Chapell.1346 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I know that it has been a quite the discussion in the past (remind me if not) but, is there a probability of chances based on the current algorithm that i could outright buy a Second Generation Legendary weapon(s) thru item generation via underground production or related to your favorite e-commerce store that has been integrated or inbuilt server side using Gems or be it real life currency based on the countries monetary value? what are your thought? 2 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapell.1346 Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 am not trying to de-value others time investment since the path of getting one is quite the mental challenge but if we could systematically place it right such as placing or selling it cost the seller some gems while the buyer will be place into a fair and reasonable cost that could be a win-win on the middle ground, and am sure there might be others that has better and more precise idea than mine but who knows, since hearing other voices is quite a rarity these day. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Is this just an oddly-worded way of saying you'd like 2nd generation legendaries to be tradable, like the 1st generation ones? Or is there more to it? If it's the first one then I think it's highly unlikely given Anet chose to make all legendaries after the first set of weapons account bound on acquire. I doubt they'd go back on that decision now. If you're asking for something else can you explain what you mean? I can't speak for anyone else of course but I really don't understand what you're proposing here. What "current algorithm" are you referring to? What is "item generation via underground production"? by "your favorite e-commerce store that has been integrated or inbuilt server side" do you mean the current gem store, or are you proposing a new system? 13 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindly, you created a unique thread for a specific idea. I think the job falls on you to explain it in full detail. Giving homework to other forum users is not the way to go, I don't think. Although, I do have a hard time understanding what you are trying to say. You cannot and will not be able to buy legendaries with real money, outside the first generation. That being said, you can choose to throw a lot of money at the game and buy many of the ingredients which could make acquiring a second generation weapon all that much easier. Beyond that, though, no luck, I'm afraid. 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Don't fully understand what your asking for with this item generation and whatnot, but no the second generation of legendaries should NOT be allowed to be tradable like the first are. Anet themselves have admitted that they didn't intend for even the first gen to be tradable on the TP and would change those if it weren't too late. Don't expect them to be willing to allow second gen to be tradable. Also, its silly and rather irresponsible to refer to a completely separate thread and have people "try to put the pieces together" when its on you to better word your request.

That thread is just as incomprehensible, and points out some unpleasantness in certain posts. At least, that's the pieces I put together. But, I will say (from parsing, I think, the mumbo-jumbo from the first post), that if you want to buy a Legendary with Gems/cash, you need look no further than the Chinese client. Good luck.

Astralporing.1957 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'm afraid the only thing i understand from the initial suggestion is that OP probably doesn't want us to know what is being proposed, which is why that sugestion is being written in a very roundabout and ambigious way. @OP: Perhaps saying straight what you want to achieve might be a far better idea if you expect any sort of positive reaction. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be Chapell's way of writing across all their posts. Perhaps they are using Google translate to post English from their native language? It has that feel to me. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His writing sort of looks like those word salad comments I see on YouTube that you don't realize are complete gibberish until you read them. I wonder what he would be collecting content for with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i am generally among the first to support alternate forms of obtaining stuff like legendary gear, on the list of the available options TP would be somewhere near the very bottom (and generally as something to consider only after all other options have failed for some reason). And Gemshop would be even lower than that. I think, that TP/gemshop options for already existing legendary gear is not something that would benefit the current game at all - especially for gen2 weapons, that were designed specifically around them not being available that way. I'd be far more interested in discussion about having alternate legendary options per type for all main game modes (with both hardcore and non-hardcore option for PvE mode). Notice, that it does not necessarily require expanding accessibility of already existing legendaries - it could also be achieved through introducing new ones of the same type. By this reasoning, i feel that legendary weapons already have a TP option (gen1 ones), and if Anet were to ever introduce gemshop legendaries (which i hope won't happen), i'd fully expect them to have their own skins, and not be duplicates of already existing ones.

genjonah.1253 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I am firmly against any legendary gear being able to be bought (including gen1 final products, although I realize that’s an argument I am never going to get ANet to change their minds on after so long) alternate ways that STILL require SIGNIFICANT account bound playtime? Sure, by all means make more Fractal, Raid, PvP/WvW paths. Go for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I want to earn Legendary gear by harvesting trees in Cursed Shore. Unfortunately ANet won’t unlock this for me. i guess you can’t always get what you want and sometimes you have to play the game as designed to get your shinies. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
