If you don’t like doing Fractals why do you want Ascended gear at all, let alone on every single character?
The additional stats are not enough to make a real difference in anything else so the only real benefit is the Agony resistance. And if you don’t like Fractals you’re not likely to be doing it enough to need Agony resistance.
Because in WvW it makes a huge difference and you cant get that anywhere but that dungeon or grinding monthlies to get the amulet fast.
There isnt much of a difference between blue and orange gear so why do you wear exotic? or any armour for that matter you dont need it.
Killing creative builds and ability to obtain bis gear for different builds and situations doesnt lead to stagnation.
1 char and 1 build all the time is stagnation. That is a hint for Mike O
It makes me so sad to say this but currently Guild Wars 2 has the worst PVE in the history of MMO’s.
What’s the second worse MMO PvE wise?
GW2 first and Tor second since those are the only 2 I have played.
Yes the did implement it and paid a very high price for doing so. Player population and revenue stream.
There would have been more people playing had the done proper HP instead of cheap VP.
They may have sold a lot of copies but how many did they retain and play on a regular basis? Not a lot dismal actually. I mean about the same Bioware TOR had when F2P launched a little while ago.
Had they stuck with proper HP and explained why they would have a greater population and more persistent revenue stream.
The backlash over ascend has been on par with SWG and fansites are constantly hit with negative posts from fanhate.
But instead they threw the people who help support and launch this game under the bus the first chance they got.
So had they kept HP there would be larger consistent player population, the locusts and +1 grindaholics would have left yes, but there would be a happier population buying gems and Anets reputation would have been in tact.
I would prefer that they not be upgradeable at all.
You bought the legendary off the TP just buy another one.
Or grind another one.
What is the issue?
WvW is done and finished they just stuck a fork in it. Culling has now gone into PVE.
The only thing to look forward to in a few days is the guild mechanic that gives u a reason to be in a guild.
Expansion size/like content is kinda a joke like the living story. updated 1 a month in small increments and bugged to hell and back.
You are still pushing off your own, personal opinions as being " ANet’s view of GW1’ based on one quote that was more to the order of “not being able to handle all we wanted to do” vs “stagnant”
I didn’t say my interpretation of ANet’s words are correct or the only one. I welcome anyone to interpret their actions and words in their own way, because that’s all we can go by.
State your opinions. Stop trying to validate them as ANet views or positions, because they are yours.
Again, these aren’t my opinions, but what I think ANet means. My interpretations may be wrong, yes. I’m voiced my opinion as my interpretation of what the devs say and how I think the number of customers/players disliking vertical progression is not high enough to keep a large MMO like GW2 alive. I didn’t say my opinions where ANets way of thinking, thank you very much.
And, I discovered and ended up in GW1 to escape progression, tiers, gating, all of those good things you maintain we all want. The sole reason I bought GW2 was the assumption, and their Design Manifesto, that indicated traditional MMO was not where they were going.
I didn’t say it’s what you all want, but what I discovered the majority wants after I started researching when the Lost Shores Patch hit. I never attacked you or people like you for being angry about how ANet choose to not take over the traits you mentioned from its predecessor. All I said with regards to players is my opinion that the horizontal progression crowd is too small to financially support a game like GW2.
Totally disagree – it was them that supported and launched the game. They would have made Anet even more money had they decided to go that route. They would have supported Anet by a multiple of what they get now.
Had they took the stand and told them HP is the way to go here is why give x amount of time to prove it things would have been tremendous.
But they threw everyone who supported them under the bus in an attempt to woo the wowers. It failed horribly – they lost the supports and the VP people all at once.
In fact I say adding ascend gear VP cost Anet a significant and persistent amount of revenue.
They amount of players this game has lost over Nov 15 + and what not is almost identical for what Biowares TOR was at just before it went F2P. The only reason this game hasnt collapsed is simply the production costs and ROE isnt as high at ea was with bioware/tor.
But you can see how bad things are getting with the drive in the gem shop to force people to buy gems.
Now they have Bioware level hatefans all over the web posting on fan sites and no amount of backroom deals can get them to delete the posts fast enough. SWG level of hate.
The mismanagement and direction/vision of the game has been lacking and it shows.
They need someone to step up and set up a real vision and accountability and communication with the remaining players in order for the game to succeed.
Fractals are not GW2, they are one part of it. If you don’t like it you don’t have to do it.
