In gw1 you could make money by playing pvp. In gw2 simply stated you can’t. It would make wvw and structured pvp more enjoyable knowing you have some currency in your pocket to repair from dying so much and just in general to help save up money.
Make it so you could trade in Z keys for say gems? I don’t know what would be a fair exchange rate but since the game has drastically changed from the first one its a given that putting them on the TP would not be a good idea.
You could also give a Z key for a pvp daily which could be used to either buy gems or go towards pvp gear etc.
And lastly this would not cause inflation or anything because the gem to gold exchange rate is already one sided.
It would cause inflation. You can’t have an aspect of gameplay giving you free money and not have gold sinks to go along with it. In WvW, even as a duo roamer I make way more money then I spend on repairs. sPvP on the other hand, costs nothing.
Then they should limit how many keys you use a week/month to by gems. And it wouldn’t be free money because it could be set up that you only achieve them through dailies or taking stone mist etc. And you can’t always get the dailies because the matches don’t always go your way.

People are already complaining about laurels, adding more time gated content would cause these people even more grief. I like how it is now, You can play sPvP completely free, and you can make money in WvW relatively easy. It works.
Yeah but do you really make decent money in WvW? Basically what im trying to get at is that they should make a fun way of making money for ppl who love wvw and not just running CoF path1 10 times in a row. Sure you could argue that running CoF path 1 is fun or do crafting. But when it comes down to it if I love wvw and that’s all I want to do your not going to make enough cash to save up for a legendary etc.

CoF p1 should never ever be the standard for money making, if it was up to me it would be made harder/less profitable. With that said, although it would be a nice thing to have a bit more income as a WvW player, I would much rather have people playing WvW for the sake of playing WvW, rather than it being the FOTM get rich avenue.
It couldn’t hurt to be a little more diverse in its rewards though.
I would love that for sure, and I feel Anet is making steps towards that by implementing ascended to WvW and I’m sure there will be more uses for the thousands of badges many players have down the road.
The Zaishen keys in gw1 was a good way to entice people to play PvP. I even did some PvP periodically in that game for that reason. Having an equivalent item in game would bring in some PvEers into WvW and PvP.
No, you had to buy them with Balthazar faction or tournament rewards points, which would be the equivalent of glory in this game. Even for a PvEer like me, Balthazar faction was easy to get. I could do a few PvP matches and have enough to buy a key, which I could then turn around and sell or use to open the chest.
If it wasn’t for the keys, I would never had touched PvP at all.
