Keep rhyming the same word with itself. After it no longer means anything You might even start liking it.

It's called having a spine. Kinda hoped You've already evolved past being an invertebrate. If you can't back up your words, you better bite your tongue and admit you do not know, not die on a hill made of wishful thinking. Otherwise you risk looking like You.

Q.E.D.

Burden of proof: the obligation to prove one's assertion. At Your earliest convenience.

Assuming those people didn't try or aren't aware of what's fun to them, meaning You're not only disregarding their suggestion but even their agency to make decisions for themselves? Provide evidence. Otherwise Your words are the epitome of "baseless". Both of these are baseless by default regardless because of Your not addressing the fact that You can as much force a goal upon a person as tell a tornado to spin the other way, causing any further discussion to be fallacious, but challenging the impossible is what superheroes do!

Vayne's deliberately talking about people in Ascended. It can be safely assumed most such players are capable of using the trading post including the advanced filters to search for specific stat combinations. In which of the multitude of possible realities would these people complain about exotics being hard/annoying/whatever to obtain? Even granted You didn't pull such a combination out of Your sock - and, therefore, assumed without evidence = dismissed without evidence - or don't know both of these individuals personally. You haven't said a thing to debunk the fact that goals can be, and usually are, mostly irrational in effect, meaning You literally can't simply point in a random direction and make a person suddenly desire to go there. And, once more, "...bosses they're already semi-afk farming...": a pure assumption magically conjured out of thin air. And, AGAIN, even if granted, the way somebody uses their gear is literally none of Your business. If anything, You should be lobbying for improvements to OW gameplay instead. I'd given the guy so much good faith in a single thread he wouldn't be able to balance it out if he became a monk this instant and lived for a millennium, and have done so in every thread since before this account of Yours has first seen the depths of these forums. This is exactly how he almost always responds - almost, because there was a point in time when we actually had a decent discussion - with literal nothing, because he's got literal nothing besides his Status No. And I could keep tearing his "arguments" apart - although I can't take credit for something so poorly thought-out that it crumbled to dust at a mere glance thrown its way on its own - as I had done over the rest of the topics but why would I when You Yourself have seen how the sobbing goes: S: Why would you suggest this? V: Because humans are like that. S: Stop dodging. Why would you suggest this? V: Alright, more specifically: because I'd like something else. S: No! Stop dodging! Like, I don't even have anything to dodge at that point. So either he's unhinged, in which case he's not worth talking to, or he's incapable of comprehension thanks to the obvious lack of effort to meet me half-way, even if I were the thick-as-a-brick portion of the conversation, in which case he's not worth talking to either. Finally, I'm not one to beat around the bush. Sob's an abusive cretin even when he's right - and, like, how far down do you need to go to kick a person when they're down? - and - no matter how much of a cesspool this forum is - people like him should not be allowed to run amok, putting every single person around through the wringer just by the virtue of their existence. Doubly so on the official pages of a high-profile online game.

There's a plethora of arguments for many different angles of this suggestion, laid out many times over as well. If You're willingly choosing to embrace Your own ignorance, do live happily ever after. No honeymoon postcards necessary.

Do You know Plato's cave allegory? You remind me of one of those chained people, except You're actively boycotting getting freed. Why would anyone try making the world a better place for themselves? Because that's the very nature of life opposing the great, austere, uncaring cosmos. Life moves whilst everything around pressures it to stop. We fight a war we will invariably lose because every single one of us is eventually going to die, but we still learn, we improve, we shape and create... we march on 'till we can't lift our feet off the ground, and even then, to spite the universe itself, we crawl. Your preference for letting the flow - the status quo - carry - or, rather, bury - You wherever it wishes is Your choice. I enjoy change.

Because ANet's communication when it comes to player suggestions has always been miserable at best, so people started assuming the devs are completely incompetent, the code literally unworkable, or ANet caring not a bag o' beans for their community, giving the atmosphere on the forums that of an alley full of creative beggars coming up with presumably the most harmless and low-cost solutions to what they'd like to see added to the game. In many aspects, I'd assume this is caused simply by how much the game appeals to its players - the quality of the content puts many big names to shame, so the devs must obviously be at least as numerous as Blizzard, right. But ANet is a relatively small studio, especially when compared to the success of GW(2). But this also means all ventures have to be heavily scrutinized and only few get the green light. Not that the shot-callers never miss, but where a blunder would merely be a minor setback for a bigger company, it's felt much more here. And that's before shareholders start breathing down your neck.

