Guild Wars 2

Hello.
Well after the 15th patch, everybody copies their legendaries into cheap weapons on different characters, you can see low level running with eternity/any other legendary and its just bad, heres why:
Gives bad impression of the game for new players who just bought it, imagine leveling and seeing someone same level as you with a legendary, will unmotivate you and give cheap impression.
Legendary are suppose to be legendaries without cheap copies, since the patch they overflooded the game and not so special anymore.
In my opinion the wardrobe is an awesome idea but it should stay out of legendaries.
Yes legendaries being account bound is a great idea, but copying? eh

Whats your opinion guys?

Legendaries were never legendary

oh god it’s wow forums all over again

I agree with op

This. In any case, with the Ascended grind, the main advantage of Legendaries is now the OOC stat swap not the skin.

Buying a legendary from the TP sure is legendary.

they never were, OP

Welcome to Material Wars 2

This has always been possible anyway. Legendaries have been relatively common for a long time as well. I don’t see any problem except for people who thinks getting a legendary makes them a unique snowflake.

again, another thread in which cognitive bias makes people think everyone has spare $600 to throw into a virtual item or that almost 99% of the playerbase already went through the painstaking grind that is to create a legendary weapon.

Yes, legendaries lost some value because of the possibility of freely transmuting the skin with the wardrobe system, but I reckon still only 1% of the GW2 playerbase actually has a legendary.

1% is an understatement, it’s more like 10% or more.

People are downscaled in this game. Newbies already see people their level with legendaries even before patch.
