Craptrain.7203:

I’ve asked you (and others) 3 separate times to provide a quote where I belittle someone because they own a legendary, as you claim.

U didnt ask me. U asked other man here. But if u ask it of me now. I would provide it. Funny, how would you react, when i would shatter your last strawman. And u even though, that it was a good defence? Hahaha.

Craptrain.7203:

Running a sub-4 minute mile impresses me. Bench pressing 400 lbs impresses me. Speaking 3 languages impresses me. Playing 4 instruments proficiently impresses me.

Having access to a collection of pixels in a video game does not.

Here. Not legendary. Collection of pixels. Its quite obvious. Its like looking at ferrary and say. “Hah. Who needs ferrary? Its just a blob of junk.”

Craptrain.7203:

Why are you asking me yet again? Why not provide the quote the first time I asked? I’ve belittled your attitude, that’s true. You have a terrible attitude, but again, find me a quote where I say anything more than “people are indifferent to legendaries”. You claim I have some kind of Freudian hatred for lengendary owners, due to pent-up jealousy, because I don’t bow down and kiss their feet. Surely you can find a single quote where I express anything other than indifference, if that were true.

And if you think you’ve hurt my pride…haha, wow…are you off the mark.

Here. Now u would cry some more. But I hope it would make you a better person in the future.

Are you trying to argue that calling a legendary a “collection of pixels” is somehow belittling to legendary owners? Really? Really? HAHAHAHAHA.

Tell me, if legendaries are not collections of pixels what are they?

Want to try again? Because you just failed miserably.

PS: You used strawman incorrectly. You might want to look that one up, along with the words “pixel” and “belittle”.

JustTrogdor.7892:

Sergoros.4398:

U wrong here. Im not throwing my words like that. My statements is a result of analysis of your posts. Not some assumptions.

You are a terrible analyst then.

Care to put some reason why? Or its just your way out of argument?

-Hey! I got my diplom!

-Hey! I got cool car!

Do you get my pattern or is it to hard for ya?

pixel
[pik-suhl, -sel]
the smallest element of an image that can be individually processed in a video display system.

Tell me again a legendary is not a collection of pixels.

By the way your diploma and car analogies are complete failures. Junk has a negative connotation. Pixels does not. Diplomas are just pieces of paper. This is a fact. Are you saying people should be impressed by all diplomas? Is it impressive to graduate high school dead last in your graduating class? You do get a diploma for that, you know. Furthermore, you still haven’t shown how any of those 3 statements are belittling towards the owners of said objects. I’d also like you quote where I used the word “whatever” in regards to legendary owners, which could be construed as dismissive, if not belittling. Oh wait…I didn’t use it. That’s right.

So I’ll ask once more; want to try again? You’re still failing miserably to find a quote where I belittle the owners of legendaries.

Guess it was to hard. Or u trying to act stupid and defend yourself this way. Whatever…

Belittle – Make (someone or something) seem unimportant.

Now again…

-Hey! I got my diplom!
-Whatever. Its just paper. (Its not important, cause its just paper! Paper is not important!)

-Hey! I got cool car!
-Whatever. its just blob of junk (Its not important, cause its just junk! Junk is not important!)

-Hey! I got legendary
-Whatever. its just some pixels. (Its not important, cause its just pixels! Pixels are not important!)

Its a very definition of belittle. Your defence is made of nothing.

Care to read what I wrote and try again?

Find a quote where I belittle the owners of legendaries. This is the third time I’ve asked YOU personally. Calling a legendary a collection of pixels (which it is, this is a fact) is not belittling towards the owner. Try again.

So now u accept, that u did belittle legendarys? And now u trying to say, that u belittled only legendarys and not the owner? Try again bro. It was in a quote, where u said, what you would respect people for. So, that quote was about people. Not about item. So, basicaly, u said, that all their efforts was for some random pixels. Not for legendary, but for pixels. U belittled people achivements. And this is what I was talking about.

Legendarys are made of pixels. Same as diplom made of paper.

U could as well had said, Humans? pfff Just some blobs of flesh. Nothing important.

Its all in the same line.

Sergoros.4398:

So now u accept, that u did belittle legendarys?

Nope. I never said that. Try again.

Sergoros.4398:

Nope. I just said find me a quote where I belittle the owner. You still haven’t done that.

That’s a horribly incorrect interpretation. Furthermore, you have yet to demonstrate a legendary is not a collection of pixels.

Sergoros.4398:

Legendarys are made of pixels. Same as diplom made of paper.

True. But I never said I was impressed by every person who owns a diploma, now did I?

Sergoros.4398:

U could as well had said, Humans? pfff Just some blobs of flesh. Nothing important.

