Guild Wars 2

“This new rarity type falls between Exotic and Legendary on the spectrum of rarity and has slightly higher stats than Exotics”

Why does it seem like people only read the “Has slightly higher stats than Exotics” part?

If this is still considered as a gear treadmill, why isn’t the idea of legendaries seen as a gear treadmill? Or are people just assuming that Anet are going to keep on creating new tiers?

Because Legendary has the same stats as Exotic, there was no gap to fill.

Because ANet told us, for years, that this game wouldn’t have a gear treadmill.

Because they lied about “slightly” http://i.imgur.com/BeyFB.png

Because legendaries DON’T HAVE HIGHER STATS.

Anet has said they’re going to continue to release infusions. I don’t see what the assumption is there when they say it.

Arenanet said in a german article today that they won’t say ‘ascended is the last tier to be added’ in case of back lash like this. So yes, there will be more. Theres a topic that shows the stat increase currently is close to 15%, and thats just with fine infusions. Theres still masterwork, rare, exotic, and ascended infusions to go.

Not a slight increase at all.

Maybe i’m wrong, but i’m fairly sure legendaries have around 90-100 more weapon strength than exotics. (For 2h at least)

You are wrong. In release all Legendaries were normalized to Exotic stat levels.
