Guild Wars 2

Personally, I am currently level 50 in FotM before they made brought out the ascended weapons and such. I do got to say that I am really disappointed that Arena Net is resetting the personal levels to 30 because personally I don’t think they understand how hard it was to level up your Fotm levels and even if you leveled your FotM level to 40+ (before ascended weapons), it was still extremely difficult to finish if people just leave in the middle of fractals (due to time constraints). So I would like to know, in what way would this be even fun for players that wasted tons of time to level up their Fractals beyond 40 or 50 for them to just be rest to 30 just for the leaderboards.

Personally, instead of resetting all the personal rewards, Arena net should have a choice where the game introduces a “different” FotM which has leaderboards. What I mean by different is that players should have a choice to either keep their personal reward levels for just “regular Fotm” and players that would like to have a more competitive Fotm should que up for the “leaderboard” Fotm to get unique rewards.

I got to 80 in about 1 week, 35 hours played roughly around 4 to 5 hours a day. Currently, my ranger only has one orange item (the leggings) and everything else that I have equipped on me are either blue, green, or yellow.
Although it might be true that it might take hours and hours of grinding to actually get legendary items, I find myself having fun even without a full set of oranges or yellows or whatever seems to “make my character super overpowered.” I see no point in trying to get these items when Anet brings you down to the area level limits where you free kill things and get the same amount of experience all around.
If you really want items that can help you out, try exploring and getting 100% clears on higher level maps. It gives you decent amount of coin and decent items (unlucky for me couldn’t get many medium armor equips.)
As a casual player myself, I can not complain about the lack of legendary items I can get. Afterall, I am a casual player just trying to kill time at the end of the day. If I really wanted to get legendary items, Its just going to take me a long time. Nothing else to it.
Btw, Anet. This is a great game.
