Playing the trading post isnt a honest way of earning a legendary imo. It doesnt suffer from diminishing returns like almost everything else in this game and manipulates prices.
wow, i just give up
you’re actually saying you want the process to be easier because you keep using the wrong and harder way of achieving it… that really tells a lot
this is what i was talking about when i wrote using your brain to find profitable way to achieve your goal instead of being stubborn
but apparently you’d rather be stubborn, then go ahead and work way harder on an already hard process to get no benefits in return, possibly even making you sick of the game
Very good news, lets hope precursors drop below 100g. They shouldnt cost more than a full set of t3 cultural armor.
why? because you think so?
how about people who farmed their soul off since day 1 and bought them full price?
first karma jugs and now precursors
next we’ll see clovers, lodestones and runestones easier to acquire thanks to people who think they’re entitled to get a legendary only because they want to, while barely working towards it
Many players who currently have legendaries got their precursor for 5-10g. They would like everyone to believe they worked hard for it but that is not the case.
Come on Snow your killing me man. Don’t hop in that crowd of people that assume everyone with a legendary is some kind of snob. Unless you played on every server you don’t know that. I don’t know anyone that will tell you they worked hard for a precursor.
There is nothing hard in the game at all. I think your assuming this. Or you asked a few people I don’t know but that comes off bitter man seriously and if you look at your post history its like you have a grudge against people with a precursor or a legendary. Which means you care how other people play the game if its not how you play the game. That leads to migraines I would think.
I have asked people with legendaries questions about the process and I haven’t had 1 person come off rude.
I do know people will say that the legendary process is long and it is kind of something you force yourself through but when you finish you feel rewarded. If someone got their precursor through the forge a drop or they bought it you still have to go through parts you might not like. Say you might like exploration so map completion is fun for you but for me I don’t like map completion but if I want to complete my legendary I need to do it.
i think my point is quite clear… i don’t count the hours i’ve spent on my legendary but i’m pretty sure the will to farm all these events, to always spend time watching the trading post and finding receipes that are shortly profitable is way beyond what the average player does while whining for his legendary
it’s actually quite simple: give yourself the means to get it or don’t get it
if you think it’s too much random, time or frustration for you then don’t get it, whining on forums shouldn’t be a third option
“I have asked people with legendaries questions about the process and I haven’t had 1 person come off rude. "
i answered tons of questions on legendaries and the process, while even helping people achieving some short term goals (skillpoints, tips about what to buy at the moment etc) and will continue to do so since these people are actually working to get it and request help about the process, they’re not whining on forums while doing nothing because they estimate it’s not worth their time to get a shiny weapon

so let’s punish all the players who worked insanely hard for it because a very small minority actually got them easier because of exploiting or whatever (which would be a late fix anyways considering this was 2 months ago anyways)
this is absolute stupidity, and for the last time nobody is forcing you to farm
you don’t want to spend endless hours getting karma? don’t get a legendary… unlike gw1, there are an immense number of beautiful skins in the game (and some are still undiscovered) for every budget, so you don’t have any reason to complain about not being able to get a legendary
how about buy items when they’re cheap (buying ectos at 20s is stupid), gather orichalcum by yourself (you’ll get it during the time you farm everything else anyways), make lodestone out of cores and get a part of each t6 material stack by crafting clovers?
learn to buy and sell at the right moment, and for god sake when there are multiple ways to get an item go for the cheapest
i’m so pissed off of threads bashing legendaries, and i can’t stand people who think they’re entitled to get a legendary because they want to, you either give yourself the means to do it or you don’t and stop whining, it’s just a game and nobody cares about your frustration
And I am so sick of cheaters coming on the threads and say No No No.
Only 10% of the legendaries now are legit the rest were gained through exploiting and gold buying.
And according to Anet we are entitled to it if you put in the time and skill and dedication.
No one is asking for one to be handed to them and stop making something out of nothing.
All that is asked is for a fair way to obtain them.
Sorry: opening my wallet and clicking forge are not legendary to me and sure as hell not an adventure.
because obviously gold buying and exploiting are the only ways to make money in this game
that dude who posted pics of himself buying black lion chests for less than 10c and selling them for more than 40c on halloween is obviously a cheater and should be banned right?
let me guess, you never made significant profits from the trading post, did you?
if you weren’t even able to make money with the trading post on halloween it’s ludicrous to even think you’re entitled to call out people who farmed for 2 months (almost got my legendary, and i’m amongst those) cheaters
dedication isn’t being stubborn and farming unprofitable events all day long while whining on the forums, it’s actually using your brain to find more efficient ways to make money
as for the 10%, is that an official percentage or did you just made that up according to what you think?

He has somewhat of a point though. Because if a legendary was given by killing 100,000 mobs, it would be a standard that we could all compare to. If someone can buy one, no one should admire him/her for it.
Legendaries are meant for prestige, but because of the questionable or easy ways to get them, they often are looked down upon rather than celebrated.
It is an MMO. Everything is easy.
The only true measurement is time.
Farming karma takes time.
Making Gold takes time.
Making $ takes time.
I can’t play videogames 14hrs/day like I use to, I spend my time working while others spend their time playing. Buying gold with gems (and gems with gold) is an equalizer for both parties.
Farming karma probably takes the most time and is why I will not get a Legendary nearly as soon as others. It is the 1 requirement that isn’t equalized. He spent 700+ hours in game (or afk at champ select? idk). That’s a ton of time dedicated to the game.
Edit: Another thing to consider, since all I have been doing is Karma farming during my free time….
1 CS Event is 354 Karma.
Assume 1 million karma per Legendary.
2,825 Events to complete.
1.86 Silver per event.
52.55 Gold in just event money.
Tons more money acquired through items obtained, if you are great with tagging creatures you can easily obtain an average of ~5+ more silver per event, or a total of 141.25 more gold. (83 with karma boosters)
Easily acquire 193.75 gold per 1 million Karma farmed.
If you use Karma boosters (including the +50% one from BLT), you would get around 114 gold.
