Guild Wars 2

I just had the most amazing IDEA!! EVER! I want Anet to make gem store Perminant siege items. A siege item you can buy from gem store you can wip out anywhere in WVW and costs less supply to build and has a cool down time. A siege piece that you can use after its destroyed or expires and has unlimited uses. Preferably a cool Skin to. Something special looking and perminant golems to. There should be a recipe to put your Perminant siege blue print in the mystic forge to craft a Perminant Superior Siege Blue Print as well. I assume this would cost alot and upgrading it would be tones of mats or gold. But well worth it in the long run. Think about it, being able to wip out a SUp treb, or omega golem anytime you want? And if you fail in a raid and it gets destroyed it has a cool down to prevent you from reusing it but within limitations of course. I’d say the more powerfull the siege the longer cool down maybe?

The perminant siege ability would be awesome to have. Specialy if they were like Guild siege and cost less supply. Let me know what you think guys! Thumbs up? =3

Y’know, initially I thought this was a terrible idea, but with how cheap seige is on the TP, they could totally do this, maybe start out with smaller siege first, to prevent people from making Golem rushes done more than they already are, but yeah.

I still think it runs the risk of screwing with the WvW meta, even if its pretty expensive.

Also sticking a cooldown on it would be a MUST.

right, lets give people who pay money into the gem store a wvw supply advantage over people who dont. next up, extra utility slots for your character, only 800 gems.

Edit: to be fair, a reusable blueprint seems on par with a reusable mining pick, but requiring less supply to build that blueprint crosses the line of pay-2-win.

Oh ya thats a great idea with starting out with small siege first. Just like how they introduced all the Rank siege skills in wvw. They started the skills out on common siege like balista, AC and I think cannons. Its been a while but ya its totaly do-able. Deffinatly cool down to keep the risk of people over using golems. But hey who doesnt carry a spare 1-10 golem blueprints on them at all times? I know I got alot now that the TP made getting them easier and cheap. Feed this article with more good ideas and lets hope anet can work something out?

If your just poor and starting out and dont have gems saved up just work hard and buy little bits at a time. Thats what I do, I buy all my gems with gold. I only pay cash when im desperate and theres something I really want.

But I can see your point with the less supply use. However Guilds use those siege all the time, ALL the time and no one complains about those? Think about how many guilds utitlize their siege after capping SM, its all I see in SM lords room nowadays is Guild siege. Cuz its cheap and fast to build for a recap and fast defence. I dont think its much to ask if this idea was ever put on paper that having cheaper supply costing perminant siege. Cuz its not and just think how much revenue this would generate Anet. Its a win win but it should be a store bought item and a perminant item for sale so everyone has an equal chance to eventualy buy it or save up for it for veterans or novices just starting the game. OR heck, if gems are the issue why not make it a Rare drop From WVW loot bags like precursers for the perminant siege item. Would you rather farm for it from bags or buy them with gems?

So basically adding something very close to (or even crossing) the border of Pay to Win?

So, I can either pay 2 win, or treat GW2 like a second job? How about a “no” on both counts?

Also, the ALL CAPS SHOUTY!!!!1111 header doesn’t make your idea any more important than all the others around here.

No your wrong, paying to win is just an exageration and completely false “not”. Its only pay to win if you make the siege like GUILD SIEGE. If you just make it NORMAL siege then its not. But the idea stands and I think its a good idea. Having a perminant siege blue print much like the perminant Harvesting tools should be added. Besides How many guilds in Gw2 have siege unlocked in their Ques? Pay to win? Seriosly we do that everyday. Why would it stop at siege? WVW is “LITERELY PAY TO WIN” If it wasnt then we would never upgrade towers, buy siege, kitten ! Theres no fixing stupid and some people just got it.

Oh and btw the hole CAPS ZOMG was cuz I was “EXCITED” look this word up it means elevated emotions and responce. I used excitement in my header because its an exciting idea that deserves attention.
