Guild Wars 2

So now that this skin has been made available again, it would be great if Anet could add it as a glider skin, complete with fiery thruster effects.

then it wouldn’t be decorative tho, would it?

Being decorative doesn’t prevent the item from being useful as well. It may be decorative, but it’s still a jetpack after all.

Yeah, and you need like 100 of these by this item introduced token items just to get it …

And we got 1

Question is now.. how do we get more of those tokens now? Is there also a way to earn more ingame, or do we have to wait now like 99x more, that Anet puts into the gemstore such a memorial item??

The moment I have seen, that theres kinda alot of rewards to trade in for those tokens, kind of made me think about it, if we might see maybe in the future some kind of “nolstagia festival” or so, where we will be able to earn more of those tokens…

Because lets face it, if you aren’t rich like ****, most people will basically have to collect like 200 to like 300 of those tokens to have basicaly enough to get everythign from that reward list that peopel are interested into, what are most likely the skins and the minipets, in cwertain cases eventually also the tonic, cause alot of peopel missed the selfless tonic and its counterpart, but these two just cost lousy 10 tokens each compared to 25/50 for the skins/minis…

If earnign the stuff with this thing will be quicker, than by grinding hundreds of gold, then working on those tokens makes sense and will be no waste of time..
However..if those tokens turn out to being basically too slow too gain, that it makes more sense to just continue grinding gold to buy you the stuff you need… then is this whole thing just a fail and anet should just implement achievement rewards/collections with that people just become able to earn those things in that list, if ANet has no intention anymore to recycle this old stuff for the gemstore, then they should just make this stuff ingame normally earnable through achievements as rewards for doign somethign special or as part of a collection.

Peopel prefer earning their things, than to stupidly grind gold for ages, just to buy these things from other players from the TP

Nitpicker.

They could call it just “Jetpack” instead.

Sure earning something is better, but most people don’t care how they obtain it, so long as they obtain it.

So… many people (me included) got well over 100 tokens out of 20 packs (3000 gems). Not free, but not the RM sink that many feared.

ah, thats what i wanted to know, so these tokens can you receive cureently only from the gemstore…
so is this 1 laughable token basicalyl nothing but a waste curreently unless you plan on putting tons of real money into the gemstore, until you finally have enough of those tokens to trade in somethign you want…

so in fact, its just better to grind further for gold to buy you the skins/minis ect. that you’ve missed…unless ANet eventually comes up in the future really with some kind of nostalgia festival and lets us earn those tokens by playing the game…

Too overcomplicated as usual..
If ANet wants to see real money for these things, they could put them up directly for buying into the gemstore. Woudl be the exactly same way of obtaining, instead of having to collect first 100 obsolete tokens through the usage of RM, just to be able to trade the skin/mini in I want, when I could also directly buy the skin from gemstore.

Then its faster to grind directly the gold to buy the skin7mini from an other player, than to grind the gold to trade it in for the neccessary amount of gems, just to get the 100 to like 300 tokens for trade ins which would be an equivalent of under your calculation of around 9000 gems needed for like 300 tokens… which is insane

What on earth does ANY of that have to do with making the jetpack count as a glider skin?

I was talking about the skin itself and the fact, that it has been made avaiable again @ Xenon..

The thread title isn’t very specific about it, that it was just about only the suggestion of turning the skin into a glider
