Petition to Remove Title Requirement for GW:EN Armors

I like the title requirement as variation on the only money / farming requirement of the pre-GW:EN armors. In order to have a certain degree of exclusiveness there should be certain requirements you have to fulfill in order to get high-end armors.

The only armor that could get a requirement chage imo is the FoW armor with a rediculous price. But I'm not complaining, if people waht to put their gold into a gold sink in exchange of some exclusiveness, be my guest.

I thought we went through this already? Didn't ANET already lowered the requirements from their hardcore grinding levels to something that can be attainable via some casual grinding? I remember how silly it was when people were arguing in favor of keeping the ultra grind level claiming that "hard mode" possibility, more "norn quests" than available in preview, etc. etc. But I'll restrain myself from saying anything bad. We all know how wrong they were since those expectations were totally off and unless I missed some "new norn quests" and the non repeatable bear quest, we pretty much done with the norns during the preview.

You can easily get to rank 4 by doing the quests and finishing the game. The unfortunate part is that you will not hit 26,000 points for rank 5. I believe it's roughly 8,000 to 16,000 points for all those primary quests and that also factors in how you play the game while doing these quests. Did you run most of it (avoided mobs) or did you went to shrines first and then clear the map prior to entering new zone, outpost, etc.? After all said and done, you will need to do some kind of grind to get what you want. And people, stop saying rank 4 to 5 is so close... The point difference is either doubled or almost double when you go from 4 to 5. It is easy to get to rank 4by just playing the game; but you'll have to suffer some mindless grinds to get to rank 5. Is it worth it? Thanks to people who went through the nightmarish work and shared their pictures; you can decide for yourself...

And while you're at it, remove the grind requirement from pve skills.

No such thing - as soon as it becomes grind, it stops being casual.

I dunno, I can grind casually. Usually it's just a matter of going out when I feel like taking a break from the plot and killing things to relax. Always grab bounties at the shrine by the door, visit the norn regularly (every 25 kills) to see what sort of bonuses they have for you, and don't think you need to chase everything on the map. Just having the bounties up while doing the quests is getting me titles so fast I'm one tier further every time I check.

You don't HAVE to have the armor this week, ya know.

Cry me a river. They're not *that* hard to get.

It doesn't take too much time to get points.
Just got the title without effort, only going into the explorable areas and helping friends and guildies do their quests. I stopped at the shrines and took the blessings when they did. I didn't even notice I took the title, until they told me to check how many points I had, since I didn't care about it (and didn't want to make a new armor).
(That's for casual "earning")

You spend the same amount of time getting armour from all of the other campaigns, what's the point of this thread?

*screws up petition*

wow this has been said a lot. You do not need the new armor. You do not need FoW armor. Its about working for it. I ran around with KC armor for ever on my sin. It doesnt look as nice but it serves the same purpose. I changed up some here and there as I wanted to. I had to work for the materials and the money to do so. So quit bitching about poor eye sight and carple tunnel (in my day we saw carple tunnel as a passage to manhood) and grind grind grind!

~the rat~

You mean remove the work from the game so its "I am a lvl 7 Gawd!!!" Mleh
no thank you

~the rat~

Cmon how can u complain about. Just go out kill a bunch of stuff and in no time u got it. It's as easy as comlaing about something that is fine jsut the way it is. Unbelievable, I know.

I want to start a petition to end petitions....seems like everyone is trying to petition whatever it is they wanted for free.

To the OP: No offense man, but if you don't want to grind, wear normal armors like most of my toons do. If you want to look awesome for nothing, may I recommend either IMVU or Second Life

ur complaining about a requirements being placed on items that u want in which will cuase u to work towards ur goal...yet isnt a video game designed so that hard work and a little time pay off? FoW or r5 armor or the PVE skills are simply there for those with personals tastes and those that want to show how hard theyve worked on their character. what do u want? ANET to just hand over some GW:EN armor for just a few platinum? this is a game...and although it is just a game, concepts still work the same as they do in real life: YOU WANT SOMETHING GOOD YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO WORK FOR IT! and like everyone else said...its "optional"

whining gamers ftl...

For one character its not really a big issue in my opinion , but I believe those that say well work for it are missing the point.

I dont want to do this on 10 different profeesions, characters, and its enough to make me want to chuck this game. (yes I know some will say dont play it then)

Ive played it for two years, I love playing it , the point is some things in the game are forcing players in PVE where you should be able to play how you want as it affects noone else,,,,, to HAVE TO GRIND AND REPEAT KILL JUNK that you have no INTEREST in killing.

Considering Anet USES the new armour as a major marketing point, but failed to mention the complete change in strategy I am extremely disappointed.

Had Guild wars since the start, have multiple accounts, only upgrading one insteal of all six and if this is where GW is heading, Ill be finding another game to play.

You should have to work for somethings, especially since most other things are available for a price...read FoW armor bought on ebay and the price of a run.

I'd remove "...Requirement for Crafters" to make your Thread Title just fine

edit:nevermind:

double post, dumb forum server

Agreed.

I'm rank 6 Ebon and i would in no way class it as a grind. Work for the freaking armor, in the other campaigns it took you the whole game till you got the leet armor, in this expansion they're in the first outpost. So you need a few hours work to go with them. 2-3 hours and you got your title
Not that hard.

Please substantiate that the grind you're claiming actually exists. In my book you don't seem to understand what grinding really is. The best example of a grind in this game is the Defender of Ascolon title. Many other titles in the game have lesser grinds involved, but this is not one of them.

Sorry but in my XP these claims are completely unsubstantiated and inaccurate in regards to the GW:EN Crafters related title tracks. Here's why.
