Kralkatite Ore

[Mordule Standish.2371]

This should be available from anywhere there is branded from Iron Marches to Blazeridge Steppes where we fight the Shatterer through the Fields of Ruin. Also from Desert Highlands to Vabbi. Why do we have to farm chests to get something that should be abundant in those maps?

Because its a map specific currency for LS season 4.

[Illconceived Was Na.9781]

The old maps are set in the past, before Kralk absorbed the power of Balthazar (among others), so arguably Kralk Ore wouldn't be found there, regardless of it being a currency for LS4.

It's a bit of a shame that GW2 nowadays uses "frozen in time"-design, too. Gone are the days of LS season 1 and 2 where the world *actually* changed as events played out.

This is pretty much my response to the "frozen in time" design:

Correct although interestingly, one of the collection trophies (the one you need 10 of, i forget the name) does drop from Branded in PoF maps.

In a way it is, but it was an unsustainable model for an MMO. New players would miss so much and it would put undue pressue on regular players to play constantly so as not to miss out on any changes. Whilst the current model has completely removed the Living World concept, it is healthier for the game.
