Guild Wars 2

Hi, so i finally had time to log in to check the new Salvage-o-Matic…and can’t say i was overjoyed by it. Why? Well because of the high cost per charge.

It costs 1 silver per charge (which is obviously stated in the name), however, the only bonus for it is the infinite use. The stats it displays, 25% of rare materials and 80% chance of recovering upgrade, are the same as Master’s Salvage Kit, or Mystic Salvage Kit. The first one has 25 charges and costs 15,36 silver which makes the charge cost around 0.6 silver, and the second costs 26,24 silver plus 3 Mystic Forge Stones (obtainable trough various means) which makes the cost around 0,1 silver per charge…
Add to that that the Copper version uses 3 copper per charge but the Basic Salvage Kit (it’s non-infinite version) costs 3,52 copper per charge which it superior to the infinite version.

All this makes your infinite Salvage-o-Matic way more expensive per charge than it should be. As a casual player, i don’t have heaps of gold to afford it’s cost and will not buy it until you actually make the per charge cost more down to earth.

Now if it was concerning only me it wouldn’t be such a problem ignoring my rantings, but there are lots of casual players like me that will probably think the same, which will possibly just undermine the popularity of your newest item

Watch Anet raise the price of the yellow kit to ~30s per 25 uses in the next patch to make this gem shop item more attractive

If they did that it would mean this game is going towards a PayToWin system which would make me abandon the game immediately.

As annoyed as I am with the Silver-Fed Salvage-O-Matic, we didn’t really need another thread. XD

Unless you are short of Mystic Forge Stones (or use them for Flusher attempts), I’d say sticking with Mystic Kits is certainly more lucrative.

Why is anyone “annoyed” by this item? It’s available and up to each player to evaluate it’s usefulness for their play-style.

Mystic kits for me. I guess I’m just kinda annoyed that they wasted time on the item in the first place.

I’m annoyed because it’s a shady cash grab that people who trust the company might assume is on par with the copper-fed iteration. I’m annoyed because I’d like to have a better version of the copper-fed SoM, but this is a mockery of that. Just for your reference.

Even without forging mystic salvage kits,

Buying from vendor is still cheaper than this money eating piece of crap.

Do we really need four threads for this? Jeez, just don’t buy the thing. No one is forcing you to buy it.

Unlike you, im guessing that the other 3 people who started the thread also wanted to let anet know that we know what they are doing and thry should stop it.

I love this game. I dont want it to get destroyed by their greed.

Did you know it’s possible to post on an existing thread rather than start a new one? Really, can anyone explain why the forum needs to be spammed with these threads?

I fail to see how this item can destroy the game. Just don’t buy it if you don’t like it. Some people actually like it.

It does not destroy the game. It however will give bad impression from others who are new to the game and will realize they are being ripped off.
