Guild Wars 2

Wait, 240k Karma is hard ? I had that much and more after hitting level 80 just from leveling up a single main character. I outright bought 4/5 Karma vendor gear without blinking or farming karma once and I still have 180k left on my character. I have no clue what to do with the junk.

I then transmuted all those Karma items (with the wrong stats) over to my crafted exotic gear which I got like 1 week after hitting 80. I ran FotM in pugs up to level 31, got my Ascended backpiece and 2 Ascended rings, 30 Agony resist because I threw them into the MF to get them (infused) all in little under 2 months of playing this game.

I also skinned my crafted weapons with dungeon skins, all of them. Oh yeah and I used some Karma for Ebonhawke skins. Reskinned my bow 3 times. I have a abyss dye, pitch, and midnight purple design I like a lot, all bought off the TP.

With no alts to help with dailies or other crud (multiple map completion).

And you’re saying this game is grindy ? I haven’t even started grinding for anything and already I’m full exotics, 3/4 Ascended, infused, superior runes, exotic jewels, heck exotic underwater weaponery.

No seriously, I played Vanilla WoW. A year into it, I was just barely getting into a guild competent enough to run Molten Core up to Rag (not on farm) in 3 nights. I was pigeonholed into a buff/cleanse/healbot because “That’s what Paladins do”. After 6 months of running Molten Core, I still didn’t have 8/8 Lawbringer. I still wasn’t BiS (and far from it seeing how Blackwing Lair was already launched).

And you say GW2 IS GRINDY ?

Get over yourself, this game is casual city. It’s a freaking walk in the park. Heck, the only way to make “less grindy” at this point is to basically mail you the Exotics you want out of a catalog, all free, the minute you zone into Shaemoor on day 1 or something.
