Guild Wars 2

I enjoyed watching it a lot!

A few points though:

- better team introduction with some stats and short overview of players and teams (general stats like winrate, played/preferred classes, previous teams and success etc.)
-this heurix guy was terrible… quite annoying (everyone else did a good job)
- it seems like many didn’t know the date of the event and I personally felt it wasn’t that easy and clear to get the information (also on teams and players)

So tldr: precursor crafting is useless. Why did they even add it?!
Before there are just “it isn’t meant to be done fast” posts are coming: the time to progress is just WAITING and that’s annoying. Do I even need to explain it further why it’s bad (to say it in a nice way). I would prefer to get some other materials or tasks or whatever.. but it’s useless waiting.

I can’t be the only one who wants to craft a precursor but struggles with the masses of time gated materials (like lump of mithrillium for deldrimor steel ingots).
This is just way too much waiting and really a turn off.
Extremely annoying because I’m doomed to wait.. not just a week or something but as I can see now 1 month (wtf!) for me to progress and I’m right in the middle of the crafting/collection.
Or am I just missing something or doing wrong? I hope so because otherwise it’s an unbearable condition for me to craft a precursor.

The progression with ascended gear is just unpleasant. Some reasons:

-ascended gear = advantage → need ascended gear to keep up
After a failure you don’t just ask what went wrong skill and tactics wise but also how/if it would have gone with max stats.

-getting max stats now requires much time and gold = grind

-prevents from playing alternative characters
because you have to focus one for equipping with ascended gear. And that even takes too much time and gold, it’s just not possible to keep up with other characters or test builds/have several builds (this is a general issue, but with ascended gear it gets worse)

-increases the gap between „green, yellow, exotic“ players/new players and ascended/more experienced players
more experienced/richer player → faster ascended gear = stats advantage (+ experience advantage of course). Why take newbie?

I can’t the the positive things of this „progression“. I perhaps would see positive aspects if it wouldn’t force me to farm and keep up and preventing me from playing several characters.
