Q:
Grinding for Legendary is it worth?
We’ll know for sure when we see what their plan is on how players can acquire previous years’ back items.
As far as whether it is worth grinding, that is entirely up to players to decide for themselves.
- Do you want the functionality of being able to swap stats and not rely on swapping ascended back items?
- Do you like the skin?
- Do you want access to all new stat combos rather than craft a new back item?
- How much of your playtime, which you could spend elsewhere in the game, is the item worth to you?
These are just a few questions that one could ask themselves.
it would be really foolish if they make the Ascension available so soon after the reward track has expired. The major thing about the track was to complete it within a certain time to get access to the backpiece. If there was long period of time where it was inaccessible (2 years at least) it would hold some value for the people who grinded for it.
In an mmorpg an items value is everything, thats something Anet still doesnt fully understand yet
To answer the OPs question, no its not worth it this season, no real rewards for it.
Do you want to grind a crafting skill to 500. just for 2 vision crystal need to complete the back pack?
As a pvp player, not at all.

…or as final reward of the daily log ins…. got those christalls and i don’t have a job – ingame
…but it could be more cool if new weapon scins arrived(wich can only be obtainble only by legendary division)
Anet doesn’t want that, otherwise the glider skin would require at least one legendary achiefment.

I didn’t go thru pvp hell that everybody else get that back on easy mode a few years later, i agree 2 years is to short!

Yea man possibly even longer because it is a pvp legendary item. If i worked for Anet, i would leave within 6 months unless i had any say in class direction.
As someone who made Legendary. No.
It’s never had any prestige either, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. There is always and exploit involved. Or in this season’s case, RNG.
Before anyone gets kitteny with me, let me just say: Season 1, I killed countless legendaries without making it there myself (due to ragequitting) at the end of the day it’s just a badge on your name. You are better off playing ranked with self-improvement on your mind then “grinding”, your skill level isn’t determined by a shiny badge next to your name. It’s by how you play. You aren’t perfect, but no one is. Look for your flaws and iron them out.
It seemed more exclusive attaining legendary tier in January but now feels as meaningless as the legendary champ title which I got mid 2014. They both do not reflect skill whatsoever.
Not sure about crafting. Tried it for 5 min but quit coz it didn’t provide the challenge and instant gratification pvp does.

I thought about doing it since its neat…but it wouldn’t match any of my toons so it would not even be shown half the time.
Not to mention how exploitable legend was when it came out, I don’t find any of the high tiers to be prestigious anymore due to all that.
Personally i’d be more interested in it if they had some nice looking weapon and armour skins attached to it. Or perhaps some cool finishers instead of just some dye and gold.

Focus less on pip icons and more on team leaderboards.
Need some real incentive to form teams and I don’t mean item rewards.
Having ground out my legendary on my alt account; No, it most definitely was not worth it. I finished because I said I would and I couldn’t walk away after having spent so much time and effort on the project.
After horrendous stomps, being farmed by esl teams, 65+ loss streaks… it became a matter of principle.
PST you can get the vision crystals from reward tracks.

Yeah… we need all team list not just the top 10.
And having our “teams” on it with their ranking, so I don’t have to search for hours on them would be better.
For the rewards, GEMS like it was at first with Qualification Point on auto-tourney format 2 of best 3. Each month an auto-tourney should be made with the teams that have a minimum of QP. (plz don’t put grinds into that, just a bare minimum to show the team can wins some auto-tourney)
