Guild Wars 2

Change various dungeon/fractal/WvW tokens into currency like gold or gems, instead of them being constant inventory pollutant.
This is especially pressing issue with badges of honor. Not because of the storage space, but because you constantly have to mash F in large fights, which is lame and unnecessary.

Or see the suggestion for true auto-looting. Which would require no F mashing. Im down for either one.

Actually, I prefer the current system of multiple forms of currency that are non-exchangeable and non-tradable. It keeps the player count for those areas/dungeons up and stabilizes the value of the earned items. Having everything denominated in gold would just send the entire population after the quickest, cheapest method of earning it.

I have mixed feelings about the sale of Legendary weapons on the trading post but can understand the desire to sell something that clearly took an enormous effort to create. As long as there is no RMT, that is fine. I suspect players with thousands of gold have no real use for it except in TP speculation. Provided market prices are not being manipulated by the speculation, it is fine. The TP tax should be enough to dissuade most people from this activity.

I don’t think he’s asking for them to be transferable in any way. All he’s asking for is that they are an account-wide number that doesn’t exist as an inventory item.
This means you don’t need to dedicate bank spaces to hold them, you don’t need to visit the bank to pick them up before spending them, and you can easily see how many you have of each at any time.

I’m not sure where they would be shown (putting them with gold / karma / gems wouldn’t fit with 11 different tokens), but I would really like this. I have multiple stacks of almost all the different tokens, and keeping them organized is a problem.

If you mean you’d like it so you could keep the token without taking up inventory space then I agree. Or at least deposit them in the collectibles tab. They just made rare crafting mats depositable so I would think they should do the same for tokens.
It would also be great if they did the same for ALL food/potions (however, I don’t see that happening).

If you mean you’d rather get money than tokens, then just buy rare armor (the first page at the vendor, 20/30 token stuff) and salvage it for ectos. I haven’t tried it yet, but I saw the suggestion so ism assuming you can salvage from those vendors.

How about being able to convert them into Karma ?

The few tokens I get (Same in WvW) are useless to me, let us turn them into something we can use.

Bag, bank, and character expansion slots can be purchased to allow more storage. Salvaging or skinning equipment, buying runes and recipes, or just giving the tokens to an alt are also options for those with more tokens than they know what to do with. I suspect the OP really wanted to exchange them for gold.

One of the reasons I purchased a bank slot expansion were the dungeon tokens. I’m sure a lot more people did that also.
Now, the question is:
Why would they want to fix a working system in order to make it less profitable?
