Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering why we still recieve so many of them. Almost everyone recieves 1 a day.

The amount of recipes that use them is pretty small.

Can we expect to see more use of Mystic Coins in the future?

There is still a vendor in WvW for example who has a tab with disabled content and he would accept Mystic Coins (afaik). He has been there since launch or something.

Small amount of recipes?

A quick glance at the Wiki page for Mystic Coins is showing me a pretty good sized list, and quite a few of those use a lot of coins (seems to range from 20 – 100, with quite a few using 30 or 50) per recipe.

You only get one per day anyway, so I’m not really sure about getting “so many on a daily basis”. One is so many? Even factoring on monthly which gives you 20 of them, that’s still not even 2 a day.

Not that I’d have any problem with a vendor to accept them or something, but I think they get plenty of use as-is.

It’s really not. For an item that you can easily get once a day, it’s really weird to see such a small use imo. I get that there is a decent sized list, but nobody crafts something out of that list often enough. We are talking mainly weapon recipes anyways.

Mystic coins are Laurels – but they are tradable, which proved to be a huge mistake.

Now they are just a vestigial currency.

If only laurels were tradable lol. Id be fine paying a few gold for 1 if it meant not having to wait a full month just to get 1 piece of ascended gear

They seem to be underutilized. Their price dropped from from about 15 silver (gw2spidy is broken right now and isn’t showing the graphs) to 2.80 silver now and supply far exceeds demand.

Sell Price: 2 s 80 c
Buy Price: 2 s 50 c

Supply: 89865
Demand: 51274

They could use more recipes requiring larger numbers of them to get rid of the excess supply.

Good point. It seems they are indeed underutilized. Could be a good investment to stock up some now if/when they will get new uses…

On the other hand, it’s a time-gated item, so if the demand was higher than supply the price would be insanely high.

The solution could be a limited-time use for them. To flush the market.

They are already in use for legendary making, I don’t see why you need more recipes for it.

And there in lies the problem laurels FIX.

People were selling the most valuable resource in the game – TIME – for pennies. Now, if you don’t spend your accrued time on yourself, at least you don’t hand it on for a pittance. Buying time is great if you’re a savvy trader, and a pain in the buttocks if you’re a game designer .

Well apparently there are more coins dropping than needed for those recipies it uses, as the price keeps going down and supply is constantly higher than demand.

The reason for this is because Anet isn’t coming up with a reliable way to make a precursor. Once there’s a way to do it, the price for the coins will go up. Do not forget that anet wants to do more legendary weapons, and they promised a way to craft a precursor.

They promised Ascended gear from all areas of the game too, but I still can’t use my stacks of WvW Badges to buy a back piece or Accessories. Crafting Ascended gear? Yeah, they told us that’s coming too. What sort of time gate and new currency do you think that will involve?

RNG, new currencies almost monthly and time gates go on and on around here, along with promised material that somehow doesn’t materialize.

It’s nice that we’re getting an account wallet, but that should have been here at the launch of the game, along with an LFG tool, and better options for guild group communications and commander options.

The game is beautiful but it’s time for the artists to take a back seat to basic coding for game functionality.
