I simply guess so after considering all viable options and carefully reading the blog post. I could quote the passages which influenced my decision process but i am quite sure that you will be able to find out about them by yourself because you are an experienced player and veteran of nearly 3 years.

Edit: this was a response to someone elses post which seems to have been deleted while i was writing it, so no quotes.

Concerning Dark Matter, I dont need to use BLSKs to make a profit off salvaging exotics in order to get some profit. I am enough of an expert about the game economy to know my way around. If I use a BLSK, I make at least 3g profit without considering dark matter, which usually gives me another 3g as well.

Breaking even while using BLTKs was a considerate approach of mine because i know that most people reading this dont have the knowledge about the game eco that i have.

And the vast mayority of those people never paid for their BLSKs either but got them from daily rewards and look at them as an item that just fills their their bank space rather than something that will give them 20-75g profit for an hours worth.

All I do is WvW

Im a WvW player for 3 years now, level 1 fractal is my level lol, people who know me know I hate anything PvE and sometimes it was guild joke to try and get me to at least the dark room of EB JP without me rage quitting or to even finish a dungeon run without me again, leaving for wvw instead.

-snip-

TLDR version: I’m a WvW player.

Ascended gear isn’t really intended for WvW’ers, but for PvE’ers doing fractals.

If you don’t do fractals, you shouldn’t really have to care about ascended gear – that’s why Anet made it so hard yet so small of a gain. And the materials from rings is no different – they’re for stuff gained from Fractals.

If you don’t do fractals, you won’t get the new stuff. Simple as that. As a WvW-only player, you outright exclude yourself from the target audience of those changes.

TL;DR

To those who do fractals, so long as the salvage rates is the same as salvaging dark matter globs from exotics, there’s really no qualm. It’s not like you’re going to be salvaging ascended armor and weapons for this stuff – they’ve only mentioned rings, afair.

To those who don’t do fractals, you’re not the target audience and thus will have no need for these materials.

So we finally have a real gear threadmill where Legendarys only belong to the
“worthy” fractal players, and all other players are no longer the “target audience” ?

Now all we need is that the new Legendarys do 50-100% more damage in PvP to be on
par with those typical other MMOs.
