Ok there are many problems with them which probably most of them you all had already noticed. So I’m not going to make a whole list here as thats not the main point here, however I will point out the main problem – why do we care?
The answer is obvious – the new Ascended Accessories. But do we really want them because they have better stats than exotic gear? No we want them to get higher agony resistance while the higher stats is just a bonus. Lets be honest the 5-10 extra points in stats dont make much of a differance so exotics are good enough. Even if Ascended gear had the exact same stats as level 80 exotics we would still want to get them because of the extra resistance. We managed to survive without them so far and we will in the future, so the only place we cant is high levels of Fractals of the Mists.
So now we have 2 choices on how to get the accessories – either we wait 2 months to acquire enough laurels or pray that we will always be on time for the guild mission even if we have a big enough guild to afford unlocking them.
But I’m blabbering too much so here are my solutions:
Either give us the option to acquire the ascended accessories from where we are suppose to i.e. level 30+ Fractals of the Mists bonus.
Or if it absolutely has to be for the Guild Missions then make it more easy for everyone to get their rewards. What I mean is make something like a “mission log” in LA which will allow players to join in on a mission started by another guild of the same world. And perhaps it could award Influence to the guild that started the mission like 5-10 points for every non-member that joined in.
Whatever the case it cant be the way it is right now because if this keeps up small guilds will bedisbanded and a lot of fractal frequenters annoyed.