Except you dont get the best gear and get left out of the loop and are not at peak in WvW or even mob tagging in PVE.
And before you jump the next one let me say this,
You dont need armour but have it on why? You can WvW and PvE naked especially dungeons they are a face roll. Advantage right.
If I was able to get ascend gear outside of the grind of dungeons or daily/monthlies then I would nt care but I cant. I must grind out that or not get geared.
This is 100% a treadmill replacing my exotics with ascend then whatever next they come out with then we get expansion and level cap raise. Guess what after that? I doubt they will stop at just 2 new tiers after all the point was to have VP and you cant stop that treadmill cause we all know what happens then.

Robert Hrouda.1327:
Each new piece of AR gear is meant to allow you to progress to further fractal levels, which have increasingly better rewards compounding with higher scaling difficulty.
This is the statement.
I ever since was a defender that gw2 is not that kind of game, since fractals were released I told ppl that it’s not since you don’t need any ar to get to lvl 80 (I’m there so don’t argue about that if it’s possible or not ) But after the update the game changed to what the dev stated now. I really think this is a bad direction the game takes and I’m as a former gw1 fan dissapointed and afraid that it goes in this direction.
I don’t need to care I have the cap for the next year + nothing left to do for me there. But I care in generally that this is the bad direction the game takes. So I hope I find supporters that are gonna make the dev rethink their new system.
thanks for your oppingons
How many times has Anet told you people that you will not get another tier of gear aside the ascended gear? Do they have to continue til they are blue in the face to get it through that thick head of yours that The ascendant gear is the only tier you will get? Just because they are giving you the gear piece by piece doesn’t make it a gear grinding game. If they add another tier of armor then you can legitimately call it a gear grinding game. In the future do more research on what gear grinding really is.. Wow has that down perfectly… I’m not talking about piece by piece.. I’m talking about full sets to the next full set….. ect..
Um NO and No and NO Again.
They said there isnt anything planned in the imminent future – far far different from no more new gear. Lol go back and read the ama. There will be more tiers to come right after ascend is finished. That is their model and the VP Plan.
The fist now second step to the treadmill has started get running or walking cause it aint going to stop. No Way No How – that is the plan. More gear with hire stats. Then after that comes the expansion with level cap raise and guess what?
More New Gear Tiers
More for the VP to chase and grind behind agony and whatever type of gated content they want to put in.

Have not and will not step in fractals nor shall I equip ascend gear. The grind and what they stand for is what I am against.
Dungeons are a very important part of a mmorpg. If you do not like dungeons, you do not like mmorpg’s
ArenaNet does not force you to do dungeons.
Where are the BIS items? Dungeons right – forced.
Get BIS amulet fast – Monthly by dungeon – Forced.
To be at peak performance it is dungeon grind and forced content.
You dont need armour so why wear it?
Make the dungeon fun and I will – I liked Tors and hate these.
I would really like to see how many they actually sell – 3 mill gw2 sold and the retention rate is so so poor and so few playing now.
It would be very interesting to see the stats. There is no way I would ever give Anet another dime of my money and i know there are lots out there like me.
cheap ectos and a crashed economy for a few days. I love it please do it.
cant you sell them of a few silver?
Pres will be over 1k in a week or so I suggest getting them now cause they are hot and selling like hot cakes.

Not until they fix the way to get a precursor will I waste my time with this endeavor what so ever.
I have never gotten anything from a dragon chest ever and stopped doing them a long time ago. Did one the other day and got blues – didnt even cover the cost of the waypoint there and walked back to Orr.
Stop killing your players and remove DR – right forgot make them buy gems – after all happy players dont buy squat right- grumpy kitteny poor players do!
Yup Dungeon grinding gated content game.
Treadmill is alive and well.
It is just another clone and does nothing unique and so on to the next game.
Maybe just maybe they wont lie to people in the prelaunch about their intentions with the game to get money from them.
And another Dev goes on the banned list to not buy from.
Thanks for playing see you next time.
PS they stated this in Nov 15 so really is nothing new. I have the same opinion then as I do now.
Now is the time for the fanboi rally – Tally ho all
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
It’s different people.
Proof or I call shens.
Just cause your name has a logo on it doesnt mean anything. You carry the same burden of proof as the rest of the world.
No I dont believe anything Anet says and want proof before I believe anything you say.
Dont buy the precursors and the price will plummet. In fact dont go for a legendary and be much happier. It is all a lie – hope that helps ya.
