Guild Wars 2

Here’s an idea I had under the affects of sleep deprivation.

I believe that many people, me included, get upset if we’re killed by a thief in WvW (Just an example, by the way) simply because of the armor repairs. Usually with me, I die so fast that I don’t have time to learn how different classes work. (In this whole debate thing, people who believe that thieves are fine and / or don’t need to be nerfed tend to say that it’s the player not knowing how the class works.)

Honestly, I doubt many people would care about this whole “Thieves need to be nerfed” mess if they didn’t have to pour all of their money into this unnecessarily expensive gold sink, simply because they weren’t “educated”.

On a personal note, the armor repair costs make me feel penalized for not being on par (skill wise) with other players. Sure, I get that you supposed to spend hours upon hours playing MMORPG games in order to make any real progression, but can we at least attempt to be a little more “casual gamer” friendly? I work all damn day, make part time pay, and am broke ALL THE TIME. I even have to pay to continue working. Can I NOT be broke in everything I exist in?

I’m sure I’m not the only person who doesn’t have the time to invest in the game. I’m sure there’s someone who has it worse off!

It’s silliness.

I think that this will give Anet time to do some proper balancing for different classes (assuming any changes should be made) without having to hear that the classes are unbalanced.

You know, give em’ time to tackle this issue, along with others I may not be immediately aware of, so that they can do so in a logical and sensible state of mind.

There’s no sense in penalizing players who aren’t skilled, uneducated on how to make money, and / or lack the time to invest into the game. I’d like to jump in and start playing with other people to have fun. I don’t want to think about the expenses involved with upgrading / maintaining equipment, or be upset when I die in WvW because I’m losing money as opposed to making money simply because of armor repairs.

Sure there’s always PvE, but soloing everything takes time and isn’t as enjoyable if you’re forced to solo it. Especially if there’s a DE that was obviously made for multiple people to partake in.

I’m not saying it should be free. I just want to educate myself on how the game works (classes, mechanics, etc.) without some gold sink vacuuming money out of my pockets.

Except that gold sinks are a necessity to keep game economies strong .
