Guild Wars 2

Anet advertised that you could get top gear in this game in any number of ways and essentially based on what you liked to do in the game. Be it running dungeons, PVE events, crafting, or WvW.

Yet the gear selection for WvW is incredibly limited with every piece having Power/Vitality/Toughness.

I do not want any of this stuff. I play a Necro that wants condition damage gear. Why should the WvW gear only cater to certain classes/builds?

Now I realize that the you can take karma from WvW into PVE vendors and spend it there. It still requires you often to do long PVE chains to unlock them – often there isn’t enough people to do them – when you might rather be playing World vs World.

Then the specific WvW reward that drops, Badges, are no better. All the weapons and armor bought with badges also have…. Power/Vitality/Toughness.

It seems like the rewards in this mode are getting short shrift compared with crafting and dungeons, which offer much more variety. Including down to the looks. In WvW I don’t think the look of the armor sets changed at any level interval between 1-79. Only at 80, did the exotic set have a new look, and you only get one choice.
