The way Anet implemented ascended items does not fit the game. Its nice that we have another set other than exotic which allows u to do content u cant with just pure exotics but the fact that ascended items give u a major stat upgrade, once u have the full set, was a pointless thing to add to a game, which is suppose to be skill based. I dont understand y they cant just add ascended items which dont give u the stats upgrade but allow u to get more AR on ur armour, say 15 ar each piece of armour/weap. This will allow those ppl, who enjoy doing harder content and like to grind, enjoy the game but it wont let ppl be over powered in WvW and wont force most ppl to grind for ascended items. I already predict a bunch of ppl coming here saying. “YOU DONT HAVE TOOOOO!” well u kind of do if u want to play the game and not get ur kitten handed to u every time u play vs someone who spends countless hours on the game and has 1k+ gold. All i know is that this game is heading in the wrong direction. I’m pretty sure this will be the last tier of armour added but it still goes against what makes gw2, gw2, a MMO where u can take a few months off, come back, and still be able to compete with ppl who spend everyday playing. For me, ill be playing tpvp until…. kitten ill prob not go back to pve unless this game goes from time>skill to skill>time and less mother lovin GRINDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
