ArenaNet: Linsey Murdock unveils High End Ascended Gear (2012-11-13)

Based on this guide, stuff is account bound. You should also take a look at the numbers, starting out with 5 relics per completion.

Guild Wars 2 was my "last hope" for an MMO, too. Unfortunately, they aren't making the game they said they'd make. I'd have stuck around for a bullshit "agony" mechanic that affected one dungeon, even though it's gated content and grindy as hell. I won't keep playing when they threw out no grind AND no vertical progression, less than three months in.

Not seeing the big pictures ones who like the change > point is they may changed to stat based when they said it would only be cosmetic, period end of story. We will deal or no deal will this become what we left behind and will those that left to this new world stay now. If I wanted to have what I had and loved for a time till it got sour with the elitist mentality I would go back to E2, here for a time I have or had a chance here to compete I felt against the younger Gods of MMO's but now well I will shrink back to Everquest land or to Lotr near Mordor and watch Frodo snuggle with Samwise and Gollum,lest I know what to expect from the trist.

Dunno how legit this is, but it appears infusions may also have non-dungeon stats.

Yep, if it's account bound, that's a big problem for me. And it sucks. That's what I was waiting to know. Unless I can get this stuff without doing that dungeon. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

... Get yourself suspended from the official forums like me? Lol.

Maybe. I don't post there much, tbh. I think I have a total of 2 or 3 posts there. Yeah, if this stuff is account bound that's a big issue. The question is, do you just leave the game or do you fight to save it?

[Ruse]

I haven't deleted all my stuff or anything. I'm going to wait and see. I just feel like not even logging in (after logging in every day except for a couple of weekends where I was out of town) sends a stronger message to devs than anything I could type.

I left real, constructive feedback. So many others are leaving real, amazing feedback on their forums, too. I'm not really sure what else I can do to tell them, "Bad Anet, BAD!"

Well, they apparently listen to the Reddit community so it will be interesting to see what they say.

[Ruse]

Hmm, good point. Let's hope they can make a difference. I don't have an account there. Perhaps I should make one.

[Jim Hunter]

Only thing I can say is don't bother with their facebook page because they are deleting any comment that isn't 100% in support of the new gear grind.
