Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if it’s mention before. If it is I apologize since I’ve searched and came up with nothing :P

Anyhow, I was lucky enough to get two ascended armor boxes this week, one from Teq and another from Wurm. However the one I got from Teq is a stats that I will never ever use on any characters.

So my suggestion is why not have the boxes change the boxes into a form of token where players can trade those tokens in for the stats they want? Instead of putting the useless box in the bank that people will probably never throw away cause it’s so rare.

I suggested this since the drop rate is so low, it’s kind of disappointing to see a box finally drops for you and you can’t use it.

So basicly you got hundreds of golds worth of drops, but you still have the audacity to come on the forums and complain?

And yes, it has been discussed before. My opinion is that such a token-system would be outrageously unfair, even for an MMO as rng-based as GW. Some players would get their wanted ascended armor for free, but 95% of players will never ever see an ascended drop and will have to spend alot of cash on crafting it.

So my counter-suggestion is; be happy with what you got. You have been extremely lucky to get two ascended drops.

Complaining? All I’m doing is offering a suggestion. And for those 95% people, maybe they should do more events? I don’t see how a token based system would be unfair, if people really want to farm for ascended armor/weapon, they would do these events constantly. Even if they don’t get a drop, they’ll earn enough gold to craft one with the amount of events they do. Also I did say I was lucky to get those two drops.

This suggestion is to aim at more casual players, not myself. Someone that doesn’t do these event constantly and don’t even have a lot of gold like majorly of us suddenly got a ascended drop which can’t help them at all, what’s the point? Unfair? Unfair would point out to those people that have no life and can farm constantly compare to the people who can’t.
