Guild Wars 2

I’ve traded gold in for gems twice so far to buy new character slots. I appreciate this service, but there’s something about it that doesn’t make any sense.

Why can’t I see how much coinage I need to pay per 100 gems?

As it stands, if I want a specific number of gems, I have to guestimate the amount of coinage I’ll need, then play with the silver and copper amounts until I get the exact number of gems I want to light up on the BLTC screen.

Why does this need to be so trial-and-error? The whole high/low/average thing, and the graph that comes with it, are pretty cool. But I just don’t see any reason why this excuses the need for a way to just say “I want this number of gems, tell me how much gold I need to fork over.”

The way it works right now is just needlessly tedious and finicky.

“I want this number of gems, tell me how much gold I need to fork over.”

That would be nice as a second option on there for those who want a specific amount, right now it is trial and error which takes a bit longer but isn’t too bad of a hassle, not something that I would say requires an immediate fix but would be ideal if they get around to it.

I checked out that option, but then with Gems To Gold. Have about 250 (and some) Gems, en when i entered that number, i would have gotten around 20 silver… Not sure if that was a bug though.

It changes by the second, so to a certain extent, you do want to keep checking. Within the course of an hour, it might change from 29s/100gems to 32s/100gems.

However, I would like to see a couple of buttons to do this:

• 100 gems (shows the current coin required; disappears after 10-20s; works even if you don’t have any coin)
• 100 silver (same idea for the gold tab)

The one-click allows players to realize that prices are dynamic and rapidly changing, while still providing clear/concise data …and without requiring the players to own gems or coin to see the stats.

That’s the other thing. I keep most of my coin in my bank, to share between characters, so having to go dig out my cash from my bank so I have enough coinage to check how much silver for 100 gems is annoying.
