Lets meet half way: Raiders Vs Casuals
So here are a few questions:
- When you are not even willing to put forth the money to have proper gear for raids, and the time to learn how to play, what makes you think you would be putting forth money or time towards legendary armour?
Let me guess. Because one thing is worthwhile for him and other is not. I mean, if he doesn’t like the raids as they are now, why would he want to invest time and ingame wealth to play them? That would be counterintuitive.
- What do you gain from having gear that can change stats in a game mode where you can faceroll content with the trash you get from mobs anyhow?
I found out that i do usually need more toughness and vit in WvW. I’d rather have one gear set i can finetune than lug an additional armor set in an inventory that’s already filled way too much (i am sort of a pack rat and tend to carry probably way too many items with me already). I’m not hardcore enough to be put off by the thought i wouldn’t be running perfectly matched runes with that setup.
I can also remember many cases where the ability to swap stats on the fly would have helped me immensely. Cases i couldn’t predict would happen until they have actually happened. I’m quite sure that if such cases happened in the past, they may happen in the future as well.
- Have you even bothered to sit down and think about why you need the gear or where you would use it?
Yes. Have you?
- Did you even consider spending time in game or reddit looking for training groups instead of pouting to anet that you are left out because you do not “have time” to get into it?
No. For me, the barrier was never skill-based, but a social one. I group and play with friends. And no, no game is going to dictate to me who my friends should be.
Besides, even if i could raid skillwise, this level of difficulty simply isn’t fun for me.
Besides:
The only mode where it is actually useful to be able to swap your stats on armour on the fly is in raids anyhow, and even then only for a few characters.
Yeah, to hardcores it is not that much useful.
Additionally, until you can select runes as well, it is not even beneficial to move between characters.
Why would i want to move it between characters?
For everyone else? Craft your exotics, buy them, or get from drops. That is more than enough to do all the content from HoT and core Tyria. All the dungeons. And all the living stories. Even all your personal story.
From what i heard from Raiders, it’s also quite enough to do raids, so why would you need it?
And if you fractal, you have the gear (or can cheaply change it to be correct) and the skill to do raids.
Again, so what? That was never the problem.
Lastly:
If all you want is the story, which they have made clear has no relevance on the rest of the game, Glenna, at the start of wing three, gives you a summary of the first two wings. Then you can catch vids for the rest. And I bet you can ask in Aerodrome for an empty wing at any time to see what is left.
Yes, yes, i understand. I should be satisfied with scraps that have fallen from the table. It’s completely inconceivable why i might feel otherwise [/sarcasm]
Actions, not words.

but but…i want an armor ohoni…what now?
i dont want a title, nor a badge, nor anything else. i want an armor.
i guess u have no solution for that?
looks like anet got already one, since its in the game.
maybe politly ask anet to make another legendary armorset for open world pve, wvw and pvp?
just look at the rest…there are fractal weapon, dungeons weapons and armor u only can get there and through a bit of pvp, cuz there was no other skins when they remade the pvp rewards, and honestly, its fair tho.
so, now we have raids with completly unique skins wich come from there. beat the raids and grab those skins, or don’t. best move ever.
storymode? sure, np, but no raidrewards for ezpz stuff. some gold coins and bags okay.
np with that.
but as many others said, storymode would be made from the players to 24/7 farm mode with bigger rewards.
just look at the fiasko with this overflow borderland wvw map. i don’t wanna see raids there. no thanks.
ressources should create more awesome raids instead of storymode. yeh yeh.
