Guild Wars 2

Why were infused rings not made available for tokens as well? Just make the tokens for those rings drop at 20+….

You’ve replaced the RNG grind of getting rings with the RNG grind of farming globs and vials and shards, RNG drops, to get an infused ring.

Instead of farming once(twice/thrice or more depending on if you have alts/doing 40+) a day, you now get to do 10 tiered dailies to buy one ring than you get to scrounge through low level fracts for globs/vials.

Though tbh since all they’ve added in is seasonal stuff this time they had to add in more grind to keep some people playing. At the same time they had to respond to all the faults of the RNG system compared to other dungeons.

The answer is what we got, it’s a “meet both sides halfway so now neither side is happy” type of thing.

I’m getting the impression that the vertical progression crowd is a market that Arena Net wants to tap into. There’s really no other way to satisfy these people other than RNG because they consume content much faster that it takes to build it.

Speaking as someone that can’t live without having BiS items, after they let me infuse my non infused rings in the forge I said to myself “So why do I need to do fractals now?”

I was lucky enough to get rings with stats I wanted for 3 characters and now I just need a few globs to infuse them all.

In the end I decided to just get to 26 and go with friends when they’re doing lower levels and also stack Tokens in case of emergency.

The vertical progression crowd got bored with fractals in a week and went back to Mists of Pandaria.

I think that now it is clearly good. RNG is still there yeah BUT somebody hard farming is now absolutely sure to get one, which is fair imo.
So, I think we’re ok now

nah, that is what’s all about gear treadmill, now they will put some other thin to chase (other type of item or new infusions) and make the first ones easier (but not to easy) to obtain
Welcome to the Machine

Right now you can get bis rings with no rng, which is a good thing. The 10 extra agony resist from the infused rings matters only in high level fractals. I really wish it was possible to get infused rings even with 60 daily each, but i’m not too much upset about it. If they introduce a new dungeon where those rings are needed, then it will be again a problem. I’m more upset that they still didn’t fix the dc issue tbh.

The real problem will be if they introduce a new zone whit agony mechanics.
But that new dungeon will be probably bugged/exploited like all other, so no real problem there after all.
