Guild Wars 2

Toast.6459:

Grammar errors aside, when did I say they take too much time to get.
Never

I said their nothing more than a grind. I have no qualm with how long they take, in fact I’d be content if they had ended up taking much, much longer if it included a challenge and not just mindless grinding, to the point where nobody had one yet.

Well grinding is kinda fundamentaly a time sink so i just assumed….technicaly even by your criteria, if it was harder to get but also took longer than now it’d still be a grind, you’d just be gridning harder content instead of dungeons /mobs; unless maybe they we’re gated so you could make progress toward them more than once a month or something.

Wait… when were dungeons fun again? :S

But in all seriousness i’m assuming you don’t want to be carried (like most speedrunners seem to expect) and know your way in the dungeons so just use http://gw2lfg.com/ and make the comment “for fun”, “or casual speedruns” or something you expect to experience from that run and you’ll get grps for pretty much every exp, every path.

PS. i fail to see how speedrunning is “downhill” but maybe im to jayded, if you still find novelty in online games, more power to you.

This thread realy should have ended when the op said ‘anet said…’. While apolagizing to the fanboys but so far all anet has showed me personaly is that they can craft a beautiful and interesting world…. beyond that god helps us.

Do we realy need to recount the buggy , exploitable and unbalanced state the game launched in and how most of their knee jerk fixes so far have mostly dug the hole deeper?

From a practical standpoint right now all legendaries are is a skin, to the point where i’d rather pay for that skin with microtransactions than grind it. The only thing they provide is eye candy, complaining that they take time to grind strikes me kinda like complaining that you can’t buy diamond plated teeth AND food on your salary. Either “work” hard or smart and get them…. maybe.

Tbh i find it extreemly sad when i see one of theese “legendaries take to much time to get” threads…. what the hell else do you even have for playing the game besides the flourescent light at the end of the rabbit hole? you can deck out a char in allmost the best gear (by like 5% less) and experience all the pve content 1-80 in what 2 weeks? 3? say another week to get bored of spvp and then what do you have? WvW if your machine doesnt start spitting you in the face and grinding out a legendary…. And even if you reply “what the hell do you mean?! spvp is great, ive been playing only that nonstop since game lanched l2p noob” , fine however tihi YOU CAN’T AQUIRE OR USE THE LEGENDARY IN SPVP

. They aren’t there for people to make money, gear or XP.

Besides the wall of text i’d like to rant about right now but dont have time. Please slap yourself, get of your high horse and (re?!)read the anet post and you will see that in fact that IS what they are suposed to be for.

And please for the bilionth time i’ve had to make this statement for someone on the internet, understand the difference between challenging and tedious, or maybe you’re the kind of guy that would volunteer to be water boarded to just to prove you can do it?.

to paraphrase yahtzee: yes breaking a brickwall down your head will give you an imense feeling of acomplishment…. wich is just as well because you’d have lost all your other senses by then.
