Guild Wars 2

I know this is a free to play game and so AN need to make some money from somewhere, I get this and have already spend a lot of real money (more than an average sub).

When I stared upgrading my main chars bag space I was really surprised to see it 400 gems to get one additional bag slot. It also feels like a bit of a hike that this applies to this one toon. So 800 gems costs £8.50 so an additional bag space on one char runs in at £4.50!

I’ve heard players say that we are meant to trade gold for gems but how? It’s taken me a painfully long time to get above 10g as I’m not a hardcore player and the exchange rate is insanely bad.

My second ask is that we see far more cosmetic stuff on the gem store, I’m sure I wouldn’t take long to get some good items on there. It seems to be the same items since launch.

So what am I asking for? Well more items on the gem store and lower prices on some basic upgrades. I know from my own perspective if it was cheaper I would spend more, sounds daft but I would.

There’s a tab on the Trading Post where you can exchange currency.

Also, the extra bag space is a very costly way into more bag space. Personally, I recently upgraded from using 8 slot bags to using 15 slot bags, for far cheaper than buying the 400 Gem slot would’ve been. And even after that, upgrading your bank is still cheaper.

And personally, I don’t really see my inventory filling up, what with the “Deposit All Collectibles” sending all collectible stuff (logs, scraps, ore, gems, cooking items) to my collections in the bank.

It actually does take a long time. You have to remember that those items have to have a designer to draw them, then another designer to put them onto the characters. And after that it’s going to take a crapton of to eliminate clipping across the races. After all, if you’re going to charge money for the fashion, it better function properly.

And let’s be honest, cosmetic things that center on events will give more revenue simply because they have that urgency about them: you have to get them while the event is going on, otherwise you might never get them.
