Guild Wars 2

The suggestion of purchasing fractal weapons with pristine relics comes up again and again on this forum. People think it’s unfair that somebody can do a level 20 fractal once and get their weapon, but others can be fractals level 50 with 600+ fractals completed and 50+ pristine relics and only have gotten one or two weapons that they can’t even use.

Please merge these threads into one, because many different people are offering unique and innovative suggestions for resolving this. Here are some links:

ANet make this happen!

Doesn’t look like we’re going to get any love, folks

Yeah, I go a bank-tab full of none-infused rings, all my lvl 80 alts have none-infused rings and I am sitting on 25+ pristine relics.. It would be nice if we could use them to get:
-vials (1)
-globs (5)
-shards (10)
-infused rings (20?)
-fractal skins (30?)

since fractal skins are visual only id like to see them cost considerably more than anything else…

It would be nice if we could atleast trade fractal weapons for others, or introduce a random chance of a fractal token (because Anet loves rng and we dont want to see them unhappy, do we) to buy the weapon we want. The last 2 days i got 2 torches, and i dont even use torch. Also got axe+shield which are unusable by my profession. I’m fine with the weapons dropping randomly but i really would like to use them…

Bump to bring attention — would love to see an official response, especially since I am sure there’s quite a bit of people who have LOTS of tokens just burning up.

Thanks for the bumps and support you guys. I am in the same spot as all of you, and many others. I’ve got over 50 pristine relics, all from daily fractals that are above level 20. It’s a shame that they made it this way. RNG is the lazy way out.

Fractals weapons is the only thing you can get with a very low chance in Fractals (the fractal weapons you want out of all ring, all ascended rings, all other fractal weapons).
In GW2 you can buy almost EVERYTHING, except Badge of Honor and dungeon tokens: leave Fractal Weapons where they are.

So leave the random, unfair and unevenly distributed RNG drop because everything else can be bought, and this is the only broken thing worth keeping. That makes no sense. This would be alright if they at least had a random drop at certain levels, say, 40+. Further, aren’t pristine relics a dungeon token, which, as you said, is an exception to what can be bought? Wouldn’t this objection go against the premise of your argument?

Simply put, it’s not fair that somebody who did fractals level 20 once has more to show for it then people like me who have done fractals over 600 times, have over 50 pristine relics from dailys above 20, and are above level 50.

People who work less should have less of a reward. The people who work hundreds of hours to get the weapon they want should be rewarded.
