Why do people run fractals? I started running them recently with some friends, but I’m not sure what the benefits are. Seems to take around an hour to complete a fractal and its pretty decent loot I suppose, nothing spectacular. Is the point to just get additional ascended mats and go for the long grind to get ascended rings? If that’s the only reason, what are additional ways to grind for mats and currency instead of fractals? Thanks.
I was doing some googling and couldn’t really find what I was looking for, but sorry if this was asked before.
