Guild Wars 2

I got to the point where I dont want to continue playing. After ~400 hours ingame, I decided to get precursor, as there was nothing else to get. Every day precursors become more expensive, so there was just no way to keep my money and buyout from TP, I simply had to try get it out of MF. Of course, after hundreds of gold, I ended with empty pocket and no precursor. Trying rares, exotics, still no success. I did not come here to whine and cry, it was my decision to try my luck.

But lets face the fact, there are basically two ways how to obtain precursor (i dont count TP). Chest and mystic forge. Chance from chest is so low that is not even worth to mention. Sure, few people got it, but waiting maybe even few years for it is not an option. Obviously the best chance to get it is via MF.

What do you think about it, is it right? I mean, if I would want to play hazard game, I would go to casino. I hope dev are happy with themselves for implenting korean random into the game. Whats worse, it’s not only problem of precursors, whole game is infected with random stuff.

Yeah it is “right”. The only problem I have is with the guys that exploited certain mechanics to get their legendaries in the first weeks.

The jump from getting your exotics to legendary is too high, with the MF and its RNG lottery and the DR so grinding mats is harder I think they should have added some layers in between.

Too late now.

Well, they are trying to do that right now with the ascended gear. But by the looks of it the last item type that gets ascended are the weapons.

You risk hundreds of gold for a precursor weapon, knowing it takes hundreds of gold and many many people already gave enough proof that the odds are highly against you in order to obtain one.
Which instead, you could simply buy it off the with all that gold.

You do not get my sympathy.

We could always take the gamble of… use all our gold on MF, if we get the one then we keep playing, else we move on to a better game :o Oh, and remember to ask for your full refund

With ~300gold I can hardly buy precursor I want, and every day it’s more expensive so it would be infinite…

It’s not about my lose, it’s sick someone is using random system for such an important stuff .

I’m glad legendary weapons aren’t so easy to obtain anymore.
I pretty much see them everywhere nowadays, which is a bit silly.

It just really depends in your luck.. Just farm token then trade it for weapon… I got my precursor on my 3rd try in mystic forge yet im still gambling in mystic forge hoping to get a 2nd precursor then ill sell it for gold

The problem is, for me, that the legendary weapon achievement is on your log in screen. It’s right there all the time. A big blank space. All the other achievements are easy to get, and that one doesn’t fit in.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t even care about a legendary. By putting that on the screeen, it’s a constant reminder that I don’t have one.

You know, it’s not like I’ll play better or stay alive longer with a legendary. It’s just cool looking. And in fact, most of them aren’t all that cool looking to me. Some are downright silly.

But that blank spot is very annoying. And I have a precusor.

1200+ hours and still not interested in making a legendary, UNLESS Anet change the way we can acquire a precursor.

The price of precursor has been increasing almost exponentially which is silly.

They dont care they are far more interested in pushing back content and making new things than fixing what they have done. Seems that is the way it is.
I have no plans to buy one ever.

Oh my, this post made me laugh. Do you know what “exponentially” means?

Hint: This isn’t what an exponential curve looks like.

For those aiming for legendary item just think this way.. Dont expect something so you wont get frustrated just play the game and someday youll get it..

First of all I start with this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE-b3hvosAE .Secondly,although I already am at a point i have thrown 885 rares at mf getting no precursor of course I Can accept the silly fact that you can only get precursors through MF (I have opened more than 2000 dungeon chests+ about 500 fractal chests including high level fractals 30-40+)I have killed Jormag so many times that he should fly away in fear when he sees me and not only I haven’t obtained a precursor but haven’t even been at a scene which someone obtained one. Assuming dungeons go with 5 ppl 2000 chests x 5 ppl = 0/10000 chests thats a chance lower then a lightning hitting the same place twice. Still I accept that. What I CANT accept is that some ppl exploited certain bugs and run around freely with their legendary weps + flipping about 20-100 precursors in their inventories and banks.ON TOP of that these same people CONTROL the precursors market 100%. I have a “friend” which has about 18 dusks on his accounts. While in global market there are only ~12 available.This whole thing is just at a point that reached the utmost level of superb badness. That covers everything i think. Give us a way or show us the way out imo.Dunno who else is with me.

