The unfortunately side-effect of taking breaks from GW2 is that it's "Living World" concept means they constantly introduce limited time content that requires spending a lot of time to actually achieve. For example, the ascended backpiece/trinket in Bloodstone Fen requires something like 60 days of continuous play to get enough stones. Unfortunately, getting stones isn't as easy as log in, then log out. The daily completion takes forever, especially if you're on a low population map. Good luck trying to find an event that's going to give you good rewards. Dailies can sometimes be easy to load, but at other times, can take forever. And if you like one of the legendary weapons, yeah, good luck trying to get your hand on it.
Hell, I had 2000+ badges of honor from trying to get enough rank to purchase the gift of battle, but now they decided to lock it behind a reward track. And don't even get me started on the ridiculous difficulty of the new legendary. Good god, why? Is epeen that important that they have to make it near impossible to get? Part of the reason why I say, fuck legendary armor, I'm just gonna wear my ascended. But then...
Oh, but then, crafting ascended is extremely expensive. Not even just for the ascended mats, which is it's own omfg so much hate, but the attempt at getting all the craftsmanship up to level 500. The sheer amount of resources necessary is impossibly expensive, in the hundreds of golds. Why?! Why so much expensive?! Yeah, it helps a little that you can get materials through other means these days, but it's still ridiculously expensive. Just....FFFFFFFFFFF.
