Guild Wars 2

Hi
I have already 30-40% of the materials for a legendary weapon but absolutely no incentive to make one.
I play with two chars – Ranger and Engineer. Legendary bows and pistols look absolutely horrible, the stats are standard, so why should i want to craft one? Why should anyone?

My idea is to add some special PvE bonuses to legendary weapons, like +50%/100%(?) Karma, +50% magic find, +50% gold from mobs, etc.
Just some additional bonuses, that do NOT influence PvP or WvW but give us a reason to craft those ugly legendary junk ;-)
Just an idea.

This wound be fair for the rest of the comunity!! Because of added bonus it won’t be fair for someone that already gotten the finished pve content gear to have more benefits for no further reason then to shake already unbalanced economy.

Lol, no.

The Legendaries are supposed to be just skins. By adding ridiculous bonuses, you make them into the #1 choice in weaponry, because they will always be better than anything else you could get.

And that’s not what a Legendary was supposed to be.

At least make all the legendaries look cool, the pistol and shortbow are terrible, they should look inspiring, not like a toy.

Legendaries already have a bonus:
+20% Coolness

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Could you please explain what you mean by that?

Yes, of course it would be the #1 choice, but keep in mind that:
1) They are extremely hard to get
2) They are rare
3) A player has to spend lots of time/money/patience to craft them

My point is, that all that time/money/patience should be rewarded with something more than JUST-ANOTHER-SKIN.
Some humble PvE bonus is a fair compensation for everybody who crafted a legendary.

You also have to keep in mind:

1) Not everyone wants to grind for legendaries (Takes a lot of RNG and time and effort that some people would rather put into playing the parts of the game they find fun) and shouldn’t be forced to pick up a legendary in order to get the special boosts

2) Legendaries have been and always will be just skins. People who work hard to get them worked hard to get them because they are nice skins (Some of them are debatable, I personally am not a fan of the Dreamer/Quip but other legendaries are amazing). They’ve never been spouted off as being better than any other weapons (Aside from the always being equal to the best quality weapons available, meaning scaling up to Ascended when the Ascended weapons are brought in)

3) People who do WvW also go after legendaries. How would they feel if PvE players got a boost from having the legendaries and they didn’t?

4) They are rare purely because they are skins. If they actually brought tangible benefits more people would pick them up (All those people who are selling them on TP and/or have enough gold/resources to make one whom aren’t using them because they don’t like them currently)

5) What about people who’ve transmuted their legendaries onto Exotics with stats they want on, they lose the legendary tag, will they also lose out on these special legendary bonuses too?
