Mike,
Thank you for the transparency. It hurts to not have new legendary weapons but it has to be done. Good luck with the project and hopefully we can see the results in future shipped releases. “When it’s ready” is good for the community, hopefully the staff will “get it done.” This is a big step towards the future of Guild Wars 2 and I commend you for having the guts to reign in your team and demand change.
Best of luck,
The Ultimate Broski (Active Player since 05’)
