Guild Wars 2

We should have some sort of in-game gem card reward system for those who fork out the cash. If we got achievement points, a progressive title, unlockables or something; it would help drive sales.

Maybe make gem card available only guildwars 2 armor reminiscent of the old warrior eagle armor with gw2 logos $500 of gem card purchases unlocks it for your account or something of the sort. It should be set up like the salvaging achievement track.

Or take say the three of the coolest gw1 armor’s of each class and once you hit the mark on gem purchases you get a choice of which class you want. This could work as an outfit or as a set.

Any other gem card reward ideas out there?

The little pencil in the lower right corner allows you to edit your posts, if you were unaware. =)

Something somewhat similar was implemented last year about this time, with the Mr. Sparkles Mini promotion. Some players embraced the idea…others, not so much.

Good luck.

/s Wait, I thought my gems were to buy my armor skins/harvesting tools/hair styles… you mean I should have demanded AP for it too? /s

Seriously, you want AP to feel all elite and entitled? Do your dailies and play the game. Here’s a real gem card reward idea that makes a lot more sense.

Make the different amounts you pay give more than the one lower… Y’know. $5 for 400, $10 for 1000, $20 for 2400, $50 for 6200. Give a greater reason to spend more at one time, y’know like buying in bulk saves you money. This way you’re getting your ‘little extra’ for your money.

I’ve logged thousands of hours into gw1 and 2 and i have almost 10 80 characters mostly all geared out. yes i spend gems and wouldn’t mind some other reward when not everything in the gem-store is truly worth it. People want to pay for subscriptions because they think that’ll help. give them more incentive to buy gems cards.

I like this idea ^^ very fair

Even if it was on a title track it doesn’t have to give any ap. I could see a title like Glorious Defender or Savior or Tyria or Legendary Purchaser of Shiny Trinkets or My Wallet Smells of Flys, Evon Gnashblades Broker the list is endless.

The gems in bulk idea is also a great idea; I was surprised when I first saw that all amounts are of the same ratio.

I would be fine with a title track, since they have absolutely no value for in game progression, but AP does give rewards that others could be seen as ‘pay to win’ such as laurels and weapon/armor skins. Laurels buy everything from obsidian shards to S1 rewards.

It bugged me too, logging in and seeing the gem ratios were all the same. It should have been easy enough for you to buy ‘x’ amount of gems since the ratios were all the same instead of preset amounts.
