Would this have been better (hypothetical update)
Infinitely better.
lol i think this is what most ppl wanted, and i agree with more skills and ranger pets, armor skins and everything, nobody here is against new looks we welcome them, many ppl see that ur choice of utility healing and elite skill slot is severly limited and that is also very welcomed, the backpiece exotic stats would probably the only thing i would ever want it increased as u have to pay 5 gold for a yellow one and thats just ridiculous, same could apply for the water breather, but introducing gears with better than max stats is downright insulting.
As for vacation theme well… theres enough erotic armor going on which i find strange beying this a rated 12 game… no clue how they got that here, alot of armor just look as if you are having a sexual fantasy, tbh i see no place for armor like these in a game, i dont want that kind of crap in the games i play.

No update at all would have been better than what we’re getting imo.. This update (revamp) killed the game for me.
Skill capturing is the only idea I do not agree with, it was great in GW1, but doesn’t have a place in GW2 at all, as more skills are introduced it becomes a very bad thing for players that are just starting in the game and know nothing about these skills.
Example, Gw1 I started playing not so long ago maybe a year and the sheer number of skills I didn’t have was a turn off from the game, not to mention some of those skills were absolutely necessary to clear certain area or bosses.
Much of the issues people are complaining about wouldn’t even exist had ANet not broken it’s promises in the first place, or at the very least gave some indication that they would be adding new gear levels throughout the game before it was released.
Let me repeat.
Still waiting for you geniuses make a great game, and show how it’s done.
I’m waiting……
Everyone is going to feel really embarassed when they realize how much they were overreacting to this whole thing. I’m 1000% against any kind of gear treadmill as well, but the devs would have to be vegetable-class braindead not to be aware of that, especially after everything that’s happened this week. You all need to seriously chill and give it a chance.
That said, this entire calamity probably could have been 100% avoided if they had implemented this a bit differently. For example, a gold sink that adds an extra upgrade slot to your existing gear for the new infusion upgrades: Totally optional, 100% equivalent, doesn’t affect gear balance, and is only an active mechanic when in that one dungeon. That’s basically the gist of what they are doing, but the way they did it (new “tier” of gear) was the equivalent of poking 100 sticks into an anthill.
Yes to all your ideas, WTB 2h Axes, Polearms, diving short sword/net maybe?
issue is…we dont have update notes..just the event notes..thats all we have. So how can you say what you have written is better when we dont know what they did? All we can say is alot of people seem to dislike the ascended stuff.
I don’t mind the new gear and all, but to avoid all the QQing and all the raging why not make the stats the same as exotics and the only difference is that infusion slot.
again I don’t mind the new gear type at all, just saying so many childish QQing and whining could have been avoided this way.
