Guild Wars 2

I agree. It won’t take forever until “level 80 with full ascended only” parties start to pop up.
And I really don’t like that nagging feeling that even though my gear is exotic and 99% the same as ascended, it’s still worse.

At the very least, make ascended gear available through tokens. Although, that’d make all the other dungeons obsolete, unless they too give ascended gear, which would make crafting worse because it’d be the only way not to get them.

Blegh, just remove ascended gear.

Traveler’s, explorer’s etc… Items which lose 41% of their stats in exchange for a better chance for better drops.

A player using +magic find will be less useful for the group than a player who doesn’t, not just slightly less useful, but actually around 20% less useful on average, when taking into account base stats and armor ratings.
Some might argue, that the player using +magic find compensates for this by playing better, but that’s a pointless argument, since it assumes that +magic find is only used by people who are around 25% better or more energetic than those who don’t.

Let’s look at this dilemma a bit closer.
If it’s needed to use +magic find, it means that the game itself is flawed in a way, that the drops are worse than they should normally.
If +magic find is not needed, then why give a monetary advantage to people who do less than the others?
Also, if having 41% less stats on your armor is enough, and anything over that is excess, wouldn’t it mean the game is flawed, because the content is too easy, or that there shouldn’t even be that “extra” 69% stats in the first place.
either case, everything points toward +magic find as something that shouldn’t be in a balanced game.

This only applies to armor, weapons and accessories. You don’t remove anything by using consumables.

a 1000 gems, that’s about 10g atm. I’d say 500 gems would be a better price, but… still I really want this option. I didn’t know anything about how to make a character, and now I’ve already spent over 100g on my main. It really sucks that he looks… stupid. Have to wear helmets all the time, and only ones which cover everything.
People say the sylvari t3 heavy armor looks good, but it really doesn’t on mine.

What I want is a way to save dungeon progress so it’ll give me an opportunity to get past that bugged last door or boss. A single non-completion means I need 20 bags of wondrous goods to get back what I lost, not exactly a nice thing to even attempt at farming.
So no, I don’t think these bags fix dungeons, but atleast they’re a step in the right direction.
