Precursors in Gemstore = win win
I believe i speak on behalf of all the sane people left playing this game when i say …
No. Just No.
Stop it.
Seriously? If i see this i will facepalm hard… you’ll be spending 100+ reall dollars for a pixelated sword? really sad…
They’re already in the Gem Store.
Buy gems, convert to gold, buy precursor, enjoy!

People do. Which is why precursors are not account bound. ArenaNet wants your impatient money. Gold buying is legal if you do it from them.
I’m pretty sure that this is why they don’t care if they ever sell 6 million copies of GW2 like they did with GW1. They’ve probably made their money back in spades from people who bought gold, and may or may not even play the game any more.
Think about it. $40 for 4000 gems. That’s just about the price of one copy of GW2. So for every person that’s spent that $40, it’s almost as good as selling another copy.

You can already exchange gems for gold.
precursors in gemstore will be seen as pay2win. It technically wouldn’t be, but it kinda is.
Horrible…. horrible idea.
As much as I love the idea. It would be terrible since people will misunderstand it and cause a ruckus.

“Could you describe the ruckus?”
Sorry, couldn’t resist ;-)

You can buy gold from the Gem Store.
You’re speaking like if that wasn’t the case.
spend $1000 worth of gems and convert to gold to buy precursors.
or $1000 or more if you want to buy the legendary already.
that is if you have $1000+++ to burn.
and the real question is if a 2gold pearl weapon has the same functionality as the $1000+++ weapon, why would you want the more expensive weapon?

With 1000$, it’s the legendary that you can buy :P
Really unfair game
Why are you people having such a hard time with the thought of precursors in the Gem store?
They already are! People have boasted about never having to grind for the legendary(s) because they had a credit card.

What other people do shouldn’t matter to you.
And I don’t think you realize how much a legendary costs in real $.

Ok, what I post shouldn’t matter to you? And yes I do.

It’s fine
Anyways, what I meant by ruckus is the misunderstanding thing. To detail it further, if people confused the Precursors in gem store as a P2W (Pay to win) thing, then they would start posting complaints about it in the forums (With a few people trying to explaining it clearly but failing anyhow) which would then cause a ruckus. The magnitude of the ruckus depends on how many people misunderstand it
So yea, while the precursor thing isn’t such a bad idea to be implemented on the gem store, it would be the “ruckus” that would be annoying.
That’s all in my opinion though

There is a big difference between items being added to the game because they’re sold in the gem store thus increasing the supply of them, and gems being sold and then traded for gold thereby increasing the supply of gold. The first will depress the prices of items like precursors and the second will lead to higher prices for them. Thus, different parties’ views on the idea.
Also, this would in no way pay2win, as having a legendary puts you at ZERO advantage over someone who doesn’t.

This is true right now BUT what if legendary weapons become ascended? It seems a little too close to pay2win if this happens.

Well this might be true because Legendary items will become ascended, will have to wait to see if Ascended items become just as common as exotics are now, if they do, I think my argument will carry forward.
Yes, because paying +2G for 100 gems is not high enough…
