Guild Wars 2

In a recent article Colin Johanson explained how he felt about adding ascended gear into GW2. "I think that ascended gear was something we should have had at launch.
“We didn’t’ have something above exotic level you put in a lot of time and earn it, but you don’t have to put in your whole life to earn like a legendary weapon.”

So my question to you is, would there be such an uproar if ascended gear came out prior to the launch of GW2 or would you still feel the same?

Personally I have no issue with ascended gear, I went for my back piece predominantly for the skin. I haven’t felt the need to go above exotic with accessories, for me it’s not that major of a bump to put the amount of time needed.

Now don’t get me wrong I can understand why people would be disgruntled. They were told no gear treadmill, and one was created. Which I hope Anet takes into major consideration before adding any new items.

fractals = AR = ascended gear = challange = close thread.

I was looking for a discussion not some snide response.
That’s also generalizing that everyone does fractals.

well don’t post uneducated posts. you know full well that ascended was released because exotic was to easy to get and legendary is for the very FEW % and you know kitten well there will be more gear types in the future.

How is my post uneducated? I quoted something from a source, you are basing all you ideas on speculation. Did you even read what I wrote?

I would. Of course the treadmill itself is a bad thing, one that’s enough to cause uproar, but it’s not the only problem with this gear. The other is the price. It’s just way too high – certainly in the “you have to put your whole life to earn” cathegory they said it won’t be in. Which is fine for vanity equipment, but not for stat advantage.
