It seems most of you are very disappointed by this. When I first saw the introduction to legendary WvW armor and the mistforged version of the ascended armor I already didn't understand why is it locked behind lvl 2000. I'd much prefer unlocking the mistforged skin when upgrading the armor to legendary quality. That would give the WvW legendary armor a unique look. (Same thing with the PvP version). I mean legendary armor should have a unique look to it.I can see that there is no point of grinding WvW rank at this point more than 500. And those of you who did, to unclock the armor can feel disappointed, but looking at the description: "World vs. World ascended armor now requires rank 500" seems like a mistake honestly. It doesn't say mistforged, and the regular ascended armor didn't have a lvl requirement in the first place so I don't know what they inteded to do here.Non the less I'm happy with this because I really like the look of that armor, and this makes it more reasonable to obtain. I mean let's face it lvl 2000 is just obnoxious. Many players who played WvW for years (not religiously, but regularly :D) are still not lvl 2000.And for the argument: "than reduce the PvP requirement as well" - getting to lvl 100 in PvP is so much faster than 2000 WvW, I'd even risk saying faster than WvW rank 500. Plus you still need the tickets, which is yea 11 weeks, but comeon, not many people have the time to max out their pips each week for 11 weeks. It still takes a long time.
