Guild Wars 2

Scribing is awful, I hope it gets fixed.

Anet has always been about absurdly high numbers of mats being required for things. Look at the Mystic Forge, look at legendary weapons, look at any crafting for that matter. Since Guild Halls and Scribes are “guild level” activities, it’s only natural to expect that “haha let’s make the number stupid high” is going to get even dumber.

I’m my guild’s scribe. The mats requirements are so high we’ve been ignoring it. Just having a hall is enough of a grind already.

I just spent 1500g leveling scribe from 350 to 400. Used 20 guild vaults and 7 backpieces.

Then I looked at what I could make at 400 and outside of a grandfather clock there wasn’t much since it’s gated behind other decos/guild level lol.

I’ve crafted 4 legendaries and they were stupid simple compared to this. The only hassle was when they got rid of skill points and you had to go farm and hope that spirit shards dropped in your bags. Otherwise, most mats were easily bought at a reasonable price or gathered simply by PLAYING (not farming) the game.
