You mean , like the positivity between the hardcore and casual side ? Like the treat each other , like they have a disease ? What matter is creating more content/server staying alive . And re-using assets that people after 6 years haven't still got (and never will) , is an easyway to go Edited August 27, 2021 by Captain Kuro.8937 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many folks would gain from an ow set? No clue honestly, we wont ever know, its all assumptions either way. Then again Gen 2 weapons had a much lower percentage of players obtaining them compared to Gen 1, and anet is making a gen 3 now. I wonder if more folks will make those, time will tell! Yes, but gen 2 legendaries are more loved as far as i can tell. The fact that less people have them is not really a problem. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there’s other players who would rather go on forums and create a 24 pages long polemics thesis about how they are too of a special needs class kid to go the same route as everyone else. Fascinating. If you put the same effort you put into this pointless thread, you’d be halfway through into getting your desired legendary. It’s the mentality of some people to think everything evolves around them and they are better than others. So if they don’t like something they expect it to be changed so they are pleased. Instead of doing the same things others did to get legendary armor they come to the forum to complain. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Have you considered people just wanting to share the thing they enjoy to more people. people do not like raids. it's been years since they were released. deal with it Quote Honeslty, it might be healthier to have less afk, but that is a whole different topic. No, it's exactly this topic. first your looking at it from a player perspective. but why rewards are implemented is a dev perspective question. Quote Also we dont just reward time, we reward engagement. (why we have sbronze, silve, gold event completions.) silver gold and bronze are pointless in pvp nor it's required to get anything in pvp Quote Incentives are added because pvp needs a critical mass of people to function. they should add bots like in every pvp deathmach game Quote But you would also remove potential future players of the gamemode who are interested in doing it after having tried it. you know which is the most hated part of crafting a weapon for pvers ? the wvw gift . but when they get it they try wvw and pvp. Quote Why would someone engage with the gamemode if their forced into it? "motivational reward" are forcing player into a gamemode that's why they hate Quote Do you think the majority of pve players doing pvp for the armour afk? if not afk with the lesser effort possible Quote No, and i already explained why motivational rewards do more. i disagree but not trying to change your mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What abomination ? You are simply saying over and over again that they don't deserve Legendary Gear . I am telling them , that they have a choice: a) Get the new-Legendary Skin (same as Raids) , but for every 2 pieces you get your trasmute cost , increase by +1 b) Do not get it . c) Get it , and the long run if you hate the cost , upgrade it by getting the HoT raids/PvP/WvW or delete it .

It's reusing the same assets that are already there (OW content) to get legendary items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I wish anet gives an option to craft a legendary armor a generic one but not tied to any open world PvE achievements or events or npcs or wvw or pvp or raids.. provided there shd be no unique skin or collection involved and no lore involved (like the weapons we craft in mystic forge with mystic coins eg: courage) with just material sink.. so ppl who hate raids and would like to enjoy the QOL of legendary gear would get it... in the meanwhile if ppl who are willing to put that extra effort in raids to get the cool looking skin legy armor can do raids... and also ppl who already got raid armors might not feel like its a redundant waste of mat sink and bothersome legy journey to pursue just for a skin and lore reasons.(might feel incomplete if we own a legy armor already and we followed a ccollection or lore and stop it just before crafting a legy so no lore shd be involved no collection shd be involved for this generic legy armor).. its a win win for everyone... items to forge a legy armor piece: mystic tribute gift of maguuma mastery or desert mastery gift of living world currencies(eg: 250 of each lws currency) Ascended armor piece Note: anet can make adjustments based on how much mats shd be involved in each items ... like gift of maguma mastery could be an overkill or less.. they can adjust so dont get your feathers ruffled that i mentioned that item 2 in the list for an armor piece Edited August 27, 2021 by Crystal Paladin.3871 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
