Guild Wars 2

I think Anet is missing a huge economic opportunity here. They should sell sponsorships to the legendary weapons. Who wouldn’t want the ‘Legendary Geico Insurance Greatsword’ or the ‘Legendary Pepsi Focus of Fizzle’? Wouldn’t it be great if we could send soup labels to Anet and get a "Legendary Progresso Traditional Soup Ladle of Karka Bashing’?

(don’t miss the sarcasm, please)

More seriously, if a weapon is the pinnacle of the game, and people are making this big a fuss about how hard it is to craft or how expensive it is to buy, after the game has existed less than six months, get a grip. The game is supposed to last years, not weeks.

Hey, I want to see the next season of Game of Thrones, and read the next book in the series, but I just have to be patient. I also am not playing GW2 to ‘finish’ it so i can move on to the next game that pops out. I want it to last.

I don’t expect to log on every night and have something spectacular drop into my inventory because I deserve it.

I can fully understand the frustration with dropping hundreds of weapons into the Mystic Toilet and never getting back what you need – that is a suck mechanism that degrades the game. I fully expect Anet to fix or supplement this in time., because that is what they did with GW1, over time. Meanwhile, I just don’t go there.

But other than that, I think people are wasting too much energy churning about this, and ascended, and FOTM, and not enough energy enjoying what’s good in the game.

I totally agree on this. Some people, see above, have already played ~900 hours. Some probably even a lot more. Three months after release, that equals 300 hours per month, 10 hours per day. Every day. Apart from the fact that this isn’t sane at all (no offense implied, it’s a fact), do they really expect that there will ever be an MMO that can entertain you for such a long time without inctroducing a simple grind mechanism? It’s simply impossible for ANet to design enough fun content for this kind of addict, but unfortunately, it seems that an increasing number of people invests that much time in a game, so it’s still an important part of the playerbase for them that has to be satisfied. “Normal” people would only reach such a playtime over the course of several years, if they didn’t stop playing long before.

It is legendary because of the grind and nothing else. That is correct that a lot of the items can be purchased off the TP for gold which can be bought with gems.

It wasnt pay to win because the stats were the same as exotics but now that has changed. They will always be BiS (never heard of this before the 15) and there P2W and be perpetually and continually bumped in power to whatever new tier Anet comes out with this week.

The point now is to spend the money and get them now so it costs less money and resources and it is P2Win to the bank as it will never decrease in power only increase.

Get the grind on and buy some gems and you are set to receive the most powerful weapons money can buy in this game.
*some exploration and skills points may be required as well.

can just buy your mystic clovers in the gem shop, what a great thing!

We get the point, from the ground up this game was gonna have a cash shop.

But the reality is, you can paypal your way to a Greatsaw Greatsword, you can paypal y our way to T3 cultural, certainly to full top gear. But there’s a bunch of things you can’t get, and crafting a legendary requires heaps of things that you can not TP.

Nothing legendary about it.

There’s nothing wrong with have 900 hours of playtime, if you can properly balance your playtime,work and social life. My friend is studying to be a pediatrician, so I don’t see how he isn’t normal, and I myself am studying commerce. You don’t have to play 10 hours straight, a few hours here and there can easily add up to 10 within a day.

There are plenty of games out there that have no grinding mechanism, and I still found them very enjoyable. This game is just better.

Celestea.4105:

$500 Dollars isn’t much

Then give me that money so I could pay my rent

Because people have some odd notion that grinding is “hard”.

Jack of Tears.9458:

No, I’m feelin’ ya. It’d be cool if ya had ta run every Dungeon in the game once; had ta get every achievement, what ya can get on one character in the game, once; an’ only then didja open up another dungeon what ya had ta go through ta get yer legendary. Forget ingredients, forget precursors, make gettin’ it have nothin’ ta do with grind an’ everything ta do with bein’ awesome.

because fighting pre-determined AI mobs in dungeons that might have walk-through guides all over the internet make those players beating it awesome thus deserving Legendary items?

By what i see , u r all completely find with mindless grinding. I hope ascension armors to be 10-20 times more needy for t6 mats. I also wish that rest of set requires 50x more globs and at least 250 lodstones per part. So that u guys , can have fun.

Happy grinding for years.

I would love to see legendaries based more around achievements; not the easy everybody can do them kind either.