Have you looked at the 1 year trend on that link you posted? Ok so it’s not exponentially… but it’s not on a downward slide either. Precursors only have one way on a chart, and that’s up. As long as demand is there and supply is low, that line continues to head upwards.

They need to make it so Precursor’s are earned by completing a long Quest chain or a Scavenger hunt. Put some story into it.

Having to save up 500+ gold is ridiculous. Right now, Dusk is 665 gold.

That’s not okay. Saying “Leave it to the RNG Gods, someday you’ll get it” is the same as saying “Give up, it’s not worth it bro”. Which, honestly, it’s not. Not 665 gold. I’ll dish out 665 gold when that Legendary can dance, fold my laundry and rub my shoulders. Actually…even then I wouldn’t.

“give everyone legendaries, its too much work to get something unique”

Legendaries are SUPPOSE to be hard to get….

There’s no real other barrier than gold to keep them unreachable from the common player.

But here’s the thing – many people claim they got all the gifts besides the precursor.
Gifts value > precursor.
So why not just farm for the precursor the same way they did for gifts?
It is not an unreachable amount, they already earned more than its worth through the gifts.

It is laziness.

You miss the point “The point is give everyone the SAME AMOUNT OF WORK to get a legendary” For example, I dont care if I have to burn 5000 rares. I care that we all have to burn 5000.You get it?

That is RNG for you though. For all you know you could always get your precursor the ‘next’ time. People only make threads like this because they weren’t as ‘lucky’ as their neighbor.

Legendaries are overrated anyway, in my opinion there are plenty of skins out there that are cooler.

Who gives a kitten about the skins????
It’s the effects that make them appeal to everyone.

GS aside, all legendaries got skins that can be easily replaced by other cooler ones.

They’ve already said that the scavenger hunt or something similar to get a precursor will be introduced in the future. Stop crying already… it’s getting old. As long as there are people willing to pay current prices for the precursors (which is the case), they are not overpriced.

If you feel a legendary is out of reach for you, there are plenty of crafted exotics that are a worthy alternative and much cheaper too. Foefire weapons, Volcanus, Anomaly, Mjolnir to name a few…

They might not be overpriced but they are increasing in “time invested” requirement (and that already varies wildly based on luck) and that just shouldn’t happen.

This doesn’t include people investing long term in rare items on TP which is fine and should lower the time investment considerably but shouldn’t be a baseline when deciding on how long the average one should be.

to each is own challenge.

keep farming, youll be so “legendary”.

and watch me and my skills i practiced while you “farmed” own you in 1vs1
legendaries are more often than not a sign of weakness (or some people with too much money, but i guess thats more rare).

Let me guess…you already have one, your statement sounds as if it is coming from someone who already has one. Every person I have seen saying this in game chat is standing there with a legendary equipped.

“aren’t so easy to obtain anymore” have they ever been easy to obtain? I too don’t think it should be “easy” and there should be work to get one..but on the other hand..there should be a few more drops and other ways to obtain what is needed to make one.

I agree that legendary items are kind of a waste of time and just items available for people to stroke their in-game ego. No one will ever need a legendary; it simply is a grindy cosmetic item since it serves no functional purpose. I guess it’s scaling when ascended weapons are introduced makes it sort of worth it, but again you could probably get those ascended weapons with less money and grind factor.

I got to say though that your internet kitten jousting is pretty funny. You say people who have legendary items are so full of themselves and think they are awesome, and then you go on to say how awesome you are and that you can own anybody with a legendary in 1vs1. Pot i would like to introduce you to kettle. Other than that though I thought your post was right on.
