They did tell us from the very beginning that there would be “pink” items. It’s just now that they’ve actually given them a name.

No they didnt. I don’t believe that one second. Link please.

Everything links to the new changes. I can’t find anything else. I could be mistaken but I could’ve sworn there was another color that just wasn’t used in the game.

There was purple, back in the BWEs. It was used for transmuted items. But now transmuted items simply have the color of the item that the stats came from.

Now more to the point.
Nothing before release indicated that there would be a tier of gear above exotic, everything indicated that max stats would be easy to reach (although it’d still be a bit harder than in GW1).
This game has always been advertised as a horizontal progression game, and that’s why I bought it. If for any reason anyone bought this game expecting or wanting vertical progression, well, too bad, this game was not made for you! You could have played any of those “every other MMO out there” and gotten what you wanted, but no, you had to come and ruin this game instead.
Although obviously not all blame can be put on the players. ArenaNet (or whoever made this decision, probably Nexon) could have simply ignored them.

I think I’m just gonna quit playing MMOs now. Or maybe play GW1. I dunno, I’ll see.
