New gear tier?
I might be getting it confused. But I think without Infusions (which have non-Agony stats on them) un-Infused Ascended gear is a straight 20% stat markup over Exotic/Legendary gear. That might be the Infused gear though.

It’s a range of 10-40% for most stats, usually ~20% like you said. This is without infusion, which will eventually be able to add up to +20 of a primary stat per piece.
We dont know yet as the new tier arent really in game yet, so we dont know how it will be implemented, Anyone telling you otherwise is speculating.
So far we have a back piece thats quite the grind to get, but there are rare ones that are dirt easy to get so we arent missing out any real stat bonuses. And a ring that so far seem to come from daily quest in the Fractal. the ring has 3-5 statspoints (and at lv80 you have 2-3k in those stats) above exotic rings so its not game breaking diffrences.
In the future they will add more Ascended gear wich will be available through a varity of activities like Dungeons and WvW
So I hear a lot of people complaining about it. But I’m just wondering one thing. Did ANet break the promise of ‘people playing the game only a little bit because that’s all they can play but being able to have the same gear stats as someone who plays 24/7’ (the only difference being what the armor looks like)? And are the stats game breaking compared to Exotics?
The short answer is yes, they did.
The more complicated answer is we don’t know how bad it is yet, since not a lot of players have the items yet.
Already it is causing a divide in the game.
We do know that more items will be added in the future.
As it is these items are more powerful than exotics.

Yup, yup and most likely yup.
