Q:
Will legendarys ever have their own stats?
I can’t give you an official answer but I would say: No.
Like in Guild Wars 1 you can spend a lot of time and effort in special weapons / armor but it will not give you any advantages over other players.
I think that is an important thing that contributes Guild Wars and differentiates it from other mmorpgs.
Good God, I hope not. No more vertical progression, please.
Answer – Legendary weapons will always be the highest stat gear in the game. It will never be any higher than the highest tier available.
In GW2, Trading Post plays you!
If they ever release another tier, I don’t think Legendaries should be auto-adjusted/given a free ride. Instead, to bring the Legendaries to the highest tier, they should have to combine it in the mystic forge with new tier materials.

Not gonna happen. Legendaries update their stats automatically upon release of a new tier (exotic – ascended), you don’t need to do anything to them.
I understand that’s how it works (I own a legendary) but I don’t like it being auto-updated. It just doesn’t make sense that I shouldn’t have to care when a new tier comes. I’m also level 500 weaponsmith and huntsman but these weapons are not future proof.
My suggestion of mystic forging a legendary to upgrade the stats to a new tier is just so that new content actually effects it, without it being a major grind. If they had implemented this for the ascended tier for example, it could be something like legendary weapon + bloodstones + dragon ore + empyreal (easy).
