“Glory for Gems”
Sounds like a terrible idea at first, the way I Imagine it from your standpoint 5,000 glory for 100, gems means it’s set price, probably from an npc right?
Anet really wants to give their gems away :P
How about instead, it’d be a market like the gold>Gems Market, Players can sell their gems for glory if there are people willing to buy glory with gems, But why would they want that? Glory is useless!
Create a use for glory, say 135,000 glory weapons or armor you can buy for PVP.
or Just add the ability to buy upper tier glory armor/weapons for ridiculous prices (WITHOUT CHANGING HOW CHESTS WORK)
Allow Glory to be spent on dyes or other things also at hefty prices, Even it out so the ipo for gems is like 20k per 100gems and you need a bunch of glory to buy a skin.
People buy Gems to buy glory skins, Anet is happy, The market economy isn’t flooded with gold, Pvpers get a nice source of gems, business is good Anet devotes more time to sPvP, more people play and buy gems for Spvp because now there’s more game modes and lots of fun times for all, etc
I originally posted this in the spvp forum as a reply to a thread but thought maybe it was good enough as a Thread in the suggestion forum
