Hello Anet Devs … here’s an idea that I think BOTH you guys AND the players will like:
Create an OUT of combat ONLY +25% run speed foot/boot skin and sell it for 600 gems or so. Make it so it does NOT work in WvW or PvP …
Many players (myself included) dislike having to constantly click the utilities with swiftness just to run around Lion’s Arch or the open world PvE zones … so I’m pretty sure there would be a large market of players for an out-of-combat PVE +25% speed skin. And since the speed-boost skin would be out of combat only, it would have ZERO effect on builds.
As to what skin to make it, don’t know. Perhaps a simple “invisible” skin will do. Or, you guys could create a specific skin that changes the foot-gear appearance and add an on-off option like you do for back-pieces.
I think you guys could make a nice little bit of coin by adding this simple Quality of Life item. And I think the players would be appreciative.
Thank you.

ooopps … meant to put this in the Suggestion Forum, … SORRY

true true … perhaps a skin that does nothing more than copy the appearance of the item its being put on in the first place, or perhaps not a skin at all … but an account wide booster that’s always on once you buy it …. how they manage it really does not matter, but adding it would be a very nice QoL addition and an extra source of revenue for Anet.

runes of the traveler x6=25% movement speed. +10 to all stats +2% crit dmg condition duration increase boon duration increase. These runes have fairly good suitability for all professions that want speed boost.
Movement speed boosters. Already available in gem store.

And if my build does NOT use those runes?
Look, the addition of a gem store speed booster would not hurt anyone at all … because its OUT of combat only (and non-functional in WvW) …. so the Traveler’s Runes would STILL be good for certain builds … but for everyone else that does not use those runes, the speed booster would be a nice QoL option.

I fully support the idea of a permanent speed boost in PvE for gems. I might actually buy gems again for the first time since June.
No need to make it an item, make it an account unlock.

I’m pretty sure that constitutes “P2W” and I don’t like the idea for that reason. Even if it was only out of combat, it would still mean that people that bought it would have a significant advantage over others when it comes to PvE – because gaining rewards and being able to even just participate in events often has to do with “getting there” when it comes to open-map PvE – if everyone got there significantly before you, you’d constantly be missing out. I don’t think that would be “fair” and would create a hostile atmosphere in-game very contrary to what we have now (and make problems between people even worse).
Sorry, not trying to be a downer, just thinking about this from another perspective.

P2 Win? Hostile atmosphere? Not fair?
Ahahahahahahaha ….. ROFL
Dude we are not competing AGAINST each other in PvE … you know that right?
C’mon man … get serious.

If its there, it would be last thing I ever buy. There is not urgent need of such a thing in PvE that traits/skills cant cover since most ground travel is minimal in open world since there are waypoints to make travel faster. Its not that hard/annoying to push couple buttons to burst across land & leave auto-run on. Shouldn’t be spec’ing with movement in mind anyways in PvE.
If such a thing is implemented it would have to not work in dungeons/fractals as it would just be another tag on the speed runs “must have speed boost”. If so, gift it for me, thanks.
If someone can’t make it to an event before everyone else completes it – due to something the people able to get there bought in the gem store… you don’t see the problem ? Map chat is already filled with people who take champ farming and such very seriously – do we need a way for “serious farmers” to make the game unplayable to new players ? Or for it to be something people require for dungeon runs so that players can get places in-between combat faster ? There are many situations where this would provide a distinct “advantage” and cause other players to get the short end of the stick – which is what “P2W” is.
At least try to be constructive instead of loling in chatspeak – I gave you that respect instead of just trash-talking your idea.
Edit : And I’d also like to say that I’m more than willing to change my mind – I would just need to see more logical implementation or arguments that address the issues that come to mind when considering this.

Here ya go. Gold > Gems > Speed Boost. Since everyone says there is no such thing as a grind or P2W items in this game because everything can be bought with in game currency, I’ll throw this right back at them
It’s a logical and profitable suggestion that would make Anet money.
