Guild Wars 2

Why is the option even there? Who in their right mind would destroy a legendary weapon? If someone ever do it’s an accident.

you have to type the name of the item to destroy it, which can’t be an accident :P

I would just to prove a point.

Legendaries are the carrot on the stick that anet likes to dangle in our face everyday. They use it to coax desperate players into buying gems to get one. The only thing anyone will ever get out of it is the feeling of accomplishment for making one. And even then, they’ll get chastised for buying it simply because the achievement and cost alone makes them jealous.

But I am not so shallow and materialistic. I could care way less if someone made an Eternity because there are way more people who got the weapon before them. If I am to revel at anything, it has to be something I rarely see and it has to look good. I already achieved that with my mesmer with masquerade/Conjurer and Aureate/Krytan weapons. I get more compliments about my mesmer than I see compliments towards people with Eternity.

Why should I care about legendaries when I can just make a cheap theme and receive more kudos?

BTW here is my mesmer

EDIT: To stay on topic, I think destroy should be the only option imho.

ok thanks! because the elementalist has no weapon swap button my Incinerator and Bifrost always get mixed up in my loot. It’s already super annoying to have my inventory window permanently opened I didn’t want to have the stress of accidentally losing it on top of it…
