videos games are far from actual sports. i wouldnt say that the amount of time you spent on gw1 was enough time and dedication to learn a sport and actually be good at it. i get your point, but i hate when people make connections to sports and video games! i think the average soccer player is more skilled than the best video game soccer player in the world. plus wouldnt i be getting that black belt if i were to take up a different variant of takwan doe? its different, but not different enough to tell me no, you dont get the belt. plus i bought gw1 when it first came out for $40 and i played the hell out of it. i saw there was a leveling system, but i didnt care because i knew it was just shiny number that people could ooo at and i dont care for things like that in videogames. i never prestige in cod because i think its dumb to give up all that time just for a new emblem. so i wasnt focusing on leveling up so i could have spent just as much time as you on the game but not get rewarded, how is that fair?
I know they're worlds apart, that's why I said so in the post. Though to be fair gaming is becoming a sport, having ESPN picking up gaming, though that's besides the point.
As far as your Call of Duty reference, some of them have had more than just player cards as rewards. You don't get the gold weapon skins without being a 10th prestige or whatever, do you? You said it yourself, you didn't care to level up and so you didn't get the reward for doing it, granted you didn't know there was such a reward but still. The Unicorn was created for the sole purpose of rewarding those to did care enough to slog through the ranking system and reach the top of the pile, its not meant to be something to anger people who didn't want to rank up. Its a bonus, not a punishment. How fair it is would be subjective honestly, think of it from the other side would it be fair to spend months ranking up to earn something only to have it given out later to everyone who didn't put in the effort?
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as an elitist ding dong but honestly every game has top-tier rewards that are exclusive to certain tasks. I'll never have the top of the line armor in a game like Halo because I'm not the greatest at the online portion, so how fair of them would it be to start giving it out to people who don't put forth the effort and earn it the way they intended. At the end of the day the developers thought it was a good idea to reward max rank players from GW1 and created a special thank you for them. I don't think any disrespect was intended.
You seem to have forgotten the original post. i said give us a way to EARN it in gw2, not hand it out. I said make a task just as hard, if not harder to complete in gw2. those rewards in cod are for the game you are playing. imagine how angry the players would be if the next cod states that you have to go back to cod ghosts and reach max level to get a gun EXCLUSIVE to max rank in ghosts. idk about you, but ghosts was the worst cod to date and i wouldnt have fun completing that task. i just want a FUN option to earn my unicorn chomper. dont get me wrong GW1 is fun as hell, but once you start focusing on the challenges then it becomes a chore and i dont want my video game time to feel like a second job. thats the soul reason why i quit destiny. it felt like a chore, not fun. i have a restricted amount of time to be on anyway because of school and work, so i think it would be fair to those who couldnt put the time in for gw1, but would put time in gw2 for it.
I didn't forget the OP, I'm just sticking with my opinion that the developers meant it to be a max rank reward, the pack containing the Unicorn is called "313 Max pack" or whatever it was, the way you're supposed to get it is being max rank. The developers even generously left the window open for an entire year so those who want it can go back and earn it. You're right though, leveling in GW1 was a chore and that's why we got rewarded, it was terrible and now we've actually got something to show for it. I know I'm not going to change your mind and I'm sure you get my perspective as well.
Oh and I quit Destiny too, that game got to be so boring. Earning gear was literally a part time job.
if i were still 15 then i would have no problem grinding out gw1, but im almost done with premed and my free time will absolutely go out of the window within the next year. im about to leave for my university in the summer, so i just want to be able to at least know when i do play gw2 theres a chance i could get it. just like you said about halo how you could never get the max rank armor, it could be the same with gw2. maybe ill never get the unicorn chomper since it would be an end game reward, but knowing that its in the game would be nice
