If this goes live im giving all my crap to people in guild and quitting. And I did spend money on gems, 70 bucks. I didnt mind when I thought the game was going in the right direction. Now? I feel cheated.

As an aside, did anybody else notice this little snippet?

“As we introduce the new high-level content, we’ll also roll out complimentary Ascended and Legendary items (to say nothing of the other rewards you can earn by playing the content).”

Complimentary Ascended and Legendary items? As in, we’ll get a FREE Ascended/Legendary item when Lost Shores is released?

No, they mean to compliment the new content. Ie, increase the stats again.

Oh since I just thought of this, I didnt like the concept of infusion when it was in vanilla wow and called fire and nature resistance sets.

Seriously. Its such a stupid system… I thought GW2 was a ‘next gen’ mmo…. whats with this kitten?

Quitting if this goes live dont like being lied to. And it points to more of this crap down the future. Whats the next colour going to be?

Thought we had gotten off the ‘gear grind’ and here we are.

Sad, I enjoyed the game and was happy to spend money on the gem store to support you. Now? I feel lied to, and am sorry I spend that money >.< Oh well.

You guys seriously couldnt think of anything but the gear treadmill? Most people were happy to have gone past that, not the devs apparently…

There are only disincentives to doing wvwvw before you hit 80

The problem is, it was ok if you did it when the game came out. Now there are many (Mostly?) 80s to deal with.

Teh gap is huge whereas before there was a decent mix. And its only going to get worse. Imagine being level 30 even when everyone else is 80 a few months from now.

You are essentilaly cannon fodder, provide nothing for the team, and cant do much of anything.

Is this intended going forward? I love wvwvw, but having to wait till I hit 80 for my alts will be a huge turn off.

You level slower, you do no damage, you are complete decimated by people with a ‘real’ higher level than you.

Its essentially an excercise in futility.

I love alts, I love wvwvw, but I dont like the ‘you must be this tall’ to enjoy the ride, because to me it complete kills an important aspect of the game for me, alts, and enjoyment.
