I am not a vertical progression guy, and i believe in Anet that ascended is the last stat tier for GW2, so thank you for the effort and pls don’t make me regret my appreciation.
So i am a casual player therefore i will make an ascended weapon on my own pace, my target is around 6 months to 8 months of time.
But what really bugs me is the weapon skin, yes i am with the ascended weapon skin for now, but what will happens when there are thousands of player who made their ascended 2 months later? The weapon will not look any unique anymore. So i come up a suggestion.
Create a legendary blacksmith guy, he can provide a chain quest that once you finished, you gain a infused power item which able to apply your ascended / legendary weapon with a “Cosmetic only visual effect” from couple visual selections.
The visual effect will be like “red flame / blue frame / wind etc”, if there are 10 visual effects to choose from, and the hundreds of weapon skin we have, people can create a very unique legendary / ascended weapon for their character without a need to design more weapon skin. Anet can also create gem store dye to change the effect color or apply special effect as well.
And i would also suggest the blacksmith can collect your materials and craft you an ascended weapon if you don’t have crafting skill, once you’ve bring him an ascended weapon, you can start the chain quest.
