anets return on £85 for 8k gems is exceedingly low? oh my god they dont actually go out and mine real gems do they? the money is real the gems are not.you do see the difference dont you.or is there something im missing?
You misunderstand what I said. A player getting one piece of non-performance enhancing armor is an exceedingly low return on a 30 pound expenditure.
The only thing your missing is the idea that people should take responsibility for their spending decisions instead of blaming companies for selling products and services for
being greedy. I mean, the difficulty (and hence the cost) of getting a Legendary Armor set is about as strong a deterrent as Anet can provide for anyone with anything but the person with deep pockets. How much more of a incentive do you need to NOT spend your money this way?
no it is you that misunderstands. at 400g per run and 18 runs needed just for the first 1/3 of the what is not even the legendary armor collection but possibly the precursor the cost is over £500.now if the rest of the collection follows this same pattern it works out £1500 plus what they add to take the precursor to legendary.
please keep in mind this is on top of the £3000 they already had out of me to get what i thought they would keep best in slot.
When its costing thousands of pounds to buy armor in any game something is very wrong and someone is very greedy.
I am not kiting out multiple toons.i got just one a warrior.

Yes, the thing that is wrong is that you aren’t supposed to buy it, therefore the cost to buy it outright will be proportionally and prohibitively high compared to what’s available. The greed is players that ignore the obvious cost barrier to outright purchasing the armor. Anet is not greedy because it costs thousands of pounds to buy an armor set because they have made that armor set available INTENTIONALLY and PRIMARILY as a reward for raiding. Not seeing that is being obtuse.
Anet is not greedy because you don’t value your money and spend more than you even think you should on GW2. That’s a self-control issue and it’s also irresponsible to blame Anet for your lack of it.
I will say this … please continue because it only benefits me to have people like you subsidizing my gameplay and making this business model work.

or you could just search for a guild which plays the raid and don’t buy it
you don’t need 18 runs either, if you are lucky you need 5 runs in the first wing and could need 200 if you are unlucky
nobody knows what items you need from the other 2 wings
ArenaNet is not greedy only because you don’t want to play the content
also ascended and legendary items still have the same stats even if you try to convince people that legendary is BiS and ascended is not
BiS = Best in Slot = best reachable stats for your role/play style, you can’t redefine definitions to fit your argumentation (see casual and grind in other threads…)

Haven’t spend a dime on the collection… No one is pointing a gun at you to buy gems.
There’s nothing greedy in it.
