Guild Wars 2

I read that there will be a time lengthening component in the collection journey to maintain the precursor’s ‘prestige’. I hope it won’t take longer than to farm the gold from SW and buy the pre off the TP straight…

Time gating was one of the worst things the game did.

Not sure, the new ones you wont be able to buy from the TP anyway, as far as the old ones. then I think you will just have to wait like the rest of us to find out when HoT comes out. I am pretty certain though that it wont be something that you can do in a couple of weekends.

Also – Before you can complete the ‘legendary journey’ to collect all of the items you need to craft one of the new precursors, you will first have to have completed all of the mastery tiers for pre-cursor crafting. So yes, it is likely to take significantly longer.

It’s going to take about as long to do as grinding the gold to buy it.
1, They specifically said they wanted to preserve the time/gold sink
2. That’s where its going to equalize, so there may be a few changes depending on where they set the bars.
