Guild Wars 2

It seems strange that the devs would go through all the trouble to add ascended gear to the game to only use it in one dungeon. Are there rumblings of implementing agony in any other areas of the game? Progressing in fractals has been rewarding for me so far, but I wonder what the future holds. I wouldn’t mind seeing agony in all the new dungeons they add. Perhaps it they could create an agony mode for the existing dungeons and add ascended gear there? Either way, I hope its in many of the new dungeons.

I believe you’re right. They must have some sort of plan in the pipe to make Ascended gear and Agony Resistance useful outside of fractals. I would love to see new L80 dungeons designed with AR in mind and that award Ascended gear.

Agony itself is a failed mechanic. All you need is AR and you can forget it even exists. Putting it in dungeons would result in gear checks and nothing more.
