What is the point in getting end game gear?

Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.

for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Colin Johanson to Eurogamer: "Everyone, including casual gamers,
by level 80 should have the best statistical loot in the game.
We want everyone on an equal power base.”

Ascended can make a difference in WvW builds. That’s the real endgame anyways!

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real.
No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind.

Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
I don’t have opinions. I only have facts I can’t adequately prove.

Guild Wars 2 lacks this feeling of being heroic and becoming more powerful over a period of time.
Go to Orr at level 10, and come back and say that.
You don’t become more powerful over a period of time in GW2 once you hit 80. I mean, you can tweak your build, but that will only make you slightly better. Once you hit that point, you begin to wonder what the point of even playing was, and what the point of playing further is. Anet’s idea of purely cosmetic armor was nice, but it lacks depth and it doesn’t feel like you’re gaining more power, because you’re not.
Wait…you’re shocked that a game that advertised as having no continuous gear treadmill doesn’t have a continuous gear treadmill?
Getting higher and higher stats isn’t all that ‘deep’ either. It simply makes the numbers that pop up get bigger.
Now, adding things like new skills and such. That adds depth. Why? Because the player has more choices. Providing these choices are viable, more skills on the same power level as all other skills will add a whole lot more depth than numbers simply getting bigger.
It actually does have a gear treadmill but it’s very shallow…..Anet’s good at shallow

It has a treadmill when you level.
When you get to 80, the treadmill isn’t there (unless you’re in Greens, in which you can skip rares anyway).
As for Ascended, as long as that’s the last tier, it’s more of a step, since a treadmill is continuous until you get off.

It’s just slower or do you really think that when they raise the level cap (which is coming according to Anet last time I checked) your current gear will automatically be made level 90 or whatever? Also level cap raises are part of treadmills. Anet is going much slower so you can walk it at your leasure, but ascended gear is step 1 and the level cap raise is likely to be the next one and as you say ascended may not be the last tier. You think that once they’ve brought out armour with ascended stats and most people have it, it will all end there? I have a doubt…..yeh I think it’s just very slow but still a treadmill. And that’s not a bad thing necessarily, so don’t think I am against it per definition.
When the game came out I was against it because it was sold to me as a game without gear progression. Now that I know they never actually said it, well, then that’s what it is. I also play MMOs that do have gear progression and that’s fine as long as it doesn’t go too fast.