Ask him to have his friends lower the price maybe that will help.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
You dont need armour it is optional but you put it on why? Stop with stupid straw man arguments.
Of course it is mandatory it is the only way to get your ascend amulet.
3 months in a row for the monthly is bad dev.
being forced to grind for bis gear was not what this game was to be about. oh well.
And I havent finished my last quest guess why – Dungeon. Stop putting the BIS items in dungeons and forcing people to grind it.
Reward me by playing my way. No it isnt the way you want in dungeons to bad anet I dont enjoy it so please stop it.
I like Tors stuff but GW2 is just awful and unfun so stop forcing it on me I dont like it and 3 months in a row is enough already.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
They dont care they are far more interested in pushing back content and making new things than fixing what they have done. Seems that is the way it is.
I have no plans to buy one ever.
Meh- WvW got cancelled and pushed back for a few more months and this doesnt look even close to expansion like content.
Seems some people are fibbing again.
Yes the cake is a lie and I cant eat it.
And now you players fighting each other WvW/PvE/SpvP GG
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
No it is much worse. WvW and now PVE suffer from culling. Ascend gear is the new BIS gear and the grind is merciless. Korea called and want the grind back – Anet said no we have it all.
The high end economy is manipulated by a few people.
PVP is dead. I really mean dead outside 7-11pm you cant even get a tourny or match dead.
The bugs are still there and plenty and all new content is horrific and usually exploited to a high degree.
Balance is just crap – really bad. Dungeon runs now ask for certain classes because of it ect.
I would say wait another month or two and see if the new content is anything to go by. But I doubt it will be good all the stuff they added has been crap to me at least.
The bugs in the new stuff has people asking for a test server that bad.
wait
that is it. just wait and hope for more – do I expect it? No this is Anet they cant do anything right and what they do is full of bugs and exploits.
Agree with op—-so far I haven’t seen much that actually improved the game for me.
Anet lost sight of their vision for the game a long time ago.
100% agree they lost their way and in a bad way. It has been reflected in game and on the forums. Not only here but on fan/game sites and how bad a rep anet has elsewhere.
Nothing they have done has improved anything for me and I really wish they would revisit what got the to the dance. Far too late I know but it couldnt hurt.
working as intended. Anet loves warriors and they are the most OP and unbalanced class in game. I dont blame people for asking that only certain people apply.
Blame Anet and their crap management and balance of the game.
PS
Please ban thieves from dungeons and make the monthly never include dungeons.
thankyou.
too many of them. Only a handful of people left after the ban would go out. That is why they cant crack down on any real mechanic exploit. They only do a handful of meaning less bannings now and again to prove they are tough on crime.
They have pushed and pushed and pushed to make this a dungeon crawler game with the best loot and gear so enforcing the game mechanic now would be catastrophic to the population of the game. So they cant – they are playing the way ANet wants them too albiet in a non conformity way. (cheating game mechanics and intentions but doing dungeons like Anet wants)
there isnt any point and I think all thieves should be banned from doing dungeons.
Please make monthlies for thieves that dont include Dungeons as a part of above. 3 months in a row is ridiculous that forced dungeon runs or be left behind without ascend gear is enough.
It take a lot longer to do a run of Arah compared to others. Dont forget also that for a significant amount of time Araha isnt open either and that point had been contested so that is another issue as well.
Crybabies.
Im a casualplayer, got a full time job and so far i got TWO precursors.
Learn how to get em and then start crying if u still fail, im pretty sure many of u arent even trying to get one and just farming money to buy them.
My first precurs i got from EB jumping puzzle chest. Venom (Trident) BUH. :C
My second one i got from Mystic forge, i threw in around 500 1handed swords to get my zap but the thing is i ended up with MORE money then i started with.
I doubt i was superlucky cus my guildleader got one after like 600 weaps too.
FYI i started with 40G and ended up with 105G and a Zap worth 250G.
L2P.
Please enlighten me as how to play RNG. what of my 5 skills that I have or my elite skills that I have will enable me be beat this creature.
You cant kill what you cant see – you cant see RNG but is does kill you.
Basically you got luck so it is other peoples faults for not getting lucky – seems like someone really needs to get lucky in a bad way and it aint me.
When you actually grasp the game and have learned to play it please come back and have a discussion about RNG and VP vs HP and economy.
