Guild Wars 2

I’m really fed up with this now.
Daily Tequatl Kills… Nothing but another buttkick every day.
My friend just got his FOURTH Sunless weapon chest! In no time! While he kills Tequatl far less than me.

Contacted support, because my account sucks if it comes to luck… They can’t help me. (Obviousely they didn’t even read what I was typing… yeh thanks for that one…)

This is getting worse than just frustrating, really… I just need ONE chest for that SKIN!
I don’t even NEED Asc stuff anymore… but I’m not getting ANYTHING while others… yeah got their 4th chest. This isn’t even funny anymore.

Either these chests should be tradeable, or we NEED a decent token system, if even only for the SKIN…

I really don’t believe in just having ‘bad luck’ anymore…

It is bad luck trust me.
Guilie got exotic drop almost every day, while I get max rare every 2 days.
I had 4 exotic drops in last 6 months. Most of them in last 2 months just because my MF is getting higher, even that i dont believe in MF.

I agree ascended gear should be tradable. Legendaries can be traded.
Why can’t gear that only gives a 5% stat increase?

I have 2 ascended armour boxes sitting unused in my bank because they have stats none of my lvl 80’s use.

So yes, let us trade these things!

That’s an issue with Legendary weapons – not Ascended.

Crafting is a wonderful gold sink, so that being the only reasonable or fair way to obtain Ascended items is great, especially as gold is so worthless right now.

It’s not an issue, it’s a good thing.

Tons of grind for a 5% stat increase, really great…
I’m just happy Ascended gear is so useless, that way I can happily ignore it.

Those ascended drops just kittens you off. You finally manage get one and it have some kitten stats.

Tequatl Weapons have useless stats for me too, but getting his chest is the only way to obtain that skin. As for stats and whatever, I don’t care I craft my stuff myself and that’s it, but daily pain for a skin… only a SKIN… really p***** me off already…

Would be enough if these chests were tradeable, I’m not talking about the crafted ones.

Sorry for the push but honestly…
Brought someone to Tequatl for the first time…
Guess what? Yeah off course she got a Teq weapon chest…
Me? Nah… The daily buttkick as usual…
THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!
NOT AT ALL… -.-"

I’m not exactly keen on making them tradeable, but I would agree that there SHOULD be other ways to obtain ascended weapon and armor chests – perhaps via other currencies like I don’t know… 2-3k WvW badges per chest? (Just a figure I came up with from the top of my head) Or X amount of Karma, or X dungeon tokens, or X laurels. That way they remain untradeable, but you still work for it – it’s just with this approach, you know you’re guaranteed to get it after you’ve done the work to achieve it!

I really empathise and can understand your frustration. It shouldn’t be like this at all. I hear all the time of people wanting some of the wurm armor skins, but just can’t be bothered 1) finding a large enough group to get kills, and 2) having a poor chance at obtaining it even if they do succeed.

I think either way something needs to be done about it. I myself am not going for ascended armor because it’s a rip off just achieving 500 crafting, let alone all the laurels and gold required for the recipes to make X ascended piece, as well as paying up for X ascended materials (like damask >_< I mean, c’mon, 15g per sheet? I’ll pass thanks!). I’m just going to continue WvW’ing, and whatever ascended stuff I get, so be it. I’m not bothering with working towards ascended armor :-/
