First, it started when they began making crafting recipes account bound. If we wanted to make those items, we had to have that craft.

Then it became making crafted items account bound. Thus forcing any of us who wanted said items (celestial, for example) to level any craft that would make the items we need. If you have more than one character, with more than one profession, it basically became ‘level all crafts to 400’ for your items.

Now it is account bound mats, that can never be refined into anything sellable. Thus making us either destroy this stuff by the stacks, level our crafts enough to make things with them, or buy bank space/character slots/whatever to store the stuff in hopes of them coming to their senses.

We already get trophies at events when we are not doing them, or if they end before we get to turn them in, and have to destroy them. We get miscellaneous things from places like SAB that we destroy on a regular basis, because they are not vendorable and cost more to put on the TP than they sell for. Now we are getting stacks of several different kinds of mats that we cannot use, vendor, or TP. If we don’t want to spend the small fortune leveling, don’t want ascended gear, or have our gear and don’t want more, we are destroying this stuff constantly.

Anet, I beseech you. If you are not going to be nice and stop forcing us to destroy things, forcing us to level crafting we don’t want to fuss with, and the like, then fix the stacking so we can have stacks of at least 1,000. Yes, I realize you need a money sink from all the farming you are letting those who cannot live without it do, but there is a large player base that could not care less. And your giving in to those who want GW2 to be like all other MMO’s is ruining our game. New players already get yelled at for fighting champions in the beginner zones, due to not being part of the champ zerg. Those of us that wanted to finish events in Orr were yelled at for destroying the farming zerg there. The invasion and the Pavilion were nothing but farm-fests.

I bought this game because you said it would be different. You said it would be fun. You said a lot of things. And now those things you said seem to be gathering dust under the desk as you give in to the hardcore players and make GW2 just another MMO. The fun is fading in this game for many of us. And that is sad. The only thing sadder than that is the fact that I, for one, wonder if you even care.

Sorry mate i think anet doesnt care about it.

In the past as they put in the ascended rings and amuletts, the say they have introduced it wrong cause they only gave one opportunity to achieve them. Then they added new ways to get them.

Now they do there own failure again. They even dont listen to them self

I for my self have deinstalled the game, but i am still hoping they will bring new ways to get the ascended weapon i dont like crafting end even have 1 profession on 400.

With my different weapon sets for every build i need to craft 1 Shield 3 Pistols and 1 rifle. Thats to much for me :/.

+1 to this

It would be nice if you can quote where did they said obtaining the ascended ring by a single mean is wrongly designed.

I don’t hate ascended, I just hate crafting being the only reliable way to obtaining one

There are too many things just way too watered out in this game; crafting being one of them.

Ascended gear as well as Legendaries should have been more achievement based than the crafting material grindfest that they are currently (not to mention they should have never been allowed for sale on the market); too late to change them in my opinion though, so nothing probably ever will…

You can get Ascended Weapons from anything that drops ascended mats..

If you’re not gonna bother leveling craft enough to refined the account bound mats, then i see no reason why youre complaining about having to destroy them, you wont be using them either way.
If you don’t like crafting as a mean to get ascended equipment, thats too bad cause the armors will go the same way (you can already see the mats for it in the collectibles tab). I for one think the way it was added was great, it gives ppl crafting a bigger meaning and you can get the mats for it by simple playing the game, and even if u get it at a slow pace you’ll still be getting it.

I dont care about the mats, it is the crafting, and that ascended gear can not change stats, for people with many waepons or builds it is a pain in the kitten to get them for all there builds even more when armor comes out.

They should give the opportunity to craft there ascended gear in the mystic forge

Even the crafters are hating this system because we already reached 400 which was supposed to be THE max now we have to get T6 materials all over again to get higher which either costs buttloads of money or another whole different set of grinding.
What’s worse is you can’t start the grind until you’re level 80.

Some of us left the game for a time because we couldn’t get anything T6 to drop off anything due to the wi flag loot system they had before and the DR working in tandem. Don’t misunderstand I am glad they fixed that but this whole new system is ridiculous and for Colin to say he hopes they don’t come out with yet another tier in a years time is just another insult honestly.