Depends on the perspective. Most topics such as this one - if taken at face value, of course - suggest their favorite game mode be a valid way to obtain the ultimate convenience of legendaries, meaning that a player should be able to choose what most interests them: pure efficiency, enjoyment, or a mix of both. Naturally, it follows that if the OW set were to require, say, twice or even thrice the amount of time to complete, it shouldn't matter to the idea's proponents whatsoever as their whole goal is to have a reward for what they already enjoy doing. This would also very quickly show who genuinely wanted a legendary option for their preferred game mode and who instead just looked for skipping any effort as the latter would invariably come crying again. As for the distinction, sPvP doesn't require combat whatsoever thanks to how the mode is structured, and if camp flipping in WvW sounds too exciting, simply taking care of dolyaks for 15/30/45 (bronze/silver/gold; if memory serves) seconds will eventually get you your armor as well (granted you already have the necessary rank). The raid sets are the only ones which do necessitate some effort, be it skill and perseverance to succeed and/or to withstand nine other people, but they are also much more fancy with all their moving parts and two (slightly) different forms. Meaning that, from this point of view, only PvE does not have an AFK legendary armor set. I would honestly hate to see it implemented like that because, as Linken pointed out, the PvP sets were more of a band-aid for internal bleeding than an actual reward tier, but it would be fair, if nothing else.

More of an issue of how the forums are structured, isn't it. You can't necro topics, suggestions are packed into a single thread to be conveniently ignored, and ANet are still not participating in any discussions whatsoever even though they have a lot to mend in this regard (the sub-par build "templates" are still getting sold thrice a piece after all the "feedback" crap; this horse can't die dead enough). Thus, a player wishing to improve the game or give some feedback is pretty much forced to make a new topic. And get their enthusiasm for the game shredded because they foolishly expect the official forums to have at least some breath of quality. So unless we start getting some actual dev responses no highway horse rider is solving the Tyrian world hunger and all of this is just idle chit-chat.

Way too close to Hundred Blades. I suggest "Poke'em-all", which would also turn your currently worn headgear backwards.

I'd assume that's simply the acknowledgement of the seller being unable to do both at the same time. ANet have shown time and time again that their main goal is to make money, not to please players or preserve (a semblance of a dream of a mirage of) any artistic integrity, the choice of which is entirely their prerogative as is the p(l)ayers' choice to support it or not. So, from the perspective of the company, you can pick the path of abusing primitive human behavior based on the outdated hormonal hardware, which would milk 90% of your audience all the time and the remaining 10% in case stars are right, earning you a ton of money, or instead stand by your vision and only get a fraction of that, but represent your beliefs first and foremost. Easy to see which one we're walking, isn't it. Of course, this choice might be far from ANet's because of how much power shareholders claim, as passionate people tend to practice their craft for the joy of it first, paying bills only somewhere down the line, but that's another discussion entirely.

It does work against the vast majority of people, sadly enough. The few of us with patience and/or principles are, understandably, getting thrown under the bus thanks to the wondrous duet of capitalism and masses living by their primal instincts. Ironically enough, that same capitalism dictates that people do have all of the strings in their hands: if nobody indulged their immediate whims, the (Gem) store would starve... or adapt. So do stand tall by Your decisions, regardless - or, rather, in spite - of these manipulative machinations. We might not see a change in our lifetime but hell knows - no single snowflake ever feels responsible for the avalanche. As for what can be done today, I tend to keep screenshots of particularly interesting combinations I stumble upon, as imperfect a solution as it is. Happen to find the lacking pieces somewhat easier to remember that way, especially if one of them comes around with seemingly no rhyme or reason.

Please, scissors unsheathed, brandished and unleashed before it hit the ground. But alright, from every hairstyle might be pushing it. The cutesy anime stuff has to go, though; no mercy.
