Justifying the change by buying another account for 10$ is just BS. With this change mats prices went up by alot and still rising, yeah good luck new players you need to either p2w and get gold or become the no life farmer which sounds alot of fun.

Altair, I love the change and for this reason alone I will be working on earning a set. Finally a reason to make one. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine.

Over and over I’ve seen people complain about how hard it is to get a set of ascended armor. Then they turn right around and say weeeellllll for those who do, they should not be rewarded for their work. They should not be rewarded for putting in considerable more time than me. I should be equal to them in every way even though I don’t want to spend as much time playing to acquire this set of armor.

This must be true, because the same people crying now are the same ones who said before ascended armor was simply not worth it. Now that it will be it’s just not fair.

For the record I do not own a set of that armor. I have squandered all my resources to get pretty weapons and pretty clothes. But I do not feel so entitled to think those who spent their time and money wisely on better gear shouldn’t deserve it. It seems to me some of you are just bitter because you didn’t plan ahead. I didn’t and now it looks like I will be paying for it. But instead of whining on forums I will get back to the game and start working on one.

For PVE I understand people loving the change because PVE is all about the gears. However, PVP should be competitive for everyone to enjoy, you shouldn’t have an advantage because of your gears. WvW is suffering from Buffs that you get from lots of different things like food, utility…etc. Now instead of fixing these to make it more balanced and competitive, they make it more unbalanced.

I really hate how they made this and the condi changes without addressing it for WvW. Grinding is what kills the game for me, and that’s why I don’t do PVE. One of the reasons I fell in love with this game is the fact you don’t need to grind anything, you can just play spvp/wvw and exchange badges for gears. Also, I’m someone who likes to play more than one class, so yeah…this sucks not sure how I’ll feel about it when someone is doing higher damage in PVP just because he did the PVE.

I play 95% WvW and I have 2 ascended sets of armor. You don’t have to grind for it if you consider it a long term investment.

I have 685Hours on my account, and I only play WvW with my rank being 620. What I have is 3 Chests of Loyalty(haven’t opened them because of the expansion), 1 healing signet(got it from a chest) and 1 Eye of Janthir(Laurels). So clearly I’m doing something wrong here. Could you tell me how did you get these two full sets of armor?
