I enjoy experimenting with different builds and classes, and thus always have a need for new equipment of different stat varieties. For armor, I like to utilize the Bladed armor set, which has selectable stats, exotic rarity and is available in all weight classes. It's also comparatively fairly easy to farm for, since most pieces can be bought with a combination of local currency and gold, while the chestpiece can be obtained through an event that regularly gets organized runs.

Unfortunately, armor is only part of what one needs to fully equip a character. So far I've been getting by with crafting, but there are prefixes that I don't have the recipes for, and no way to obtain them.

So, are there any reasonably simple ways to farm for weapons, trinkets and back items of exotic rarity and with selectable stats? I only own the Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire expansions atm, so anything within those limitations would be cool.

A recent change made stat selectable exotics in World Versus World easily accesible. You’d have to play some WvW though to acquire the currencies.

Looks like I'm going to have to figure that out then, because that's by far the most straightforward way to get gear that I've seen so far. Thanks for the advice!

You’ll want a couple Gift Of Battles on hand anyways. The currency is also relatively easy to get and not timegated.

The game mode is a little overwhelming to get started in but feel free to ask questions.
