Guild Wars 2

Collections annoy the heck out of me and not just legendary collections. When they were first added, I thought, “Hey, cool, some optional off-the-wall stuff to do that doesn’t really matter, but adds to the game in a unique way.”

Now it seems like collections are another word for “crafting recipe that wouldn’t fit in the mystic forge.” Getting tired of having so-called optional systems shoved in my face because I deigned to try an unrelated system.

Yes. I’m madbro.

I’m not mad, just really disappointed that some troll could set people back like that. I had so much excitement about finishing tier 4 with my gf and now im kind of just sour.

It kinda blows my mind that Anet has intentionally created a situation that breeds trolling and customer support involvement. I mean the situation as Anet has created it both makes players unhappy and costs them money. A real winning combination.

The problem is that when collections added, people said.. “whoa, we likes!” ANET had like a couple of them. Then ANET thought why not give ’em what they want and a boatload of them. People saw Silverwastes and sexy glowy armors. People again exclaimed, “Yeah, moar!”

Then ANET decided to give the people COLLECTIONS. I mean let’s make every kitten freaking kitten in the game is a collection. People gotta like that..they liked it before!.

But, that did not exactly go as planned. So, what’s the lessons learned here?

For people, be careful what you wish for.
For ANET, too much of something is not desirable.

Time to go back to try to get silver on some bullkitten so I can craft something totally unrelated.

Its baffling that Anet refuses to learn from their mistakes. They had this exact same problem when they changed Traits to require some of the failed event chains and soon after it was modified to work for both successes and failures.

They repeat the problem in Legendary collections, people immediately see the problem and point it out. And now they do it AGAIN with the next wave of Legendary collections.

Remember when Anet told us they didn’t like people making an event fail on purpose? Now we see these collections lol

Surely it has to be an oversight of the crafting, why would Anet ask you to go to a world event that has to fail, when most temples will be completed with ease,

Anet have spent 3 years changing/lowering the rewards from events that players failed on purpose, now they are asking you to fail it to get an item, that seems backwards, or a design oversight that will get fixed.
