Guild Wars 2

WvW would become much more attractive. Some new gear is ridiculously expensive and/or hard to farm, forcing WvW players to do PvE. Triumphant Armor already has some selectable stats (core stats, not all, celestial is missing for example), but that’s not enough for everchanging meta. Latest reward tracks do provide gear with all stats, but that’s just 3 (headgear, shoulder and gloves) out of 16 pieces (armor, jewellery and weapons, not counting underwater gear).

Weapons from Verdant Brink, Auric Basin, Tangled Depths and Heart of Maguuma reward tracks could get selectable stats.

Vendor with ascended jewellery with selectable stats for Badges of Honor, just like in Bitterfrost Frontier, would also be a nice addition.

I like this idea and intended just to type “signed” but message body length must be 15. 15 what? I have no idea.

15 charrs. They must support your statement.

reward tracks are ridiculously easy to complete. if they agreed then they would have to change the crafting requirement for certain equipment so everything was equal. it also alienates ppl who spent a lot of time and money getting good gear.

All these great ideas….lost in the cave of the wvw forum.

Then add a currency, of which you get x at the end of a certain reward track, and then add a new vendor which exchanges that currency for armor with Triumphant Hero Armor skin. Two birds with one shot.

Separate new skins and exo with all selectable stats. So there wont be adding exo with full selectable stats, but skin + exo box with common skin and select stats. like backpacks in tp come with straps.

All i see here is a give me everything now scenerio. While i will give you the point there is no ascended armour/weapon option like spvp and fractals, they do give you an acceptable amount of HoT stat selectable gear. The trick is to keep the LS3 tracks running and build up their currencies. I have 6 sets of accessories/rings/back/amulet just by doing this, with very minimal time in the pve zone (achievements then gone). I often try to keep a nest egg of those currencies in case of meta change.

Remember that you are not farming this gear, its just from you playing the way you wish, so it should be slower than a direct grind in the PVE zone. By switching between tracks, you can get some of the exotics you will need no problem, leaving you with very few slots that you need to fill out. You often dont need full HoT stats, since you cap out your +duration with food, so it makes a full set even easier.

So a TL;DR bite the bullet and craft the pieces you are missing. No one is forcing you to run every slot with HoT stats and nor should it be a free ride to completely gear yourself. As in most MMOs, trying to do things fast will cost you, and wvw gear should be no different.
