Precursor Legendary Armor via Crafting Not Gated to Raid, WVW, or PVP for EoD

[offence.4726]

Few people talked here about how painful it is to get the Legendary Armor through ranked PVP , so i'm going to put down my 2cents and educate y'all.

 

First of all the raiding leggy is easy as cake as long as you get into a guild that raid trains and then puts you into a weekly roster , the WvW one takes the longest time but it is casual playing for pips in a zerg. Now onto the PVP armor ? Basically you have to endure atleast 3 5v5 seasons filled with BOTS , AFKERS , dcers and toxic people that play against you every game in order to get those ascended shards and league tickets , you need the stomach of a WOLF to endure that much pain and especially nowdays with the PVP scene being this dead.

 

So when I see a topic like this about anet giving players an easier route ? I only have 2 words HELL NO , you need to put the effort in and by that I mean you need to waste hundreds of hours in order to get it like everyone else , this is the biggest achievement in this game and has the most prestige tied into it.

 

Ascended armor is easily obtainable and has access to easy stat swap and cheap so you shouldn't complain about not getting the leggy one if you are too casual , even exotic armor is good enough for anything open world related. I would easily take the skyscale grind anyday on other characters compared to what I had to endure for the PvP leggy armor so stop dreaming about it becoming easily craftable and not time gated.

 

On a last note I want to say one thing about both WvW and PvP max rank transmogs and the RAID armor , I really wouldn't want to be tied into one "cosmetic" effect for life especially in a game like GW2 aka FashionWars2 , there are so much more spectacular skins and mix and matches that trump all of these skins it's not even funny , leggy armor is for QOL changes and never for the cosmetics.

 

That is all.

I dunno about wolf's stomachs, but I would say that with me just doing dailies in rankeds, I am making relatively faster progress towards legendary armor in scale of time than I did when throwing similar amounts of time at wvw.

 

As for those bots afkers dcers and toxic people - at which leagues are you usually playing?

because with my perfectly average silver, I am failing to see afkers, get only handfull of "toxic" people a season, and like one ragequiter a season on average. Can't say about bots per se, because overally I am unable to tell apart bots from really bad players. And then there are players so bad that bot would be of more contribution xD.

 

Not sure what you mean with that pvp scene being "this dead".

I am plat 1 and generally hover at G3 through the season due to the fact that I play as many games as possible and mornings due to my busy IRL schedule and I have an entire notepad list with bot names / accounts that I reported over the past season and nothing happened  , the situation is the same in this 3v3 season as well .

 

I didn't even know the silver bracket still existed tbh , not trying to bring you down or anything. Fact of the matter is , it was a gruesome grind against all odds and the higher league you play in the harder and the more toxic the games go.

Can i get the gen 3 legendary weapons not gated behind spam 1 open world and instead require winning pvp matches, wvw and completing raids.

To be honest open world has access to way to many rewards for how brain dead it is.

Silver league is where those people that get 5 wins 5 looses on the placement matches land 😉

 

But then I suppose it's just the thing with people up there in plat being much more competitive in mindset and bringing out all the bad stuff out of people (and I suppose with how it works if bot spams sufficient amount of matches, it could mantain it's rank over there, especially considering quality of lower league players ^-^').

I usually calibrate every season in gold 3 honestly but I guess silver league is a thing , also there are bots in plat aswell and the toxicity rises with the ranks all in all it was the most painful experience to me and i'm a day 1 vanilla player who has quite a few leggy's and has seen some better days.
