makes me wonder if u would have written the same if it were a wvw achievement instead of dungeons.
and yes, a monthly is necessary with the rediculous laurelprices of ascendent gear for us who refuse to run fotm. hell even with the monthly it still takes to long to get them. and frankly i dont see how taking out fotm-dungeon just to replace it with other dungeons is supposed to be any better for us who dont run them for whatever reasons. a-net should have brought neutral monthlys (they managed the 1st 2 months of the game if i remember right) even if they r easier until their new reward system is fully implemented.
hello,
since my friend is blocked and it seems like he cant even post here i am doing it for him:

Dear Gale,
I have been banned for using a 3rd party program. i submitted the ticket 4 days ago and the reply said I use third party. After that I replyed the mail. Since then i got no answer from cs. I did not use a 3rd party program. If you look into my account you will see that i dont even play very much, so there is no reason to use a cheat or hack be it farming, dungeon running or wvw.
I am sharing my internet over a splitter with multiple parties in my house, could that have triggered a flag?
I’m sorry for troubling u but I really want to continue playing GW2 as soon as possible.
Thank you and Best Regard,
Edward Chin
that posted he normally plays together with me and if its any help i can assure u he did not bot or hack.
i strongly disagree, the difference between rare and exotic is noticeable. and most players in wvw using green armors? maybe if they still lvl up, but most 80s i know roam around with exotic, and if they got a rare set they really working on their orange. i´m not interested in dungeons(only did 2 runs since headstart) and wont run the new 1, but i want to stay competetive on even ground in wvw, so anet better make the stats same as exotic or makes the new gear really easily obtained, since i spend quite a lot on crafting and buying sets for 2 characters by now and am not interesting in do so again.
People are really so paranoid here. 56 pages.
Don’t worry too much. -_-- PLEASE Read This -
They still live by their philosophy. Why can’t you guys see that?
More importantly, what are you guys afraid of?GW2: Ascended gears are just another tier. It’s not a requirement to have it to experience any future new content X/Y/Z. You can have fun with all in-game content and dungeons with any tier equipments. You don’t need to grind to experience content X/Y/Z.
Traditional MMO: Better gears are needed to experience new contents, story in PVE and raids. Those gears are a mandatory requirement to reap the fun of the the new content X/Y/Z. Players are forced to grind just to experience newer content.
They are so different.
Yet, it ponders me why can’t people see it.You dont get it do you, current ascendent gear will last for how long ? 3 months? year?
Then they introduce even more poverful ascendent gear so its start again. THis is not their philosophy..
Guild Wars philosophy = you obtained best gear (aka exotic) and there will never ever better gear. stat wise. Even after 7years the armor you equiped at release, was the best.
Every player was equal, WvW vs PvE players, those who dont likes dungeons had the same gear in wvw like those who runs dungeon only.
After this update, those who run dungeons and have ascendent gear, they will have advantage over those who dont, in wvw .. .DO YOU GET IT?MMO needs progression. If not, it’ll die as a limited game with no growth.
The philosophy is just you making it up.
You perceived their philosophy in the wrong way to begin with.Their philosophy is for you to have fun with every content the game has to offer without grinding. You are still able to experience every content X/Y/Z with a low-tier equipment.
You won’t have advantage towards others.
A fine and exotic don’t even have any notable difference. Do you realise that most of the WvWvW players are using the green masterwork tier? They can beat exotics equally. What difference does ascended makes? Few dozen stats = 1-2% increase in actual combat. You can’t beat someone who are 1-2% stronger than you?The point is, the game must have progression, even if it’s small numbers.
Dedicated had fun when they go from white to blue. Blue to Green. Green to Yellow. Etc.
ur right, it is what they said. i´m just not as positive as u about it. frankly i dont believe that ascendent will be the last tier at all (but well, thats to be seen in the future) and think even as a bridge to legendary its badly implemented. i love the game and hope i´m wrong, but for whatever reasons they did implement a new tier and introduced gear progression(and for me broke a promise with that) as i said already with this they lost my trust.
no1 complains about ascendent gear per se. they need infusions for the dungeon, fine, thats something u can disable outside of this dungeon. dont care since i dont run dungeons anyway. but they didnt need to implement higher stats on these items, messing aroud with players in wvw or players that just want the feeling of accomplishment finishing a character. this is where the gear treadmill starts and frankly with breaking that particular manifesto promise they lost my trust that ascendent will be the last tier of gear.
This is what I’m trying to dispel though, the idea that this is the beginning of a “gear treadmill”. I agree that it wasn’t really necessary to raise the stats on the new tier, however, it is extremely clear that they only added the new tier in order to A ) bridge the progression gap to legendary, and B ) enable them to add infusions as a way to mitigate new monster abilities.
They are so incredibly clear that they will only be adding more Ascendant items, starting with back and accessories. If people want to read out of context and assume there will be more tiers, fine, do that. But if you read the blog post thoroughly it says nothing about this.

She says over and over in the blog post that they’ll be adding more Ascended and Legendary items in future updates… You guys are taking one quote out of context and assuming that it means more tiers of progression, as opposed to many more items to fill out the Ascended tier.
You want a quote war? Fine. Learn to read. I’m getting annoyed by the level of ignorance on this forum.
Stop quoting this out of context:
The new additions in November are just the start of our item progression initiative.
Because HERE is the context:
As we introduce the new high-level content, we’ll also roll out complimentary Ascended and Legendary items
As we release more new end game content in the future, you’ll see more Infusions and Ascended item types being added to the game
Eventually, you’ll be able to kit yourself out with a full set of Ascended gear and high end Infusions to help give you the edge in end game content.
We designed the process of getting Legendary gear to be a long term goal, but players were ready to start on that path much sooner than we expected and were becoming frustrated with a lack of personal progression.
By adding challenging new combat mechanics to end-game content and ways to mitigate those mechanics through gear progression for high-end players, we can add personal progression without making the game feel like an endless treadmill of gear that is just out of your reach.
So yeah, stop cherry picking one sentence. It is clear that they want gear progression to be related strictly to infusions, and how infusions interact with high-level monster abilities.
In order to accomplish this they had to add ONE new tier. What else could they do? It’s not feasible to change every single exotic item in the game to reflect this new infusion system. Like it or not, you’ll have to progress through a new tier, but nowhere is it stated that there will be items beyond Ascended, merely infusions.
Read this again:

Simple. Anyone can get maxed Ascended gear in the future and compete in WvW on fair ground. Those who want to empower themselves in the hardest PvE content can use infusions to mitigate new PvE combat mechanics.
I can’t be the only one who is reading between the lines and not freaking out over one sentence.
i´m very disappointed. i thought this is the game that caters to my playstyle, that lets me finish a character for once so i can concentrate on alts. they broke their promise with this, which was a major selling point for me. and to those thinking that after ascendent wont come another tier, dream on. once they started this, they will need to continue for the players enjoying gear grind.
No. This smells dangerously like gear grind and would be a major disappointment.

“The new additions in November are just the start of our item progression initiative.”
More to come, frankly, this is gear grind for me. Not having that was 1 of the main selling points for me. I wont complain 2 much, had a lot of fun. But if it turns out like this i definetly wont by any future expansions.
