Guild Wars 2

Hi,

pls don´t be angry with me, cause my english is not very good. But i want to say a few words concerning RNG.

Before i started playing gw 1 month ago i was playing TERA for a long time. In this game everything was based on rng… even the shop. If you wanted to have some itmes for pimping your gear, or special runes, or even nice mounts or skins you always had to pray to the god of rng – and he was bad tempered… ALWAYS! The chances of good rng were so low that you can think about calling it criminal way to melk the gamers…. the final reason i left this game after years of becoming worse and worse.

Cause i´m very new to gw i don´t know exactly in wich ways the content of gw depends on rng. The only great rng-thing i have seen so far are the precursor. Ascended boxes seems to be rng too, but hey … you can craft this gear and you can´t trade it… so even if you are lucky with these boxes … you can make no profit.
Then there are some rng-based drops like the new skins in sw i guess. But this is not an overpowered gear or in any way necessary to enjoy the whole content… so it is ok for me.
If there are any other big rng-based things i haven´t had any contact with it so far.

In my opionion any kind of farming or getting marks to elinimate rng and make it a question of grind will be the wrong way.
As i said for me it seems like rng did not decide about your chances to clear all content or to get any overpowered gear… and even having tons of gold doesn´t seem to give you any hard advantage in gw….. that is great!
So if we are only talking about precursors maybe you can add in addition to rng 1 not rng based way to get at least 1 of them and make sad players happy. Maybe by reaching a certain number of successpoints or completing A LOT of content (similar to making map 100%), or grinding a lot of certain mobs / worldbosses / events etc.

It is only my opinion… but as long as rng didn´t cap your opportunity to take part in the whole content of gw rng is absolutly ok.

Thanks for reading and sorry for bad english. And sorry if i don´t see the whole problem after my short time of playing gw.
