Guild Wars 2

So after you fixed the bug preventing legendaries to be SOLD on TP now the pre-cursor prices reached edges of our galaxy and are beyond the reach of mankind as we know it since people now rather craft the legendary itself to sell than pre-cursors.

So whats the plan Anet ?

P.S. Meanwhile players can /discuss the latest pre-cursor price changes here.

They’ll be more expensive tomorrow.

And the next day.

There are other threads to discuss this.

Also, they clearly stated pre-cursors will be acquirable through other means in a patch in the near future.

In The Future i may be playing another MMO mate.

As someone who have 1200h+ in GW2 and 500+ rare bows tosed into the Mystic Forge with NO precursor i want this matter to be focused as well since its the 5th month after the launch and still not solution for this.

Would having more gold help?

They’re going to release it when it’s ready. Imagine the amount of whine on these forums if they released it prematurely and noticed an exploit that could net you several precursors at once?

What do you expect them to do right now? Suddenly increase the precursor rate from a paltry 0.5% to 10%? Crash the market?

Again, you gambled and you lost. Move on. If everyone could get a precursor so easily from the forge, the allure of a legendary would not be as it is right now.

Why the heck do you want to a legendary anyway? Cause it’s so rare? Cause it looks good? Increase the rate, and you increase the number of people who hold the legendary. You suddenly don’t want it anymore.

The rate is fine as it is. Legendary weapons should be rare.

Also, why the heck are you throwing bows in the forge? You are being extremely inefficient.

It’s better to craft greatswords and hope you get Dusk/Dawn which hold the most value.

It’s like one guy saying he wants to get Venom, and throws Tridents in the forge when Venom is only worth 11g. Throw greatswords in the forge, get Dusk, sell for 600g and use the remaining gold to buy Venom, and still have money left over for other things.

How is 1200h+ and 500 rares easy?
Do you mind to define what is HARD and the the right way to get pre-cursor if not all the time i spend in this game doing all what is in my powers to get the pre-cursor ?

legendaries are a legendary waste of time to me, you don’t need the legendary bow so dont devote your life to it, just take your time. and 1200+hours is a ridiculous amount of game time, you could be baller rich.

The people saying be “patient” should be moderated. If you are happy to continue to be “patient” then feel free to do so but you don’t have the right to troll threads on the subject and that is what it is. No way do any of you have everything ready but the precursor and not care when you finish the weapon.

The posts that are appearing daily are here because people have lost patience with the method for obtaining the precursor. It has been more than 2 months and for many it is game breaking. Get your dream car and all you are missing is one tire … how long will you wait to get to drive it.

Speaking as one player that has had Gift of Twilight, Gift of Mastery, and Gift of Fortune sitting in his bank for more than a month … my patience ran thin a long time ago. Scavenger hunt? Sounds great. Should we have to wait months for it? Uh … no.

Add a tab to the Mystic Forge person with 1 handed precursors at 100 gold and 2 handed for 200 gold. Leave drop and forge chances the same. Would take all of an afternoon to do this. This method also REMOVES gold from the economy that is being flooded in by gold sales … GEM conversion and illegal sales. Removes 100% instead of 15% leaving 85% in economy courtesy of TP.

another user – leprekan – suggested the precursors be sold by an NPC for 100-200g. The choice of which one is yours and it is account bound on acquire also making any legendary you craft with said precursor account bound on acquire. A real gold sink and no way to recoup the gold spent on it as an exploit.
You could still get lucky and get one dropped ‘in the wild’ that your are free to sell on the TP, or spend the gold and take it out of circulation.
I applaud this suggestion even if 100-200gold is way beyond my means for at least a year. And no I don’t do dungeons so it would be reasonable to take that long for a casual to make at the current loot drop rate/quality.
EDIT: I meant to add that I kinda liked the idea and that I didn’t quote leprekan directly just giving the guy credit for the original idea.
EDIT 2: hey there’s leprekan with his original idea. Sorry for this it was meant as a compliment to you.

4 months playing i got 40 gold max how can i reach 500? how seriosly ?

No worries I am happy you liked the idea and even retained my name.

It is actually crazy they haven’t done this already. When you as the company also sell gold and do not put in a gold sink like this to take it back out … you are tanking your own game economy. They need to fire their “economist” =p

500 rares is nothing. I lost about 780g worth of rares and exotics till I got my precursor today (The colossus)

Terrible idea. Precursor is one of the biggest hurdles for a legendary, with lodestones after. What’s so great about a legendary when everyone has it?

WHY DO YOU WANT A LEGENDARY IN THE FIRST PLACE?
-It’s rare
-It looks nice

When you have a bunch of people frolicking in twilights and sunrises, nobody will want it. Some things in this game are meant to be rare. Many people on this forum just want things easy, simple and handed to them. And then they whine that they don’t have anything to do? Please.

Arenanet would have to quickly come up with a higher tier of weapons. And if we look at what the reaction was with something as innocent as Ascended gear? That would be a firestorm of whine.

Vol i don’t know what server you’re in dude but i’m a WvW player mostly and i’m surrounded by players who have Legendary Weapons at my server (a tier1 server)

Which makes my desire even bigger rather than as you said smaller.

There are many Legendaries already after the lost shores and seeing them make me want 1 myself even more.

You’re wrong at all points related to this topic.

Yeah, you want one because it makes you look cool and those who have it are ‘revered’.

I guess that novelty would hold when everyone is running around with it, huh?

A lot of people just want to look cool, and care very little of what people think of them.

I’m personally just starting my journey for frostfang. Certainly not an expensive one, but it’ll be fun.

You will win this debate because this is my only courtesy reply to you on this subject.

You Sir/Madam are wrong.

Anet has already stated they are not happy with how the precursor is obtained. We were told they were working on a Scavenger Hunt as the new way of acquisition. My suggestion > their idea. Ego? Not at all.

Scavenger Hunt will actually cause the prices on the other mats to soar as people no longer need to save money for the precursor. Mine will cause a price increase on Tier 6 mats as well but it would be marginal in comparison since people will still need a fixed amount for their precursor.

I honestly don’t care if they are as common as air drops while grinding. I have loved the way Twilight looks since Beta. This isn’t about kitten for many people but an actual love of the weapon skin. I personally, don’t care what weapon you or anyone else uses and if you DO care … I think we found the issue.

Take this nugget to the bank … change is coming and trolling won’t stop that from happening.