But I didn’t. I didn’t say “whatever”. I didn’t say “pfff”. I didn’t say “nothing important”. These are all additions you are making to try and make your analogies sound belittling. I, however, didn’t use those words at all.

Sergoros.4398:

You’re reaching. Really really reaching.

I dont. I already showed u a pattern. Its a pattern of belittling smth by calling it materials its made of. If materials arent important – then item is not important either. Thats how this pattern works. And u used it.

Sergoros.4398:

Allready found. But u dont want to accept it.

No. Your mistake in interpretation doesn’t change what my quote said. Try again.

Sergoros.4398:

I already disproved your so-called “pattern”. I’ll even disprove it further; find where I said pixels were unimportant. Starting to see how horribly incorrect your interpretation was?

So now I’ll ask for…what…the fifth time? Find me a quote where I belittle the owners of legendaries.

I own a Bolt. It took me almost 5 months of gameplay time but I finally got it. Am I proud to own that weapon? Yes, because in my opinion it is the best looking weapon in the game and it compliments my characters looks quite nicely.

That being said, for me Bolt is a weapon skin just like any other and I am just as proud of my Volcanus, my Grinning Skull Shield as I am of Bolt. I respect every legendary owner I come across, whatever their choice of legendary is simply because they have worked so hard for it. I don’t really care how common or exclusive that particular weapon is, they worked hard for it all the same.

You don’t help your case by inventing things I never said.

A) I never mentioned respect. I mentioned things that impressed me. World of difference. Not being impressed is not the same as disrespect. Being impressed is not the same as respecting.

B) I never said “There is nothing to respect in collection of pixels”. My exact quote was “having access to a collection of pixels in a video game does not (impress me)”. Making things up, even though it’s a common tactic of yours, will never win arguments.

So yeah, still no ring.

I’ll ask now for the sixth time: Find me a quote where I belittle the owners of legendaries.

I think my eyes have ruptured from the horrific spelling in this thread.

Its not making things up. Its showing them in more obvious light, so even blind could see the meaning. Guess it rly doesnt help with you.

Now. Ok. Tell. What was your reason for calling legendary a pixels? If not belittling.

We dont call diplom “paper” unless we wanna belittle it. So what reason U had?

whipplerama.3692:

Sergoros.4398:

No. Trying to change what someone said in order to fit your misinterpretation is making things up. Sorry.

Because they are. If you don’t think they are, feel free to prove otherwise.

Sergoros.4398:

By your logic, if I said “A diploma is one useful piece of paper” it would be belittling. But guess what…it’s not.

“Running a sub-4 minute mile impresses me. Bench pressing 400 lbs impresses me. Speaking 3 languages impresses me. Playing 4 instruments proficiently impresses me.

In this sentence, Diploms would have been belittled. Wont u agree?

Because humans are not just blobs of flesh. They’re far more complex. However an image on a screen is not. It’s pixels. There’s no musculature. No skeletal system. No neural pathways. It’s just a collection of pixels.

The OP asked a question. I answered. I’m sorry if my choosing not to be suitably impressed by an accomplishment in a video game pushes your buttons. If anyone is ego-involved, it sounds more like you are.

P.S. kindly leave the psycho-analysis to the professionals.

But what makes you want to belittle others, while u answer this question? Why everytime, to proff, that they not special, u have to allways tell yourself, that they didnt do smth special? To rephrase your answer, it would look like that:
“When i see someone with legendary, i start telling myself, that they Or dont deserve them (paid) Or nolifers(grind)”.

Your rephrase is what’s called a straw man. You put words in that I didn’t say in order to counter a point that I didn’t make.

Now I’ll ask you a question. Why try to start an argument about what some random strangers on the internet think about other random strangers? Do you have a legendary? You seem to feel that people who have one deserve admiration from others. Why?

I saw you ask another poster what would impress them, and they responded with accomplishments in real life. I’ll say what impresses me in a video game. It’s people who help others in the game; reviving the fallen; calling out events that others might want to attend; offering information; coming to help when people ask for it. I find stuff like that makes me think well of them. The quality of their gear I am neutral about.

I used to be impressed by legendaries. I went and made my own sunrise and I was proud. But then came the selling of legendaries. Now I feel like it’s just a nice skin on my gs warrior…

Same as humans, legendarys are not just collection of pixels. Its accumulated efforts of designers, programmers and players, that bring them to life. Same as diplom not just a paper. It has words on it, u know. Same goes for car or any object. Thats why calling em “collection of pixels”, “paper” “blob of junk” is belittling. And u know it. U just act innocent and trying to convince me, that u just so stupid and dont understand it. But I know the truth. And any sane man, that read it, would understand it too.

