When GW2 first came out, I bought it understanding that it would be a game all about what I want to do. I love the PvE and Living Story content, but I’m not a huge fan of WvW, just not my cup of tea. I have 5 level 80’s and never really crafted, cause it was cheaper to just sell the mats and buy the exotics I wanted on the Trading Post, or buy them with karma in Orr. I could participate in any content I wanted, without being penalized for it.
Now it’s different. Now I need to get level 500 crafting in everything in order to have the best gear? Or hope the RNG gods will give a stat I want in the Fractals? Or shell out the cash for legendaries?
None of these options seem to reflect the Guild Wars that I’ve been a part of since Prophecies.
