I can’t believe how many players are defending the nature of MMO grinds on this thread! You would think OP was asking ArenaNet to banish any and all effort to achieve anything from GW2.

Honestly, If the bragging rights and fulfillment of working long term to obtain any legendary ain’t some part your motivation then its probably not worth the farm FOR YOU individually. I myself am working towards Ascended gear and have no intention to craft a legendary because its not worth it…for me, however, another player may find those legendary items a perfect goal to strive for.

root issue is the influx of players into the genre 5-10 years to games that presented themselves as mmoRPG while not actually being that at all. The games advertised themselves as mmorpg, and therefore player go about ‘expecting’ things from a totally different genre of game. RPG’s are about building your character (and not necessarily power) with a mixture of short, mid, long and legendary objectives.

That might be true but nothing really stays the same with traditional MMORPG genre either, so I don’t really get why some players are pretending that MMORPGs have to be a certain way for it to be acceptable esp on GW2 when its not a traditional mmorpg; the rpg part is purely optional outside of HoT and farming objectives. Like, I get the expectations from misleading games causing conflict in other games that are in the right genre, but that shouldn’t be a reason to tell players with mislead expectations to ‘git gud’ when they post in community forums.

In GW2 Legendary items were suppose to be long term objective items for those who want the elements of rpg while having the option to do other things, but it became kinda moot as a long term farm later on based off of if you have the gold or not. So in a sense it does question if some legendary items are worth the farm/grind if it can be bought given the right time and gold.

From now on I will name all my hate posts like this.

I hate these things. Same could be said about all HoT enemies but these take the spot. The melee ones are easy enough but the ranged ones (zappers and lobbers) and the one veteran with the thorns shield are the worst. People complain about the damage that HoT enemies do and these are no different. Anything below 16k HP gets taken down instantly by the veterans nearly impossible to see zap plus they are always accompanied by lobbers and zappers. Makes some areas in the TD impossible to travel.
(Dont even mention chak sentries because devs think they were such a great idea.)

I play a necro with 20k+ health and no ascended (and above) gear and at most chak enemies are annoying even at veteran but I can still solo them in mobs….slowly lol. They are not too bad, Maybe they got nerfed recently? o.o

The ones I loathe personally are the mushroom enemies, screw them!

and the sad part is I CAN do ranged attacks and they still give me grief. I cannot do the Emperor challenge at all even with 4 extra players >.<

I don’t think HoT ruined the game in itself, however, I will say it did remove a lot of the charm GW2 core has such as making solo exploration an enjoyable process >.<

I am glad they are seeing the problems players are point out and are trying to address them as time goes on but… HoT will not be the type of expansion that everyone will enjoy. Basically, if you like the grind of MMO’s HoT is where some players will gravitate towards and if you like chill casual; core is the other option XD
