Guild Wars 2

The legendary weapon post made me think a bit more about this and it bothers me: why is it that the vast majority of cool weapons in the game are basically relegated to the mystic forge rather than spread out in the world to aqquire from event chains or dungeons or whatever? Or is it just that the drop rates are so utterly terrible that mystic forge recipies are the best way to get them?

Either way, the whole way loot works in this game seems off to me, the fact you’ll get better loot killing random trash than taking on tough champion encounters, which take so long as to not really be worth the effort just doesn’t make any sense to me at all – not to mention it basically encourages farming generic mobs over anything else, whether its for crafting mats to make stuff to dump in the forge, or just for the occasional exotic.

What I’m saying is, the risk vs reward seems messed up completely and its rather unsatisfying.

There’s some nice looking Karma stuff too, while not weapons, my armor is fused to rather “cheap” Karma items because I like how they look.
