Crafting in general is a huge part of the game, some people like that, they like to farm mats and create armor and weapons on their own, but people like me that don’t craft because of various reasons, like doing it in every other MMO we have played, it was not something i wanted to get into with gw2, now that i have a level 80 that i play often, i find myself running into a problem, we got the parts to make a backpiece and it requires crafting to make parts of it or you have to buy it, this does not make sense, if you dont have crafting and you don’t have the gold to buy what you need, you are pretty much stuck to farming gold or farming mats. im not saying that it should be just handed to us, but its kind of annoying that i cant get these backpieces because my play style doesn’t revolve around crafting or farming mats.
