Why do you need to have Ascended gear at all? I haven’t got any Ascended gear on any of my characters and do absolutely fine. The only thing I can think of you’d need it for is Fractals, which is fairly self-contained (I don’t do Fractals though).

So why do people feel that they need them at all? Let alone for each aspect of the game?

Because ascended equipment gives you the slight edge over players with just exotics…

Except it doesn’t really give you any edge at all. The few points of extra stats aren’t even noticeable. Wearing exotics and fighting someone with ascended gear is no different to fighting someone with exotic gear.

Dueling would certainly make it a lot more fun while waiting for the zone bosses to spawn (eg. Claw of Jormag, Shatterer, etc.).

It would be awesome if male Asura could have facial hair, like Master Bronk from the character creation choices: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Biography_Bronk.png

Please consider giving the Asura some facial hair options!

Cheers.

Buying gold with real money is the least efficient way to get gold. Aside from that, you will end up very poor very soon if that’s what you choose to do.
The game is not ‘pay to win’, nor will it ever be.

Seriously…people overreact too freaking much.
