A-Net seems to find ways to mess with my head, even buying time machines to create stuff in the past and screw with me in the now...reason being
read this thread on wroths holy rod
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Wroth%27s_Holy_Rod
now it may not raise alot of concern but green freaks like me dont wanna pay 100K for a weapon that cant be dropped anymore......
IMO anet should have a secret chest for beating certain areas in Hard Mode(vanquish) like realm of torment or night falls end of game chest(in hard mode tho) to collect the extinct weapons.
and i have read threads/pages on wiki informing me that alot of those mini pets people love have been deleted due to duplicate accounts ETC. i personally think they should also be available from this chest.....like the chest could be sat behing certain bosses on Hard Mode...Like rotscale he is a prick enough to farm on normal mode for the bow(can be done with patience) imagine him but fixed to be harder then a normal boss should be on Hard Mode, i dont know i need these extinct greens they have removed or "Upgraded"......its unfair to a game nerd such as myself!!!!!!!!
oh and why the F**K did they upgrade it anyway?????
Screwed By Anet---again

Honestly, I don't think the new version is any worse than the old. HCT and HSR (especially HCT) on prot is kind of useless because prot spells are all spammy. +5e, on the other hand, can be very useful, even if it's while ench. And HSR on Smite Hex, Spear of Light or Symbol of Wrath is nothing to laugh at.

apparently this was way back on a Dec 8 2006 update......I didn't even know all this time, guess I need to collect myself the new one

The old rod is lame, it has a smite req

Then people made threads on guru because they were 'Screwed by Anet'.

The old one was a piece of junk, the new one is slightly less crappy. If you really want to pay 100k for a 20/20 prot wand with a smiting req, be my guest.
Sergeant of Marines
Why would you pay that much for P.O.S Green and how is it that ANET screwed you on this....wait....
They were all secretly planning this against you solely and it is all one big conspiracy against just you...get over yourself
Why do people always have to complain about the stupidest things?

I only ever had one use for the Wroth's Holy Rod, and that was to wand a certain Skeleton Mesmer during my farming runs in Gates Of Kryta way back in ancient history. I didn't actually need the inherent mods to do the damage.

Ha! The fix as good. They should do the ame with preorder crap. Like those req A, recharge B, cast C ones.

Notes
* Ivor's Smiting Rod has the same stats as the new version of Wroth's Holy Rod.
What the crap? Why would they clone an item?
Anyway, if you want these stats so bad, get a collector one, no?

I'm so glad our Anet friends have such a great sense of humor

Andrew, I plan on meeting you at the next Pax, so get ready for a 16 year old hanging off your shoulder the entire time-lol.

Hopefully Anet can make it to Comiccon next year. It's the one convention I fly out 3000 miles for

If its the skin design youre looking for you can get a 20/20 prot one from a weaponsmith in Vasburg Armory or Leviathan pits thats req9 prot so you can wand and get the damage if you choose, for 5k + materials....
Chthon
Why the hell would you want a 20/20 prot wand with a smite requirement?
Shakti
Not to be dense here, but what exactly is the complaint? That the weird drops happened, that they were fixed or that the oddities weren't removed? That the odd balls still out there are spendy because they are few in number and don't drop because...well...they were kinda wrong? That you feel a need to have every green and can't afford these that are expensive or don't want to spend the cash? I'm pretty darn sure the devs aren't sitting behind their desks at 3:00 am hyped up on caffine saying "Now here's a way to REALLY mess with Gloria.....heh heh" back in '06 btw wasn't it? (Thanks for the giggle btw Andrew, loved the toon)

The wand is pretty useless anyway. You can craft one easily. Check guildwiki for a list for crafters/collectors.

All i know is, I'm looking at my Wroth's Holy Rod and my Ivor's Smiting Rod on my storage char, and they both have the same stats.
Oh yeah.. Cry me a river while you're at it, It's getting a bit dry where i am.

OMG are some of you retarded or just illiterate???
i said i DONT want to pay 100k for an extinct green, DONT!!
my collection is about getting all the green weapons, by the boss dropping the weapon, the fact is there is now 2 wroths holy rods available and the old 1 isnt available threw a drop anymore, and i dont care if the wand is better or worse, i want it for the fact its a green, and now the fact the stats are different i want the old one(have the new one)
Oh and to the kids who think i was meaning "A-Net Screwed me" it was literally but i guess its hard to get that past what the eyes fail to read in the first place, A-Net screwed me out of my collection and Sargeant of Marines if u dont like the thread u can simpley ignore it or F**K off!!!
the thread was simple either make both versions of wroths holy rod available, or bring the old rod back........peace
OH and i never said the Dev's were out to get me u dumb wit noobs, learn intelligence or u end up looking like the mesmer hating crowd RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing's first. The req 9 smiting only affects the damage dealt by the wand and not the mods on the protection wand. So unless you wand enemies to death, it won't make a difference.
There's also the Droknar's Protection Scepter which is exactly the same, only with req 9 protection.
And Gloria? If you can't be articulate, don't expect others to read your little frenzy. Elaboration works far better than screaming and shouting.

why ur retardedness came through very clear, after saying i want the weapon for my COLLECTION u still tell me about another staff i can have, i mean did ur mum drop u on ur head or was it the birth doctor?????
Master Sword Keeper
why would you want a prot wand anyway? Why not just get a prot staff with top-shelf mods?
*smacks head*
Oh yea i forgot about staves..

Personally I think its was a good change anyway, made a pretty pathetic wand into something a bit more viable. Why should Anet make the old one available? They decided it wasn't suitable and so changed it for a reason. If you want the old one, cough up the cash (its the same as any collector of something, they often have to pay extra if they want that now unavailable limited edition item or first edition book/comic etc).
I don't like the idea of having a chest for rare items, it just seems a retarded (to use what seems to be OPs favorite word) method to allow the OP to get their OBSOLETE green..