Till then please stop posting.
and no i dont believe you making money from the toilet.
we will get an expansion before they fix this- they just dont have a clue what they are doing since nov 15.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
Dont give in and dont do it. That is the only way to stop it.
DO NOT GET A LEGENDARY.
when that stops you will see them scramble that is the only pressure that will work.
For me there is enough but I want anet to stop pushing ascend and dungeons. That is they have done for 3 full months with the monthlies and fractals and dungeons.
Maybe add a little new content but stop pushing things people dont like.
The ascend gear was to add a stickiness to their endgame and it failed badly. So I really hope they decide to go in the HP direction and work more with guild activities and a more formal setting within that dynamic. (large group)
I have sold a few things worth a lot less but that is inflation and dont kitten.
If you do tend to leave for a period of time put ur gold into gems and convert back when you return to the game.
*if it is for a few months it should help and hold against inflation of the gold while gone.
But not short term Anet takes a chunk to and fro.
After 800 hrs of playing I did get an exotic drop. kitten I was happy it was a really cheap precursor and couldnt use it but for my one and only ever drop it was nice.
So I listed it like I would and then realized what it was and pulled it off and relisted it lol. ate the listing fee twice stupid thing I did.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
Maybe just maybe people are sick and tired to do more dungeons like they have the last 3 months in a row.
Did you ever think that people dont like Dungeons? and that ANET is constantly promoting this a dungeon grinding game where it is the only way to get the best gear and now the fast way with laurels have had enough of it?
Ya I am so entitled that I want it all give me my legendary now and all that gold and everything else. kitten idiots – it was marketed as play your way – NO play their way in the dungeon or dont get loot or gear.
Clean your ears and eyes and and use critical thinking for once instead of accepting everything you are told.
3 months in a row where I dont finish my monthly cause of forced dungeons is bad programing and developing plain and simple.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
I’d love to see that quote as if they had said that then I’d be out of the forums and into the game in a heartbeat. Please post the link to this statement by Anet.
Ahh, it would seem my memory of the quote was definitely incorrect. They stated there would be no new tiers at this time. This does changes things, slightly. Though I still feel we need more information before crying that the sky is falling. Is this a new tier every year? Every two?
Lol Hate to kill it but there will be many tiers after ascend. Chris W and Colin J both stated that into the future you can never tell. – I take that as many more tiers.
And yes I agree HP should have been the focus all the way.And no it wasnt added late/start of game. Do you believe everything they tell you? It was a direct response to the crowd of we have nothing to do. That is why is slapped together so fast without thinking through the implications.
If that were true things would look a lot different not to mention all those fan sites would mention the possibility of ascend and infusion ect. It was a last min decision and a greedy money grab to keep people around and playing over those who wanted what they originally promised. It backfired anet lost those they tried to keep – lost those who originally purchased it under the promise and poisoned the well.
That’s fine if you take it that way, but that’s jumping the gun. Saying new tiers does not mean we’ll have a new tier every month.
Do I take the word of the devs more than the cries of an angsty forum group? Yes. I know people like to think game devs are big evil lying money grubbing monsters out to ruin your game (though arguably it’s theirs). Maybe, just maybe, they aren’t lying. I know…it’s a crazy thought. I’m not going to say they handled Ascended well because they truly didn’t. It should never have been released so incomplete. I am curious how they lied to those who bought the game? As it is, there is no gear treadmill. There is no grinding. Regardless of how much people like to think there is. I don’t know if this will change in the future (unfortunately I lack the ability to see into the future).
I understand your point.
I however believed the things they said 8 months prior to launch and all the good things they did like naming Rall.
However they so eagerly threw the design philosophy under the bus so easily and consecutive changes to the game I have lost all faith in them and most of their decisions have been on the bioware side of decision making. I dont believe them nor do I believe what they say anymore. I also think all decision are led by one factor and that is money above all else – even to the point that they would rather loose player and refund people than make the game enjoyable for some players.
Just how I see it is all. It all started Nov 15.
another grind to get gated ascend gear.
Great job keep it up. Cant wait for the next set of gear so much fun.
Dont do them and get left behind cause you wont have the ascend amulet right?
Mandatory grind.
Ascended gear was never an issue for me, per se, and the stat increase from the initially released pieces don’t mandate that I get them to be able to play the game on a par with other players that have them. But, they are simply the initial pieces. Vertical progression doesn’t progress by stopping. It gives players a sense of progression by progressing. That’s why you choose to add it to a game. And it progresses by periodically raising the power level of the game. This is what causes it to seem grindy; you know you must grind to keep up with the increasing power level of the game.
