Guild Wars 2

Replaying low level zones

Current State: It costs 2-4 silver per travel indiscriminately.

Need: These costs have to be removed, or at least, removed while in the same zone.

Reason: Often events pop up, people do not travel to it, unless its a dragon. The incentive to play with others is not really there. Joining up to help a friend with a heart, an event is not at all something you look forward to… even to the point that some will start setting themselves to invisible. This game was marketed as a group-friendly game but it feels like we have more incentive to solo stuff and only group up for what gives a big chest at the end. Unlike real money, people in videogames see the cost, evaluated if they will or not get enough drops to make up for the cost of travel (back and forth) and then decide if they will spend or not. Obviously, it would be better for them to do that in real life too, but that’s their problem, not mine, not yours.

Whats in it for Anet: People who dont say no to joining up with friends, and seeing that friend hasn’t logged in since. ie: A player that plays has a bigger chance to buy from gem store than a player that uninstalls.
