Q:

Hello Once again.
Lately I was trying to take all the accessories that a character is able to have (I have them all except the back pack). By doing that I wanted to check out the infusions and the agony resistance. Now let’s take it step by step. First of all I ask my guildmates what exactly the agony resistance is doing and they told me that is responsible for fractals . Sadly i’m not the kind of guy that likes fractals yeah I know that fractals are cool but i hate when people getting angry when they lose a dungeon in fractals because of one guy that is “the new guy” (Also i did some with guildmates but i didn’t like them again ;\) Now about infusions. They told me that some of the are responsible for WvW and other for PvE you know bosses,events,dungeons etc but they told me that pve from laurel vendors are not worthy. Now my questions are 1) Agony resistance can be used in events around the world and bosses ?? and… 2) Why Anet is not doing anything about pve infusions ?? I mean when you have power like (example ) 2.000 or more when you get an infusion will have +4 power totaly not worthy for the pay price but why they didn’t did anything about that??

Agony resistance is only for fractals. It has no use or effect anywhere else in the world, whether it is events or bosses

I’m not sure what you are asking about the +4, since the sentence makes no sense. However, the extra stats are meant to be very small to prevent any significant power gains. They are just a nice bonus and not intended to be anything else.

Agony is a mechanic that only (presently) exists in fractals. There are no other parts of the game (currently) that require the use of Agony Resistance.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Well what i mean is why they don’t adding more points on the infusions for ex instead of having +4 power you will have like 200 or little bit more . Just to show the difference???

Once upon a time they said that stronger infusions would come out over time. That they would provide a small(very small), increasing power curve. Many of us have screamed (loud and long) for a cease to the power creep. Significantly stronger infusions would probably set off a riot.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Becouse they dont want people to have to craft said infusions to be competetive in wvw mate.

Just be glad that you dont have to and go with the +5 or +7 for your fractal needs.

When the +5 stat infusions were introduced, the plan was indeed to follow them later with stronger ones. That idea (and gear stat progression in general) got scrapped due to overwhelmingly negative reaction of the community. Basically, the more points infusions would give, the greater the difference between exotics and ascended would be. The greater difference between those sets, the more voices calling for a stat nerf or cost reduction (or, preferably, nuking the whole tier from orbit, just to be sure) would appear.

In general, the community does not want stat-based gear progression. There are exceptions, of course, but (so far, at least) they are in minority.

TL/DR:
No, thank you, do not want.

Actions, not words.
