Just because YOU don’t want to craft, and its hurting YOUR method of making money off the trade post does not mean it was a bad move and Anet’s part and its hurting the trade post.
I think ascended armor was a good move.
It gave reason to craft when previously there was very little, but not overbearing to the point where you MUST have ascended armor to do content.
It gave value to previously worthless mid level materials. Now new players can make gold even easier than before for their gear before ascended. You can even make a fair amount of gold just leveling another character.
Ascended armor/weapons gives you a reward reason to keep participating in different areas of the game for the account bound materials needed. Its a way of giving players that actually play the game something as apposed to just farming it strait up on a champ train and buying it with gold.
Anet has acknowledged that the price of cloth items are high in there CDI thread, the amount of gold required for this armor at this moment is monumentally high and is something that they plan to fix. That being said, you can take advantage of the situation by selling your cloth items before the price of them is brought down by increases in supply.
You get it, great post.
Ascended armor (and the weapons previously) were some of the best implementations ANet has made. It re-balanced much of the TP and economy that had gone nuts with inflation after the Scarlet invasion grind. There are still some things that need to be balanced (silk/gossamer), but as it stands it’s very easy for anyone, any level to make money and get great items by simply playing the game. Specifically:
1) You made about 3 entirely unrelated points under one number. The crafting system is basic and might not be for everyone, but it’s still complicated enough that many people still don’t attempt it. There has to be a middle ground to cater to most of the player base. For the “hardcore crafters” they can level those 2-3 professions to get their gear. Also, what better way to prepare someone for content than to get sweet gear? I didn’t attempt a dungeon until I was 80 with exotics and guess what? Sailed through it.
2) So how is making better gear cheaper and more available to the player base a bad thing again?
3) Have you even crafted anything ascended yet? It takes awhile to get the 200/500 empyreal fragments needed for a piece/weapon. Same with laurels if you’ve been buying stuff for multiple characters.
Looking for an invite, thanks!
Would like an invite if there are still spots, thanks!
Hello!
I’d like to start by saying this an incredible game, some of the best fun I’ve had gaming in years. I had a quick question about legendaries. I like that they’re a status symbol and simply offer a cosmetic badge for effort/play time rather than insane stats or anything else that would give a gameplay advantage. I only have about 250+ hrs in, but I am level 80 with 100% completion. I’m a warrior that uses a greatsword and a hammer. I would work towards a legendary except there are none that I like.
Therefore, is there anything in the works for more legendaries to be developed? Not just updating the current ones with better/different/more varied effects, but literally making some other ones. I’m a Nord with a barbaric slant, so I was thinking I huge rough-cut greatsword (like the Shaman’s Zweihander I currently use, only more beefy) or a hammer that’s literally a giant tree trunk would be awesome.
Anyway, for reading!
