…anything, at all, ever.

I feel crafting in Guild Wars 2 is nothing but a chore and a massive time sink/grind wall barring actually interesting content (combat in end game).

If you can give me some measure of assurance that I will be able to better loot ascended level gear, I will buy Heart of Thorns.

I don’t see any reason why you have to get ascended gear. The game is still balanced around Exotics.

  • Fractals (up to a certain level) can be easily done with only-ascended trinkets and those can’t be crafted.
  • Other content does not require Ascended — player skill (and understanding of game mechanics) matters much, much more.
  • The only exception I see for HoT is Raids and we just don’t know enough to know whether it will matter at all, just a little (similar to FotM), or a lot. (Obviously, some Raid groups will insist on Ascended; I don’t plan to raid with those groups though, if I can help it.)

I feel people nowadays want everything for free and to never actually earn anything.

It’s ok. You don’t have to have ascended gear. I don’t and I live.

Because wanting a way to get something other than the “prescribed” way is wanting something for nothing…

Logic failure…

That was a general statement in regard to an entirety of forum. That’s why “i feel people”. So who’s failing logic here? I didn’t point at anyone. Just general sentiment about what’s going around these forums for quite some time now.

Also you can want but they are not obliged to deliver that to you. Lots of people want a lot of different things. Often they contradict each other so that’s a no-go. What I said is also true. If he doesn’t like it he doesn’t need to do it. I dislike crafting so I don’t do it. It’s just that simple really. If you want more then work towards it.

You really should read an entire thread before you make assumptions about what it’s about.

Nobody here wants something for doing nothing. Its the process of the something and only purpose of that something that makes it very very awful.

Then as you read on you would see the OP wouldn’t mind earning the gear in other ways. Those ways taking a decent amount of time as well.

Some people just wanna be rude to be rude. hmph!

There’s literally nothing rude about my post. I don’t get where you get the idea that it is? I gave advice that I myself followed. I dislike crafting so I don’t do it. No sleep lost over it. Earning in other ways… see above. Many people would want to earn it in other ways as well and these ways may contradict each other. They won’t give in to wants of people for the sake of satisfying everybody because it’s impossible.

I would want a piece of ascended gear of my choice for every 7th day logged reward instead of whatever it is right now. Does it mean ANet should do it because I want to pursue it in that way ?

“I feel people nowadays want everything for free and to never actually earn anything.” Would be considered a rude statement and false assumption but let’s just move on.

Some suggestions are reasonable “Please enhance the reward for this hard work”
Some suggestions are garbage “Give me now quicker for no effort”

And I am 100% Anet has a brain and knows what is good and bad. The game is amazing and I believe the only reason crafting isn’t that great now is because the economy has moved far from where the original ideas of how it should work.

One thing that would improve crafting imo other than account bound skin rewards would be to clean up the Trading post to only hold so many items for so long. We wouldn’t have massive amounts of items stocked up so nothing is worth anything.

Wow amazing another “i don’t like X content but I want the reward” thread…
You people are amazing, seriously you never stop to impress me.

GW2 is a package (as any other game) and YOU CHOOSE not to do part of it and yet you find totaly legit to ask a way to get reward relate dto the content, once again, YOU CHOOSE not to do.
You don’t want to craft, you don’t want to buy, you probably don’t want to raid/fotm/dungeon either I guess. So basically you decide to skip a huge part of the game and yet complain.

Hopefully this thread will be lock just like the other similar thread. And I’m pretty sure no one will bring any valid argument, 2 to 3 players will just respond to each other in an endless thread… just likeit happened in similar thread about gear, raid, hard content…

I’m guessing you didn’t read the thread. I’d love a crack at higher level dungeons/raids, but I don’t want to craft in order to get there.

You are absolutely correct. Crafting is a huge part of the game. This is the whole point of my thread. It shouldn’t be.

You DO know the whole “I don`t like crafting” is a dead horse that`s minced meat at the moment, right? You`re complaining about something that has been a big deal since launch and its most likely it`ll never get an smaller.
