Guild Wars 2

Dear all,

I don’t post often ( once a year or so) but I ran into an issue. I have to many different currencies that I am a bit lost and don’t know what to buy with them. While gearing characters I always a good way to burn through some tokens it is also kinda limited.

For this I would want to suggestion some simple changes that will help:
- People gear (old and new players)
- Make some content relevant again
- Make players with a 1000’s of tokens spend some

Gearing People up:
————————————————-

Keep the exotic gear in the game from dungeons, it’s something many people like and it’s a good stepping stone. There is also the idea that you could expand on it by adding ascended gear with the relevant stats (no need for new armor skins even you can use the current ascended armor ones or apply the dungeons skins to them) of the dungeons exotic rewards.

If you feel like this might make things to easy, reward loot chests that have a chance of getting Dungeons X Ascended armor.

Example: Chest piece : 500 dungeon tokens from X + 5 stabalizing matrixes + 200 fractal relics.

Doing it like this would not only help Pve Players but even though slowly help WvW or SPvP players get a chance at getting their chars geared.

Making content relevant:
——————————————————
Let’s face it dungeons are pretty dead now days, I think the above suggestion would not bring it back to 40 groups looking to do CoF but at least bring people back to them a bit + combined with the dungeon daily it’s a good bonus.

Spending it all Yaay:
—————————————-
- Add some guild hall donation npc’s that you can donate your ( for example) fractal relics too, in return for Merits or Merits scraps ( 10 scraps = 1 merit) This could be linked to that npc unlocking a fractal base in the guild hall.

- Second of all add housing to the game or let people use fractal, dungeon tokens, laurels and etc into some small upgrades for the home instance ( add a few vendors (dungeons vendors, fractal vendors, ….)

- Add a system to the game where that we can also unlock npc’s at some camps by spending X’s currency ( a fractal vendor for 500)

These are just some suggestions, I think everyone has their own idea on things and it’s important for Anet to know what people are thinking. So People go ahead post your idea’s or say what you think of mine

Have a wonderful day,

The idea have merits but might require alot of work. Maybe simple solution might be to just provide a free portal to dungeons in lion arch and apply a choice for fractual reward or dungeon tokens. That way it might get people to play dungeon again.

They could make good chunks of explorable paths in each dungeon a fractal, and have those dungeon specific fractals reward dungeon specific tokens times the tier number it has been completed – say T1 is 60, T2 is 120 etc. Explorable paths themselves do not have any effects in real game lore so it wouldn’t break anything either. Sure, some paths are just going to be abandoned, but we had a lot of years to do them.

From that point on they could assign each different fractal a token with the exception of Aetherblade, Mai Trin and newly put Aetherpath fractal – they should have Blade Shards as currency. Then it would be a simple matter to add some token specific skins/items in fractal vendors (like dungeon specific skins), such as Assault Power Cores for Blade Shards, Bloomhunger Branch skin for Etheral Swamp Moss etc.