Arguing from the stat inflation of the initial Ascended items doesn’t really engage with grind issue that comes with vertical progression. I do find the argument that they are insignificant amusing though. It’s the first time I’ve seen the defense of a new game element based on its insignificance.
If you enjoyed the content of the game before the announcement of vertical progression, and you admit that the current status of the game does not mean that you are required to gain the items you associate with vertical progression to play on par with other players, I don’t fully appreciate the loss of faith in the design team. If they constructed an enjoyable game, there’s a substantial chance that they will be able to implement vertical progression in a baseline enjoyable manner regardless of our current associations with the term. And if they add new gear without making it mandatory, then both of us can continue playing (provided that you still do?) without it effecting us severely, as can others who feel the same.
I’m fine with logical arguments against vertical progression. I’m less comfortable with it being treated as a fall guy for developer decisions that simply don’t support what people personally find to be interesting in a game, on a purely subjective level, or that is used to give weight to people’s fears of the unknown.
And I never said that the Ascended gear stat bonuses were insignificant, though it could be argued that I said they’re insignificant to me. That remains true. As I’ve said, I’m more than comfortable for people to have a different opinion provided that they respect the relative significance of my own.
Let me ask you a question. If they kept adding gear with a higher power level than the power level of the current gear, would there come a point where you would feel it was mandatory to acquire the new gear?
Except Anet stated this was the last tier. So there is no if. I will humor you though (even if the question was not directed at me), and say the point where it would be mandatory is when you can’t do content because of gear. Not having ascended does not impede your ability to do the content, so I have zero issue with it.
I’d love to see that quote as if they had said that then I’d be out of the forums and into the game in a heartbeat. Please post the link to this statement by Anet.

There’s no required grind in guild wars 2.
I wish I had what you are taking cause it looks fantastic. Probably the same things the game devs are taking as well.
Denial and subterfuge will not change the fact that there is mandatory gear grind in this game. And it aint even and easy grind it is in fact a hard melicous and not needed.
I also dont believe anything they say especially after Nov 15 and how fast they changed.
They dont seem to be experimenting anything – they seem to be hod podging and slapping things together under the guise of making things better all the while not having a clue/direction at what they are doing.
The one think I do think they understand is that they need to keep players poor and force them to buy gems. It seems that is their strategy and the play your way stuff is marketing.
It is easy to see how off putting this whole thing has been and lack of direction especially HP. The pop has crashed worse than bioware and everything anet says now is second guessed.
I really hope the right the ship but from the track record I doubt it very much and the fact that ESO is still a huge topic in my guild says it all.
It all changed Nov 15th. They have lost the majority of the population and continue in that direction.
I really wish that they did come out and say suck it this is how it is. But I doubt it. They will continue to slowly mold and progress into the full VP game they want.
Locking you into 1 build is stagnant death. That is a hint for someone special.
The laurel of the story is:
Do your daily/monthly or you get no gear.
BIS gear gated by content again very poor mechanic.
Acquiring a precursor through the MF is already insane grinding unless you are very lucky. I mean where do you get all those rares to throw in? Either from running dungeons for exotics(which are anywhere from 200-390 tokens) or farming mats to make rares or farm gold to buy rares off the TP. Regardless, unless you are just doing 1 try a day, it will require you grind. And how the hell can legendaries become more devalued than they already are? I mean for christ’s sake gold sellers sell em as well as being able to buy em off the TP.
Believe me, they can. As you said, the only thing preventing further devaluation is the precursors not being readily available after only a few months of grinding. But guess what – right now they totally are. Grind gold and get one… easy.
My personal opinion is that the precursors should be:
1. Account bound on acquire (no TP listing possible)
2. Awarded for completing an extremely difficult, multi-tiered, multi-skillset challenge. Something only a select few can accomplish via gaming skill. And I mean only a few. Like 1 in 300 people or something like that
3. Available via really, really low RNG as an alternative, because having luck in the world just makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.I can guarantee you people would be complaining ten times as much as they do now though.