Wrong. I didnt put words in your mouth. They existed there from the start. I just revealed the true meaning behind em. Like u said yourself
“My first thought when I see a Legendary is, “Hmm, bought with cash or grind?” My second is, “I hope he thinks the ‘expense’ was worth it.””
Bought with cash or grind. Do u get it? U accept only 2 negative routes. U dont think, that mby player didnt grind. He just played this game and eventually got all the needed ingredients? No. Only cash or grind. Thats what i was talking about.

I dont like, when people hide their envy/jealousy behind “i dont care” mask. Its not working. All the poison shows. Even when u trying to hide it.

Next. Yes. Like I already said, I do have legendary. Though, its fine for me anyway. Haters? Fine. Nocareers? Fine? the ones, who love em? Fine. But i hate, when haters says that they doesnt care. U can’t hide it.

Listen, I’m really sorry that your self-esteem suffers because the legendary you thought would bring you love and admiration instead brought you only indifference, but trying to pass your misinterpretation of my words off as reality won’t bring you the respect you so desperately crave. Look around, in fact, it’s brought you lots of posters that probably disdain you now, due to your immature attitude.

Look around, in fact, it’s brought you lots of posters that probably disdain you now, due to your immature attitude.

Im right, cause u bad? Well. Expected attitude.

To answer the initial question,

yes, I am somewhat impressed when I see people wielding legendary weapons, because I assume that they have put a lot of effort into getting them. Do I admire them for it? Not really. Being impressed and admiring someone is not the same.

To explain this a little further, am I impressed with what top athletes do with their bodies, or some classically trained musicians? Absolutely. Would I trade my own life for theirs? Doing exactly one thing with my life, to the extreme? Nah. I’m happy doing one thousand things and not shining brightly at any one of them, but it does allow me to do many, many things instead of just few things, and make many more experiences.

I am impressed, but I don’t envy them. And I definitely don’t think they’re better at life, or in general, better people, so I don’t admire them either.

I feel the same about legendaries. Good on you if you have them, and I like to look at you wielding your weapon, and I think to myself, crab, you must have put in so many hours for this. Do I think you’re the better player, or in any other way more awesome, no, not really. Would I trade places with you? If I really wanted a legendary so badly, I’d put in the effort and get one. So, no.

I’ve been slowly working towards a legendary, but I’ve been playing regularly since launch and I’m not particularly close to it. So like most others have said.. I find it hard to be impressed, since all it means is that the player was extremely lucky, grinded a lot and/or spent a lot of real life money.

It’s a good goal to strive towards and I’ll be pretty pleased when I can eventually make my own, but I see it as more of a personal accomplishment, rather than something to brag about.

Sergoros.4398:

Thats why I said, that impressed is just wrong word. Now tell me, what would get you impressed in guild wars 2? Specific example pls )

I won’t give names, but as an example, there are several WvW commanders that i do respect. I don’t respect them because they bought a blue tag – i do that, because they have shown time and time again to be good commanders. Of course, the tag makes their actions more noticeable.

The same applies to legendaries – i can be impressed by someone playing really well, or “impressed” when someone floors in even the simplest encounters. Holding an attention beacon like legendary just makes those actions more noticeable, sometimes making me pay more attention to the person than i usually would.
But then, doing some outstanding things (in both positive and negetive meaning of this word) would get my attention faster.

TL/DR – if you are worthy of respect, having a legendary sometimes help other people in noticing that. If you are not… you’d better not call attention to yourself or you’re going to regret it.

Sergoros.4398:

Impressed is just wrong word to ask the question. It puts person own ego to low. So not many people would accept it.

I think you’re on the right track there, but I don’t so much think it’s the word itself that’s wrong, as the arbitrary restrictions that are being placed on it in some posts in this thread. If I say “I’m impressed by firefighter X, who risked his own life to save another” and “I’m impressed that player Y achieved a goal in the game he plays,” I honestly believe that most reasonable people will instantly understand the enormous disparity of degree between those two statements. The word is robust enough to encompass them both (because language is awesome). Context matters.

People don’t want to admit it but of course people like people with legendary weapons, it means they’re rich and everyone wants to be buddy buddy with the rich guy.

You see the poor guys have any chicks around them? Nope. You see that rich guy, all those chicks are his.

Even though 90% of female toons in GW2 are males in real life, don’t ask me why people play female toons, all female toons attract are males.

Simple question really, do seeing a person with a legendary make you go like; “Ohhh!”, are you indifferent, or another reaction?

Is there any reputation on getting one?

Would you go for it for the reputation or for the looks?

If it became harder/easier would you appreciate it more/less?

If you do appreciate something from legendaries or its users, what is it?

I like the look of some legendary weapons. But the method for obtaining them is just a very long farm, devoid of any difficulty past the need to invest countless hours. When I see someone with one i think: ‘cool greatsword’. But it doesn’t say anything about the guy who got it, besides the fact he’s got a lot of spare time.

