i'm not sure why in the year of our lord 2016 there aren't options for varying tiers of raids so that even people who aren't poopsocking turdlords can work towards ultimate rewards at a slower, but relatively sane, pace. even gw1 had normal and hard mode for things, and it worked well

there's legit no sane argument that can be made against this concept that doesn't make someone sound like an rear end in a top hat

They seem pretty convinced people would leave other MMO's for GW2 when the raids come out, and where quite shocked when their raid numbers weren't what they expected.

I dunno, they upped the EXP and rewards for poo poo, they're probably listening for raids, baby steps.

i dont think people would be as salty if there was new content other than raids, basically everything besides the raids were rehashed content that they should have gotten right the first time

to me it feels like vanilla wow all over again, where if you didn't raid, you didn't have any content to do, hence my forums angst over everything

I have a proposal: Maybe it is cool and also good that Legendary Armor is gated behind four months of raiding and also that raiding is super exclusionary, because it means very few people will ever get around to getting it.

How often do you see people idling in LA with Sunrise/Twilight/Eternity? Imagine if every single one of those nerds was also wearing the same ugly boobplate buttcape outfit and farting out whatever hideous night sky particle effects the final version is bound to have? I personally am happy to see as little of it as possible.

So you're ok with something that's badly implement because you personally don't want to see it? That's kind of silly.

And being honest here the legendary GS being so common isn't that weird, out of 9 classes, 5 of them can use a GS so its not much of a surprise its the most common legendary.

The problem isn't really that all this stuff is locked behind raids, but that the raid system sucks so bad. The fact that there is no high quality group finder, scaling raid size, or matchmaking for this stuff is a big problem ANET needs to get on.

flexible raids would be nice, just add 15% to the boss hp per extra person so we can bring in the ~15 people who want to raid on a given day

Give me like the 300g I need to finish my legendary :argh:

Serious answer though if you want to do it fairly you can do it by lottery cletus style? Like for example split up the 3k gold into x groups, assign those to numbers 1-1000 and have goons try to guess what they are. Closest guess gets the money? Would fill up this thread fast though since I think most people want some of that :v: Idk

Edit: Oh and keep in mind the weekly cap on receiving money is 500g.

How do you even get that much gold. I think the most I had was 150, and that was with some clever material selling with bloated prices.

If I won that kind of lottery, I would probably finish my first legendary as well. As it stands the most expensive stuff will be the T6 materials and a precursor. Should be able to get everything else without too much hassle, and I have stuff like 77 clovers and ascalonian tears already.

Seriously though, they'll probably just auto ban someone receiving that much gold at random and good luck arguing with support how you totally didn't buy it from some gold seller.

I remember the good old days when gold transfers were effected between goons with message bodies consisting of "we are guildmates and i am loaning this money for a legendary. please do not ban us"

Not true, I've sold gifts of exploration multiple times (500-700g) and never got any poo poo for it. So have other people so I think Anet is less anal about it nowadays as long as the lots are around that size

1. Completely screw up the market for one item by buying all of them off the TP
2. Find goons who are making their first legendary and donate what they'd need to make it
3. Give it to me, illuyankas.3210 tia
4. Do this;

Donate to GenericOctopus.7413 so I can convert it to gems for a set of infinite tools. Or so I can make Twilight & Sunrise to sell Eternity. Or the spear thing, it's the last piece of gear on my Rev that's not ascended.

Probably the only sound advice because you can only transfer up to 500 gold a week. If you wanna unload it all at once your best bet is to buy people the expensive bullshit they want and cut out the middleman of giving them the actual money.

I'm boggled by the way in which you continue to miss the point that it's not just that the armor is behind raids, it's behind 4 months of raids.

So, I'm just curious as to how you see this as any different or worse than the legendary from PvP. That is a single backpack and is behind at least 3 months of PvP (likely more, unless you got legendary in the first 2 seasons) and, it feels like to me, significantly more time spent in HoTM + PvP matches than in the raids. Why does one make people all salty but the other doesn't?

edit: To clarify, I am actually curious about this. I am working toward The Ascension or w/e it's called but have resigned myself to it taking 4 seasons to get, which doesn't seem super unreasonable, although I would have liked to do it in 3. I guess I don't really see the big deal.

The "solo queue" equivalent for raids means you will not get this done in 4 months at all.
