Basically title. I am a New World refugee (RIP sweet prince) and have been loving GW2 as my new MMO of choice. But one thing I am missing a bit, is the chase for higher tier rare gear. I know the horizontal progression thing pretty much nullifies this, but is there anything you can grind for drops wise for raids, fractals, dungeons etc- that aren't the long grinds of crafting legendaries? Sorry if dumb question. Still under 100 hours so I'm still learning every day!
