Ascended Gear - Really that much hate?
They did tell us from the very beginning that there would be “pink” items. It’s just now that they’ve actually given them a name. We will probably have a similar uproar when they eventually add in Legendary Armor.
People on the forum seem to feel the need to be overly melodramatic in their posting of their dislike of this new content. Helpful critical feedback tends to get thrown out the window.
Yes and that alone is not the biggest gripe, the biggest gripe is that pvp is boring and broken and they have jumped through hoops introducing new pve gear and maps and such. But pvp is fundamentally screwed, its just bad, its more than simply a matter of bug fixes, its a matter of bad dynamics. And its actually gotten worse. Every aspect of pvp in this game is boring and has become more boring, anything that is not mash button spam spam spam has been kittened. The tactics used in GW2 pvp are the same tactics used in Zombie herds.
