Guild Wars 2

Imagine GW2 to be basketball. You are in highschool playing it , its all about the cool jerseys, air nikes, offensive/defensive meta tactics that change with each player on the court.

Now you have graduated , and have kids, and your kids want to play basketball with you , wearing their new multicolored lebron james jersey, and his futuristic shoe line. You play together and have fun. That used to be GW2

Now insert ascended gear into the analogy.

You had fun in highschool, now 3 months x 5 years later , you have kids who want to play BBall with daddy. But they are wearing a bionic suit and specially enhanced spring boots that lets them dunk. Are they having fun, hell yes, are you having fun, hell no? Why? Because ask yourself, is this the basketball you knew?

If you play for today, you will enjoy ascended gear/fotm/karka smashing, if you play for tomorrow , you will be pissing your pants and screaming for a kitten to love you. Play for tomorrow my friends , let the sponsors change the stadium, change the brand, change the fashion…. NOT CHANGE THE GAME.

Threads like this already exist. Post in them instead of flooding the forums with new ones.

Exotic gear was better than rare before ascended gear came along. Rare was better than masterwork, masterwork better than fine, fine better than normal. Nothing has changed.

Go hit them where it hurts. Post all over online buying sites before the Holidays. Their revenues will dry up, and someone will get fired.

Except that you can’t get ascended gear from the trading post, or with karma. Nope, nothing at all.

Except that you can, just not directly. Plus, they’ve already said they’re going to add more ways to acquire it.

When pray tell, and why not at launch of this abomination?

Its simple stormleaf, you are taking the same example for two subsets of theories.
First theory is, the game is based on 6 stages, and will always BE designed in 6 stages, 6 being last.
Your second theory is , the game has an unknown amount of levels, only 6 have been discovered so far.

There fore when you introduce a new element, you have to identify your base theory, and GW2 originally was the first theory for all scientific purposes……. till….
