Excellent. Next step for your mental health, and I mean this with all due respect: get off of MMO forums/subreddits/etc. You'll be much happier.- 188 replies

If everyone got the valuable drop, it'd no longer be a valuable drop. Look at "rare" (the item type) gear in GW2. It used to be "rare" and "valuable," but now it comes from everywhere and is worth relatively little. Even most exotic gear is worth almost nothing now versus when it was actually rare. And I don't know what you mean by inequality and unfairness in GW2. Everything you need to succeed at GW2 is available with minimal effort, no RNG, and extremely cheaply. Cosmetics aren't a "need." They're a nicety. If you want inequality and unfairness, again, let me point you to try Aion Classic (and other KMMOs). Edit: Going to be straight with you, dude. Maybe MMOs aren't the genre for you. For your mental health, I recommend not trying to play MMOs anymore. -

I'm not meaning personal love/hate. I'm meaning effectiveness/strength ("suckage") for the new weapon sets. Ranger is eating good with mace(s) when it comes to damage/utility. (That said, WHERE'S MY RIFLE/PISTOL?? I don't have good bonk weapon skins!) 👀we could always be engi shortbow. -

Sorry, just now saw this. The other fun parts of Gen2: requires max legendary crafting mastery (core Tyria) + max HoT/(and I think PoF) masteries. Lots of map specific currencies in HoT Gen2s. Probably other stuff I've forgotten. Last Gen2 weapon I made was Pharus or Xiaquatl a couple years ago, and I'd long maxed out HoT/PoF stuff by then, plus had a ton of their currencies. Map comping HoT isn't too difficult; having to do it on a different char each time kind of sucks. I hate hearts for map comp and avoid PoF, except for Vision. Some people like raids more than strikes. Some people like strikes more than raids. It's not strange. It's pretty normal. If you're going for raid (or OW) armor, you're going to want to start getting your provisioner's tokens now. Those are timegated. But...legendaries are supposed to be like this; they're the end of any kind of gear grind (sans the weird thing with future relics) because the legendary armory got rid of the need to make multiple sets, with no RNG drop to gate them the way other games do and don't get invalidated with each expac. Honestly, OW legendary armor is nowhere near as bad as people think. You don't need 36 map comps unless you're making all 36 pieces at once, and you're an absolute madlad if you do do that (you know who you are! lol). It's expensive, but not horrible. -

Ranger is very, very, very happy with mace/dual maces, I think mesmer has a nice heal chrono build with rifle, and there are some fun builds that Ele pistol has benefited from, and those are just off the top of my head. Theorycrafting has been awkward because the Arcdps dev was gone on vacation or something, and there's a balance patch next week, which will change how some things work. I'm a casual player. I take my time with things because I've learned the hard way that hypergrinding and hyperfocusing on legendaries in this game is a fast track to burnout. If it takes me 12+ weeks of casual play to get an open world set, well, that's not too bad. It's still less time/effort/energy than a single set of WvW and PvP armor (minimum 18 weeks at ~15+ hours a week for WvW), let alone raid armor (I have the raid light armor set; I hate raids, I'm not going back to do them for 10-12 weeks for another set). -

Hold on, I need to write down that disconnecting elite profession weapons from the elite professions and new weapons entirely that have shaken up the meta even more (functionally the equivalent to elite specs) are nothing added to the game via SoTO. -

You've only played WoW and GW2 and have such sprawling knowledge of things and business and MMO mechanics? WoW and GW2, who are both relatively generous when it comes to this onerous genre? Who both have something resembling drop rates, and, at least in GW2's case, has actually increased the drop rate of valuable things several times over the years? /gatekeeper mode on Oh boy, wait until you try some Korean MMOs. That...that will be a very eye opening day for you in the capacity for evil and greed and suffering within the MMO business. In generosity to our Daddy NCsoft overlords, try Aion Classic (the NCWest North American version, not Gameforge) to step your toes into the more vanilla side of the nightmare of KMMOs. (Obviously, it would be nice to have better/alternate ways to guarantee some stuff, like how they did with the frost legion infusion, everbloom infusion, fractal infusions, etc, but, dang, man, this game doesn't hold a candle to what the parent company of Anet + other companies have done to this simultaneously awful and wonderful genre of gaming.) -
It's very, very, very expensive to kit out a home instance (right now, GW2Efficiency has mine valued at ~7k gold with current gem values, and that does not include the enchanted treasure chest, which is another 1.4k gold), and I understand people not wanting to make an investment in something that will take a long time to recoup the efforts for. I don't mind the "Does anyone have a home instance I can loot?" people in map chat because I can empathize with the amount of work/time/cost it will take to get one fully stocked, plus I like sharing. Some people are super nice and tip, too.

Did you...never make a Gen1 legendary? The thing that takes 7+ hours to map comp for, and that ~7 hours was the record? (Yes, I know you get two GoE, and thank god for that) And then you need dungeon currency? (hopefully you have some Tyria currency things; those are nice for skipping dungeons) Or a Gen2, with its immense mat sink of 20k+ elder logs and mithril ore and 250 mystic coins? Can't buy the Gen2s off the TP to skip everything. Astralaria has a timegate in the collection, so make sure you're prepared for that. Also be ready to do HoT and PoF map comp, which both lack lanterns, last I checked, unless Anet recently changed something. WvW is nice for skipping the hero points in HoT/PoF. Doing stuff like pinata and legendary bounties in PoF will help with the funerary incense part for any PoF things. Or a Gen3, with more annoying lanterns than even SoTO could ever hope for? With the appropriately named "A S S"? Or the trinkets, with endless achievements, time gates, and a material cost that is on par with the Gen2 weapons? Can't "skip" all the achievements using WvW, which is a 4+ hour minimum too with boosters and you don't get to grind GoBs during that time, so have fun with Jahai for Vision! Look up the "hidden" achievements to make that one less painful. The Istan Astral weapons timegate is also pretty fun. Get ready to use quite a few guides. Even the Aurene amulet requires a LOT of work to get those Return To achievements done. Or the other legendary armors, which require everything from a minimum of ~5-6 weeks of raids for the first set, or WvW with its 18+ week minimum timegate (at 15 or more hours per week depending on your rank and server's performance) per set, or PvP which I don't know the timegate on? And none of this includes the joy that are legendary runes and sigils! Relic prices will probably maybe go down in the future. (Fractal backpack really wasn't that bad, since I was doing fractals every day already and already had most of the stuff done by the time I started working on the backpack.) Legendaries are a longterm time investment and gold sink, the closest thing Anet has towards a "grind" in a horizontal progression game, especially since you'll never need to get gear ever again once you get those thanks to the legendary armory. Don't try doing everything all at once, and you'll enjoy the process a lot more. You don't need legendaries, and you especially don't need them now. Take your time. Make small goals. Play your game as usual, and you'll have a lot more fun than obsessively chasing the shiny. Like, the OW legendary armor isn't that bad, unless you make the rookie mistake of trying to do everything all at once. You don't need to do map comp 36 times all at once (especially since why are you trying to bang out 36 pieces of armor in a "short time"? Take your time!). -
