Some threads have been posted about this already.
Here’s the reddit thread though.

I don’t quite like the idea of them messing with the current legendaries. Its a new idea and thus should be experimented first with a new legendary.
They could majorly screw it up and make legendaries even less legendary than it currently it. At least at the moment they somewhat of a status symbol because they’re worth a fortune, if they screw it up and make precursors dang easy to obtain….

I totally agree with you.
The best idea would be to introduce entirely new Legendaries, whose precusors would be craftable. At the same time, the “old” Legendaries and their precursors would stay unchanged, i.e. the process of making the “old” Legendaries would not be affected, and it wouldn’t “hurt” the players who often spent fortune both of time and resources to actually get the “old” Legendaries.
To Anet, no to easy acquire precusor. You’ll be makin our hard work useless!

Its not hard work actually getting a precursor (ie, not buying), its just really about being lucky. But its worth something because theres so few of them around.
Nothing in the current game can actually justify giving you a precursor on completion, so unless they;re going to add content which is insanely difficult, its just going to end up being a huge grind, which people are already doing to buy precursors outright.
In other words, I don’t see the point of the update.
I agree they should keep the current ones the same. I’d prefer new updated graphics rather then the dated looking original ones from over a year ago. However as to status symbol the only thing legendary about them is A how much you threw down the Mystic Toilet to the RNG gods or B how much RL money was wasted on something I can get the same stats from Ascended gear. Tons of $$$ for a graphic lol.
I hope they make new legendaries with requirement of something like:
-15k achievement points and map completion (Gift of Will)
-cleared personal story, and beaten 4 EXTREMELY difficult encounters unlocked afterwards (much like FF14’s hardmode primals) (Gift of Power)
-have completed every metaevent and jumping puzzle in the game (Gift of Courage)
-completed every dungeon in the game without wiping once (Gift of Wisdom)
(Only one with wisdom, power, will and courage is worthy to wield a weapon of legends).
Then after getting all 4 gifts, you need to take them to the end of a level 80 (your own reward level) FotM, accessing the special instance called the Grove of Legends, where you proudly pull the weapon from its pedestal (you can’t make a legendary weapon, its an item from the past).
Now that would make a weapon truly legendary.

that’s called truly Grind-ary.
