Guild Wars 2

Some of us love this game and play it regularly and constantly, but not in the way that would grind gold because maybe we don’t enjoy grinding, and bought the game to avoid the miserable gear grind from other games.

But why should we not also have the good stuff, just because we’re not running that mouse wheel?

So I thought, what’s a good alternative to grinding gold for legendaries, but making sure that they stay exclusive to people dedicated to the game. How about this: players can spend achievement points to buy major components for the legendary. Conversely, players can save up their achievement points to some large total (3,500? 4,000? 4,500? I’m not sure what would be reasonable) and then blow them all to get a legendary weapon of their choice.

After purchase, maybe players could opt to have their achievements wiped so they can basically re-play the game if they wanted to earn another legendary in this way. Maybe such a service could be sold on the gem store to generate additional revenue for ArenaNet.
