I think one set is sufficient for now. We have no plans to release another set of legendary armor in the future.

Im still wondering if someone from anet will come and give opinion on this here. While we are on it will anyone from anet actually consider kicking “selling” raids from lfg. Its getting anying as hell. Its hard enough to browse lfg even without those pricks. not just that those ppl take space there , but they are creating completely new set of players who link tonic but dont know what to do at any boss. This affects pug raiding , a lot.

Gems buys the gold that buy the runs you dont like to see on lfg.

Dont generalize your case pls…i think most of the buyers are hard core farmers or tp barons, more than people like you exhanging gems to gold.
And there is nothing wrong with that.

Its a fact that i bought thousands of UK pounds worth of gems to get the insights for this armour..But you prefer to fantasize that this gold comes from tp flipers..And its not possible to farm the gold needed for 150 insights.all i do is farm gold in this game and 100g a day dont touch the 35k gold needed for insights.as a side note the gold i had to buy got me rank 15 on gw2 efficiency

It is possible to obtain enough gold weekly to purchase an entire raid clear without converting gems to gold.

In a game were you can buy gems and convert to gold that also allows the selling of runs you do not think gem sales pay for runs?no you would rather believe that this gold is being farmed or thats its tp flipers buying runs.you do know santa is not real.
was it not intended that legendary weapons be sold on the TP?the only difference here is you cant buy this armour from third party gold selling sites.

Do you really think many people like you exist? Willing to spend several thousand euros / dollars whatever for some pixels ? Don’t make me laugh pls…whales like you are pretty uncommon…

Ye thats crazy,but what about spending thousands and thousands of real hours is that crazy? i have spent a lot more hours in this game than money.what one is more crazy.
some of you guys are just deluded.lets pretend this game isnt designed around making money from gem sales.and lets pretend im the only one buys them.

I know gw2efficiency isn’t a perfect way to kitten how many raid. But if we use their data it doesn’t look all that great.
But I also believe more and more will start raiding and even more when armor is out.

No idea why that put kitten but to say a different way is —isn’t a perfect way to figure out how many raid.

That huge time gate caused by the 150 insights might just put a few of them off.

There is no way of knowing the percentage of players that do raids.but no matter what it is only a small percentage of them can kill every raid boss every week.and even those who can might not find repeating what was meant to be a challenge over and over every week for months.some people can watch the same movie hundreds of times,most cant/wont.
mo said there primary task was to entertain us.grind is not entertainment.

letting us buy insights with margonite shards at a rate of 100 shards for 1 insight and letting those with extra insights use them to buy margonite shards could help both sides in this.

This would only actively promote fail state farming till you’re shard capped for the week.

We don’t need the game to promote that.

i do not see how,as it would take 2 years to get 150 insights at a rate of 100 shards for 1 insight buy failing.

Its not the number of insights that bothers some its more the time gate they cause.
il repeat what has been said now for 13 pages.for those with static groups we are talking 4 months,this could be as long as 6 months to a year for players with no static group using lfg every week.for raids to survive and continue being developed they must attract players.haveing the rewards locked behind massive time gates will only shorten there life span.that dont bother the i got mine kitten crowd.

and the fact that you’re buying your runs, which means less LI so less gold spent for you, has nothing to do with your statement?
PS : i’m not at all a raid seller

Why do i buy raid runs?the problem with this forum is that people like you pick out the bits they want and use it to attack other posters.if i want legendary Armour i really do not have any other options do i?buying gems to get gold to pay for runs does not hurt this game.and has no effect on me thinking like a lot of players do that anet have and still are taking this game places most players would rather it did not go.

Used in the creation of legendary,the gift of craftsmanship is also used but only needs 6.
no one new how or how many would be used.i suppose those with statics or that relay want the armour will get it.that does not make huge time gates and grind any better for the game or even raids even if its what some of you want.

“I like the idea of things that you need to do that you cannot buy because otherwise you can just famr SW and just buy it”

Why does the opinion of people who already have 150 li not count? Because they already have it? That’s the weakest excuse ever.

for example:

What if an item that i want is 30g in the store. But I don’t have 30 gold. Almost everyone who will post that its a fair amount of gold for that item will probably have 30g to buy the item. So their opinion doesn’t count? So basically they need to reduce the amount fo gold for the item because I who doesn’t have the gold for it thinks it should be lower?

That’s basically what your saying.

Let’s say that you can get 5 li per week. That’s 5 weeks for 1 legendary item. That’s A LOT LESS then what you have to do for the pvp backpiece. if you look at the stats that you get out of that armor. it’s a lot more then a backpiece.

