The word journey, kinda makes you think that the whole process will be all fun, a bit of grind and relatively enjoyable. Apparently Anet has a different meaning of ‘journey’. As all people waiting years to craft twilight and have not had the time to farm a lot, or whatever, when they heard all legendaries are going to have their precursor’s available to craft, I imagine it sparked a lot of discussion. Recently as people crafting twilight waited anxiously to get the bugged collection finally done (most recent patch before this forum post), i started on the collection part 2. This is where the bulls**t started… The whole point and discussion of the ‘journey’ in live streams and numerous times i have heard devs speak about this made me think that this hopefully wouldn’t be all grind, I can deal with grinding, but it gets to a point where for just 3 components in the tier 2 of the collection, you need at least 500-600 gold to complete it due to prices on the tp, and going around the world farming the mats would take way too long in the first place. Basically my point is if you’re going to promise people a freaking legendary ‘journey’, don’t make it sooooo expensive to even do it in the first place. My point here is that i know the devs said this is not the easiest way to get a precursor, it will take time. (i belive thats a direct quote from one dev a while back) But to make it this expensive is just ludicrous. I can tell posting this will bring on some people to hopefully agree with me, and those who will say, stop whining and get on with it, but i just want to report this as a complaint about that misuse of the very crucial term ‘JOURNEY’. (An act of travelling one place to another) Because last i checked, journey didnt mean mindlessly grind/spend your real world money to get these small components to slightly get you closer to what you want!
Yes this is a rant, and no i dont think anything will be done about it, im just expressing my opinion, as a player, a long term fan and a heavy supporter of this game, that if i knew this is how much cr*p tons of gold id have to sink in order to get this kitten component, i wouldnt have started this so called journey in the first place…
