Guild Wars 2

The laurel vendors in the borderlands appear to be bugged. While they are charging laurels+badges of honor for the necklace, ring, and infusions tab, the accessories tab is still charging laurels+globs of ectoplasm. Please correct, thank you

That is not a bug but working as intended.

It either you get them that way or via guild commendations (doing guild missions). Again working as intended.

As ColinJohanson said, “with [the] new WvW rank reward chests you’re going to be getting a lot more Ecto!” Oh wait…

Yes it’s a known bug.

Before patch:
> zero ecto
After patch:
> some ecto

By mathematics, the change has led to me acquiring infinity percent more ecto.

apparently this is bugged. you were only supposed to get “a lot” more ecto. infinity is far too big an increase. sounds like ArenaNet needs to reduce the drop rate slightly.

Unfortunately for ArenaNet. They cant nerf infinity. Well maybe they can, but they need to break the universe first.

W.A.I.

In the words of the WvW Dev, WvW-only ways of getting Ascendeds “devalue” the effort PvE’ers make to get their gear (woops, I mean grind).

Again, this is why ectos are so rare in WXP chests, got to keep the PvE punters happy, or they’ll QQ.

Until WvW gets its own WvW-only gear, WvW gear acquisition will always be tied to the PvE gear treadmill.