Stop looking at the armor as 1 piece and start looking at it what it is. 6 individual pieces of legendary armor. If you look at the armor as 1 piece. Are you going to look at all the weapons too as 1 piece? Because if I want to run a ranger with axe/torch – sword/dagger. Then I need 4 legendary weapons for just 1 build. So I need a 1000 of every t6 materials for 1 build! do I need just 400g for only the icy rune stones for just 1 build! Do i need around 2000 globs of ectoplams for just 1 build! pls Anet lower the amount of materials so i need to grind less gold in SW or kill less mobs to get my materials needed for 1 build.
(sarcasm for those who don’t see it ;-) )

I did not say the opinion of those with 150 insights shouldn’t count.what i am saying is that some of there opinions look like the only have them because they seek to make it harder than need be for anyone but themselfs to get this armour.The collection is finished after around 20 insights and all bosses killed.the collection proves you have beet the raid.wtf does 150 insights prove?nothing.its like all grind its to extend the life of the content.It dont prove dedication,it might prove you got more free time than some other people.
150 insights needs lower or we need another faster way to get them.the time gate is way over the top.and your comparison of insights to gold is just silly.

Ye its a fair amount,even fairer if you already got them and can skip the four month time gate. Oddly enough its a common opinion on this thread.trying something difficult and new can be a challenge,but does that challenge not fade with time and repetition.
when it becomes grind that challenge is long gone.and if you do it for pleasure why do the number of insights mean so much? lowering of insights would have no effect on you and your pleasure from raids,and keeping it high only effects those who do not find insights so easy to get.

I think you would find more people do pvp and wvw than raid and its the armour thats exclusive to raids that angers some.then you got those 150 LI putting it further out of reach.Then you have the problem of accessibility that is only made worse by some of the people who already raid.Pvp and wvw did not divide the guild wars 2 community and raids probably didn’t ether, some raiders do.post above you is a fine example of that.

raids are not popular.legendary armour locked behind raids even less popular.
because a small subsection of the game enjoys raids dont make them popular.
the point im making is that keeping things all exclusive ie 150LI will only end bad for players who like raids.if raids do not get a bit more mainstream they will go join the last batch of legendary weapons in never never land.

I just wanted clear pointer that u guys give – it doesnt matter if players have skills to do raids or not , all that matters ppl who opose this is as was stated , “we have 150, u dont so we dont wish you to have”. All this talk how armors are for skilled is bollox , say clealry that all you care is others not gettingn armor when u do.

False equivocation.

All they are saying is, if they bar is 150 it should stay 150. You can sugar coat any argument any way you want but what it comes down to is keeping the standard where it is so its equal for all.

players with a static group killing all 9 bosses with ease every week who already have the 150 needed is equal to players without a static struggling to find a group for every kill every week and with maybe 50 insights.

Again Raids were not made for Pugs, the legendary armor was not made for pugs as the Target audience, pugs don’t even make up the Majority of Raiders.

and you base that on what? were do you pull such information from?

You may want the set but it is individual all individual pieces, and Legendaries are a long term goal, every Lgendary is gated behind something, if you aren’t willing to put the time or maximize your chances of achieving requirements you have no reason to complain.

It’s like me saying map completion is a huge time Gate barring me from receiving a Legendary weapon. It’s over 52 months so far since I don’t PvE.

since when does map completion involve finding 9 other people to do it with?
imagine how much longer it would take if you did need 9 other people.as has been said 150 insights are fine for guys with static.whole different issue for most folk puging it,

Were are you getting most from? i would say its around 50/50 on this thread.whats fun to one player is not always fun to another.and as i have said some of those in favour of 150 on this thread have questionable motives .ie already got what they need or selling runs.
im sure there is a few truly like grinding raid bosses,but not anywhere close to what you claim.but maybe from the perspective of some one thinking of getting in to raids for this armour 150 LI is just a bit to much.and that might harm raids in the long run.

Wait…. so I ask for methods to speed up the process to great resistance, only for you to suggest the exact same thing but outside of raids….

OMG make up your mind, inside raids, outside raids, who cares, LI is LI. We I don’t want 4+ months of pointless grind.

Fixed it for you. You don’t speak for everyone.

well i dont want 4+ months of pointless grind either.

