Guild Wars 2

Yea, keep hacking Orbs GoM that will show everyone how good you are. Bring us the heads of those responsible and BG MAY forgive you.

When I was leveling up to 80 with the majority of other Gamers we would call out what DE was going on so that other players had the opportunity to join in so they wouldn’t miss out. I don’t know if that’s changed now or what but it was rarely a problem to complete the events.

Now it’s pretty much 3W or farming CS for more money to 3W.

That is a tough one for sure, but obviously everyone is getting past it.

So, you want a top end damage tanky support? Doesn’t exist sorry.

They do not stack.

Why does every solo crafter think they can compete with Walmart? You have guild crafters that are supported by their guilds and crafting is pretty much their main focus. The guild is supplying them mats and they can afford to take loses to hold a market. The money is always in the epic items and that market is already going to be hard to bust in to.
Please stop competing with walmart and just sell them your materials.

You don’t need crafting. If you sell all of your materials at the TP, odds are that you’ll be able to afford a couple exotic pieces without any problem. Crafted exotics cost little over the sum of materials in most of the cases.

I sold most of my stocked mats for 8g yesterday.

I think you may have misinterpreted my point.

All exotic gear is equal to each other. Exotic chest piece = another exotic chest piece.

I don’t really have a probelm with that.

But the amount of time required to get a different exotic (for purely cosmetic reasons) is the problem with the lack of being able to solo for it. To get a piece of exotic gear, which is of equal value, requires dozens of dungeon runs.

Now before you say GW1 had a ton of grind to it, a lot of GW1’s grind was also solo…and you could achieve the grind in multiple ways. In GW1 you could farm gold, farm missions, do hardmodes for more rewards or do stuff like underworld for direct materials for armors.

But in GW2, you can only do dungeon grinds for the vast majority of exotic gear.

Thing is you can get MAX level 80 gear without grinding so anything else is for kitten and COSMETICS nothing more therefore there IS a GRIND for kitteners and COSMETIC freaks. Nothing in dungeons is REQUIRED thus GRIND isn’t REQUIRED. If you grind you CHOOSE to grind you don’t have to. Thus Anet told the truth because there is NO GRIND to LEVEL 80 or level 80 Max gear.

I’m not sure how you got your level 80 exotic gear but I am still grinding for mine… You need to either:

1. Get it by crafting
a. Level up a crafting profession (major grind)
b. Get enough ectos and fine crafting mats for a full set of armor (major grind)

2. buy it from the TP. Costs about 12 gold, more gold then i’ve made after playing 100 hours.

3. Grind 100+ dungeon runs

Sorry really not seeing how you can get max level gear without grinding…

Yea? you don’t see how? So yesterday when I got off work I had 1 gold 39 silver. I sold all of the crafting materials from my bank that I had from my leveling experience to 80. I then had 12 Gold, I bought my set and decided to finish discoveries for a couple zones to get 2 exotic weapons and about 45 silver per completion. There’s the Frost zone and 3 zones in Orr that you can do this for. Do you see it now? Are you a crafter? No? Sell that crap and buy your sets.

Probably because the stat set you want would be very OP, I think toughness, vit, cond would become THE set to get for many and would really hurt the precision/power setups some people like to play. Hey, what do I know, I’m no game designer or anything.

Sure sounds like a good PvE game the way you introduce it. Except the PvE portion of the game is really only the leveling process to play in a competitive PvP game. All of the vistas and dynamic event and such will be swept aside in favor of the PvP system after you reach 80. That is, unless you just continue to reroll alts. It does seem to have impressive PvE for the leveling process but if you expect it to have this focus for month/years to come it certainly seems you are mistaken on the direction this game takes.
