precursor collection is a ripoff
The major ripoff to me is not the cost, it does not shock me too much. But the fact that as far as I can tell, a majority of the collections do not work… Anet this was a selling point for HoT and its been 3 weeks since release and there is not even a “We are working on it”
Because he doesnt consider working for this target to be an entertaining ‘journey’ but rather a prolonged visit to a labour camp.
Fair enough, but then playing a RPG feels a bit of a misplaced choice in games. There’s plenty genres in which no progression exists, as much as that has spread. Fighting games come to mind, or MOBAs, which only have momentary progression.
Are you trying to tell me there are no RPGs where the journey is actually enjoyable? That just isnt true. Also MMOs/RPGs usually have a curve type progression. GW2 is probably the only MMO I know that has a flat line suddenly turning into a vertical wall type of progression.
But legendaries don’t have better stats, so it’s not an issue of progression. It’s an issue of it being a long-term goal and a status symbol.
However, when there are two routes to this and one is out of whack with respect to the other, then that is cause for concern and the topic of this thread. (Mind you, I believe it’s not as kittenome think, but I think it’s at least worth discussing.)
In short, the nature of gear progression in GW2 is a different thread, not this one.
Well, I think visual progression is still a form of progression especially in GW2 (also the issue affects ascended gear to a degree too). Soon youll have a whole set of legendary armor to grind for… and Im sure they’ll call it an adventurous journey once again just because theyve added an UI window with a few icons to the game. Its a cheap excuse for content. How about some quests? Some exploring? How about some challenges? Nope… itll be ‘gather 50k of this and craft 300 of that’.

Grumpy casuals need to stop trying to take the “legendary” out of Legendary gear. I’m a pretty casual player and I don’t go for legendary gear because…I’m a casual player.
There’s nothing wrong with not having the same things or as many things as the people who play the game a ton. You’re perfectly fine with exotic. I’ve gotten to the point where I can sometimes make an ascended weapon here or there but mostly I’m just dominating the game with exotics on all my alts.
Do I sometimes think about trying to get a legendary? Yes. Definitely
Do I get angry when I realize it would take way too much time or energy? No. Absolutely not.
= Give up on Legendaries if you don’t want to put the time or gold into getting them. = They are just weapon skins with a bit of convenience tacked on. You’ll enjoy the game a lot more doing things that are actually fun.

Ignorant people need to stop posting in the relevant topic since they do not know the point and the issue at all.

Thing is there is not enough between the casual rewards and the insurmountable wall that is legendary gear acquisition (armors soon to come). Theres stuff thats easily obtainable and then theres the monumental kittenblock of legendary equipment. How about some more stuff in between for people who are serious about the game but not certifiable? :P Or at least make obtaining the legendary an enjoyable process not a chore. After all its a game.

Something like ascended weapons, maybe?

I said more stuff. I didnt say there’s nothing there. Also, its pretty much the same process as with legendary weapons only on a (much) smaller scale. Not very entertaining.
