ArenaNet doesn’t owe you anything, Please stop making these threads.

anet didn’t owe me ? Are you kidding me ? If Anet said that it will update this system in before . No one will craft two same legendary . The playwe who craft legendary is for the skin , not for the stats . If i craft legendary weapon for stars , why i don’t craft ascended weapon ?

I’m not working towards Meterologicus for the skin so don’t speak for everyone.

They have the best stats in the game and I can change the stats of the weapon at will. Meaning one less thing I have to buy should I choose to change my build.

And since skin does NOT equal the same item, ANet does not have to offer compensation as a PR move. Which all compensation due to game changes are. Voluntary compensation on their part to make a change not as harsh.

Skin does not equal the same item? Honestly it isn’t that hard to look at the average legendary prices over the past month and let people pick a skin of equal or lesser value. They don’t even have to give people a replacement legendary, just a skin for their wardrobe.

So you’re telling me that the skins carry the stats and the ability to swap stats and have the infusion slot? OMG! I’m really going to work towards Meterologics now. I’ll be able to have it on all of my characters, even a level 2 character who can use a scepter! [/sarcasm]

Skin does not equal the same thing as the weapon.

But they didn’t put in the work, time, and/or money into that different skin. They chose to put their time and/or money into 2 items that happened to have the same skin. That was their gamble. That the game would not change too quickly and make that choice a bad one. They just happened to lose that gamble.

The gem bought items are a PR gesture since people could have spent real money on the gems to get the extra copies of the skins and dye packs. Legendaries, you do not have to open up your wallet to get them. Yes, you can turn gold into gems, but what’s the conversion rate for that?

If skins are worthless what is the harm in giving people who worked for a second a second skin? There is no harm to you if this were to happen. Furthermore the legendary you hold up so highly for stats swapping will cost hundreds more gold than making every ascended combo in the game and not have a unique sigil for each. Sorry, but your argument for getting a legendary is flawed when ascended is cheaper and more functional.

Except for the BANK and INVENTORY space I would have to have to hold all of those combos. Legendary means I don’t have to dedicate bank or inventory space for different sets or run to a city if the item happens to not be in my inventory.

ANet places a value on skins in this game. Hence why they sell armor skins in the gem store. So no, you can’t get something you didn’t work for.

And legendaries have all the functionality of ascended plus more last time I checked. So I do not see where you are getting at that ascended is more functional. Please find me a post or something that says that ascended weapons have something that legendary weapons do not.

You gambled. You lost this one.

There are better solutions that wouldn’t have to be tied to this incident. Heck, people have been asking for the better solution for ages:

A gem store item that would make account/soulbound gear non account/soulbound anymore (at least for items that aren’t created account or soulbound, so as not to make ascended gear sellable on the TP). That would affect more things than just legendaries and let those who change their mind or just wanted the skin the ability to sell the item and get a new one. For a fee. And I wouldn’t want it to be too high. Maybe around the cost of the additional character slots kind of cost.

not this thread again …
Plz search the forums before posting a new ranting thread, this topic has already been discussed a lot after the wardrobe post.

I agree that people who spent alot of time and money for dual skins should be compensated. People saying otherwise saying you can switch stats on the fly have no real argument because we don’t have to play the game for the same reasons. If someone did it just for the skins that’s on them.

This isnt kitten Germany where your viewpoint is the only one ;P

Hickeroar.9734:

IMHO they should just give you a token to trade one of your legendaries in for any other one. They’re all roughly the same amount of work to build.

Okay, I’ll just make 6 Frenzies with a portion of my money right now then, and then swap them for 6 Twilight’s when the patch goes live and make about 4800g profit. I like your idea.

Bashido.8694:

I find this ironic because you say anyone who disagrees with you have no argument.

I love it. So many people blowing their gaskets to get video game freebies. An American rancher was having his cattle stolen and being threatened with SWAT teams and snipers over the weekend, but yet…all you people can think about is getting ‘compensated’ because you have two duplicate Legendaries.

Wait a second…I don’t love it…I absolutely despise it.

so all the farmable skins from LS’s that i spent time on to get, i should get compensated for each one right?

Dont they still have both legendaries after the patch?
Yes, they have and dont lose anything.
So you want compensation for nothing lost?

Also isnt having legendaries also because of having the best stats all time? I mean if at some point better gear comes out (hopefulle with an addon), those weapons will still be the best.

