Guild Wars 2

They are purposely stalling. They know they get metric tons of money from people changing their dollars to gems to get gold for the ridiculous price of legendaries.

Don’t think for a second they will make legendaries more accessible. It’s their cash cow.

Just think about it, a legendary at 1200-1400g to self craft makes them tons of money in gem sales as there’s no realistic way of accumulating that much gold:

a) without playing tp, which most people don’t like to do and they know it,

or

b) Making a generous amount of maybe 20g per day at the upper end by just playing the game (not farming for countless hours, I mean actually doing dungeons for income), it takes

60-70 days of grinding 20 gold a day to pay for the legendary.

This calculation does not include the chore of 100% world completion and farming 500 badges of honor, whose drop rate they drastically nerfed.

So you’re looking at easily over 4 months to farm a legendary just through normal/ upper middle playstyle.

Well, gg. Precursors have gone up past couple of days. Was hoping this would be coming soon.

yeah they are basically starting over… so 2015 maybe if we are lucky…

Don’t be such an optimist.

I recently decided to bite the bullet and throw in 1000 self-made rares. Total cost of just over 400g to do so. So far 34 exotics have come from 500 rares, so that’s maybe 1 every 15 throws. All I need is for one of those exotics to be my precursor.

you should have sold all rares and just save your money , 400g is almost one precusor for one handed weapons and it´s half the money you need for the two handed weapons, i have 2 legendarys, both pres bougth from tp

only masochistic ppl try to get a pre through mystic forge, or ppl with 2000g and they dont realy need it they just want to see how lucky the are…

ps: good luck to you if you still try with forge, i save for my third (already at 200g), i will be done by june/july i think , i like it when everything goes acording to my plan

its simple, every precursors crafted become account bound and, for the other got in chest/drop, would still be sellable in the tp.
