With the introduction of Season 1 memory box – Flame and festivals I just have to make this request.
A Black lion trading company vendor where we can sell the junk we get from the black lion chest items for tokens and allow us to buy black lion chest items with these same tokens.
In my mind it would look something like this
Bank Access Express: buy from vendor for 35 tokens, sell to vendor for 11 tokens.
Trading Post Express: buy from vendor for 35 tokens, sell to vendor for 11 tokens.
Revive orb: buy from vendor for 250 tokens, sell to vendor for 83 tokens.
Total Makeover kit: buy from vendor for 350 tokens, sell to vendor for 116 tokens.
Flavor of the month uncommon items: Buy for 600 tokens, sell to vendor for 200 tokens.
Rare items: Buy for 2500 tokens, no sell option since they can be sold on TP, maybe even make the bought rare items account bound to not disturb the markets.
Super rare items: Buy for 4-25k tokens, (weapon skins lower price than permanent contracts) no sell option again. Maybe turn these into account bound when bought from the vendor to not disturb the markets.
Maybe add black lion chest keys for 125 tokens for more gambling and maybe let players sell their permanent gathering tools as well for 333 tokens.
Basicly a system where even if you continuesly lose you can still work towards the things that you would like to obtain.
Also players can just use the items they get or choose to get tokens instead if they don’t find the items usefull.
One problem would be that people could get tokens by buying items from the gemstore to turn those into tokens. With the reduced token gain from vendors it should never be a gain to go this route.
