Guild Wars 2

Hi,
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in there like everyone else. Now, this isnt a rant against ascended items, but rather how they are acquired as it makes no sense to me.

Ascended items have a slot for infusions to mitigate a fractal-specific “mechanic” called agony.

Previously, this defense was avialable only by running fractals and purchased with pristine fractal relics, or via chest lool

Now, we can buy with lauarels. I have no problem with that.

With this current patch, ascended amulets were introduced. You can ONLY buy these from laurels, not by doing fractals. My quesiton is this: What logic says that ascended amulets should only be available via laurels, which carry a fractal-specific slot? This makes no sense to me. They should be available from running fractals as well, because they are USED and needed for fractals.

I dont understand this. What was the logic behind this decision? Was this an oversight?

Because they have this idea that people will just use their saved fractal relics to get these items right away and not do the dailies.

In all honesty if these people put the effort in they should be rewarded.

cesmode.4257:

The reason you don’t understand it is because there was no logic behind any of the Ascended gear, and all of it was very poorly implemented. And this latest patch, if anything, only made it worse.
