“How come we should grind to have bad skins and worthless stats…”… if you don’t want it, don’t grind for it. Simple. No one is saying you “should”. Its not for every player, ascended gear should not be a requirement to competitive play.
Better skins I COMPLETELY agree with, but the stats should NOT be far superior. Guild Wars is built on a system where casual gamers can compete with hardcore gamers (besides skill gap).
Ascended gear being “way better [than] the last level gear” stat-wise would make casual players in exotic gear, without means to get ascended gear, obsolete. LFG’s would read “pst gear, ascended only” etc. This would ruin Guild Wars 2 for many players.
In short, visually superior is a great idea, statistically superior a terrible one.
My 2 cents, I think it is quite reasonable, but I appreciate your view.
Medium Ascended Boots dye scheme does not match at ALL with the rest of the armor. Color shading is way off, boots look like Heavy armor, and there is no dye-able pattern like the rest of the armor.
Please make a dye-able pattern on the boots to match the chest/legs. Its ascended gear, it should look like it.
