OH HECK NO!
Please no, just no!
I’ve been in guild wars 2 for over 2 years. I always enjoyed the freedom to spend 1- or 1+ gold a day to get gems casually and over time, buying gem cards around events that have items of interest on the gems tore or need for tickets to buy weapon skins. But this new screen that hit me when i logged in to buy 300 gems to get the new gobbler item was like tripping on a mine and blowing up kinda bad.
Being forced to have a fixed value of gems to buy a fixed amount of gold and vice versa is a horrible idea, because of the sheer difference between how much you are getting between pack buys. I wanted 300 gold for example and here the lowest pack only offers 400 but demands 60+ gold.
This is a horrible idea, if arena net wants it that bad then please, do both, do pack buys and free value set so we can spend what we want or just flick a pack and auto grab a chunk. Tedious spenders won’t likely enjoy this cause they will be forced to buy more gems then they will want at a given time, causing an unwanted needless amount of spending to get the exact gem count we want for something.
So please arenanet as a concerned player who’s been in this game for such an extensive time, and promoted this game to friends as well as someone who buys gems cards at least once every month 90% of the time please don’t gridlock the currency exchange system to bundle buys.

You are a week late to the party.
You have also missed the fact that they are working on a new version that will fix these issues.
