Guild Wars 2

In the opening sequence of the “Our Time is Now” trailer we see a player petrified in a chair as a representation of the MMO playerbase being frozen/stuck in the stagnant MMO culture that has become mainstream for the past decade. With the introduction of GW2 he is able to break free of this petrified state & defy existing conventions.

How is this trailer now relevant to GW2’s design philosophy? With the introduction of a “progressive” tier system the player is still petrified to stone, lingering in the same old MMO culture that GW2 vowed to defy.

By changing one of the founding principles that have been touted to its fanbase for over 5+ years in the first content patch is shows a severe lack of confidence in the developers vision that brought us all here in the first place.

You are trying to appease a audience that can never be satiated. Ever. Once they obtain the best loot in the game, they will once again claim “There is no endgame” to which your response will be to add more loot with better stats & the process will go on forever. All the while rendering previous content/time/effort void & aliening players who play on a casual basis.

This is a crossroads. You have the opportunity to change the industry. To change everything, which is why we are all here. We supported your original vision. Don’t divide the community like this. Please reconsider this decision.

ANET needs to clarify if ascended gear is the final gear tier (stat wise) and if Agony resistance attained from FOTM will be required to successfully do any future content. If you agree click on the link in my sig

They said ascended isnt, when soemone says we wont be adding new stats every 3 months it means that they will indeed add more stats.

The same way i could ask u if u skip school more times and you tell me i wont skip school everyday.

We value your opinion, but please keep the ascended gear discussions in the " Thoughts on Ascended Gear? [Merged threads]" Thread.

Thank you for your understanding.
