HoT is very lackluster
Anet has gone silent again? You must live in a bubble. Let’s talk about the “silence” of Anet for a second.
…
Since those changes, have you heard anything from Anet? Those changes were, what, 2 weeks ago? Look at the forums. Especially look at the WvW forum in which there’s been a resounding silence from Anet almost from the release of HoT. Point me to one post in the last week in which there’s an Anet response on the major forums? There might be one or two, but nothing substantial.
Anet has not been touting the success of HoT at all. They haven’t released any notices about how well it has been received. They haven’t spoken to any of the issues that people have raised SINCE they applied the band-aid patch early on.
It’s like they’ve bunkered down. Bunkered down from what, I wonder?
I had one Ascended weapon box, but it was Rabbid what was useless for me (See why I dislike this part of MMO’s).
You can change the stats in the mystic forge.
You can Google how to do it.
Problem is, it costs gold and you lose all upgrades in the process, but it’s alright for a one time thing.
But, in general, I agree with you.
I know I can, but like you say, it cost gold.. just as everything. And because everything cost gold (And I’m not a grinder) I never have gold. So then I can better wait until I somehow get the weapon with the stats I need.
