I miss the guaranteed drops. Why take those away? I mean cool you can buy the stuff, but it would have been better if the buying was more of a on top of thing. The leg chest is cool, but I don't want to buy something like laurels. That's bs to me.
It's literally easier than doing the griffon. Cheaper too by far. It's honestly not that bad. You even get to play games with it to help it grow. If you do not like the grind then why are you even playing? Guild Wars is full of grinding. If you want brainless easy gaming then go play hay day or something.
