New gear=grind AND progression...
You realize they make it so it takes a while to get the item, and not 1 week on farmign like in WoW.
It is a shame we have to really work for the gear now, and to think seeing someone in Lions Arch with the gear that took forever to get and seeing people respond like “ kitten that is Sick” Or " Where did you get that, grats on it" is just awful
I would rather see 2000 people in all the same gear in the first month so there is nothing special about it or prestigious. In Fact I am going to uninstall GW2 and go back to WoW at least there in a month instead of having one of the four mats for my gear I have a full set of Heroic Gear and am no different from any other player cause they made it so ease to get gear.
I am not trying to insult you mate just saying that the gear has hard requirements to make cause they are supposed to take you month on end to get. It is meant to be part of the end game experience and not everyone will get it.
