Why hard to get exotics are simply just exotic?
originally I think they planned legendary and mystic quality.
so there would have been exotic (oragange)—>legendary(red)—> and mystic purple
looks like they scrapped the mystic quality and merged it with legendary
But I agree. Mjolnir for example is the legendary hammer of the nordic god Thor. Why is it only exotic?

Same as GW1. Only GW1 didn’t even have a legendary level. Gold weapons went from so cheap you couldn’t even trade them up to hundreds of ectos.
It’s just a colour and nametag, stats would still be the same. I don’t see any reason for them to be anything else than exotic since GW2 is about looks.

I don’t think that applies in-game. I mean it’s not like mountains form on the other side of the world when you hit things with it (that we know of…).
They’re not just exotic though. They’re named exotics. Regular exotics are just ‘stats weapontype of the sigil’.
I think legendary weapons are special because they all use all the different gifts and they have special effects like auras footprints and spell effects. They also have a lot more detail on them. Mjolnir etc may be expensive but they are the same model as the elementalist conjured weapons so it doesn’t really have a unique thing to it so it doesn’t get to be a legendary.

From what I’ve seen of the Foefire’s essence it DOES have special effects. Someone linked it in chat and I previewed it. It was pulsing, and the pulse carried onto my character’s body and briefly made my character have a ghostly shine.

Its hard to get because it have epic skin. Though the fact that to get a Mjolnir you need to pay the same amount to get a legendary is just plain wrong. Anet made a bad decision on this.
I find it very odd that they put things like volcanus and foefire as just exotic when the amount of crafting materials they need is still quite insane. Would be nice to have it as something else than just that for the amount of work needed for them, no? Like soft-legendary or something else.
There is no difference between an exotic and a legendary anyways. The stats are the same and weapons like Foefire and Volcanus have as much glow and effects as legendary weapons. People see the ingame look and not the color of the weapon name.
Do you guys just care about ’’exotic’’ ‘’legendary’ label ? You complain here cause some awesome and expensive weapons dont have ‘’super expensive weapon’’ status or what?
Its all about skin after all. Nothing else, they have same stats anyways …
If all you need is show off with those expensive weapons, just post them in map chat + the price you bought them or crafted them for …

Actually yes, many people care just about that title, the achievements, and that banner in the loading screen all tied to legendaries. Also legendaries are SUPPOSED to be the hardest item to acquire in the game, with nothing coming close to them in sheer cost or time invested.
