Guild Wars 2

Having reached level 80, I have been looking for armor sets with good skins that also have the stats I desire – that being Power, Toughness, and Vitality. I absolutely love the invaders armor skin, and the stats are exactly what I want; however, the price in badges is absolutely ridiculous, when compared to other L80 armor sets in the game. It could conceivably take a week+ per piece to achieve the full armor set, not including accessories, rings, amulet, and two weapons. That is totally out of whack when you compare the effort to PvE sets. They dont even have runes either =/. Arenanet, you advertised this game as completely removing the grind so players could enjoy content. Why do you have a massive grind for invaders gear?

I would like to suggest to Arenanet to take a look at the Invaders L80 Exotic sets, and please, please reduce the cost of the items, or increase the drop rates of badges. I pvp’d all day today in WvW, and got 50ish badges(I have to work, cant do that everyday). Only about 1:3 kills actually dropped a badge. If I do 51% of the damage to a player, I should be awarded a badge…I hate winning a 1v2 or 1v3 and not getting a single badge.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you consider the change =)

Its actually not ridiculous at all. I thought so too when i first saw them, but I use my badges to buy tons of siege equipment and I’ve already bought a piece of the gear for 330 badges and currently have over 400 of them in my bags right now. I haven’t used coin for siege in a while to give you an idea of just how many badges I go through and still have that many saved up, and I always make sure I have at least 1x ballista, 2x rams, 2x arrow carts, 1x treb. The badges come quick if you’re getting into big fights.

what sucks is when you play guardian so you get NO freaking badges.

edit: 908 WvW kills but because of lack of damage/ supporting i don’t even have 200 badges. plus a guardian can’t kill anything from range.

If u are a guardian you should always be standing next to a siege weapon.
I rack up plenty of badges that way.

that would mean i have to hang around at a tower with an arrow cart and hope someone will attack it? not really my style. i like smashing other people’s gates and charge through the enemy army.

AOE classes have an unfair advantage getting badges, making it easier for them to farm.

I would love to see WvW exotics with different stats and why is the only way to get rabid (thoughness/condition/crit) gear over a karma vendor in orr???

Totally agree, they need to add different stat sets… I mean only one set of stat gear is kind of lame.

you can get gear with all other stat combinations from other sources, vit/toughness gear is only from WvW
