Guild Wars 2

Nice try,

but I would spend 1 achievement point for 25 badges any day, not the other way around!

And this is coming from someone who has bought 2 gift of battles, WvW every now and then and equip all alts on WvW badges

context matters.

new daily achievement, basically if you spend 25 badges you get the daily. After the karma nerf Im not even doing that one either

What exactly does the achievement say? (At work so I can’t check)

Except you forgot the part where you’re not buying AP, they come as a bonus on a purchase with badges. You still get the item you’re spending badges on as well, so what’s the big deal?

You’re seeing what you get when you cross a completionist with a hoarder.

What can you buy for 25 badges? Sorry, I’ve never purchased anything with badges.

Something veeeeery ugly…. and potentially scary.

I’m both a completionist and a hoarder, and I don’t consider myself scary…maybe a little ugly…but that’s just mean.

Seriously, though, I don’t understand the intent behind achievements that are just for spending currency. That has very little to do with gameplay, and everything to do with ANet wanting to push the removal of currency from the game.

How is spending currency an achievement? What exactly does “achievement” mean? Very little, apparently. Are we eventually going to have an achievement for just logging in every day? After that, am I going to get an achievement point for double clicking the icon on my desktop? For looking at the icon on my desktop? For allowing the icon to exist? Obviously overdramatic, but achievements are getting very dumbed down.

The way to encourage players to spend currency is to offer items that they want (say what?) in places other than the gem store (GASP). Crazy talk, I know.

Instead, we get another non-achievement.

It’s not really a big deal, but it makes me wonder what the thought process is behind it.

It is just another way Anet is sucking currency out of the system…first Karma and now WvW tokens.

Ascended armor available for WvW tokens and Karma incoming…

Save them unless you REALLY REALLY need 1 AP…

+1

It’s interesting that they implemented a daily which requires such as this. And then implement it on a day with disabled WvW …
