Dear Arenanet team,

I truly love that we had the opportunity to craft a new backpiece. I feel that it gives the player a sense of accomplishment creating a new and exciting backitem. However, I do not love the idea that a player has to master multiple crafting jobs in order to complete the job all by himself.

Is there a possibility crafting-processes similar to the Mad King Memoires will return to the game, i.e. going on a hunt for several items, and combine them at a NPC or at the mystic forge without the requirement of a high-leveled crafting profession?

Thanks in advance!

I think you might be able to get rare and exotic items that way in future but the ascended back pieces in the LS are already the easy alternative to fractal back pieces, which are not trivial to acquire. In fact this back piece is the top reward (only reward?) from half a season of living story so on that basis too it was always likely to require a lot of effort.

That might be true, but crafting it cost a lot of gold (especially if you haven’t mastered any of the relevant crafts)
