Guild Wars 2

First off fix the economy cause the prices are totally nuts, items worth only a few bronze cost you almost one silver to buy while on the other hand items worth a silver or two are sold for a loss, i’ve found a lot of items that are worth 1s 98b and they are sold for 2s, that means I can’t raise the price cause a whole bunch of them er already out there so the chance for me to sell mine is close to none.
Crafting also needs a fix, I spent a lot of time and money getting my weaponsmithing up only to find out in the end that the stuff I need to create the stuff I want are close to impossible to find and I can’t buy them cause the prices are way overboard, let’s say I want a Destroyer greatsword, I need 30 destroyer lodestones, now I can either find them but it’s a 0.03% chance for me to find it as loot, or I can buy it but they cost 1 gold each which means I need to pay 30 freakin gold to get ONE ingredient for the weapon I want.
I could do dungeons and earn tokens to buy exotic weapons with but how the hell am I supposed to do that when most of the dungeons are d*** near impossible and you barely get anything good, at times you spend more money fixing gear than you earn during that run.
Let’s take TA for example, you got a load of flowers letting out poison gas, fair enough, but hey you guys decided it would be fun to put in giant worms that can shoot poison globs that could cover an entire football field, you could kill it you might say, yeah if it weren’t for the fact that there are 2-3 other worms shooting globs at you and other enemies with hammers knocking you down constantly to make sure you are down long enough to get killed, and if that doesn’t work you got dogs the size of an angry mob jumping at you from all over.
So if you could stop nerfing things that actually work for us players and not do a single thing about the stuff that really cause problems in this game it would be great.

ANet can’t do much to fix the brains of the ones who ruin the economy, that I call the “smart ones” that set items on LT for +1 copper from the price offered by the…HIGHEST BUYER. If there is something dumber than this, I don’t even want to know. Where instead it is more than rightful to sell items for a couple coppers less than the lowest seller, if you want your item to be sold immediately and without risks, you accept the price of the highest buyer and be sure no one is going to “troll” you on price.

If the price of those materials was lower, those weapons would not be so rare and special. If you want a special weapon you have to be ready to wait for a long time to patiently get the materials or spend loads of gold.

As for TA…that is far from impossible to do. Might be hard the first times and without a strategy, but it is possible. You think that me and my friend made it in 2, when running path up only on our own.

Raging won’t fix your problems, sadly, not everything can be easy or the game would lack challenges, and cause even more people to rage even harder.

Coopziana: I’ve done CoF several times and all three paths, had nowhere near as hard a time to get through it as with TA…
Pip: I understand some weapons being harder to get, like legendary weapons or exotic, even though it’s not as hard, but when the droprate for something is already 0.03% which is pretty low but why remove the one place where you could get it without having to do dungeons, and with the RNG crap I could do 20 runs and still end up with nothing.

I have to say I didn’t get your words properly in the first time, I apologise. You are right about this, it was quite an unfair move to remove that place and it just gave advantage to Fractals runners…
Btw, if you have a lot of karma to spend, try with Orrian boxes, there you get a good chance to get different lodestones!

No problem
I just feel that the people who have nothing else to do but play this game are getting advantages, I mean sure they will have more karma and gold, get armor etc faster, but why make it so that only those who put several hours a day get rewarded while the rest who have school or jobs and possibly a wife and/or kid/s get punished by having a much harder time getting anywhere, while those players get one step forward in the game the others who spend hours have gotten 20 steps ahead…

Exotic weapons are not hard to obtain from dungeons, even for a casual player.

Destroyer weapons offer no advantage or steps forward from any other exotic weapon you can craft or buy from a dungeon.

If you want the Destroyer weapon for a style, that is tough luck unless you are prepared to put in the hours to farm the materials or earn the gold to buy them. I don’t see how not having this skin disadvantages you.

You want it, but you don’t need it to have it. Get another exotic that doesn’t require any time or effort.
