Guild Wars 2

BiS gear is desired in any MMO. The stat increases exist for the sole purpose of being desirable, whether there’s a stat req for particular content or not. Doubling the gap does nothing to lessen the desirability of Asc. It does increase it, however. Straw arguments about not “needing” it notwithstanding, Gibson is spot on, this is a move to make those who’ve disdained Asc. want it more.

No truly competitive person/gamer will say 5% or 10% is trivial. That figure can mean dead or alive, win or lose.
Why majority of gw2 players always brush the difference off as trivial? because it’s a casual game for casual gamers.

Yeah except this game isnt a game which is win or lose based on a minor stat difference on gear. So it really doesnt matter. It is trivial unless you are a mix/maxer. And if you are a min/maxer you should already have/want ascended gear. The complaints are flawed.

Also using food and potions still gives more than switching to ascended. So yeah people are complaining over nothing. Especially when most of the people complaining probably dont even use good food.

It wasn’t a complaint btw. And you just proved my point, casual spotted. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing lol.

Yeah im so casual ive only got 6 ascended sets out of the 9 I want. Lack of dragonite in fractals/dungeons. :<

Well, at least your response was typical casual :P. Still my point stand. Dragonite ores? easy, run around in circle @ silverwaste following chest train lol, very casual. 2-3 rounds will get you a stack. /chuchu

Hell, just do events in the silverwastes and farm it that way. I fill my dragonite stacks even without the chest train pretty steadily that way.
