Guild Wars 2

You seem to be missing the point of my argument. From the very beginning my stance has been “do not develop things just for legendary users, it is a waste of dev time because there are so few of them”. As you pointed out, there have been multiple uses for the stat selection dropdown, and I’m sure there will be more in the future (I believe that one thing you missed is ascended insignia/inscriptions recipe purchasing).

So yeah, great, a cool feature was developed for several reasons, give it to legendary users as well. It’s already something that is going to see widespread uses across the community, no reason to hold it back from legendary users. Let’s be honest, 1 item out of 13-14 PvE gear slots isn’t going to change that much. It’s just a convenience. If you’re changing your build from say zerker to dire that’s 1 less item you have to deal with. I’m totally fine with that.

If for whatever reason a sigil library is developed for all users, say as something you could craft/forge and attach to a weapon, I would be all for giving it to legendary users for free as well. The only thing I don’t want to see, and I believe I’ve been consistent about this, is exclusive game content that only legendary owners can access, which is essentially what your suggestion amounts to, whether you realize it or not.

I misunderstood what you meant previously – You are correct that a basic stat selection was previously designed and required very little development time after that.

For that reason, a Sigil selection could see further use. Maybe an alternate use could be implemented at the same time. Your crafting selection is a good idea (we know things like to be gated behind crafts) – perhaps a number of the Sigils required, and likely T7 materials and other goodies.

My stance is that stat switching is a quality of life feature that ought to be rolled out to ascended and even exotics.

A line has to be drawn somewhere. Arena net have already set their line, due to the already implemented out-of-combat stat switching
