and this is y gw2 ( guild wars 2) became gw2 ( grind wars 2). seriously look at all that kitten u need for ascended items, nothing is skill based and its a bunch of grind grind grind grind grind. this game is becoming f***in garbage bc of all the f***in grind they r adding. WHERE THE F*** R THE CHALLENGES TO GET ASCENDED ITEMS?! there is none everything is kittenin grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind GRIND! this game is becoming f***** up.

Skill based stuff is coming. They’ve been testing the waters with things like Liadri. As for the grind, yes, sadly, that’s what many players want. If you have any suggestions for A-net,I’m sure they’d love to hear them in the suggestion forum.

Well, sort of. Keep in mind that ascended will be the last teir A-net implements forever (at least for years). In addition, you’re not being forced to get this stuff, unless you want to do high lvled fractals or WvW. Because of this, you can go at your own pace — there is no need to grind. That’s what I’ve been doing since launch, and I’m only a precursor and a few T6 mats away from Frostfang. I’ve only really grinded once or twice, and that was because I felt like doing so. Personally, I’m going to take my time getting ascended weapons, and only work on them as I have the resources to do so.

Really? You work for ANet or sumeing?

They said you wont get new tier….THIS YEAR. Next..probably, eithr that or level cap raise to obsolete all your gear.

Of course, there will also be new infusions, infusions are at blue tier so quite a bit of room for grind there and sigils/runes, and then some more infusions.

Enjoy, because from now on most of your time will be spent by chasing ever bigger and bigger stats.

aka gear tradmill.

No, I don’t work for A-net; I’m simply understanding. A-net said they wouldn’t be implementing a new tier because they didn’t think they had to. However, as was stated by them, they felt the need to because the gap between exotics and legendaries was too crazy big — so they decided to fill that gap. I do believe they also said they had the intent to have ascended in the game from the start originally, but for whatever reason decided against it — until they ran into this problem. Now that the gap has been filled, there is no reason to add more.

On another topic, you say you are worried about infusions growing more diverse & expensive. While I never thought of this before, I doubt it will happen.

I don’t know if you read what I said, but I said I don’t really “chase” after anything — especially stats. That’s the reason I got GW2. I know you’re worried, but there’s no reason to be paranoid. A-net doesn’t want to turn this game into a gear treadmill any more than you do. The grind for these items was mostly implemented to fill the progression gap, not to start a treadmill.

So stop worrying you silly goose.

Theres already gear treadmill. I dont know what have you been doing lately.

They even said there will be gear treadmill, you are getting new gear to grind every few months and that wont stop.

Ascended WIDENED the gap between exotic and legendary since it uses same resources.

And new tier can appear as easy as ascended did, but they will make you grind so much with ascended (and infusions) that indeed level cap raise will most likely come first. But theres always possibility of new tier especially if they are late with expansion – bam – new tier that makes you grind launch content ad nasueum just like ascended does.

No worries at all, kinda GW2 is 99,9% of my radar since if i want what they decided to offer there are plenty of games that do it much much better.

There aren’t any games that do it much much better. There are games you BELIEVE do it much much better. You state it as a fact, but it’s only your opinion.

And since I haven’t agreed with a single opinion of yours (not one), I don’t believe any of the games you think do it better actually do it better.

Of course since objectivity is just not your thing but ignorance is da shyte.

I’m not sure you’d know objectivity if it bit you in the ankle. I’ve said some bad things about Guild Wars 2…I haven’t seen you say anything good.

Post history says it all.

Ooooh, Vayne getting mad again rofl

Truth hurts….some people rofl

I’ve been playing the game — that’s what I’ve been doing. Not grinding, not farming, just simply doing what I want to do: playing the game. What is this “gear treadmill” you speak of? Are you including legendaries? Or are you assuming one must work for EVERY piece of gear for their cosmetics?

“They even said there will be gear treadmill, you are getting new gear to grind every few months and that wont stop.”

This made me laugh a bit, thanks. Could you please pull a quote and source for me? I could pull a quote and source for you with Colin Johanson saying they don’t want to do that.

As for the level cap raise, yeah, that’s quite a likely a possibility. But no one smart will “grind” to reach 90, or 100. The game rewards you with so much XP for doing almost anything; it would come naturally within a week.

“Ascended WIDENED the gap between exotic and legendary since it uses same resources.”

Yeah, I know this can be taken both ways. When I, and A-net, said ascended weapons “filled” the gap between exotics and legendaries, we didn’t really mean from a perspective of the resources required…so much as resources required? Sorry, I hope that makes sense. It’s really a mind-set sorta thing.

You say that “GW2 is 99,9% of my radar…” I guess that means the “.1%” is hanging around here on the game’s forums, kittening about stuff.

Ooooh, they said plenty of something like ascended not existing in GW2 pre launch.

Yet here we are, them turning 180 2 months after launch.

And si that was ONLY gap to fill….yah, filling non-existing gaps doesnt make any sense. Yah, sorry if filling non existing gaps but widening existing ones doesnt make any sense.

What makes you think I’m mad? As usual, you’re clueless about what I think. And that amuses me no end.

And here you are, ten months after two months after launch still trying to turn people against the game. Those that don’t like it have left. And some of those that stay around to complain are simply here to stir the pot.

YOur ever presence on the forums preety much say your only interest left for GW2 are these forums rofl

You’re clearly here to malign the game. You don’t like the game, you don’t play the game. You’re not interested in anything except something that was changed ten months ago.

Those playing the game, are talking about stuff that is pertinent to the game as it stands.

It’s lovely that you want to quote quotes that are years old, advertising them as if they were carved in granite…but you know…stuff changes in MMOs. People who don’t like the changes leave, people who like them stay…it’s like every MMO in that way.

You don’t like the changes…fair enough. But what you actually do is sabotage every thread with this continual negativity, none of which is actually constructive. I’d be much happier to see constructive criticism instead of a stream of single line pot shots at a game you’re no longer interested in (considering you say there are better games out there).

No one says anyone should love or like this game. But heckling anyone with a different opinion isn’t constructive.

And I don’t really care, but I do have some time to kill (which unfortunately ends now, so I won’t be able to reply to your response).

Ahhh, so indeed you have more interest in these forums than the game itself.

Thank you

And yes, awfully lot of words and posts for someone who dont care rofl

Out of curiosity, Mika, why are you here, in these forums? I want to hear your thoughts in your words.

Words are my business…they come cheaply.

Again, check my achievement points if you think I don’t play. It’s just at this hour, my guild isn’t on, so I play less. I don’t play MMOs to solo and I don’t pug.

Because i enjoy Vaynes posts.

You see, like teh above one

And he dosne care! AT ALL! rofl

I have a feeling that you two have been at it for quite some time. I guess I’ll leave you to it, then.

Oh, and Mika,

Get a better hobby.

I’m more on your side of the equation. I genuinely like the game, even if I don’t like all the decision Anet makes. I’m just aware that I’m not going to like every decision.

If Anet makes enough decisions I don’t like, I’ll leave the game, as I have left other games in the past. What I won’t do is hang around on the forums and bag the game, because it’s counter productive.

I do get mad. I don’t get mad at strangers on the forum. To get mad, I pretty much have to know you in real life. My wife can make me mad, for example. My sons can make me mad.

People on the forums….not so much. lol

Brilliant, engaging design, these ascended weapons.

I’m really looking forward to getting these weapons because I just know that crafting them will be a challenging and fun experience!!!!1!11!!1!

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Lol, jk.