He speaks for most people playing this game who dont like pointless grind.
But since they are locked out of raids in the first place most of them are not going to come on a sub section of the forums for raids to discus the number of insights needed for armour they have very little chance of ever getting. difficulty,accessibility,150LI

Most people? Was there a survey conducted that I missed?

take a look at most of the threads about HOT, and what was it the spring patch was fixing.the only place on these forums you will find people ok with excessive grind is this one.and thats because some of them got there insights already and want keep this armour as exclusive as possible,then you got those that are selling runs.

guy a few posts above said “No, because the part of the story where they “tried to find a group for hours and hours” is completely fabricated.” i was responding.as i have never tried raiding.and mental health problems dont realy attract sympathy in our society now do they.but you think what you want. i respond and maybe i should not take the bait.
i already spent the money on gems and changed that to gold to buy all the runs to get 150 insights and already have 52. so what is it you think im doing.if not trying to reduce the time gate like every one else wanting the number reduced.and giving a reason when asked why i cant raid.

Dropped in to see how discussion goes. Same old elitists and raid sellers zerg on eldrin. If you expect to make any valid conversation here its is not possible. literally if u go from start to end this is what u can read:
I have 150 li its fine.
Ill ask you question. If u imagine person who is sick and can play focused 1-2h per day max , should we disreggard that person to and say , who cares let him grind for year ? Is this “i have none else should” attitude we see here what community of players is ?
Why is there not single one post saying, hey i see u have hard time to do 9 bosses week , if you cant contact me to help im in skilled raid guild and we help players like u?

your very right,before raids players helped each other.raids brought a horrible attitude in to this game.maybe these are not the same people used to play guild wars 2 the game every one said had the best community in all mmos.

You are saying that before raids people help each other??? People helped at things like world events, and they still do. When you say help, its look like being carried. And before raids, or before HoT, the most difficult content was fractal 50. And it was no different than raids, people even selled fractal runs, just like raids.

you cant compare selling a fractal for a few gold to the gold thats being taken for raids.
its on a whole different scale.i spent£3000 on gems changed to gold to buy runs for 150 insights and im not even sure i will have enough,some fold sell last boss wing 3 1900g.
almost price of a legendary weapon for a few minutes work.

One group seeks to maintain the value of what they got and the others with less seek to increase the value of theres.ye grind is subjective,it all depends what end of it your standing how you see it.you done your grind and dont see why others should skip any of it.im on 52 insights and il probably see it same way as you in 11 weeks.leave it as it is
new folk wont find raids and the rewards so attractive and with luck raids go away.

When most people started raiding legendary armor was so far off that no one thought about it. If there had never been legendary armor I don’t think the number of raiders would be much less. Lots of raiders aren’t even going to get the legendary armor, at least for a long time. It’s a sizable gold investment, especially if the skin isn’t very good, and it’s almost identical to an ascended set unless it has some good utility with runes. I actually think it’s funny how much some people think that legendary armor is all that people want with raids, because it’s really just a raid skin that costs 4k+ gold.

On a related note, I’m really wondering how many players out there would actually make the armor sooner if the insight count were lowered, versus those that would still have to wait a long kitten time to farm all the gold. I think the insight count is probably too high just because the rest of the collection takes so much less time, but realistically the gold cost is probably just a difficult/grindy for a lot of people.

a highly skilled player without a static could take way longer to get his insights than a low skilled player with a static.
thats not exactly rewarding skill is it.

Like it or not, being good at social interaction is a skill in this game. Effective communication is important for any group-based content. There have been plenty of people on these forums that rage and talk all sorts of bullcrap and it’s not surprising to me at all that they are complaining about not being able to get a group, lol.

As a player with Asperger syndrome the social interaction skills sort of lock me out.
and before raids social skills were not needed to get the best gear,i could play the game my way and get the stuff i wanted.now i am faced with pay for runs if i want legendary armour or be left behind as folk get the new best gear.I am actually angry with anet that after playing since launch i got to pay over£3000 to get gear they locked me out of.
im also ashamed of myself for paying it.and the games not so fun no more.

i didnt say it was not possible to find 9 other players to do a raid,i said a lot of players find it a problem,maybe even the biggest problem when raiding.and that makes grinding out 150 insights more time consuming for some than others,raids and these insights arnt something you can work on yourself unlike map completion.haveing grind tied to needing 9 other people to do it with adds a new dimension to the grind and will extend the time gate.a highly skilled player without a static could take way longer to get his insights than a low skilled player with a static.

How can it be that in a 10 man raid were to most the single biggest problem by far is finding 9 other players familiar with the mechanics that the ONLY thing holding a player back from getting 150 insights is themselves.

accessibility and those 150LI that we are disusing come to mind.
And the amount of personal skill needed is questionable.
but i gave up just at the thought of all the time i would need spend on lfg trying to get in a group and learn the mechanics with total strangers.i dont play this game to sit on lfg for hours every day.i always thought with this game it was log in and play and have fun.log in and sit on lfg for hours to find a group and probably fail,several attempts latter get a kill. and so it goes on for week after week month after month with no end in sight for 150 insights. to me these things come between me and the game i enjoy playing.

