Yep, logged on for 5 minutes last night then logged off again and played Skyrim instead.
Infractions are warranted, especially here and now. I have received one myself.
jboynton,
I expect more gear to come out in the future. I expect gear to get better because ultimately, how boring would it be to have the same gear stats, just different skins, even three months from now.
Let’s be open-minded.
Worked for 7 years in GW1 without becoming boring.
Fashion Wars! Everybody was a unique snowflake, except when they found it “too hazardous to be himself and far easier and safer to be like the others, to become a copy, a number, a mass man.”
I fail to see how quoting Kierkegaard makes my point any less true. People were perfectly content to chase after aesthetic improvements throughout the game’s existence. There’s plenty of other games out there for people who feel the compulsion to have constantly shifting tiers of gear to work towards.
Even if I’m wrong and this would in some way benefit the game it seems from the feedback arising here that the majority likely don’t want this. Hell, let’s not even get into how, if this goes through, we’ve been blatantly lied to. I see how you can be “ok” with this to the point where you’ll deal with it and move on, but I really can’t fathom how anyone could think that the developers lying to us is a “good” thing.
Oh no, I didn’t say you were wrong. I was just poking at how cool it was to be decked out in Chaos Gloves, bandanas, and black dye.
Ah, my bad. Well yes, there were certain “looks” that you saw everywhere after a while. I think there’s more variety in GW2 what with all the cultural armors and whatnot, but maybe after a while we’ll just see everybody decked out in cultural t3 and nothing else.
(Irrespective, I’d rather play Fashion Wars 2 than World of Guildcraft any day of the week, even if we all eventually sacrifice our unique snowflakedom for the safe homogeneity of black dyes and cultural t3).

I got infracted for defending ANet and for saying it was nice knowing someone about to leave. Wow
On a side note: If ANet completely turned around and said “We were wrong, we’re not going to introduce this” it would completely make them look weak and like they have no conviction to what they’re doing.
To be honest it’d still look better than them violating the core principle of their game, something that sold it to many people.

One other thing, eventually when full ascended armor is introduced it will make exotic dungeon/crafted armor obsolete, this is a big concern. Maybe when they add full ascended armor gear they should also rework all dungeons to include agony mechanics.
So that we have even MORE gated content? No thanks!
Can’t say I’m too impressed with this. GW1 managed fine for 7+ years without adding in any new tiers of gear. After the devs explicitly stated that there wouldn’t be a treadmill this feels like a bit of a slap to the face, especially to people who don’t have masses of time to play and have spent real money on gems → gold to gear up their characters in exotics on the premise that they’d last them indefinitely.
Thanks for the info Jeffrey. I guess it’s probably safe to assume that the big update will be the one hitting at the end of next week, looking forward to being able to finish my personal story :}
