Guild Wars 2

OK, I know this is idea coming rly late, but i recently looked at all the finishers (rabbit, deer etc) i have left since the way those work was changed.

But wouldn’t it maybe good, when it gets possible again to sell those for gold in the TP?

My “Target group” are probably mostly WvW players. As far as I know, you don’t get glory/acces to the rank-related stomps via WvW. If WvW player want those finishers, they need to play sPvP.

However, WvW has easier access to gold then sPvP.

So by making the finishers tradeable, sPvP palyers could sell the finishers they earn, for some extra money. This would also be nice for sell/buy event/LS-related finishers.

Of course it would be necessary to implement again a way of getting the rank related finisher-tokens. Maybe via chests again.

Doing that would completely devaluate the meaning of gaining ranks in spvp. Why bother gaining rank for the cool shiny finishers if you can simply buy em off the tp. Not only that, but it would be a direct punch in the face to th people who spent hours gaining glory in order to get that special stomp.

But it would also make nobody need to spent hours gaining glory just in order to achieve such a stomp.
Additionaly, if you are able to make some good money with selling stomps, who cares if sb else uses a stomp he just bought.
I wouldn’t mind if sb stomps me with the stomp I just sold him, if evertime he does I get 10s, cause everytime he does, the only thing I would hear would be a kling sound.

There are also stomps you can buy for gems, so whats the difference? One looks good and the other one looks good and shows how awesome you are?

To clarify, the concept is:
Inifinite stomps (like it already is) for ppl who achieved a certain rank.
+ Chance of getting stomp tokens from chests, so you can sell those.

Exclusive content, including stomps, is a driving force for a very, very large player base. Say you spent a long time on something, somthing that only the dedicated can achieve and is also recognized to be exclusive to those who are dedicated. Wouldnt you want to show it off and say: “hey, I did it, here look at it”.

Then few days later u find that this exclusive thing in which you put so much time, is suddenly obtainable with a mere “10 silver”. Wouldn’t that be quite a kick in the nuts?Basically saying your time and effort was worth 10 silver, no its worth nothing because everybody can get it whenever they want.

Well you probably won’t understand judging by your response. I couldn’t care less about pvp finishers, but i believe that there are alot of people who would be kitten ed if this were to be added. Not that they’ll ever make them sellable anyways :p

Such a market would just get abused by TP Flippers, who would end up making more money from it than the average PvP player. WvW players don’t make money either, any money they make goes back into siege, upgrades etc.

On a side note, that’s why we have all this time gated, account bound stuff coming out. It’s the only way to moderate what the TP Flippers do and keep an even playing field.

In any event Logi is right. You can’t trivialise what a PvP player has achieved by simply selling it off.