I pugged all my 126LI and I still need another 4 bosses for this week. Which I will get most likely on this weekend. Im working too and I dont see problem that you are facing. Sure I wont get kills sometimes due to time constraint, but its suppose to be a legendary journey to craft those legendary armor. It will take time and Im fine with it which Im sure many people are fine with it too. Legendary weapons and armors shouldnt be sellable or buyable in the first place. Tips that I can give is just get better in the mechanics and encounters and people will add you up in their friend list for future raids. Good luck.

you are 126 insights and are fine with it being 150.you need 24 of course your fine with it.and as for your tip. you cant claim to have puged your insights then talk about doing raids with folk on your friends list.some guys pug it every week and every week its different folk they play with,hence the struggle to make progress on the insights.as has been made clear its mostly folk who already got or are close to 150 who are fine with it.

A major problem with asking that the number of insights be lowered is its rubbing some players up the wrong way as they see a lot of profit to be made from selling runs.
some of these guys are already at or around 150 LI and what else are they going to do with all that raid experience they got but sell runs to help those less able to get there insights.They could be helping less experienced,but they wont do that with all that gold to be made.let me be clear i have no problem with players selling raids,i do take issue with the hypocrisy of some of them having the cheek to come on this thread to argue against lowering the LI needed to get legendary armour

For the 20th time people are tired of your false equivocation.

Just because you buy raids, does not make that the sole reason or any reason people are not agreeing with you.

If you’ve got a legitimate complaint that isn’t your wallet hurting for lowering LI’s which people can actually discuss or a feasible solution that can be discussed then do that instead of this flippant pandering and gross distortion of a problem you’ve created for yourself.

again my words are taken by you and twisted and distorted. i did not say every one objecting to the lowering of number of LI needed was selling runs.but are you claiming that this has not happened on this thread? and who are these people that elected you to speak on there behalf on this thread.like every one else on this forum you speak for your self.

what is it im known to exaggerate? what is actually happening is that i am being hounded and harassed by certain individuals every time i post on these forums no matter what the thread.but i come on the forums as a way of letting anet know my veiws,and i suppose i just need put up with the fact there are people with rather malicious motives also posting on the forum.

Because you just don’t argue reasonably.

im not arguing im giving my opinion.and am being accused in one post of lieing and on another of exaggerating.

EDIT: Oh wait, from your other posts it seemed that you bought raid runs. So basically you complained that you bought 3 wing 3 runs and didn’t get a single ectoplasm? XD

It doesn´t matter if he bought or not the raid runs and if you think so, I think you have not understood what this topic is about.

There are many players who have already been waiting 3 weeks to finish t1 collection because the infused ectoplasm didn’t drop. However, waiting 3 weeks is not the worst, the main problem is that we can´t know how much time we will have to wait until it drops. It can be just a week more or even a year from now. If someone thinks that this system is fine he is absolutely wrong or he already has the infused ectoplasm.

You missed Legacy’s point questioning the validity of the poster because he’s know to exaggerate issues.

Either way, no one is disagreeing that this is a rather silly timegate that probably ought to be removed.

3 weeks and 9 chests opened and no Bloodstone-Infused Ectoplasm for me.
Having rng blocking you from finishing this collection just sucks and serves no purpose other than frustration.

Interesting…
I see you’ve progressed quite far in the raiding and managed to regularly finish Twisted Maze every weeks. Yet I see your constant complaining about the amount of raiding people have to do in the other thread.

What’s more interesting, 2 weeks ago you did say this:

As someone who cant do the raids(age,disability’s etc)i just hope the 35k gold i got from gem purchases is enough to buy 125 insights i still need and finish this armour.Was it set at 150 to make it very costly for people like me? buying runs is a long standing tradition in guild wars,and like it or not it is allowed and was going to be used by some to get this armour.

…wait, I thought you already opened all those chests in the 3 weeks the new wing has been out? (which implies you’ve at least beaten a boss, considering the collection doesn’t even unlock without beating a raid boss).

So which one is real?

No im complaining about rng the same as every one else on this thread,

whats real is i buy the runs and have spent 6000g to get 9 insights a week from this wing.
whats that got to do with the rng for this item.

new raiders seeking to work there way towards 150LI are are faced with one lot of people on lfg asking for high numbers of insights as a requirement to join them and another lot selling the runs to get the insights.that to me seems a very unhealthy environment for a new raider to enter.

What is legendary about 150? nothing,folk in statics already got close to that and will soon far exceed it .
to be truly legendary and something you must make real sacrifices for it should take a minimum of one year,9 raid bosses every week for just one year is more legendary is it not.please increase to 468 LI.
