[Posibility to have Unstable Fractal Essence contribute towards Fractal God]

Doing the CMs is already cutting down the time by 364 less days, no need to further cut down the time from CMs. Personally I think fractal god does not take to long. I like that it is a long time goal, if you do CM + T4 daily it will take you 266 days from zero, 230 days if you do recs to. Now try to do God of WvW and we are talking grind. 

[Antique Summoning Stones]

Limit is actually 12 per week if you do the Daily Dragon's End Meta. It's alot better than other time-gated content as the Antique Summoning Stones are Tradeable. Just another 25 Weeks to get enough Legendary Insights to finish my Armor...

You expect people to do Dragon's End meta every day, but at the same time uses 25 weeks on something that takes 6 weeks to finish from 0. Do not know why you compare stones to armor (raid one since you use insights as currency), full set of armour is timegated to 6 weeks.

[Location of Antique Dragon's Drape?]

You can get all the armour for the collection at the Jade Vault merchant in the Seitung Monastery or reward tracks.

[G3 Legendary Weapons are a lot harder to get]

They're actually half as expensive as G1 and G2 Legendaries but because of the short supply since the expansions been out literally a week it appears they're more expensive. Black Lion is a poor indicator of the prices. Antique Summoning Stones shouldn't have an easier way of getting them. You get 5 a week and if you want more you buy them from others who don't want them.

How are they half the price. Antique Summoning Stone alone costs as much or more than G1/ G2 weapons. Currently buy price, not sell price is 19,53 gold, or 1953 gold for 100. You can not exclude that item just because you can acquire it yourself, that is true for all the materials needed for all weapons. Most expensive gen 2 weapon now is 1902 gold, and 14 of the gen 1 weapons is bellow Antique Summoning Stone cost. Now we are not counting the other costs of the gen 3 weapon.

[Portal Tomes for EoD]

When you get to the third zone in the story you would get a portal scroll to Arborstone, the new hub, kind of like Eye of the North.

[Gating the turtle egg behind the map 4 meta is really sleazy]

Come play guild wars 2. Fight dragons, explore forests, ride turtles.

 

Oh well turtle you will not see unless you are lucky with rng of group of random people after spending one hour on each attempt.

I think this is a super blunder when this is a big advertisement of the expansion.

[Is this a hack?]

Not a hack, there is a glitch where you can go through the wall at a certain spot with mount. Not going to tell which spot, it is widely known and used exploit, do not want to spread it more.

[After today's patch....]

Might be bugged rune of strength giving 125% damage increase, do not know if there are other bugs to in play.

[ascended armor / weapons]

Just salvage or trash them. The game modes that give most of those chests are already the most efficient ways to earn gold in the game. No need to inflate the income of said content.

 

Also the value of ascended gear for a new player would be so much lower, with market being flooded by ascended boxes, ascended would be the new exotic gear. I would be surprised if a box would go for more than 5g on the trader if market decide. 

 

Any way my opinion as a person with plenty of surplus chests and salvaged ascended gear myself, just leave it at it is. Already got all the reward I could wish for doing the content that dropped those chests.
