You’ll also see more Legendary items in the future and an update to our existing Legendary weapons. Legendary items were always intended to be on par with other “best-in-slot” items. So fear not, all existing Legendary weapons, which are currently on par with Exotics will be upgraded to be on par with Ascended weapons at the same time that we add Ascended weapons to the game. Thus Legendaries will remain “best-in-slot” items. All Legendary items going forward will be of Ascended power. We also have plans to add more fun ways to acquire Legendary precursor items with a more “scavenger hunt” feel than they are acquired currently.
I guess what people are failling to see is that ANet is finally making legendary items better then just being Exotics reskined. I look forward to this change!
“Here’s what we believe: If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game. Otherwise, your MMO becomes all about grinding to get the best gear. We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.”

Don’t most people transmute the legendary onto an exotic anyway.
It’s not like this is some huge favor, heh. Even if legendaries had 1 power and 5 damage, people would do the same thing they do now…transmute it to a weapon with the stat layout they like.
Not that there’s anything wrong with the legendaries coming preloaded with whatever the best stats is. It doesn’t really matter though.
They need to update the stats so you have a wider variety and make more than one choice in most you have 3 greatsword and one of everything else o.o. Idea pitch you have a shortbow named the dreamer, which looks all pretty and colourful, why not make an opposite called the nightmare!
I dont mind the necro and at least he tried ot find an existing thread vs what othe rppl do and thats have 3 of the same toipic on 1st page.
On topic tho.. I wonder when ascended weps will be added and obtained..additional damge and stats means if you dont have these or a legendary in WvW your kittened.

blablabla A.Net said the same thing about GW1 and it was an extreme grindfest.
