Guild Wars 2

I see tons of posts about orange gear costs. What I would like to point out is most people I have grouped with…once they hit 80 take about 2 weeks to get fully decked out in all orange gear (except breather and spine)

I do not see how hardcore players taking 2 weeks to fully gear out in max everything, is too much of a grind. I mean a causal player of equil skill who only plays 1/3 as much will be able to do it in 6 weeks.

I understand you hit 80 and want to have the best gear. Just work at it alittle bit. It really doesn’t take that long. You can craft oranges at a rate of about 1 per 2hrs just by farming up the mats, you can get them from dungeons from about 6-10 runs per piece, you can get them from karma vendors for 42K, you can get them from event chests, you can get them from map completion, you can get them from the forge, you can even get them from the AH. It truely is not a grind all in 1 place unless you choose to make it that way. Go get HoW gloves, CoF boots, karma chest, explorer helm, craft you self a piece or 2, and maybe get a weapon from AC. You do NOT need to get every single piece from the same single spot. Once you have all your top end gear you can then slowly work tword a matching set if you want.

More like 2 days rly and yes i agree getting full end game gear is far too easy but that’s what anet wanted i guess.

That being said i think you missed entire point sir. Players did say its too grindy to get best gear in game, they said its too much grind to get any “dungeon gear” ( ~70 runs for set )

Yes I guess I should have said medium core players can do it in 2 weeks. And if you think the best cosmetics are not supposed to be a grind I think you missed all those dev interviews and posts where they made it very clear that cosmetics such as dungeon gear and legendays would be the grind. Not the gear itsself. And that is exactly how they made it. Gear easy, the exact look you want not so fast to get.
