Numbers prob dropped so they went against what what they said gear progression would be to pull in more people from Wow. Sad....
What happens when you log off your characters????.....

Dark Age of Camelot
All I see here is massive grind for little progression.
If GW2 had normal MMO progression added to it's awesome events and combat system it really could have been a real WoW challenger. I really feel they missed a good opportunity due to poor design choices.
The game is successful, sure. I just think it could have been even more successful.
Don't come in here with that BS. If you take two equally skilled players who wins? The one with better gear, no matter how tiny the difference. Anything that starts tipping scales artifically (beyond exotics) was not suppose to exist in this game.
Was waiting for this term to come into play. Now we have a full fledged flame post. Congrats once again GW2 fans on fanaticism.
Getting my popcorn...
This is how it has always been when it comes to labeling of WOW CLONES. Why do you think it is going to be any different in case of GW2?
They are just adding the system they had in GW1: prophecies to the game - Infusion. I was wondering when they would use it. Mursaat had a skill called Spectral Agony that would kill in 2-3 seconds if you weren't INFUSED. It is nothing new here - they are just using a system that was in GW1, but now you won't have a dedicated healer, so you will need the infusion.
Nothing new - people need to get off the WHINING BOX.
Surely you jest. I thought that gw2 was best seller on Amazon. and all the severs were full all the time! the game was growing and growing leaps and bounds!
Atleast thats what i hear anyway...
If these screenies are true for all of the sets, I don't see the issue anymore. If they had made them more then 2-3 points difference I would have been on the horn complaining about this more. :P as it is it's no different then legendaries. So if it tricks the ponies into running a dungeon thinking they have more awesomeness, so be it maybe it will keep them quiet for a while so the rest of us can continue playing in peace.
I love gear progression but i can understand why people are upset. If you go by these stats ignoring the new slot upgrades the difference is little udner 10%. Now you can say it is nothing but for a game where exotics was suppossed to be the level cap gear even 10% is a lot. And in article Anet clearly stated that they will keep on adding more upgrades which will widen the gap between exotic and ascended even further.
They could have easily added infusion to existing exotics but they didn't instead they went with new tier of gear with better stats.
We still don't know about rest of the Ascended gear except rings and back slot.
No info about it yet but I belive that 6 set bonuses will still be better than this. Since Ascended stuff can't have that bonus it will be something to consider.
Will have to see it when rest of the Ascended gear is out in few months. For now I'm not too worried about it. More types of gear means more stuff to do in game and I don't want to complain about free content.
New 80 area 3 months after release isn't too bad.
If I recall correctly infusion in GW1 was applied to existing items. It didn't require a different set of higher stat items with a special slot.
