Guild Wars 2

So my first fractal weapon drop, after many many runs, was a SHIELD! An item i cant use, and im not a fan of making alts neither. So i cant sell it, i cant use it, what do i do? Salvage it? Throw it at the mystic forge? Keep it at bank taking dust?

You went into the Fractals hoping for drops to sell?

-smh-

edit: Whoops didn’t notice you meant the fractal skin weapons.
In that case I agree with the below post. Just bank it for another character to use if you like the skin. Even if your not big on alts, you might start a second character later.

What? I made loads of money off of drops in fractals. I don’t even think I have one of those elusive “lucky” accounts. Fractals nets me tons of ectos and drops drops to sell (cores, lodestones, exotics with expensive runes/sigils….etc).

OP, that’s a pretty cool looking shield. I would stash it in your bank and save it for an alt that uses a shield.

No i went to fractals hoping to get items for MYSELF, but not even that, i cant sell it nor use it, really lame, RNG has to go when you spend a few hours doing something and get nothing back.

For this being a purely cosmedic game, I don’t know why ANet doesn’t reward players accordingly for time spent. The constant barrage of slaps to the face make it extremely hard for people to get invested.

ANet has the right idea (lottery ticket loot system) but the rewards are scratch and win while the odds are based off Mega Millions.

Several little wins will keep you coming back, while 1 in 175,711,536. per run will not.
