Q:
August 20th Event Gemstore Purchases
I keep thinking that could happen.
How many people would like to see the Gem Store filled with all the items that previous living stories had? ( The ones that will tie into the living-story arc event on the 20th, like Braham and such? )
I approve this message.

just for the permanent tools hell yes!
I can still kick myself that i only bought them for one character
I’d actually say no, I don’t.
And not because of the whole ‘NOO THEY’RE LIMITED EDITION AND WON’T BE SPECIAL ANYMORE QQ’, but rather, simply because Gems are still not internationally available as efficiently :|
I live in Australia and I still can’t get gem cards. Now I know there’s the counter argument for saying, “Oh, but you have credit card, and of also have gold-gem conversion” but really neither of those are sufficient because;
a) Credit cards are afflicted by currency exchange, meaning that whilst its $10 for 1000 gems for someone else, it’s $13ish for 1000 gems which is whilst small, a no less a financial handicap I have to deal with which will realistically hinder my capacity to purchase things.
And
b) I can’t afford gems via gold. Yes, I’m poor. And not great at farming. But QQing isn’t gonna solve that so I’m not going to beg or whine, but ultimately that still serves as an offshoot disadvantage I have simply because I’m an Aussie player.
And the thing is, this isn’t like ping, where they need to make a server. I’d rather they have a big sale like this when EVERYONE has the fullest extent to purchase gems, as opposed to some people having less means and more burdenous means than others.
So because you have to pay more for them, you want to deny them to everyone?
Seems rational.

I am a South African player and I assure you $ do not come cheap at the exchange rate being what it is.
I am not wealthy in rl
I have less that 7 gold in game so no I won’t be converting it to gems.
I still would like to see some things make a comeback, simply because it makes sense to me to do so at the end of a big story arc.
For the whole anniversary I would not like to see the celebrations tied to gems
While its a good idea in theory, I’m personally not a fan unless they freeze gem prices for the duration of the sale as the massive amount of things flowing back into the gem store would surely have to send the gem prices much higher even then we have to deal with more threads than the 3 or 4 that are ALREADY on the front page of the BLTC forum with people crying about gem prices being too high.
no problem for me with this idea. i wouldnt mind another perm mining tools for a different char, d
Well considering the only negative in this so far is the cost of gems— I really hope they consider adding everything back for a final finale I missed a few things and would love 1 more shot at them. I can see them not returning after the whole living story is tied up and the next one begins.
So fingers crossed.. finale final gem purchases everything from the living stories leading up to the finale available one last time
Bring back all the infinite harvesting tools. I want to put them on at least 5 of my alts I have decided to play more often.
