I feel like I'm not alone in saying that, I seriously want there to be a new set of legendary armor in the game. With Anet pushing Strikes and with how challenging they are becoming, the implementation of legendary armor could be a seriously good incentive for players who don't care for WvW, PvP or Raids to see the value in Strikes and see this as a good way to obtain their legendary armor sets.
Right now, if you don't care for WvW, PvP or Raids, you are simply just out of luck for wanting your legendary armor sets. This feels pretty bad since I personally love to try various different builds in Open World and Strikes, but this is such a massive gold sink that really deters me from trying out new builds and elite specs in the first place. I currently own 4 PvP light Legend pieces of armor and it was by far the worst experience I've had playing this game, I did not want to touch PvP in the first place but seeing how it's the ''easiest'' way to obtain the armor I simply had no other option but to put up with ranked PvP.
Right now I really like doing Strikes but the current rewards aren't very enticing. With the value of Mystic Coins plummeting it only gets cheaper to obtain Mystic Clovers too, so they aren't too difficult to get hold of anymore. The Ascended items are.. nice, but are in no way captivating enough to grind Strikes to obtain.
With CM Strikes coming soon, this is the best opportunity to implement the new Legend Armor set. If the big amazing rewards for completing CM Strikes are nothing but a MC, some extra Shards and maybe one or two high tier mats, there would be absolutely no reason to play these asides from just doing it for the fun of it.
Strikes right now are the most fun I'm having with GW2 and I really hope Anet keeps adding more and more to this game mode but it can be incredibly frustrating sometimes not having anything big and long term to work towards, nothing to show my love for Strikes and the long term dedication being put into Strikes.
So please Anet, if you want to make Strikes a primary focus going forward, give us some new Legendary Armor to work towards so we actually have a reason to play Strikes in the long term, because if the rewards aren't going to get absolutely amazing, people will just grow tired of Strikes and move onto something else.
I've attempted this meta 9 times now with only a single success. The amount of time invested in trying to make this meta works just to have it fail really just makes me see how bad this game can really be. This meta is the current big thing to do yet I have only managed to do it once the entire time it's been out. I play absolutely optimal as I possibly could be yet it is meaningless at the end of the 2 hour grind just to be given an empty sunken feeling in your stomach that makes you want to just never play this game again. This new patch is still expecting everyone to play optimal super dps builds which is the absolute worst thing to ever expect an MMO player to do in open world content, especially when it directly effects the success of others. I've had it with DE meta, I don't care about this absolutely horrible meta making me hate this game, the loot isn't even worth it. On top of all of this, the nerfs to Catalyst feel like a massive slap to the face. The spec of Catalyst SUCKED, it wasn't good at all to begin with yet here we are again, nerfing my favorite class over and over. I was willing to move on Tempest getting shafted but Catalyst was the only genuine fun I was having with the game until Anet decided that I was wrong for enjoying the spec. I never thought I'd want to leave this game for a long break but with how bad it feels lately I think its all I can do.