My question is why make legendaries so rare that only 1 in 300 people get em? I mean all they are is a skin. Who cares if someone else has one. I mean look at everything else in the game, everyone can get it and it’s an MMO where no one is actually a unique snowflake. I mean if you want to be semi unique, play an MMO that has hardcore raiding and join the top raiding guild and devote 8 hours a night to raiding. This game doesn’t have raiding vs casual so i’m guessing you want the legnedary to be the status symbol that differentiate the casual from the hardcore?
The very reason people want them is because they are not everywhere. You have many cool skins in the game, some arguably way more cool than legendaries, and yet you don’t see people clamoring about those. Why? Because anyone can get them with relative ease and there isn’t much of a prestige factor tied to them.
Make legendaries common and nobody will care. Make them common and actually wearing one will become cheesy and unwanted even. It’s like a Super syndrome… everyone wants to be Super – but when everyone’s Super, no one is.
Um NO- the very reason Anet tells you and pushes you to get them that is why people want them. That is the reason. If Anet stopped pushing them like they did and removed a lot of the value for them they would be significantly easier to get.
Instead they push it as endgame and the only endgame with ascend worth grinding for hence the price.
Tell Anet to stop being a pusher and reward people for time and dedication and skill not rng or bank account.
Make it mean something then and only then will it be reduced in value. More intrinsic value=less gold value.
Unless it means giving it a fixed reasonable price then no it isnt a correct fix. But since Anets friends run that side of the market that wont happen.
Pull either legendary or Pre off the TP and give it a fixed price. That is the only way to make it a reasonable fix.
It will never happen cause that would make most people happy and the wealth and influential in game miserable. Cant have anets friends unhappy.

Unfortunately this is how they want you to play the game. That is why I have not and will not step foot in the fractals.
People kittened and moaned that there was no progression – so now you have it.
I dont see the issue – they all wanted gated grinded +1 gear and got it.
No this game wasnt sold as that and anet sold out their principles and those players left right after but who cares.
When the expansion comes out I stop playing. Play their way or dont play at all.
And no this game is made for the casual and ALL Equipment and Gear is made available that is the issue. Forcing you into a single a build and grinding to get that gear is bad game dev.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
Sorry I call shens. Show the metrics or the nerf happened. There has been a major credibility loss and this would be a small step in restoring it.
It is really sad how bad it has gotten. I mean PVE culling! I now have to get to spawn points in order to tag mobs now. Heaven forbid you stumble upon an event cause I have been downed a few times not seeing anything then orrians appear after I am dead.
It keeps getting worse and worse every day. Especially after the last patch. It is just stupid that it effects things so much.
You are under the assumption DR was implemented to curb botting. It wasnt. Get to the real reason.
If it is in an expansion I dont care cause I wont buy it.
Anet has done some horrific things and made significant changes to the game and threw out founding principles. They attack a players ability to make gold at every turn and force you to play their way or not to play at all or better yet buy gems.
The live service stinks and their ability to read what is going on in game borders on incompetent.
When they get off their high horse fix the above and deal with the bad RNG and keeping players poor policy I may but considering their track record No.
So no I dont care what they do I doubt I would support them unless I can buy it with gems I refuse to give them any money again.
My vote is horizontal progression no more stupid VP gated content and BiS equipment dolled out for playing their way.
How about you let me play my way – let me make gold and have fun. I then in turn support you by buying gems cause I am happy. Now you have resentment.
(edited by Narkosys.5173)
The open world players have been dealing with this for over 3 months now. How do you think we feel?
Dungeon runners have had it 100X better than us. You have simply had your rewards brought in line with ours so it was a needed adjustment since they would never increase open world loot drops.
I dont what there is to complain about – welcome to the true anet.
The stance is you are perceiving it and nothing has been changed.
More dungeons sorry not happy. 3 months straight about dungeons or no reward.
Nice to see people are happy but some hate dungeons and fractals and that is all we have been told to do for well over 3 months straight. No not fun and not nice. play their way or dont play at all.
If you want the best in slot gear they are mandatory in a relatively quick fashion.
Dependent on how you play the game not forcing you to do things you hate.
give people a choice.
or
dont make it the only way to get the BIS gear. Make that gear available via other currency.
What they have done is crap and they know it.
Forcing people to do dungeons or get left behind – nice play their way or dont play at all.
It is beyond stupid now. It affects PVE too. This is just ridiculous.
It takes all the fun out of playing at all.
It keeps getting worse and worse.
How about you give us options or something because it is getting gamebreaking. To the point where I am going to stop playing.
