Guild Wars 2

First of all: Please excuse my English, I am not a native speaker. Writing from my mobile does not make this better ;-)

Just read about the upcoming gear additions and I am not happy about it. Here is why:

1. This is the first step in introducing an item treadmill. Something I really hoped not to see in GW2. I really liked the idea that after reaching a certain item level it was all about cosmetics.

2. To make the item treadmill even worse we are now forced to farm resistance gear. One of the worst experiences in WoW, when every new instance required a special resistance. Acquiring it usually wasn’t something you can call fun.
Plus this makes it much harder to pause playing GW2, e.g. for playing another game, and return afterwards. Especially when you add full resistance sets, it will be very hard for those players – and the more casual ones in general – to join others since most people tend to go the easy route, which means you will have a hard time finding a group without a certain level of resistance gear.

3. I don’t like the Mystic Forge due to it’s dependency on luck.
