Guild Wars 2

To be obtainable outside of fractal in the future?
Rings and amulet are now obtainable with dailies, which is great, but what about the back piece?
Will i still be forced to get into fractals to get it in near future?

Because it’s an higher tier gear, and i’m forced to do something i don’t want to in order to get it.

The chance to be on par with gear while playing the way i like the most was one of the main reasons why i bought this game, and that’s definetly going to be the reason for me to quit it, if i’m no longer allowed to.

The same argument can be made in reverse – if players want to obtain an ascended amulet, they’re “forced” to run a month’s worth of dailies. Since the ascended gear is distributed across multiple acquisition methods, it balances out, as far as I’m concerned.

Beyond that, if you’ve read much on the issue you’ll find a number of dev posts indicating that the implementation of ascended gear is still very much in progress – they’ve confirmed much more gear to come and possible alternate routes to obtaining either the gear itself, or laurels. It’s quite probable that you’ll see alternate methods to acquiring ascended backpieces (not necessarily the ones currently in game) soon.

Considering that the amulets are only obtainable through laurel vendors, I don’t see why you would expect back items from them. Currently both Fractals and Laurels have an ascended gear slot exclusive to them – sounds reasonable to me.

I’m aware of the fact that actually ascended gear purpose is to counter agony level in fractal, but with increased stats your character gets better in world events, other dungeons and wvw, which is wrong.
I don’t pretend to have that from laurels, but i do pretend to have another way to get it outside fractals, maybe wvw.

You only need one vial of essence from 1-10 to create a back item. If you can’t sit through an hour or so of fractals for that, you might not want an ascended back item that badly.

On the other hand, why do I have to do a bunch of open world stuff for my dailies and monthlies in order to get an amulet? I mean, I don’t actually mind. Just making a point.
