Guild Wars 2

I have a suggestion to make about the Black Lion Claim Ticket and Scraps. Right now it’s total random and you could spend hundreds of dollars/euro and not get a weapon skin.

My suggestion is to reward you with one BLCT Scrap in every Black Lion Chest and Black Lion Claim Ticket will still have the RNG. So if i buy 50 BLC Keys i would have 50 BLCT Scraps for one weapon skin. That is a lot of money spent. More than you would spend to buy a whole set of armor, actually 3x the cost of armor skins in the gem store.

Sounds fair?

50 keys. 50 chests. 50 BLCT Scraps. 1 weapon skin.
50 keys. 50 chests. X BLCT. X weapon skins.

A total of 1 weapon skin + X weapon skins.

At the end of the day you would make a profit. Would encourage people to buy 4200 gems to get at least one weapon skin. A lot of people wouldn’t even touch BLC because of 100% RNG. With this you are certain to get one weapon skin and maybe another, but very unlikely you would get a second skin.

Nerf?

Also. Leveling to 10 takes about 2-3 hours. You can convert gold to gems, which is about 4.5g per 100 gems. 1 key is 125 gems. 25 keys is 2100 gems.

What i’m saying is you can farm gold for 125 gems in 2-3 hours easily.

It takes like 30-35 mins to do a key run, no need to level to 10 just do the story til then and the exchange rate is more around 7.75g per 100 so its about 10.5g per key so if its easy to make 20g an hour then yes you’re better off converting to gems, if not key runs are the way to go

^ Then ArenaNet should nerf. Laughable they haven’t yet.

I’ve seen in done in just over 20 minutes per run. Easiest (obviously) when you bring a friend with nothing to do. That’s 3 keys in an hour. Dreary though.

It’s been in game forever, though I do agree I’m surprised they haven’t nerfed it yet.
