the new amulets in FOTM
the new amulets should be able in the FOTM npc. as it is a pink item and is another agony res piece. another way to attain it should be from fotm. maybe in same currency as trading for the fotm ring
Anet is starting to turn into Mojang. Implenting half finished features with promises to finish them later and adding them months later if at all. There quite a few places they should add the ascended gear hut fotm is the last place I would want them to add it to.
Making them available through dailies means that Ascended gear is now available to the open world crowd, the dungeon crowd, and the WvW crowd. It is a step in the right direction at least.

While I do agree they should add more ways to get ascended gear, I personally don’t feel like FotM is where they should add it. Due to that fact that a lot of people (myself included) have already farmed tons of relics and many just sitting around, if they added anything to FotM now then we could easily just buy it since we already have the tokens. They want to add NEW ways that everyone will have to do and experience so that no one can just immediately get it from things they have done in the past.
If they added amulets to FotM then that wouldn’t give anyone a reason to do anything to keep playing the game so it’d be counter-productive to the game environment and the players themselves would get bored quicker.
Sure, the new dailies have recieved some backlash but I think doing anything is a step in the right direction as long as they keep listening to the player’s and try to make the game as best as they can I don’t think anyone can really get mad. After all, they ARE still adding content and developing for the game so GW2 definitely has a long future ahead of it.
I agree that the reason the amulets were not added to the relic buy lists is because they didn’t want to give them to be purchased right away by people who stockpiled the relics (the same reason why I believe they won’t ever add them to WvW for badges, some people have tabs full of badges) but I disagree with that decision. I don’t think most people have that many relics. Most people don’t even have rings. I also don’t think they can just ditch a currency once they think players have accumulated too much of it. They need to keep adding new things to buy with karma, badges, tokens and relics and give equal access to the ascended items via all these sources. They are making obvious attempts to calendar gate people from accessing rewards as opposed to letting you earn it in whatever amount of time you have, I just think that’s a very short sited and unfair way to go about it.
They should have added the amulets to the merchant in FotM in addition to the laurel vendor.

My thoughts exactly. Increase the means of availability, not change the ways to get it.
