Q:

So there was multiple times the statement that with the Ascended Gear the “huge”-Gap between Exotics and Legendaries will be fixed.
(Which NOONE ever asced for btw)

But maybe its only my missunderstanding,
as far as i can see there were only legendary-weapons, there were NO LEGEDNARY ARMOR!

So now they introduce Ascended ARMOR! (Jewelery for now, but others will follow i guess)

Simply conclusion here, someone with Ascended Armor AND a Legendary is stronger than someone with a full Exotic Set

So how is this supposed to close the gap? It widens it!

A:

Like Stang said it was all about time investment and not about object type or power.

In a couple of weeks you’re done with your exotic armor. Then your options were a named weapon another 2 weeks to perhaps a month or a legendary weapon which would take 6 months to a year.

Now some of us are fine with playing the game for a year before we reach our reward but others dont think like that. They arent able to enjoy the game without being rewarded and they can fathom waiting for up to a year before reaching that reward!

Thats what Ascended gear trys to do. Provide rewards that can be achieved in a single day, require a bit more long term playing but on the other hand dont leave you for months without anything tangable to enjoy.

Time investment gap is what they sought to fix.

Power gap is what they created with it.

And in the process time investment gap got wider too.

Indeed and failing to realise that the section of the community demanding it do not want to invest any time and play the game for years to finally get there… but do actually want the power gap as a reward and want it now. The other gap that’s been created is the community split that will only get wider it’s just seems impossible to bring the 2 sides together now that’s probably the real shame in it all.