At the moment, they aren’t very legendary in my eyes; just throw gold at the market and voila, you have a legendary (okay so there are one or two things that are easy to accomplish that can’t be bought at the market…).

Legendaries should be rewards for players a tier of dedication above the rest. In my opinion most of the mats needed should be character bound, obtainable through playing the game (any single material should be obtainable through multiple routes by choosing what you like to do the most in the game; achievements, treasure chests, boss hunting, karma, etc.). The mats should be stack-able in a special section of your bank too dedicated to legendary materials.

Thirsty.2875:

you don’t have to buy gems to obtain the cool factor and if you did you aren’t buying better stats just a better looking item.

That may be true for you, not for all, and not for me.
Hopefully , ascension gear will stay grind fest , and everyone who wonna get it will feel same pain as those who care for “legendary” , models.

How is that not true for you or everyone else? Do you lack the ability to do anything in this game? Everything you do gives you money you just lack patience not the ability to get the cool factor without buying gems.

In a “skill-based” game why are so many of the rare items RNG/farm instead of rewarding skilled players?

Because of the intense RNG/Farm requirements, this is why alot of players turn to bots/hacks and/or purchase gold from external gold farming sites which offer a massively significant difference in gold prices ~ which makes it highly attractive for players to buy gold off-site.

Looking at the average offsite prices for gold (using gold spam as a source of data) you’re looking at 34c for 1g, which means a massive 100g for $34 ~ If you buy gems and transfer to gold, you’ll probably get a 1/3 of that if your lucky ~ so again, the players with money to burn will most likely take the risk and buy from gold farmers – and sure you can say, its against the rules ~ will you get banned? You don’t know that for sure do you? Will these players take the risk? I’m pretty sure some do.

Right now bots are far more sophisticated, they are super hard to report (to fast to target). Botters are still ruling over market , they just changed focus. Several botting sites offer not just gold but , materials that are on high demand for RL money , and are , by far cheaper then gem store.
If we cant see them anymore , its not coz they are not there.
And the main reason why they are in existence is coz of ever rising grind.
But looking on answers from community , mindless grind is far more acceptable then looking for “meaningful” fun guided experience.
In this topic i was trying to talk about game , and legendary as game related achievement. My question was , why is , in game terms , legendary term related to mindless grind. I was hoping there are ppl who would , from aspect of game ofc, see legendary as achievement that was more related to lets say helping GW2 world as hero, do task that makes your hero, hero in the GW2. I would relate that hero to a person who is “known” in wvw, person who is known in spvp or a community hero in pve. A hero that helps world of Tyria look better for all.
To make it simple , why we would not make “legendary” heros of those who do awesome work in wvw, those who make spvp worth of challinge or those who help “heros to be” move on that path.
Our heros , who are in a way , legendary , are , and u must agree, those who had time or money to get insane amount of xxxxx mats.
What i try to say is, why is mindless grind and RNG that provide lets say 250 ecto, more valuable then helping 10 new players move on their way up.
Call me lazy kitten or noob , but i think that helping 1 person pass to some poi should be seen far more valuable and awarding then hours of brainless grinding one same event for personal gain.

Getting a legendary is supposed to take a lot of time, otherwise everbody would have one soon. There are not many diversified things that you can do in a game and say “yeah, he invested time without grinding and he’s social, truly deserves a legendary”. Map completion is one of those things, what should be the others? The clock tower JP was kind of hard, but was it legendary hard? Was its completion balanced for every class and race? ANet cannot add tons of content that is just doable for a few players just to get a legendary, that would be highly uneconomical. And how should the game know what good things you did to other players that can not be farmed, like revives? They had to solve it somehow. I doubt they’ll change the required mats, just reduce the luck required to get a precursor.

Ill just say once again “take a lot of time” is incorrect factor completely. Its fact that many ppl spent cc 20-30$ to get 200-400g and obtain 90% of requirements. Others used bots/hack tools to do the same.
Im not saying there are no ppl who play fair, what im saying there is nothing that “take a lot of time”.
To be perfectly honest, long term goals should be achievements , tittles. To common player, finishing full map is taking long time, if he is trying to enjoy it.
Legendary is already taking far more time to obtain , w/o need for insane amount of gold, so that distinguish it from, exotics.
What was the problem to implement “mentoring” new players, or “craft” starter gear, or hell, achievement on revive ?
Would it not be far more RPG if you would have to “save/rebuild the overrun village” in some zone ? If you think about it, this would srsly help almost dead , and constantly contested (example) zones to get some life , and would not be so , easy to obtain since ppl would do it ?
All i say, grind xxx mats , is not , legendary.

