Really, people, you’ve been saying a vote for Knashblade is a vote for RNG, but it is actually quite the opposite.

WHY!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

  • Kiel will cause inflation:
  • Cheaper waypoints simply increases the amount of money PCs can spend on other things.
  • All this means is that there is more money in the system. A PC can’t “take advantage” of it by using waypoints more, rather everyone will simply have more money.

Why causing inflation is bad, and why Kiel is bad

  • So everyone has slightly more money! Woo…
  • This won’t give you any special advantage – in trying to buy items at the trading post, you will be competing against other people who also have that extra money
  • Inflation makes barrier to entry to new or less active players higher
  • Inflated gold means gems will be even more expensive
  • The one benefit of inflated gold is that it makes repair costs and some vendor items “cheaper” (i.e., worth less since the same amount of currency is worth less). So in other words, unless you die a lot, don’t know how to use waypoints properly, or think buying white gear at the “Armorsmith” is a good idea, you won’t be getting any benefit from Kiel.
  • AND YOU DON’T DIE A LOT, DO YOU?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

BUT THERE IS HOPE. OUR SAVIOUR, EVON GNASHBLADE!!!!!

A VOTE FOR EVON IS A VOTE FOR CHEAPER HIGH END GEAR

Why vote for the #1 most cuddly Charr?

  • Simple, Evon means more black lion chest keys, hence, more black lion chests opened.
  • In terms of supply and demand, this INCREASES supply, making it cheaper
  • Black Lion Chests also give new items, which is great. Can Kiel give you cheaper new items? No, Kiel just makes your hard-earned gold worthless.

But WHAT ABOUT THE RNG!!?!?!?

  • No.
  • Still no.
  • Ok, really, the answer is no.
  • Fine, i’ll explain it for you: if you look at it in terms of “what does each one give me” it probably seems like Kiel is the much better deal.
  • EXCEPT Kiel effects everyone. Cheaper waypoints just means EVERYONE has more money. This just makes inflation higher, and makes everything more expensive. But cheaper keys means there will be more BLC items on the market.
  • The kicker of this is that voting for Kiel doesn’t help you get items, she won’t actually help your buying power – but she will make it harder for new or returning players, or people re-rolling, via inflation (that is bad). Voting for Evon drives down prices, this actually INCREASES your buying power. As in, the gold you have before Evon will go further once we elect him.

P.S. Although I’ve made this to look like a typical “propaganda” piece… this is actually a really, really valid reason why you shouldn’t vote for Kiel.

BLC items aren’t in the market.

Additionally, Gold→Gem exchange rate will skyrocket, benefiting players who already have Gems versus players intending to buy Gems. This will also make it so that becoming P2W will be easier as your Gems will be worth more Gold (so $10 after the patch would give more than $10 before the patch).

Tbh, Cheaper way points is only for four weeks.
The new crafting Materials, new loot from champs, the advent of the global wallet, and taking crafting to 500. These will all have a greater effect on the economy than than the way points.

Secondly the GW2 economy is somewhat controlled, not completely free. hence inflation is less likely than you think.

and also, even tho Kiel is an aetherblade undercover, it still makes her more cool than that scumbag politician char, who is clearly flame legion, and would like to find out more about the creator (abbadon) of his former gods, the titans.

Cheaper waypoints will just lead to players using more waypoints so in the end it balances things out nicely.

Well that’s what a would say if I were a prophet, who the hell knows how exactly things will be affected or changed in the future O.o.

  • A PC can’t “take advantage” of it by using waypoints more, "

Why not? There are plenty of people who moderate their use of waypoints to avoid spending too much money on them. Lower waypoint fees could easily mean increased use of waypoints.

Why vote for the #1 most cuddly Charr?

Tybalt has him beat, paws down.

  • In terms of supply and demand, this INCREASES supply, making it cheaper

Supply of mostly usekitten osters that everyone has stacked up in storage any way?

And just to make sure, everyone knows that cheaper keys won’t pull any gold out of the economy, right? Buying gems with gold so you can buy keys just transfers the gold to another player.

And having more BLTC stuff on the TP won’t decrease the cost of all the things you don’t get from BLTCs, which is pretty much everything that’s actually useful.

P.S. Although I’ve made this to look like a typical “propaganda” piece… this is actually a really, really valid reason why you shouldn’t vote for Kiel.

Probably the most convincing part of your propaganda. Adding “really” before anything makes it extra true. Adding a second makes it like unto Holy Scripture.
