Guild Wars 2

I want to make a request to the WvW developers, with respect to legendary weapon recipes. Will you please make the “Gift of Exploration” drop somewhere in WvW, or at least make it easier to get in comparison to the “Gift of Battle”? It’s not fair that we have to slug through all those maps doing all those boring heart quests, jumping puzzles, and vistas, when PVE people can just get 20 levels in WvW to get “Gift of Battle.” At least, that is what I had heard it was. Alternatively, give us 6 or 8 or even 10 of them for map completion, instead of 2, as that would be more comparable to what is required of PVE people to get “Gift of Battle.” Doing that map completion was probably the most boring thing I’ve ever done in my life in a game – for real, I almost fell asleep at times trying to slog through it all. Just the thought of facing it again on another character is depressing the heck out of me! ;D I am seriously begging you, here.

Your choice to suffer for fancy pixels.

At least you can complete all the hero points in WvW so only the hearts, vistas and PoI left….

Legendary weapons are something you have to work for. If you want them then work for them, they shouldn’t be handed out to people just because they don’t want to do the work required to get them. If you really hate PvE that much then get the gold and buy the weapons from the TP.

That’s funny because I remember a time when pve players had to get wvw map completion as part of their work for a legendary….

Have you ever thougth about buying the legendary on the tp?
This has always been an option.

not for the new ones……

This is a really pathetic attempt to validate your laziness. Legendaries are just skins anyhow and require all game modes to complete if you do not count buying tokens off of the trading post. Including the new hot ones.

So get off your k train and go kill things. I get that many of the WvW players are really salty but this is a new level of ridiculous.

I fail to see how that is relevant, in fact it supports my argument. WvW map completion being required forced players to participate in WvW (or wait for possibly months on end if you kept getting the same 2 colors for the matches) in order to get all of those vistas and POI. That forced players to do different game modes, which is exactly what OP is complaining about now. He wants to not have to do PvE in order to get legendary weapons

Can we please get a “gift of exploration” reward track?

LOL Legendaries do NOT require all game modes to complete. That just shows your ignorance.

lmao, its open world pve. Just do it once on your main and you have enough to make 2 legendaries.

On top of that pretty skin, you also get a pretty gold star for your special snowflake status.

Yeah I did it once, I just don’t want to do it again… I have 8 characters with full elites.

So it’s okay for WvW players to be forced into PvE but not vice versa?
okay.

No, it’s not. I fully support a Gift of Exploration reward track, so WvW players can actually enjoy getting it. And I would like a Gift of Battle recipe for the Mystic Forge, like all the other gift recipes there are, so PvE players can also enjoy getting it. Sounds to me like a solution that would leave a lot more people happy, for a variety of reasons. Sadly ANet didn’t think of this.

PVE players are extremely entitled nothing new here. However, it’s better for us to be forced into pve than the other way around. At least this way, they won’t be stinking up wvw or spvp. If we give them what they want, maybe they will stay out of our game mode permanently.

PvE players are just as entitled as WvW players. The latter complain about having to do PvE world completion. The first complain about having to do a WvW reward track. Both groups feel they deserve alternatives that don’t “force” them into other game modes they do not prefer. Neither complaint gets offered a solution so the problem stands. I really don’t see the difference here.

If you mean, PvE players always get what they want, then you’re wrong too. We get negatively impacted by a lot of PvP balancing, to name one example. The nerf to dungeon rewards is another example.

Truth is, PvE is the core of the game, whether you like it or not. The main focus will always be on that part, because without PvE there would be no GW 2. That doesn’t mean the additional 2 game modes should be left by the wayside. But they will never be the main focus of this game’s development.

ell in the last threads i saw mostly wvwrers saying :ha, your dumb luck, we have to suffer while enough pvers like the guy here or myself(and i read from a few others) will gladly advocate for a way for wvwers to get the stuff they want without having to slog through map completion n stuff.

so, who is entitled? The person who wants everybody else to eel miserable or to just eff up or the one who doesnt want anyone to feel miserable, would love a solution not only for themselves but for others (but still wont act as if stuff that isnt fun now is magically fun because one is forced to suffer through it and when suffer, than with a grin? )
