Guild Wars 2

I am curious about why some people pursue legendary weapons. From what I can tell they are no more powerful than any other 1,166 max weapons. What is the point?

The skin, they make you stand out. It is a huge accomplishment and usually inspires awe in those who do not have one. I currently have kudzu which leaves unique footprints, and I am about 90% complete on the bifrost which fires unique projectiles, has a rainbow aura, and leaves footprints.

That…

Plus you can swap the stats anytime you want without any mats or the mystic forge. It’s the grind to end all grinds… unless the new generation is prettier… then you start grinding all over again -_-

For me, it’s a case of setting myself a long-term goal with plenty of variety. I’m working on making every legendary, which needs so many different things that I can play whatever content I feel like on any given day, and yet still feel like I’m making progress without it feeling like I’m grinding.

U can also switch with any stats in game even news ones like vipers and such

Beside that and the skin it has nothing more than ascended version

There is not much else to do. The end-game is basically gathering different skins.

statswap and skins
so in other words convenience and appearance

That is the whole point of gw2s philosophy, it is not too much to be competitive but how they get you interested in rewards past that point is through convenience, appearance or prestige.
