Guild Wars 2

One thing that I have found that really takes some of the fun out of GW2 is having to pay for using the waypoints when map traveling. I know the fees are supposed to be modest, but so are parking fees in the downtown area of my city: and they’re still annoying. I feel like I’m being nickeled and dimed to death. If I pay to use the waypoints, it really does add to my frustration of not being able to get anywhere in this economy. I already have to deal with economic hardship in real life, why would I want to deal with it in game? It’s frustrating, not fun.

If I want to avoid paying a fee, I have to run to wherever I want to go. It adds time to the game. Instead of being able to have fun, I have to spend extra time getting ready to have fun by running to my destinations instead of simply being able to map travel for free. My playing time is limited as it is, and if I have to spend 10 minutes running somewhere in order to do something, it really cuts into my ability to enjoy the game. Again, it’s frustrating, not fun.

Please dump this particular gold sink. I really believe that freedom to move about the map will make GW2 more fun to play.

I’m surprised ANet has yet to relent on this considering it is quite possibly the worst part of the game right now. Free waypoints already.

I agree that it’s been very annoying, but there still needs to be gold sinks. What would really make me happy is if waypoint prices were adjusted reletive to the nearest city. (i.e. teleporting to a point in wayfarer foot hills would cost the same amount as teleporting to it from Hoelbrak) I don’t want to have to endure three loading screens to travel to a waypoint near a different home city just to pay a lower price. It’s also makes me feel like I’m being an inconveinance when I have a friend that I want to meet up with and he’s waiting on me as I go through the different way points.

Right now it feels more like a bugeting chore rather than a gold sink. I shouldn’t have to pay more money just to have a shorter load screen.

Part of the reason they are there is so you do run everywhere in hopes that you do dynamic events. Other wise ppl would just port everywhere and have a dead map.

Yes, please. Make waypoint travel free. Or eliminate waypoints and give us mounts (that we can ride for free).

“Part of the reason they are there is so you do run everywhere in hopes that you do dynamic events. Other wise ppl would just port everywhere and have a dead map.”

Except people avoid these events anyway, do not go to events across the map event if they want to, and just run ASAP with swiftness in a straight line barely noticing their surrounding. Or they cough up the cash and grind whatever spot they went to without ever moving.

Seriously, fees on waypoints do not do a good anything but forcing players to stay in one spot. It’s annoying.
