Other than the Legendary Insights all of that is on par with making a legendary weapon, in terms of grind. The LIs are dumb as hell though

It seems pretty fun but I'd have to find nerds to play it with and i'm busy fridays when goons do it (last I read).

It's the nerds that sap my enjoyment. Mechanically the raids seem fine, but the constant droning in my ear of people discussing standing in green circles and breaking break bars and yadayadayada just kills my enthusiasm.

Just give me heroes so I can can discordway/Sabway in peace and not interact with people in this multiplayer game.

Since boosting my Ele, I've just been exploring the new zones and doing events and slowly working my way through the story. And trying to get all of those 10 hero point nodes so I can fully unlock Tempest. Is there something else I should be doing too? Is there some idiot baby's guide to HoT content?

No this is exactly what you should be doing unless you have strong personal preferences for specific things.

My only advice is in case you haven't made it to the fourth map yet and get frustrated with the hero points, there's seven HPs there that you can get on your own once the meta is completed. Actually you might be able to get some of them before it's completed now but it'd be much easier after.

I don't get the outrage about LI requirements for legendary armor. You know that raids have been out for a long, long time right? And that they explicitly stated that you'd need Legendary Insights to make the armor? The legendary armor is meant for people who raid, just like the fractal/PvP backpacks and WvW armor sets require you to play a certain game mode to get. You can call it a 4 month timegate if you want, but nothing stopped anyone from saving up the ingredients everyone knew would be necessary since what, November? Honestly the ingredients seem mostly reasonable to me, although 600 of each T6 certainly stings.

Back during WoW when they introduced dungeons tokens, the elitist part of the community would call them welfare epics I think it was.

I mean I agree with you, would be nice to have some system to let people buy the raid stuff without having to worry about doing the raid, or maybe have some sort of raid currency and you can get what you want eventually even if you only do the 1st wing all the time.

Well when you've spent many years religiously playing a game like a second (or even first) job and all you have to show for it are purples I can see how a degenerate casual wearing last season's purples might inflame the hardcore raider's bitter heart.

You're missing that it is now, with the release of Wing 3, a 4 month time gate. Previously it was a 6 or 12 month time gate. It takes four months of killing every raid boss in the game religiously. It's not "go raid every week and clear what you can and you can get it after around 4 months" it's that you must kill every single boss in the game every week for four months.

Even if they cut the Legendary Insight requirement down to 15 per piece, 90 LIs is still more than I have and I've been raiding pretty much every week since December. The requirement to have LIs is fine, it's the number of the things that you need that's ridiculous.

Also the PvP legendary should just be added tot he cash shop so I wouldn't have to PvP to get it, and the WvW armour set should just be a guaranteed drop from random mobs in PvE because I don't understand why I should WvW to get WvW rewards. Literally every game mode has rewards unique to it, but somehow this wasn't a problem until you found a game mode you personally don't like.

That's a very disingenuous response, I did not say anything like that, I have never said anything like that, and you are telling me what I think when that's not true. This isn't something I want to discuss with you when you jump in with lovely, rude, and false statements like this. Good night Waci!