PS.
Doing ANYTHING in GW2 takes far more time then buying gold from bots/gems. Thats a fact.

and it will STILL take you a lot of time, because after doing the full explore you’ll still have to level up 240 times to get enough skill points and you STILL will need to far badges and run the same dungeon multiple times over. Even if you bought everything because money is raining from your kitten you’ll still need to invest at least 200 hours.

Because for the people that didn’t open their wallets it requires “legendary” patience. That is a good enough reasoning to me.

I see nothing wrong with lvling and dungeons or wvw. Thats part of game , mostl ppl like (i asume). I dont believe anyone can say that farming 250 vials of blood is , fun.

- as Mirta already said, it’ll still take a lot of time for the other requirements, and also if you change the requirements, and as I said, time is the only factor you can really use because it is a metric the game can measure
- not that it’s important, but from what I see 100g cost about $30 and you cannot measure this from from a gold buyer’s pov since they’re just cheaters and likely to be banned; if you change the requirements, people will just use a different cheat, although I doubt that most legendary owners risk that at all considering how much time and gold they have to spend, so that argument is rather arbitrary
- if you spend money on gems and then gems on legit gold, no matter how much you spend, you still have to do the rest of the requirements, also that investment should be honored and since legendaries don’t have better stats, it doesn’t do any harm – spending money for a good thing (keeping GW2 alive) can also be considered heroic :p
- your proposals, like crafting gear or reviving lots of people, are just other forms of grind; GW2 is still just a game and everything is judged by hard numbers, I don’t consider reviving people just to get a legendary heroic at all, it’s completely egocentric
- how would you want to to do that overrun village thing, it would probably be just another combination of grind (killing mobs) and a lot of time needed and it would become either very easy because many people would do it, basically a giant farm spot, or undoable because nobody who doesn’t want a legendary would go there

I will never own a legendary, but the current system is fine imo. They just have to make getting the precursor less depending on luck/gold, which they’ll do.

you were talking about the factor of time. I just corrected you that even if you bought everything, there’s still the factor of time.
If I would have not sold every single tier 6 mat that dropped for me I might have already had it. Having in mind that I spent tier 6 mats that I had (powerful blood, etc) to make exotic gear for my 2 chars and my bf I had a lot of it at one point. I’m going to assume now that if we had not sold our loot from when we hit level 70 and started exploring the higher zones, it would not be that much of a grind. Especially if you have to do a full world map, meaning that either way you’ll have to kill high level mobs in 5 areas that drop those mats. And especially having in mind that I had drops of powerful blood, venom sacs, scales, etc in WvW for some odd reason too.

I’ve been working to safe up gold and get the things I need for couple months now, I’m still nowhere near getting a legendary. Unless you’re good with the trading post game or lucky or rich IRL it’s really hard and time consuming to obtain.

On our servers there are a couple of guys with Legendarys that attained them a few weeks after launch + Commander titles and god knows what else, was they banned? Nope ~ did they cheat or exploit in some way? I bet my life they did -

Case and Point ~ You can’t expect Anet to ban anyone – The sad fact right now is that probably more and more people are buying gold from 3rd party sites because of the extreme rise in general costs, not just for legendarys but for crafting exotic gear too. Ecto prices are already rapidly approaching 40s each which is insane.

Anet, get off your fat cat behinds and start working for us, the legitimate players ~ otherwise soon, we’ll start demanding action. Because its starting to get ridiculous in-game ~ you know when things are bad when ~

$30 Anet conversion gems to gold
$30 = approx 27g

$30 3rd Party gold farming sites
$30 = approx 100g

Honestly, if I need to play 900 hours grind for the legendary. I rather focus on my job and paid a 1000 for the weapon. The required amount of time for legendary is crazy and not even possible for most casual players to get.

Because they require a legendary grind silly.

Part of me wish i did use, other, ways to get legendary. I guess i still can. But why do that ? Why net would not actually make it more fun and far less grind ?
PS.
GZ on ecto/t6 prices anet, u guys really did it this time.

