Guild Wars 2

Considering that raids and fractals are being designed around ascended gear, I would like to make a strong proposal. In the spirit of being able to experiment with many types of gear and builds, but still keeping the value up on ascended, I would like to suggest that the devs allow for two things…

1- Allow players to purchase ascended recipes, trinkets, rings, infusions… with spirit shards in place of laurels or with a big gold sticker price. So you can use either use laurels + OR spirit shards + OR just lots of gold (super gold sink).

2- Get rid of the time gated crafting of ascended crafting materials considering the base mats have to be earned anyway.

Thoughts?

IF they’re going pay to win and requiring ascended/legendary for HoT stuff, may as well just sell the items in the gem store.

You would still have to earn ascended materials to craft armor and weapons.

I think it would be a great way to jumpstart into ascended by making trinkets and stuff more accessible. It could be a great gold sink too.
