I wouldn’t give a beep if the stat of Legendary, Ascended and Exotic are the same. If as ANet said the difference is insignificant, then why have it in the first place? Just keep the top stat at the Exotic rank and everyone would be happy.
FOTM would still be OP given how much higher the drop rates are. Even gear alone without including all of the 400 crafting mats.
“how can you tell that more people dislike ascended gear then people like it?”
Talk to people about it. I haven’t met a single person who likes FOTM as an idea. Even without it being ascended the fact that the drop rate of items in it is so much greater than any other dungeon means that every other one has become inefficient. I think that they should remove the instance all together, the whole different level grinding goes against the entire games model.
“A better question is why cant you just ignore that content if you dont like it?”
Because being weaker than others is not fun. Also people like being efficient. In fact spending time doing a dungeon with much lower drops actually is psychologically troubling, as the brain knows you could be doing better.
More so the entire game was marketed as being open ended and being able to play your way. Dynamic events, the looting system, tons of gear that is of the same stats but different looks rather than endlessly progressing tiers, “personal” story etc. Yet it has been a few months or so and they are already changing things to a normal mmo grind fest, as if they forgot the whole focus of the game. I think that is why a lot of people are upset, if things go that direction in such a short time, how far will the game sway from its model later. Also from talking to others, many feel lied to and unheard. After all almost everyone has been saying how wrong FOTM is, but rather than trying to remove it, the staff keeps saying how great it is, and talking about expanding it even further.
“Some People like PvE but hate PvP, should they remove sPvP and WvW because of that? "
This is not an issue of “some people” I have not heard a single person saying they think FOTM was a good idea in game. EVERY single person I have heard when the issue is brought up have been complaining.
