Norbe.7630 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 just change the reward track to GoB part 1-4, then all 4 must be completed to form one perfect GoB. i drooled for the Fractal legendary backpack inspite of the 2 leg backpack i have, the pvp and wvw ones, let them take time on our mode, they didnt have to use the LFG to start getting it, its up to them how they will get the Gift of Battle without doing any battle at all. But the hackers though, they get the awesome Gift of Exploitation in WvW, its a godly item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing away a precursor is stupid hyperbole, but I've got precursors that have been sitting in the bank for years (I wasn't in a rush, I was taking my time). I've got the materials and funds on hand to build a couple legendaries, but I have no interest in playing WvW, whatsoever. I haven't complained about it because ArenaNet makes the rules, but it is frustrating. I was planning on spending the several thousand Badges of Honor I have on Gifts of Battle (could have bought 10+), but the vendor was removed and I had no idea that was going to happen. Chastise me for not knowing about the change if you want, but I've got too much going on in my life to devote much attention to GW2 news and rumors. Sell the mats and precursors and BUY a legendary then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean when all the complaints about the complaints began with unvisionary statements like: "You don't see me complaining about having to do boring PvE" (which is totally a complaint) or "I have to do 40 hours of exploration (slow much?) and WvW only needs 5? (also a lie)" instead of progressive ideas like "let everyone do what they want and exchange rewards freely"? :bleep_bloop: > I am at 70% and just can't bring myself to finish the hearts and POIs... I feel for ya, I really do. Even lots of PvE folks are just so. tired. of those hearts. And if you've done 'em once, I really think there should be a mark on your account that increases their completion rate by 20-100%. ...And if you have that world completion star, [that one Ash Legion heart should be finished automatically](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Join_the_Ash_Legion_of_Tawny_Ridge_in_stealth_operations) Hang in there, though. 30% more, and you'll have the two Exploration you need. Meanwhile, I need at least 3 more Battle. T_T Pleeease, ANet, make the guild alliances a priority so I can drag my guild into my awful scrubness.

While one has to do WvW to get a legendary weapon, they can skip PvP altogether. > > I think maybe the issue there is that because of the mechanics of PvP, the Legendary Weapon, beyond the appearance, is not of any additional purpose in PvP (because stats are fixed, and, if I understand it correctly, you can swap runes out to your hearts content between matches, which is a function of the weapon in PvE/WvW). > Legendary weapons were going to be initially all about the skin anyways. And unlike armors, legendary weapons are still sen by the enemy even with standard models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubal.8571 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Sure let's revert the GoB, and to make things even better, let's revert the map completion to require all WvW maps again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PvP tokens that contribute to Glory and the *other WvW tokens (why are we doing this twice, ANet?)* are also purchaseable from the trading post. > I say let players do what they like more (at least in the domains of PvE v PvP v WvW) and stop trying to drag players who *don't want to be there* into players *who don't want unmotivated allies*. Actually when a wvw player made a thread asking about the possibility of adding a way to buy heart completion with other ingame currency, karma etc, or even from the gemstore, a whole host of pve players said he was lazy and hearts were somehow fun - not to me when i've done it 10x but hey - so not cute and sarcastic, more, whats good for the goose.. I'd like to use various game mode currencies to acquire other game mode gifts, regardless of which. Or make the specific ones all tradeable, like GoB, GoE.

We have to play your game mode for god knows how many hours to grind these things out for 2nd gen leggies, or we have to do 17 million hearts for a GIft of Exploration....yeah, no sympathy. You PvEers can play our game mode for like 5 hours, get your Gift of Battle, and be on your way. Imagine that you had already played PvE to earn the Gift of Maguuma Mastery. You had it sitting in your bank when ArenaNet decided to change the Legendary crafting formulas, replacing the Gift of Maguuma Mastery with something that required you to spend more time in PvE. How would you feel about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive devaluations? No, not really. HoT added a lot more uses for that currency such as the ability to buy food and utility buffs. I want to say that the ability to buy discounted cultural armor came with HoT but I have a feeling it was added later. They're also needed for guild upgrades as well the legendary backpack. So they still have a ton of value except for those who only cared about legendary weapons. Gold is not the only commodity of value. Time also has value. Your time may have very little economic value, but that's not true for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was ArenaNet got the message out to only a small portion of the player base. If a player never gets the message, it doesn't matter if ArenaNet gives 1 week notice or 1 year notice.
