Guild Wars 2

So other than stacking a 1000 pieces of Zhaitaffy into 1 Jorbreaker, what was the point?

It can quickly be pointed out that 100 Jorbreakers will get you wings, but in the end it was both faster and smarter to just buy them from the TP or perhaps get lucky and have them drop after farming a few hundred (some into the thousands) Dragon Coffers or random mobs?

Wouldn’t it have been somewhat more sensible to have Jorbreakers = Dragon Jade Tickets as well? I understand trying to turn a profit off Rich Coffers, but people are constantly pointing out the lame RNG factors that just leaves you kind of broke and basically miserable, so why waste the gems?

I have personally gotten a Jade Ticket (I feel for anyone who hasn’t because honestly this is silly) and wings. So afterward when I was left looking at my bank and wondering why I even have Jorbreakers in the first place I wondered what is there to do with them when they accomplish nothing else but condensing candy?

I made a suggestion for this some time ago. Change it so that 100 Jorbreakers = 1 Dragon Jade Ticket. Sadly, it didn’t seem very popular and it’s vanished into obscurity.

I wonder why? I wonder why it’s even 100 Jorbreakers that is needed. It’s a strange and kind of unnecessarily high number, but hey if you really want at least 1 skin, it makes sense – so I won’t argue the logic at this time. Some people feel they have gotten enough candy to justify it. My personal opinions don’t agree with that sentiment.

Jorbreakers have not dropped or been given to us in any other way, so as a form of currency they seem silly since it’s just to condense and give us room for bag space essentially. However, once they are Jorbreakers you can’t spend them on anything else but wings? You can’t even get stacks of food or receive anything else worthwhile from them. This seems fundamentally flawed from a playing point of view. It feels slapped on without being fully thought through, well there’s always next year I suppose.

I’ve had nowhere near 100,000 pieces of candy drop, yet I’ve had 2 wing covers and 2 tickets.
So yeah, I see no point whatsoever in buying Jorbreakers.
Especially when the wing covers can be bought from the BLTC for a relatively low price.

I understand that different teams handle different Living Story events, so then why did this team seem to forget the great examples of other content that the player base really enjoyed (though there is always an argument to how much they actually enjoyed it)? My favorite example being the SAB content, where you could used your Baubles to make Bauble Bubbles to buy skins after grinding for a bit to get as many as possible. Much like the candy having the ability to turn into Jorbreakers, why are we forced to depend on RNG when we’re all perfectly capable of enjoying the game and grinding out candy towards an actual goal, not an impossible one. You can mention coffers to argue the point, but the disappointment over their RNG is still a factor as well.

3,200+ pieces of candy a day to make enough Jorbreakers for wings. I’m still baffled by how anyone thought that was a good idea. So I guess the question is, for those who have actually taken the time to make Jorbreakers, but have gotten what they wanted already will you keep them in your bank until next year?
