What would make me happy is if they gave ascended armour the same stats as exotics and just added an infusion slot-ta da!
you can mitigate agony, don’t create power creep and introduce new mechanics via infusion slots without alienating your players.
Win win.

Wrong wrong.
That would make ascendant armor inferior as it can´t be upgraded with sigils&runes.

Infusion is useless outside of the Fractal, thus all the alienation is uninformed and overhyped.

Who told you they can’t be upgraded with sigil and rune?

The effin´ pink ring.
The only real fact that kitten pic is good for, and those kittening vague devblogs

Again, where did you read that the Infusions won’t be able to affact general PvE or WvW?

Nothing you posted were mentioned by blog post or Chris.

Again, where did you read that it will?

“Ascended and infusion rewards will be available in both PvE and WvW over time, and be made available through all sorts of content around the world including existing content. PvP will remain unaffected to ensure our intended PvP balance going forward.” — by Chris Whiteside – Studio Design Director

He mentioned PvE, WvW and PvP. However, only PvP which won’t be affacted was mentioned directly. If Infusion won’t affact PvE or WvW, he would have said them as well; but he said nothing. In other words, infusion CAN affact PvE and WvW.

Why hasn’t this thread been closed to merge it with the rest of the discussion on this topic?

Now, what happen after you ate up the whole carrot?
You’ll ask for more. After you ate the carrot, you want another bigger carrot. That is progression. If there’s no more carrot, players get impatient and leave. It’s part of human nature. That’s what mmorpg’ers wants. After each goal is achieve, there must be another goal and not a wall. If there’s a wall, it’s the same as console games.

The carrrot, to me, is the content of the game. And you’re right – should I have consumed it fully, I’d like more content.

What’s content? To me it is:
- 100% map completion,
- all zones not just “completed” but truly played through with most events and all,
- gear looking the way I want it to,
- all dungeons mastered,
- all jumping puzzles mastered,
- all classes I’m interested in levelled

What’s not content?
- 6 slots of armor,
- 6 slots for weapons,
- 6 slots for acessories.

Content is not “chewed up” once these 18 slots are maxed out. Maxing out those 18 slots is nothing but the access-pass to carelessly doing the things listed first.

So, when I’m eventually asking for new content, I’ll be asking for new dungeons, not dungeons requiring and granting better gear. I’ll be asking for new zones, not higher level zones. I’ll be asking for new puzzles. I’ll be asking for new cosmetics.

And what I’d eventually be asking for was what was originally announced GW2 would be like.
