And what about WvW players? And crafters? Are they forced to go into this instance to get this items and ascended gear?
Great! No time to defend this castle. Have to go into the new instance to get competitive gear und this new bags (20 slot!!!). Wonderful. Armorsmith 400, usless, …now!
A friend of mine plays Allods (super gear treadmill). He told me that they have a similar system.
And again, what happend? OMG.
“Here’s what we believe: If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game. Otherwise, your MMO becomes all about grinding to get the best gear. We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.”

Fun impacts loot collection. The rarest items in the game are not more powerful than other items, so you don’t need them to be the best. The rarest items have unique looks to help your character feel that sense of accomplishment, but it’s not required to play the game. We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional, so those who find it fun to chase this prestigious gear can do so, but those who don’t are just as powerful and get to have fun too.”

What happend? Countless people play GW2 because they believed in ANet und GW2.
This not the case anymore. That’s what has happened.
good thoughts on this topic:
or any other any MMO, like Aion, Allods, ROM and so on…
I hate ascended items. Do NOT force WvW players into dungeons!
Only way i could accept that, if WvW players and crafters can get the same items through playing WvW or crafting…
I do not want to be forced to go into dungeons.
