The Abbadon Fractal
I wouldn’t count on it showing up anytime soon. Although we have been told it “might” happen. Even if we do get it, I wouldn’t count on it being as good as what we had in Guild Wars 1, just do to how they have handled other fractals.
Lookout, we have another one of those ‘fractal leaderboards’ or ‘legendary precursor scavenger hunts’ on our hands.
The whole election was rigged for Kiel. Sorry.
Hmm. Do I want the Abaddon fractal? Hell yeah. Do I want it soon if it means still rejecting all existing dungeon bugs, and postponing possible things we’ve been promised such as a new way to obtain precursors and season 1 LS in the journal? No.
I hope for the sake of everyone Anet have their priorities right. I don’t have much faith in that though.
This fractal will come in November. Remember that the devs are worshipers of a religion preventing them from touching fractals more than once a year. And that is in November.
Of course, the god of the devs is bloodthirsty , therefore sacrifices will have to be made to satisfy him.
The ritual will have to involve the sanguinary removal of existing fractal content. As it has always been.
The priests have been chanting for days, and an omen has been revealed: the Abbadon Fractal will be granted to us mere mortals, but the god will “fix the scaling” of all other bosses like they did with Mai Trin. The god will lower loot, reduce challenge, and promise eternal life for those who reach level 50. But the god will also remove all fractals over level 30, and reset our fractal levels to -80.
In order to please the divine will, the devs will also add AR infusions to the cash shop, and reduce their normal drop rate drastically.
Once these holy deeds will be done, the devs will reach out to us and tell us that they heard our prayers. The devs will say they finally understood us, and that thanks to their awesome CDI initiative they acknowledge that loot needs improvement. As a result, the drop rate of bloodstone dust will increase substantially.
Such is the will of the god.

The players decided they wanted something else more than the Abaddon fractal. Does this encourage the designers to create the Abaddon fractal after all? Probably not, not if they can put the time into a dungeon relevant to LS2 instead.
Players will complain if it does come (our votes were irrelevant), doesn’t come (lots of us voted for it), or appears in another vote (we want something new) and so on.

No, players decided they want reduced waypoint costs and Kiel would’ve won anyway, I can bet my kitten on that.

This, If it had been anything else other then a reduced cost of Black Lion keys linked with it, then perhaps we would have had a shot at the Abbadon fractal.
I hope we will get to see it one day, but the devs aren’t working on it at the moment.
If we were to get the Abaddon Fractal then all that voting would become meaningless.
Not saying that I don’t want it, because I wanted it more than the Thaumanova but that’s not how it worked out
It might be a good thing that we didn’t get the Abaddon Fractal, because I’m sure it would be a terrible disappointment

No. There was zero chance of Evon winning. Kiel being a human female and Evon being a charr was probably enough to guarantee her win. Add to that the fact that Evon was portrayed as a bad guy upon introduction and his fate was sealed.
personally,
I am glad Kiel won.
if the Abbadon Fractal got the same treatment as the reactor….. well…
Abbadon needs a full sized run. not just a shard.
