Hi, I have 2 lvl 80 characters (guardian and mesmer) with 4 crafting professions at 400 between them. I’m mainly into spvp and wvw. Sometimes I jump into PvE to help out friends who are leveling or to do a cursed sure run but I’m really over PvE and loving PvP and WvW.
I stopped playing my guardian because the exotic crafted gear makes him look like an s/m bondage weirdo (the lvl 45ish armor looked so cool). The only way to get cool looking stuff is to grind dungeons which i hate. So i just play my mesmer since at least the crafted exotic armor looks ok for light.
You’ve given us so many options for max stats weapons like crafted, bought on the trading post, mystic weapons, drops, legendary, dungeons etc…. Why is cool armor only available from dungeons or super overprices cultural? Its so frustrating i don’t want to grind NPC’s or do stupid jumping puzzels. I just want to play against other people. Why am i penalized for that??? And now with this patch again its just dungeon focused. And soon in wvw im going to be disadvantaged.
I spent so much time in PvE farming up the materials and leveling my crafting to get full exotic items, why isn’t there a way for me to use that to get this new teir of items?
Not so soon, there will pass a lot of time before some people are fully geard with the new gear. And majority of players will still be just on exotic level.
Guild wars should be war between orders, because orders are guilds too.
You can use transmutation stones, to mix the looks to your preference, so what’s your point?
I don’t know man i never tried it but all the trasmutation stones I’ve ever picked up are basic ie up to level 79. I can buy the master ones for a heap of gold from the gem store, doesn’t seem worth it. And don’t i need both bits of armor in my inventory? Again this means i’d need to grind the armor look i want in dungeons??? Correct me if im wrong. But if i’m right your not helping…
Just to echo what others have said, there are other ways to get transmute stones besides the gem shop. I definitely reccomend them!
Your character should look how you want it to
You can try the gw2 wiki or google to see ways to obtain them – I honestly forget the methods but I have 40 in my bank (the level 80 vsrsions) and I have never purchased them from the gem shop. If I knew I’d tell ya
Thanks heaps for the info, I only have 100% on a few maps lvl 70-80 ones mainly and didn’t get any, I just got to lvl 80 asap and didn’t look back so to speak, I’m not interested in legendary weapons just max stats so i didn’t bother…. Well this patch ruined all that, anyway looks like i might need to go back to PvE land for a while or stop playing…:) thanks again.

That’s pretty much how it’s always been in GW2, and GW1 for that matter as well.
You play through PvE to unlock/obtain the armor and weapons to use in PvP.

No sir you are wrong, guild wars 1 was nothing like that. I had one lvl 20 character in GW1 who was not maxed out at all i could unlock skills and items using points i gained in pvp. After a while i could within minutes roll any class with max gear and be on a even playing field in ANY form of pvp. In GW2 this is only possible in sPvP. Before this patch exotics gave a nice even and achievable PvE goal and max gear could be obtained a number of different ways depending on what you like to do. For the time being at least wvw and max gear seems to be handed to the 0 skill dungeon grinding PvE nubs who think killing npc’s with 50000000000 hp is fun.
