Guild Wars 2

Players bought gilded infusion for boss gold; all other gold drops from mobs are almost negligible. Will Anet refund the 20 laurels for players who bought the gilded infusion? Or will they make the infusion also count towards other gold, like the bonus dungeon gold? If not, they should remove it from the merchant, so that more players don’t make the mistake of buying it.

The update hasn’t even hit yet, and you are already saying “my build is useless my build is useless! Burn the Devs!” Why don’t you wait for the update to actually come out to see how it affects you. For all you know it could increase the Gold amount you get from each Dungeon.

You bought an item which was very specific, when your source of profit dies out, you complain. That’s the price of a niche profit gain. Next time I don’t think you will build/invest in something so focused that a tiny change can screw up your build.

So many questions and so much panic from players over this issue. All will come good, they are not silly and will adjust things accordingly.

It will still do exactly what it was intended for. Just because your farming method that could make use of it is nerfed doesn’t mean you deserve a refund. It still provides 20% extra gold from mobs which still adds up to 20%…

On top of that you probably already got your +20% gold to make up for the cost of it, you already gained from it and NOW you are saying because its becoming outdated that you want a refund? Goods don’t last forever and you aren’t allowed to just return it when a single use doesn’t work.

Nice try, laurels are used to buy infusions, so they are lost forever.

I just bought my infusion before the announcement. I’ll probably get barely any gold’s worth from it (I play casually) before the change.

No, people bought it for the gold from dungeon bosses. All other gold from monsters is completely negligible. It would be like if you bought a karma infusion, but they then changed it to only work for karma thimbles. You would be upset if that happened to you, right?

Again please be patient with it. Your worrying over an issue that is not going to be an issue

Ascended gear should have never been added.

I agree with the OP that this is a valid concern, I do not use these infusions myself.. or any ascended items for that matter. But having your source of gold to change from drops to UI-gained and then losing the 20% bonus on the significant part of that (being the boss drops) would actually make him lose 20 days of worth of dailies, or two months of monthlies.

Furthermore, comparing this to ‘goods aren’t permanent’ is not really valid, Guild Wars 2 exotic lvl 80 armor is still as good now as it was 11 months ago and likely won’t change much even with new ascended items coming out. People speaking out is better than nobody speaking out untill the problem already exists and may not be fixed for ages (if at all).

how about players that invested in MF? did they get their moneys worth?

Ok lets call this a valid concern.

Do people really think they will let us have equipment that we cant use? seriously?

I so hope that a Dev could answer this thread and then we could use this thread as a paste for other threads like it

My point was it will continue to do exactly what it stated it will do, give you 20% extra gold from monsters. Just because the dungeon completion gold, that should have come out of the chests but has been coming out of the boss, is being nerfed doesn’t change that the infusion is still doing its job.

Also you must not be a believer in “A penny saved is a penny earned” because +20% of even a small amount adds up over time, it certainly is not negligible.
