Well you see, if you don't want to spend months of your life playing content you don't like to have access to something and would rather have some alternative means to getting it, you're clearly an instant-gratification millennial participation trophy having crybaby.

Are we back to assuming that Legendary armor is going to be useful or practical in any way? Holy poo poo guys, that Dragonhunter is running into our zerg solo again... and we have no idea precisely what his stats are each time!

The people who think "just four months of raid" need to actually walk into the raid and see how long it takes them to get their first nine. The 150 mark is miserable in every way, and I'm so glad I don't care about Legendary Armor as they are now.

We all knew that legendary armor was going to be a ridiculous grind. That's kind of how legendaries work, and a full set of armor is pretty much the one thing that could be justified as an even bigger grind than the weapons. The precursors are also ugly as hell and the final versions will probably be about as ugly but with a jillion particle effects on top.

Remember when legendaries were about doing some of every kind of content (except spvp because at launch that was a wholly separate from the rest of the game)? Gotta get the wvw tokens and get world completion and you need to be able to craft and have to have done dungeons and done lots of skill challenges and earn lots of karma and of course money. Remember how none of that required you do the same thing for 4 months? At least they had the courtesy of having two different legendary back items so if you don't like doing one thing you can do the other. Maybe they'll do that with armor too.

Remember how none of that required you do the same thing for 4 months? The original idea was legendary armour for each game mode but this was back when colin ran things so he forgot about it 5 seconds after he put a single intern on the job. The new/old guy says no more legendaries, more content. So time to push out the tiger bow and these armours which are already complete.

Raids, sPvP, and Fractals have specific legendaries now so they fit in with the model of "doing some of everything", if you're under the insane assumption that it's expected for you have every single slot outlined in purple. Also what fresh unique experiences were you constantly finding when earning/grinding/farming the gold for an original precursor and impractically farmable crafting materials? Personally I ran dungeons a lot and had fun doing it, and now raids are still great 7 months in.

tyblazitar posted: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. i full clear all wings every week, i have enough insights to make the armor, and i still think the cost is horseshit

I have no idea what point you are trying to make here or how it relates to anything I posted. I have 3 legendaries and they were all a lot of work and grinding, and yeah none of it was fresh or unique (what in this dead rear end game even is?) but I know I wasn't pigeonholed into doing one thing for four months because none of my legendaries even took half that long to make. I guess a point could be made that it is for a whole set of armor instead of just one weapon but I'm not convinced that it should be more work

Sure sure, it's a 4-month timegate starting now, because we suddenly have information that makes all goons want to craft legendary armor. If you had started getting into raids earlier and gotten into a decent group you could do full clears in 90 minutes every week, and slowly but surely saved up the insights that we knew were going to be needed. I guess it's easier to just decry raids as some grognard tryhard game mode that is bad anyway, and then act all outraged when they decide to give rewards for doing them. Even if you started today and full cleared every week you'd probably get to 150 before the armor is actually available knowing Anet's release history.

Dude do you seriously not see anything wrong with someone coming into a game and being like, "o cool armor, how do I get it?" and the response being "well first find a consistent group of 9 other people and then religiously clear every raid every week for 4 months." Like I don't think anyone's even complaining about raids being difficult try-hard bs (they're not), just annoying to do if you don't have a clique to do them with. There's also the fact that it's the only set of legendary armor in the game, and it's gated behind a very specific kind of content (as opposed to legendary backpacks which are PvP and PvE accessible) that few people even bother with.

Yeah, I think what makes it heinous isn't so much the time investment but moreso it's the time investment into doing exactly the same thing. Something can take a long time but still be interesting because it's a bunch of different stuff that combine together.
