A weapon does not simply become legendary by it’s abbility to shoot rainbows – it’s neat in it’s own disco sort of way, but’s it’s hardly what legends are made of.

You HAVE to put a story behind the item for it to feel real – for us to get that feeling of awe and amazement – a Legendary should feel a bit humbling – like you are carrying the weight of great deeds performed in the past. As if you have something to live up to by simply holding it in your hand – you should get the feeling that you can work wonders or turn the tide of battle because you have a true Legend fighting alongside you.

I played a lot of GW(1) – and I can’t think of one single unicorn in the entire storyline, or even haven seen one in the far distance when traveling Tyria, Cantha or Elona – just to pull that as an example. However I DO remember Reyna and Pyre Fierceshot – so what I’m saying here is that, you could have made Legendary Weapons that tells the story of the thousands of battles that Reyna or Pyre fought – theres enough lore in GW(1) to pull out hundreds of great stories and add that feeling of Legend to the Legendaries – It’s probably too late now – since we have the Disco-Saturday Night Fever Bow and so on – but if you ever think of changing them or adding new ones – please, for the love of all that’s sacred in GW – add Legends to the Legendaries

I personally think that each legendary should gave a quest line of its own. That would be legendary. Can there be over lap between weapons? Sure. Give us something that people can do other than spam the top all day, everyday.

If it takes 3+ months to get the legendary so be it. Just give us something that’s not RNG.
