Guild Wars 2

I kinda feel that the current view of Legendaries is a little skewed in terms of perspective. To me, if an item takes a hundred hours of pure work to achieve, I wouldn’t sit down and pour that time into the game without ensuring that I’m also enjoying myself in doing so. If I felt that need, I wouldn’t play, or I’d dilute the work by taking breaks or taking part in other things happening in the game. I’d rather spend two hundred hours on a one hundred hour goal if this route was more enjoyable.

In that sense, I’m not even considering the effort I’d need to go to in order to get a Legendary at the moment. I don’t need one to enjoy the game and encouraging that sort of mindset is kinda toxic – there are plenty of concerns around the forums that the community of MMOs has a tendency towards elitism. I’d suggest people just play the game and, if they’re in the position to get a Legendary before they’re satisfied with what they’ve gained from playing, then grab one. Or maybe put a few more (dozen?) hours into getting one if you really want one. But if the journey is too hard and unappealing, then perhaps the goal isn’t enough?

Thats the thing, that most people will argue. I’ve have a 1000 hours played and I have been working for my legendary every single day. And I still don’t have it. I refuse to use a credit card. Like most people do. lol. But I want to feel the time I spent into the game was worth all that trouble. Ever since release.. And I’m not going to leech materials off other players because that isn’t fair. With the fact that I did farm day in and day out. Repeating dungeons. Throwing things in the mystic forge.. I’ve really tried hard to get it. At this point I just given up on trying to get it. Since it seems to be not going any where. So I’m just going to have to wait.

Cos they want the farming to be so ridiculous you give in and just buy the stuff for gold, hopefully through the purchase of gems.

You understand most people… buy gold from gold sellers. To get the legendary. Its pretty sad.

I agree I feel like it takes so much effort, to get the materials. Then at one point you see one of the requirements of lodestones like for example charged lodestones. At that point I just give up. I run Arah Exp Everyday and the rewards I get is so laughable and not even worth it I don’t get a single material I need for my legendary. I feel like only way to get materials is using a credit card. Most people can’t do that. I’m not a casual player, I’m on here everyday working for my legendary. I feel like I’m just grinding constantly. Just for one item… If you made the materials through dungeon.. This would cancel the gold farmers and help people who are working for there legendary. I want to feel that my legendary is worth getting then just paying more money out of my pocket to get my legendary. I want to feel like I achieved it
