No more ascended for WvW
NO!

I don’t mind ascended gear.
Meh – the stats are hardly different. Considering the grind-cost, it just isn’t worth worrying about it.
If it gives people something to do apart from WvW, I say let them do it.
Thanks to laurels, Ascended trinkets are basically welfare gear. I cannot fathom how someone can’t see that. You can get dailies with an hour playtime, especially WvW is fast. The only limit is a timegate to keep everyone roughly on the same level.
You have to be an extremely infrequent player that they take you long. If so you have basically no right to be expect to be equally geared as someone who invests as a reasonable amount of time in a non-competitive format.
And even then, you’re looking at a 9% advantage in stats. That is, once Asc armors and weps get released. Right now we have only trinkets. So all in all a player with full Ascended gear gets a meager 4% advantage over someone in full exos.
OP, we can conclude you’re blaming that you get beaten by random players on Ascended gear. That’s just silly.
The ascended gear isnt the problem, WvW has ALOT but Gear isnt one of them. Class balancing is out of whack, Siege is crazy, zerg blobs, lag, Low pop Vs high pop servers these are all issues that need to be addressed, the gear unless you are wearing all white gear you wont see that much of a difference when upgrading.
I do agree to some extent, but this game is 90% player skill and 10% profession / build, so I wouldn’t really care to get the Ascended gear. What I agree on is that Ascended gear is for the PvE players, not the one fighting a war in WvW ;p