Rarity for one.

And just because the other items that you can’t be might be “fail” to you, since you seem to have no issue garnering them, the same can not be said for everyone.

I simply LOVE the fact that is it a pain in the kitten to get everything to make the weapons, and that it takes a bt more involvement on the player side to get it to happen. I can’t wait to finish all the things I need to do to get mine, as I’ve already started down that road.

The gem store exchange for gem to gold is there, and will always be there. If someone wants to spend hundreds to get the precursor and mats instead of farming them manually, why in the world would you even consider letting that bother you? I’ve never understood that mentality. Not trying to downplay it, more like trying to grasp it. It has nothing to do with me, I don;t know their lives/playstyle or what not, and it affects me ZERO. So, I move on, and wish for the day to where I can toss my mats into big Z and have him spit me a legendary out.

having said that, I know this type of thing may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that is also cool. If that is the case though, you are free to move along, since there is nothing to see here ^__^

just another stupid term in skinwars2. Nothing more and everything less.

Reading through the list of your comments, you didn’t even play for at least three weeks but never get tired of trolling around in the forums and telling everybody how much you hate the game in almost every aspect. If you don’t like it at all, move on maybe? There’s plenty of other things to do. I consider this behaviour kind of an annoyance.

They are not in charge of the Trading Post. The economy purely depends from the players, having in mind that it’s players selling to other players and there’s no base price.
Also it’s so much of a grind, because it has nothing that you need in it. The stats are the same as on exotics. It’s just a way of showing your dedication to the game or in other words “my kitten is longer than yours”. I still want it though :P I suppose it’s a nice goal when you actually did everything and want a hard goal to set for yourself

Mirta.5029:

That’s not entirely true, the prices are a question of supply and demand, and ANet alone controls, or let’s better say limits, the supply.

I farmed 2 legendaries and all the gems i used i got via gold-gem transfer (so i actually lost gold there!) It feels pretty legendary to me. This kind of threads should just die in a corner.

Supply has not changed for a while now. With the black Lion salvage kit you get an ecto 100% when salvaging exotics and master salvage kit mostly spawns an ecto. The amount available depends on players willing to salvage, because usually selling an exotic is worth more. If the price continues to raise and reaches 1 gold, it will start falling again, because people will salvage exotics instead of selling them.

I think what OP is trying to say is that Legendary items should be earned, not bought. As it is alot of people have partly “bought” their legendary. I think the hardest part is the precurser, maybe it should be a selectable reward in exchange of achievement points, and make it account bound. That way a true legendary is earned not bought.

Mirta.5029:

Um, no, I picked up an exotic in factals today, used a BLSK on it and got 1 ancient wood …

Legendaries bore me. While some of them have very nice skins all they really amount to is a long grind. Where is the lore, where is the story behind them? They’re just too gamey, they don’t fit into a fantasy world at all. I would much prefer something where I piece together the shattered blade, unearth the rustly hilt, fight giants for the corrupted sheath, travel the world to find the ancient smith, fight legions to find the holy well….Really wish there was more actual fantasy in this MMO.

How they are not related to gem store , if you can obtain like 80% of required materials over gem store, placing almost no effort into gameplay?

Do you actually realise how much money that would cost?

Do you realize thats their own money and they are probably rich and have already a car, house and who knows what more? that paying for that it would be like you paying for a slice of bread.

Tosha Daydreamer.9251:

Sure, everything ingame is related to the gem store. If you are willing to spend several hundreds of euros buying gems (the gems-to-gold ratio is terrible atm).

If there is anyone who is willing to sponsor Anet for that amount for a few shiney pixels, sure, they can have their shiny pixels. It’s not like the legendaries give you an advantage otherwise. I really don’t mind. I chuckle and move on, shaking my head at the waste of money, and have some admiration for those who managed to get a legendary without buying them with real life cash.

But I bet my left leg that most people are not willing to waste that much money on a fictional rainbow shooting unicorn bow in a non-existent fantasy world.

So your point is?

Wrong legendaries dogive you an advanatge maybe not currently but as Mike and Chris have both stated they will in the not to distant future when they get updated to the new tier of weapons and beyond. legendary weapons and armor (when released) will always stay current with each content update/expansion making them virtually the last item you’ll ever need.
