Guild Wars 2

Replace the D3 stuff of the following link with the appropriate GW2 references, and make a GW2 version of this article on this thread. Let’s see who can make the best GW2 rendition of:

That pretty much sums up the direction GW2 is heading, especially with the introduction of Ascended gear, which has better stats than slotted/jeweled exotics, PLUS an infusion slot on top of it.

I disagree. Even though I am totally against this looming gear tread mill being forcibly imposed, I do not agree with your weak premise.

Up until now I have enjoyed this game without needing anything from the BLTC. Now recently I did buy Gem Cards, but I only did so for cosmetics and a bank expansion, and I didn’t need any of that, just something I chose to get.

Unlike D3 where in order to succeed you had to use the GAH/RMAH, you do not have to do so in GW2.

I whole heartedly agree. As a matter of fact, when I first read the article on ascended gear, I though of D3 immediately

Uhm, no ascended gear no resistence to Agony, no content progression……..Gear grind or BLTC

I made money in d3 and never used real money to buy stuff.. anyway if you are trolling i’ll still bite.. you dont use real money to buy gear..so this post is off.

Either grind like mad, 10+ hours a day every day for miniscule drop rates or open your wallet and buy it all from the AH (TP).

Hmm, I wonder which is easier.

Worked in D3 so I guess it works here too.

well i do level 80 content with level 75 none exotic sword…. im not that worryed about it.

even if the stats are better, how much and is it worth if…. probably not alot

I’m not sure that that post can be applicable to GW2.

But I thoroughly enjoyed that post – if only complaints were hidden under such clever sarcasm in this forum. At least they would be entertaining.

We only have evidence of a gear treadmill.

We don’t have evidence that said gear treadmill will be fueled by real money.

When I see level 80 exotics with worse stats than level 50 blues I might start to believe you.
