Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I think the trait manuals are a little too expensive, I don’t earn money as easily as others do and I barely got enough money to afford the manuals when I reach the required levels. Anyone else got the same problem or just me? I’d like to suggest a price reduction on the manuals, but if I’m the only one interested there’s no point xD.

By the time I reached lv11, I had more than enough. By the time I could buy the second, it took a tad of work, but even then it’s fair. Go fill some hearts, bub.

The level 11 one was okay but the level 40 one is a bit much, especially with multiple characters arriving there around the same time. After looking at what I’d get on each, there was only really one character where I felt it was important, and the rest can just wait until I have the money.

exactly what I think, maybe something will be done in the future

I’ve been level 80 for 3 weeks and I still didn’t by the grandmaster trait book because

1. The price on it is stupid
2. Necro traits suck anyway.

prices are fine, just stop buying stuff on a whim

so Rizzy, if it works for you, but not others that makes it ok? good call

I wouldn’t mind a reduction. Its quite expensive at the moment

I have to agree with Rizzy.. it really does work fine.

go for map completion (you’ll get into lots of events, get loot and good rewards at 100% for each map). I buy new stuff from the TP every 5-10 levels (the cheap blues/greens are fine until you’re 80) and still have over 6 gold with my lvl 62 ele.

don’t waypoint unless absolutely necessary. it costs you multiple times. the straight up fee, missing DE’s and all the loot from the stuff you could’ve killed on your way. on a wild guess I’d say its at least 3 times as expensive as the actual cost of waypointing. during map completion, follow a pattern. be it circular around the map and then inwards or left to right, a bit down, right to left, repeat. if you don’t leave anything behind to complete, you won’t have to waypoint once during the whole map completion.

I only use waypoints to get to an area I want to be in, very seldom within a map to faster get somewhere.

^^ This,

Waypoints are nice, but don’t spam them for no reason. Never had an issue with being unable to afford it on my first character when the game launched. If it’s for an alt, the cost of it is pretty minor at that point.

Also, check the TP, sometimes people put these tomes up for cheaper than the NPC because they mistakenly bought more than they need!

I would do map completions if so many of the areas didnt have a bug in them. I just thought it would be nice with a price reduction cause I dont like having to spend all my money, some people earn money really fast, I dont, it’s merely a suggestion to save money, where’s the downside?

thank you for the TP advice, didnt think of that one.

Personally I’d like cheaper travel as well, especially from one side of the world to another. It would be better for the game culture if travelling gets cheaper the longer the distance, whilst short jumps are more expensive.

Sometimes I wish they’d just make it free, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t see anyone in the world afterwards, as they just waypoint jump around. right now people are walking around and if you’re dead theres a good chance someone is near and can ress you (but it seems very few people actually want to help unless your right at their feet. I always run to downed/dead players but they often just port away because they don’t expect anyone to come)
