Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Idea (Discussion)
Weapons in Guild Wars 2 should have a broader damage range and weapons of max damage should be much more rare. The reason behind this is that the Guild Wars economy seems a bit screwed up, mainly because when I go to town to get a decent weapon for a new character, a new attribute, or for a friend, no one is ever selling anything but max damage and gold weapons for a rediculous amount. I'm just saying that you should make it so that you don't always need a max damage weapon to get the job done.

Why this is a good idea
  • Brings fewer weapons to the market
  • Makes it easier to sell max items
Why it may not work out
  • Makes it harder to get required weapons, possibly forcing grind to get them.
  • Depending on the rate at which higher damage weapons are dropped, the market may show similar behavior to that of Guild Wars 1
  • Max damage weapons are actually very easy to come by. The rarer items in the game aren't 'better', they just look cooler, as GW is a game meant to be more for the casual player then the grinder.
  • Parties would require people to have the hard to find weapons, since they're more powerful, leading to discrimination among players similar to the one seen with Ursan Blessing.
