Legendary equipments are not a option when you enjoy playing endgame PvE content. Anet patches many times a year impacting rotations, builds and equipments. Players involved in a static usually maintain 10 or more builds they have to modify regularly to adapt to each encounter/patch.

The people hardcore enough to do that likely already have legendary equipment, or already have a ton of ascended equipment sets ready to go and chilling in their bank/inventory while they may or may not be working on legendary equipment, especially since most of the meta builds on things like Snowcrows are berserkers/vipers/harriers/ritualists gear. (and then you have ascended armor/weapons being stat swappable with the mystic toilet) 

Probably 99% of the time, for 99% of the playerbase, they won't have to worry about more than one or two sets of gear and access to exotic weapons, even if they're playing endgame PvE content in a static.

I would love to know how you complete Gift of Battle reward track in 2-4 hours as several people mentioned... I have tier 6 participation and its not possible to get 20000 points in around 4 hours even with celebration booster.

The boosters + enrichment + guild buff needed to max out WvW reward track XP gain are listed here.

Just put one on the wizards vault. 

Give it a decently high price and done. 

Yes please! I have 10 000 hours in GW2 (played since launch) but haven't got a single legendary due to not playing PvP (hate it and will never play it in any game!). There is no way for a player to work towards one without doing PvP.

I've never managed 2-4 hours, but I've done it in about 6 hours. I already had T6 participation at the start of that (I try not to let it drop too much) and used celebration boosters, guild enhancement and XP boosters.

 The XP boosters make the biggest individual difference (+50%) and you can get the masterwork version for 1 laurel each. They stack duration so you can use a bunch of them when you start to save having to keep using them as you're playing.

I know this is like kicking a dead horse, but I have made my last legendary weapon. There’s a ton more I like to make, but with the current system where I have to play world versus world to get the gift of battle I’m done. I tried world versus world again. It’s kitten and anet you need to figure something out for people that don’t play world versus world to get the gift battle like I said I made my last legendary weapon and I’m done. I’m done with the whole system of how to get the legendary weapon. It is plain ridiculous. You are forced to play world versus world to get the gift of battle like I say you can’t kick a dead horse anymore than it has been kicked, but I’m tired. I’m tired of the BS. I’m about ready to give up on this game.

On the more serious note, You can become almost full legendary without touching WvW, with the exceptions being Two trinkets and (probably cuz idk if You can craft 2x Coalescence) One ring.

You have OW lege armor, You have Ad Infinitium for backpack, Coalescence for one ring, Story for amulet and TWO sets of legendary weapons that You can get entirely through trading post. Unless You go specificly for Gen 2 skin You are good to go. If for any reason you go for Gen 2 weapon than sorry but it's a "You Problem". Diffrent modes have diffrent skins. I don't except to get Oblivion Scythe skin from WvW, I go to raids to get it. It is Your problem and Your decision if You want go for something in the game or not, it is not the flaw in design. If You have a problem with that than the exit door are open.

This goes both ways. There might also be ppl playing WvW exclusivly and drowning in Gifts of Battle, yet being short on everything else since WvW ain't very profitable. People keep asking for different ways to acquire GoB or make it tradeable, but after almost 12 years I guess it's save to say, Arena.Net has no intention to change the current implementation.

Everyone's free to decide wether a legendary is so important for him/her to do something out of ones comfort zone, or just skip it. (Hint: besides Gen. 2 leggies, you can even go and just buy them right of the TP)

Just set your wizard vault category to WvW to get the bonus reward track progress.
Do the dailies 5-10 min a day for a week or two by flipping camps, capturing land points, etc. (Essentially PvE [with some danger]).

It really isn't that hard. You may not like it. But it's just part of the leggy grind.

People who play WvW are required to play PvE after all. It's a two way street.

I really hate this game sometimes or maybe I just hate some of the people in it for somebody that hates world versus world Feel that you’re forced to play it to get the gift of battle. I’m just saying there should be a different way of getting the gift of battle but since I get slammed or being teased and so on maybe I should just quit this game. It’s really BS that certain people have to put people down.

That might be becouse Your unwillingness to give any constructive argument why it should be implemented. Nor You are even trying to answer any argument that was given to You. Instead You are going with "Becouse I am forced" (while You are not, as I stated above You can get 90% of all legendary equipment outside of WvW), or You are threatning with leaving the game, just like 10 year old kid throwing a tantrum would do. On the top of that, You are writing on public forums that You hate everyone. Why? Becouse they have other opinion than You do? Maybe someone would take You seriously if, just as I said above, instead of hate and threats, You would come with a constructive argument as for why it should be implemented the way You like it. (No "I hate WvW", is not an argument btw).

Ok maybe this can be another way to get a gift of battle have where u can buy in the raid vendor so to buy the gift of battle it could take 500 magnetite shard 20 mystic clovers 10 mystic coins and 5 spirit shard I think that could be a another way to get the gift of battle

Anet could do something where you buy a bunch of pieces of some item from the WV that, when combined, will give you 1 (one) GoB per WV season (totaling a high AA cost), but, yeah, I don't see that happening anytime soon either since the GoB is part of a core aspect of the game, same with the GoE.

Edit: I said Anet could, not that they would, or even that they should. I think limiting the GoB to WvW is fine, as a whole. I just wish it wasn't 4-6 hours of ticks.

So, by that logic, if anet changed it at some point, it would also be "as designed". And would be equally fine.

Yes ofcourse and since they have not changed it the previous 12 years dont get the hope up that they will do.

If they do then wvw have died completely and this change is made so people can get it at all.

It'd be more like caving to a too-loud minority and unravelling the design.

But sadly, we've already seen them caving to a too-loud minority and unravelling design, when they gave elite specialisation weapons to the entire professions.
