Guild Wars 2

Hey Anet, I have a suggestion. How about you guys allows us to swap out chests for a cost.

How about 10 laurels and 5g or some combination of currency to swap out one ascended weapon chest for another.

A way to do it could be Ascended Wrapping + X Obsi Shards + X Ecto + The weapon box in mystic forge = Ascended weapon token which you trade in for a new weapon of your choice.

But I haven’t decided if I think it’s a good idea or not.
But given that ascended weapons aren’t tradeable, this could actually be argued that it’s fair in a way.
However it makes it significantly easier to obtain an ascended weapon you want. Which is a bad thing if you want to keep the rarity of them up.

I don’t think that allowing people to make use of the one they manage to get is a rarity issue. It’s not like I am suggesting that they increase the drop rate.
