Guild Wars 2

I am at Fractal level 31, have a fairly regular group, and have been lucky enough to receive two Fractal weapons from the dailies – the only person in my group to receive any.

Frustratingly I cannot use either weapon as a Mesmer – dagger and mace – and have no particular interest in alts at this time. I would LOVE to be able to trade the weapon to my team mates only for a limited period of time after looting, so at least someone can use and enjoy them. The weapons currently sit looking shiny in my bank, and will likely do so for a long period of time.

In my opinion, which is shared by my friends, the RNG on both the rings and weapons is dampening our desire to progress further in Fractals. The fact that one member of our team has never looted a ring also adds to this. I understand from dev posts that ArenaNet are planning to make some changes around the rings, but would also implore them to consider some changes to the Fractal weapons also – currently, unless you are really lucky, the entire experience is far more frustrating than rewarding.

Since temporary trading is an unlikely solution, my other suggestion would be some sort of token system using the Fractal Relics and globs/shards/vials so we can work towards a specific weapon – even if it’s extortionately expensive it provides a goal.

I really hope they get rid of rng from anything vital for progression and stat increases. Skins and other cosmetic stuff, they can easily be rng.
