Again, no one is saying that ascended gear is going to be rare, or hard to get. They are even giving everyone their first piece for free.

Umm, I may or may not be permabanned from the official forum...

If its not going to be rare and easy to get why introduce it? If everyone will get it in a week, what the heck was the point of it all anyway? That's certainly not going to keep the people who need the grind and a goal happy. Its not making the anti gear creep people happy. If it isn't rare, then it actually MORE nonsensical.
"New Dungeon! Enter the Fractals of the Mists
Introducing a dungeon experience like no other—Fractals of the Mists! You’ll be pitted against a series of unique “fractal” mini-dungeons that get harder and harder as you progress, giving you unlimited levels of challenge! With great risk comes great reward, including new weapon sets, a back-slot item, new Ascended loot, and much more!"
Dunno about you guys, but that looks like standard item progression to me.
"Get further in this dungeon, get more loots! Can't get further? UPGRADE GEAR SO YOU CAN!" Yaaaaaaay. -_-
If they downgraded Ascended loot to exotic when outside of the Fractal that would be fine, but I don't think they'll be doing that.
I hope that it isn't just dungeon gear grinds, I don't really like dungeons, although I haven't done a GW one yet so they might be different, but I doubt it. As long as the new gear is available through crafting or currency then I don't mind, I certainly won't be quitting the game over it or having a tantrum and throwing teddy out of the pram, but as in WoW I will just accept that as a non dungeoneer I am classed as a second class citizen if that's the only way to get the best gear.
So let's shift this back to Lost Shores discussion. I'm excited for it. Can't wait to fight this new race and see this new texture they've added for the shells. I'm not a big sea food guy.. but I'm ready to cook up some shell people!
But the game is going to be "wowing" or not?
I agree. We already have another thread for the ascended gear discussion... so let's just use this one for the rest of the Lost Shores content. I will make the first step by replying to frunk's remark (above) in that other thread...
