3. Having slightly better gear in PVP can make a difference, so can a better internet connection or a different profession, etc. Obviously people will try to optimize their position as much as possible. The point people are trying to make here is that the difference is insignificant enough. People are screaming blue murder about it but I can guarantee that 95% of those who are complaining could do at least 5 things that would improve their performance before one even looks at ascended stuff.
4 I will turn things around on you a bit. Its easy to complain when someone else does something that you don't like. A/Net have a number of issues that they are trying to fix in the game. People are complaining because there is no way to get gold, in the same breath, they complain when A/Net introduces stuff to change the economy. The same with goals, people complain that there is nothing to do and that the legendary takes too long. A/Net give a mini progression in the form of ascendence and people complain about that too. What would you have them do?
