Guild Wars 2

The Fused Gauntlets are my favorite gauntlets in the whole game; and I was half way through two last achievements to get them, but I was unable to complete them due to personal issues. I truly value my characters appearance above most else is this game – because I attribute personal back story and lore to each item I equip. It’s this sort of narrative spin I put on items that really helps me express my imagination and identify with my characters. This is why I play online games of this sort. Not having the Fused Gauntlets really hinders me from moving in an imaginative direction with my character that I was hoping to. Those Gauntlets aren’t just a skin to me: they’re a defining symbol and heirloom of my characters past – not only of the Flame and Frost content and the tribulations I faced therein, but also of the logic I attach to why my character would have Gauntlets that consisted of smoldering branches entwining her arms, Fused and wrought with iron: It’s a symbol and age old technique of personal forbearance (something all Necromancer’s and wielders of Magic should be familiar with) necessary for inner transformation and growth.

I think its really great how with the return of SAB we are able to finish the original achievements, and if Flame and Frost ever returns I’d be so grateful if we were able to finish enough of the original content and achievements to acquire the Fused Gauntlets, or if we could acquire the Fused Gauntlets by new means.

My family laughs at me and says I’m playing online Barby . . . But kitten it!! I’m know what I’m playing – I’m playing Guild Wars 2!
