Comment on I don't like Mondays
nullthegrey@gamepad.club 8 months ago@Ravi @lulztard Unless and until they come up with another way to get the kryptis essences, rifts are the only way to get the thousands you're going to need for even just one piece of the new Open World Legendary armor.
I suspect this is the pressure that many feel regarding rifts. I'm still hopeful they come up with a new way in the next release to gather this essence besides rifts. Otherwise I'll probably be in WvW for my legendary armor tbh.

Needing to do exactly one type of content is what is necessary for every type of legendary armor. If you don’t like the rift farming, you can also get the armor through the classic ways: raids, wvw, pvp. Except for raids the time invest for those is also pretty high. Raids are ridiculously fast and easy IMO.

One very, very, very specific type of content in this case.

Pvp is: Play about 1.5k ranked games for the whole set, that’s it. About 250h conquest, nothing else contributes to that goal.
In addition: We don’t even know the full requirements for the open world armor yet. Maybe you need to do all the achievements as well. Maybe you have to finish the meta of the upcoming map 300 times. We simply don’t know.
The point is: you don’t have to do any of it to get legendary armor and you don’t have farm rifts for it either. Choose your preferred way or mix them of you want to. Nobody is forcing you to do anything of it. If you don’t enjoy any of it: build 8 sets of ascended armor for every character you play and you get a similar result.
