As time goes by this game is getting BOOOORING

[JACK CULLEN MUCCO HYPE CAH.]

As time goes by this game is getting boring since, it's fck*ng difficult to get even 1 legendary weapon / gear. It's easy to lose interest and play other game coz of this crazy difficulty

> Legendaries are the strongest gear in the game. Same stats as ascended but selectable stats on the fly, not to mention cosmetic effects

Contradicted yourself. Ascended is the strongest gear in the game with legendaries next to it. The only reason you take legendaries in a technical sense is the freedom to swap types of stats without sacrificing resources in the mystic forge to do so.
As for crafting them, even with credit card swipe, you do need to work for account bound materials. So it's not a p2w.

Thanks for proving it isn't a p2w heaven. You were saying?

> Not unfortunate as it was literally a claim based on steamdb since we're talking about the steam launch and steam database numbers. Not sure what the confusion is about here really.

Well, it isn't representative of the real number of players within the game. And nobody exactly, 100% knows how much. So we can't really say if the game's dying or not. On life support like Guild wars 1 ? More than that.

> Proof? Where is the "more than 8k lifetime peak" numbers coming from?

Common sense, which you are lacking off, apparently.

> Even so, compared to games like FFXIV and ESO, GW2 only has one other launcher. FFXIV and ESO has 5

Why the ♥♥♥♥ would you need 5 launchers to do exactly the same thing unless you count community made launchers for specific operating system like Mac or Linux. And even counting that, I doubt you need more than 2 launchers.
GW2 Launcher works, it doesn't need additional launchers to do the same thing.

> GW2 needs to triple their playerbase on Steam, launch on Epic, PS5 and Xbox and gather thousands of players in each of the new platforms just to be able to reach their level.

GW2 don't need to triple their playerbase on Steam because said "triple" are most likely using the GW2 launcher outside of steam, and most likely with steam not even running on the background to save some RAM.
As for other platform other than PC (which, lol the standalone launcher exist), You would need to make 11 years worth of content playable with a controller, which is for now hectic to do. Doable, I won't deny that.

> Also AFAIK, only GW2 players use portal command to play outside of steam but still contribute to steamcharts in an attempt to artifically boost its numbers. So in actuality, the number of legitimate steam players are a lot lower than the current 3,867 playing.

Either boosting numbers or no, it doesn't show the majority of the playerbase. Just so you know when an MMO has a seperate launcher that doesn't need steam or epic, you have to take into account that steamdb or other metrics that isn't from the devs, may be incorrect.

But I have enough debating, either side it's a lost case and it's like talking to walls. Have fun in the steam forums, I had my share.

Legendaries are the strongest gear in the game. Same stats as ascended but selectable stats on the fly, not to mention cosmetic effects. So, a new player with no gold who can't even afford exotic gear can swipe their card and buy legendary gear in 5 minutes. They can buy skill points directly with cash as well. Thousands of hours farming materials and gold, skipped. Player who spent cash now has the strongest gear in an instant = Pay to win.

Thanks for proving it is indeed p2w heaven. You were saying?

Only Gen 1 and Gen 3 Legendary Weapons are tradeable.
It would cost ~ 100GBP to buy one Gen 1 legendary Twilight Greatsword.
All other Legendary items of equipment are account bound.

Also, what exactly are you "winning"? GW2 is mostly a very casual PVE game.
PvP is mainly WvWvW where running exotics is just fine. You're just one player in a large team - you as a person barely count.

SShhh, he doesn't know.
