For me it's a mixture between 4.) and 5.). I'm not interested in the raids themselves but I would like to have some of the stuff you can get out of them. I'd probably do them if my frends were interested in doing them but I'm not interested in PUGs, there's just too much cancer going around.

Remember those gimmicky weapons you can earn by completing events in some of the older core Tyria maps like the Frost Gun? I'd love to see an endless version of them. I always find myself not using them (or even going after them) because of the simple fact that their use is limited like this for seemingly no reason.

Something mechanical but not "beast themed".

I am strongly In favor of that because it means they would have to implement a new system and could make weapons (and by extension backpacks) dyeable like they should have been right from the beggining.

I dunno, maybe not the feathered wings (since there aren't any angels as far as I know of) but futuristic wings ([like these](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/653/922/large/joshua-carrenca-emperor-battle-armor.jpg?1429912380 "like these")) would fit perfectly into what has been established thus far.

Yes, please! I always felt like there were some severe synergy issues when it comes to stuff like P/P which makes it feel like an unfinished afterthought as a result of it.

I'd also like to see a rework for acrobatics since it's basically just an inferior version of daredevil at this point.

That's beside the point when it comes to balancing and has already been addressed earlier.

>If let's say the legenday sword has a skill that deals more bleeding than the basic skill or adds a combo finisher that a class otherwise wouldn't have acces to, the new legendary sword skill will become "the meta", i.e. the BiS skill to use and thus it will be requested by tryhard groups and all groups who want to "play like the proZ". Even if it's just different and not "stricktly better", like the new legendary skill dealing a new kind of condition or buff, it the skill proves to be better for a given encounter, it will become the meta.

The same logic can be applied to new elite specializations and yet people can't wait to get new ones. Besides, something being meta viable isn't a bad thing unless it's so much better then everything else that it becomes mandatory in which case the problem isn't the weapon having a unique skill set but the generall ballancing in GW2. For example, if class X needs legendary weapon Y to be viable but wouldn't be otherwise then the problem is with class X and not with legendary weapon Y. They would only be a problem if they're pushing something to the point were only it is viable in which case they could still be nerfed afterwards.

> @"lokh.2695" said:

> Same goes here.The new skills would either go down the path of racial skills, i.e. being deliberately worse than basic skills and only for flavor. Or, if they were better, you'd find yourself in a GW2 world of "Bannerslave w. Leg. Sword and Horn"-lfg's.

Define better, like I said there wouldn't be much of a competition if they were different enough to be an alternative and not just "the same but better". Also, there wouldn't be any reason to treat them like racial skills because the same reasoning they used to justifying their poor performance can't be applied here. We basically already have something like this in the form of griffons so it wouldn't be unprecedented either.

I both agree and disagree with the sentiment of this topic. I do feel like legendary weapons should be more unique when compared to other weapons of the same "category" but I don't think that making them plain better then the rest is the way to go. I'd like to see them getting a set of unique weapon skills, this way they could fill their own niche without making regular weapons obsolete. We already have weapons with unique skill sets so it wouldn't be an entirerly new concept either.

Most of the dynamic events are fun but they generally feel unrewarding, I'd like to see some sort of general reward system like the reward tracks / overall event currency in WvW.

Unless you're playing P/P.

You're confusing money gain / loss with loot value. Farming some of the S3 maps or the silverwastes is "not optimal" loot, the vast majority of world bosses give you bad loot. "Only WvW survived despite being an "unrewarding" drain on your pocket", not "Only WvW survived despite having bad loot".

Which is bad loot. Doing random stuff in maps like harathi hinterlands is already way more profitable than doing the vast majority of world bosses and yet people are still farming them.

Killing the svanir guy was never profitable and yet people are still farming him to this day.

World bosses disagree.

PvP needs massive improvements in regards to both casual and competitive environments. I'd love to play in highly customized PW locked rooms deathmatch vs. my friends with our PvE builds but as of right now that's simply not possible. :

I'd like to say PvP but the modes I want to play don't exist in this game and there is an extreme lack of customizability.

I'd also like to say fractals / dungeons but the people I want to play them with are almost never online.

So I guess OW dynamic events it is.

I'd like to see more futuristic looking stuff, we have an entire race of highly individualistic magitek experts and somehow an extreamly limited variety of weapons + one set of gem store exclusive skins is all they can do. Like c'mon A-Net, I can't be the only person who would like to have something [like this](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/09/19/32/091932937a0f32568cc21984e62eb65f--rwby-oc-fogo.jpg "like this") for their holosmith.

I did, it was just very situational and now it's straight up useless. Also, they basically turned it into a Shadow Arts trait. The least thing they could have done is to turn it into something that actually fits the specialization...

With the old version you could stack up around 10-15 vuln permanently with just autos depending on your crit and if you had quickness.

Because it's impossible for them to release a balance patch without nerfing thief in some way.

Of course they can, only certain items can't be sold but Kralkatite Ore isn't one of them.
