Guild Wars 2

Hi does enyone else find it tiresome that pve players are forced to play pvp and wvw to craft the new precursors? Not only do you have to have a level 14 in wvw to obtain the gift of battle (which never used to be a requirement) you also need to grind pvp which gives you a measly 3 shards of glory per win. Concidering you need 200 to make a two handed wepon means that I will be spending my time playing something that I do not enjoy inorder to make my pre, the same going for those that enjoy pvp and wvw having to do pve stuff.

Or you could purchase them on the TP?

Good luck.

Either way farming, for gold or pvp and wvw tokens, not fun in my opinion and detracts fom the sence of achevment crafting something gives, I do not think that pres shold be available on the tp and have thought so from the start.

They should make those shards account bound with an official message from Anet that would read along the lines of:

“You wanna new legendary? Then you’ll have to earn it by playing WvW and PvP so play on and earn that thing!”

The requirement used to be level 30.

Just to put it into perspective… WvW players have to farm PvE to level their guilds for them to even be able to claim a camp again.

PvP and WvW are always ‘forced’ to play PvE if they want nearly anything. So for a legendary it shouldn’t be too bad to dip your toe into either of those.

WvW/PvP players are forced to go PvE , and vice versa. Whoever concocted up that idea never actually played the game considering all the requirements.

Dev’s are architects who don’t live in the house they design.

“Oi, where’s the toilet ?”
" In the bedroom."
“Sounds like fun….”

Just play the game, make some money (farm or don’t farm, do whatever) and then buy them off the TP. If you ever find yourself not enjoying the game, play it differently.