Argument that has nothing to do with the game what so ever. Let me try, you shouldn’t be playing or caring about the game because you could be spending your time caring about a rancher being threatened by a swat team.

Go save a rancher from a swat team and get back to us please, pics or it didn’t happen.

Oh wait, you’re still here doing the same thing we are lol.

Anet could take the average tp price of legendaries over the last 3 months and allow us to pick one of lesser value than our duplicate. Crisis averted.

What happens if you have the lowest worth legendary in duplicate?

I’d be ok with giving a gift of exploration back, since that can’t realistically be re-acquired. without buying another character slot.

However, those expecting to get compensation do not address the fact that they have had and used the luxury skins for some time now. Stats-swapping is a nice perk, but I believe is a small component of the value. The value is in having the skins (which anyone who had duals before the patch will still have after the patch). The complainers are like someone who went out and bought Armani suits, fancy shoes, Hermes ties, a Rolex and a Ferrari and have been running around town for a year in all this stuff yelling “look how sweet I am! yolo#swag”, then a year later expect to be able take it all back to the store for a full refund.

Anet already stated that ascended was the final tier. Unless they lied ascended will always be BiS too. Ascended is cheaper and more functional, provided you can stomach using a couple extra inventory slots for your different stats. Ascended is also becoming account bound too. Almost forgot the additional bonus of each ascended weapon being able to have a sigil relevent to the stats.

To be honest if anet told us legendaries would get a sigil library for us to add sigils to that we could swap to at anytime then I wouldn’t be complaining. I’d be happy knowing I could move my legendaries around without having to pay extra to change sigils when I go from condi war to power mesmer. As it stands right now though making several ascended weapons is more functional and cheaper than a legendary weapon. If you can’t manage bag space maybe you won’t agree.

That would probably be frenzy. I hope no one actually made two of those… I guess if they did though then I feel really bad for them. Maybe another underwater skin as compensation considering they aren’t too differently priced.

Or just unbind any duplicate legendaries so they can be sold….

I’d be happy with this option too.

I built two Legendaries Q&A:

Why are you so kittened off?

At the current tradepost price, the incinerator is worth about 3100g or so. At current exchange rate of 1 g to 0.18 USD, just one cost about 558 USD in gold.

Don’t you get the time before all the fake Legendaries in order to join all the people running around with them? Nobody will take that away from you.

Maybe, but. I finished my legendary 2 weeks before the announcement of the wardrobe. And now I seriously wish I hadn’t. I wish I waited another 2 weeks, deleted my gift of incinerator, sold my spark, and used the fortune and mastery gift on something else.

But you can trade and swap stats on it all you want.

I didn’t spend the thousands of hours to grind a weapon that can swap stats on the fly, I spent all that time to have matching skins. It costs me 62g to craft another one. 22g for the Deldrimor steel required, 2 for the dusts, and about 38g for the Inscription. Even if I used the feature, the dagger comes with 18 unique stat combos. Each would, again, run me about 62g. 18*62=1116g. Assuming I cared about having access to each and every dagger combo in the game, which I don’t, I would still be shafted out of around 2000g. All I wanted was the skin.

But you can give your legendary to your other characters!

Ascended gear can be given to other characters, so I didn’t pay 3100g to have that skill.

This is just like when a game goes on sale. Are you going to kitten because you paid extra for the same product?

No, it’s not. It’s as if I strung two cable lines to my house in order to get cable on my both my TVs, each costing about 550$ and then a week later get a call that they’re upgrading my service so that I can get cable on both my TVs with only one line. And on top of that, Anet is fully capable of making having two incinerators worth something again, but they didn’t.

You will always have that best-in-slot Item, and when better weapons come out, you’ll have yours automatically upgraded!/What if they add extra effects during the summer patch?

I’m not sure some arbitrary promise is worth an extra 500 USD. Sorry.

What would make you happy?

Some sort of added effect like Eternity over the Twilight/Sunrise. Unsoulbind/Accountbind. Ability to transfer or gift it to another player. Some sort okittennowledgement that Arenanet is doing something to address this, to make us players in the small minority who’ve done this not feel like kitten because of this decision to craft two of the same legendary. Even if it is in the summer patch. Arenanet has reimbursed Dyes, town clothing on a case by case basis, and even dual BLC ticket claim skins. Seriously.