In my case, better VA. I actually looooove the fem asura VA, though I do have a male toon as well, just haven’t leveled him far enough for me to feel he’s worth listing in my signature.

Interesting you say legendary users are rich, they’re normally broke from putting all of their money in to their mats for their legendary.

Though I like the look of some of the legendries, it says absolutely nothing about someone’s skill or experience. You could even get a legendary your first day of playing, just bust out your credit card.

Sounds like you found out about that 90% the hard way.

I’ve asked you (and others) 3 separate times to provide a quote where I belittle someone because they own a legendary, as you claim.

U didnt ask me. U asked other man here. But if u ask it of me now. I would provide it. Funny, how would you react, when i would shatter your last strawman. And u even though, that it was a good defence? Hahaha.

Craptrain.7203:

Running a sub-4 minute mile impresses me. Bench pressing 400 lbs impresses me. Speaking 3 languages impresses me. Playing 4 instruments proficiently impresses me.

Having access to a collection of pixels in a video game does not.

Here. Not legendary. Collection of pixels. Its quite obvious. Its like looking at ferrary and say. “Hah. Who needs ferrary? Its just a blob of junk.”

Craptrain.7203:

Why are you asking me yet again? Why not provide the quote the first time I asked? I’ve belittled your attitude, that’s true. You have a terrible attitude, but again, find me a quote where I say anything more than “people are indifferent to legendaries”. You claim I have some kind of Freudian hatred for lengendary owners, due to pent-up jealousy, because I don’t bow down and kiss their feet. Surely you can find a single quote where I express anything other than indifference, if that were true.

And if you think you’ve hurt my pride…haha, wow…are you off the mark.

Here. Now u would cry some more. But I hope it would make you a better person in the future.

Are you trying to argue that calling a legendary a “collection of pixels” is somehow belittling to legendary owners? Really? Really? HAHAHAHAHA.

Tell me, if legendaries are not collections of pixels what are they?

Want to try again? Because you just failed miserably.

PS: You used strawman incorrectly. You might want to look that one up, along with the words “pixel” and “belittle”.

The fact you react time and again shows you’re a total jerk and a carebear.

My 2 cents: legendaries as they are now aren’t “legendary” but “I grinded cof for 5 months straight”. I’m okay with people ruining their lives, but I don’t think they should get rewarded for it.

Now a proper reply to the questions:

“Ohhh!”, are you indifferent, or another reaction?
= I think, ohhh, he farmed a lot. What a no-lifer.

Is there any reputation on getting one?
= the reputation of being a mindless idiot.

Would you go for it for the reputation or for the looks?
= I wouldn’t get it ever, because the way to optain it is contradictory to the name.

If it became harder/easier would you appreciate it more/less?
= I think legendaries should be optained by true skill in the game, not by gold farming or tp flipping

If you do appreciate something from legendaries or its users, what is it?
= that they’re morons and they die very fast in WvW when I attack them

EDIT: After some thought I think the general consensus is making the item account bound on creation, allowing it to be shared among several characters but not sellable in TP.

Normally, they are bothering me. Not because of the “over-the-top effects”, but because most of the time, they are ugly as hell and I can’t understand how in the world would someone even WANT to fight with it.

Reputation ? Except the one of “low/no-life gamer, who either paid for it or farmed for weeks” ? It’s like the commander book (and the title with it); everyone can get it.

Neither, actually. I like to roleplay a character when I play a game, and I’m pretty sure fighting with a shortbow that looks like a unicorn on crack isn’t really…immersive.

Harder ? Like…actually doing something epic for it ? A real quest, with a reward (Not rng-bullkitten) at the end ? Sure, why not ?

Easier ? Then what’s the point of it ? And why are we even calling it a “Legendary” in the first place if “XXxxxEl3ten0obxxxXX” gets his hands on it like so many people before him ?

I do appreciate the fact that, somewhere at ArenaNet, there’s a guy with his tablet and his computer who’s allowed to design amazing things, specially these weapons we’ll never get to see. I love it when devs have a certain freedom of choice, and I sure am cheering for these guys and the hard work they do. Imagine this, they have to show these ideas to their boss(es) and accept that some of it might not even see the game’s engine.

And from the legendaries’ users, well…

I have yet to see one who’s not here to just show it off, specially in low-levels areas. Seriously, stop it. We all know you’re lacking somewhere else. It’s obvious.

to the question in the OP

No… i am not impressed by Legendaries all that much anymore

Nothing about a legendary takes skill. It just requires a ton of time or a thousand bucks.

So if I use my legendary in a low level area I’m showing off and compensating for something? You think I should switch to a different weapon? Lol, I’ve never seen anyone so irrationally upset over something to trivial.

I got my legendary today

Why yes, I impress me
