Years later they added a way to fully skip levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaquille Oatmeal.2976 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 @Spamwagon.1972 said:Honestly - I HATE the requirements to acquire the griffon mount. I don't want to do them, and frankly - I won't, EVER do them. However, I would like the advantages of a griffon mount, and would be happy to pay real money to get them. Please offer the griffon mount on the real money transaction store for whatever you feel is an appropriate price. I am certain that many people would appreciate it. Let me reiterate - I will NEVER..... NEVER do the current requirements for the griffon mount.NEVER. It actually makes me angry.Yikes, playing MMORPG and can't grind a simple mount. It just means you shouldn't play these types of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fractals alone are 10-20g+ a day. I get ~15+g a day from T4 dailies+Recs without selling materials, it all comes from selling the "trash" items from the boxes, extra fractal boxes, and infusions. You can sell excess materials you don't need and matrixes (a full stack is ~90g before tax). If you aren't at t4, just play a support with what ever ascended gear and no one will generally care, you'll get ascended armor/weapon boxes overtime that you can just swap the stats on for a dps. Then there's the 2g a day from the daily before selling any materials as well as daily login rewards that can be turned to gold. I hoard all materials and I still make plenty of gold on the days I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 i'm at t1, i don't have ascended gear at all, only accesories. I'm in the process of getting back item and helmet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondarrion.2748 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Angry rant makes OP look foolish, GW2 must never turn to p2w... not even for convenience items like mounts. Just play the game - otherwise you will not have the griffon. Simple as that. Throwing a tantrum on here just made you look ... well, childish.

Teratus.2859 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 When you break it down the Griffon requires only 2 things tbh..Time and Gold.The latter of which you can obtain with gem to gold conversion so it's not like there isn't an option to pay real money to get it if you really want to do that.I enjoyed the collection overall, It was definitely a worthwhile reward for such a big quest.Imo there should be more long quests with high quality rewards at the end in Gw2.

ChillyKoti.1928 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The only thing that was a bit annoying with its collection was the bounty ones, because you need a group to do it (I'm not a formidable player that can solo everything).Aside of that, you just need to find some eggs in the map and buy some collectible; really not hard. Like someone has mentioned earlier, Dulfy has a very nice guide for the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not finished the solo story for core. I did finish (solo, which surprised me -- yeah, did die a lot) for the griffon because I wanted it, but I didn't get it right away because I had to farm for the gold.I do believe that ANet's intent is for the story content to be completed solo. I have learned that I am simply not that good at MMO to be of the caliber necessary to do so. I have had guildies help with some of the chapters.

yusayu.3629 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It's not much more difficult than any other collection aside from the gold requirement.

Dami.5046 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Heaven forbid what we will need to do for the next mount. I have no idea why people think they should just be given stuff just because. This time round I've farmed 600g and been gathering everything and anything just in case. I also will have to do it on another account.Dami is ready.Be more like Dami.

finkle.9513 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 clearly they wanted to make it a rare mount, a mount that requires a effort above the normal... they where never going to make everyone happy, always going to be moaning kids that want everything now and are not prepared to work for it.

AlexVv.3965 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I fully understand OP. I made a collection on the griffon shortly after the release of PoF, but this was the most boring and irritable employment, I was doing in GW2. I hate jumping puzzles, I do not like all these "collections", it does not bring me any pleasure.I do not think that selling for real money is a good idea, but in my opinion it would be nice to simplify its receipt. Enough time has passed since the release of the extension. Now everyone has griffons, this is no longer a matter of pride or prestige, and make their getting easier for newbies - why not.

Spamwagon.1972 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 I still am having a seriously hard time getting stuff done to get my griffon. I have spent multiple hours trying desperately to find groups to do the group stuff. There just aren't enough people playing, or rather, enough people playing who are interested in helping some random person.I AM a random person. Keep that in mind before you flame me. I don't know anyone who plays. I can't talk about it at work because I work in a field (nuclear) that despises "gaming". So its a little pastime for me that is essentially secret.I have been a member of many guilds - but generally, a guild is comprised of a tight group of insiders, and people like myself, who are just "flies" zipping in and out, who really aren't of any consequence, but are invited to maintain/push the aggregate guild "level".

Spamwagon.1972 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 People like me. Who aren't big gamers, we don't have the same kind of accessibility to different game modes that other folks do. I have tried to put out a blanket request for help - but really, how many folks are going to come help some dude they don't know - at this late state of the game? There isn't a herd of folks like me to join up with - just the regulars.It's very lonely, and I need help. I think I need developer help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
