Guild Wars 2

I have 300 of the kitten things since pvp doesn’t reward its players very well. And since I’m not ADD about my character’s looks, they never get used. It’s pretty dumb that this “reward” just sits there. I wish I could do something, anything with them. I’d give them out for free if I could.

Something.

Anything.

This is dumb.

I think you meant OCD.

You could reskin armor for giggles, maybe skin weapons or change by the day? Even if you’re not “ADD” about your look, if you are just looking to waste them…

I actually would love it if they could be sold, Id buy em~

In the same vein, why is “Instant Repair Canister” still part of the Black Lion login chest? It seems like more of a punishment than a reward, making me type out the whole kitten name every time I get one to delete the trash.

You get something for free just because you logged in and you are complaining about it?

They actually do have some use for fractals or saving yourself a few seconds on running to a repair station.

I think I didn’t.

OCD (to me) would be obsessively nailing down a look until you think it’s perfect. I don’t even think that’s possible for me, given how few armor sets I actually like the aesthetic of.

ADD (to me) would be deciding on a look, changing it 30 min later, and then 30 min later again.

saving 10s thanks to repairs was a so-so reward before. Now that they’re free, it’s literally worth more inventory space to delete them and forego the “convenience” niche that they have. I don’t think teams wipe 7+ times anymore in fractals, and even if they did, you can char select→log in→repair for free→reenter

Anet should just make a buyback system for gem items. Give back partial value in gems of acquired bound items(boosters, charges, BL trader stones, etc).

Yep, I never said it was a great super useful item, I just said they have some use. They are better then nothing at all.

To me, they are literally worse than nothing at all, because I have to go through the hassle of the ‘safe delete’ system every time I get one. Which is most weeks. On 3 accounts.

So which one have you been diagnosed with by a medical professional and which one are you just talking about like it’s a feeling or mood you can choose to let happen?

As someone with ADD and who has lived with a person with OCD, I’d say your problem isn’t either. (to me) It seems like you’re turning actual mental disorders into trivial adjectives.

Instead, it sounds like you might just have a hoarding problem. Like how I never use the black lion goods I get from random dailies and completion chests and they just stack up in my bank.

Either that or you’ve got a great opportunity to buy more weapons/armor and give them a special look.

Try buying exotic “pearl” skinned weapons. THAT will get you to use your transmute stones right away. (Sorry to the person who designed them, but those things are pretty ugly)

Please randomly project on the internet to people you don’t know anything about about how they are belittling your disorder.

The common American lexicon uses ADD/OCD to describe a situation in which the ‘average’ person may find themselves. While I apologize if you were offended, I only gave examples to how I would assume those disorders played out with respect to Fashion Wars 2, I didn’t claim to have either one or attack anyone who did.

As to hoarding, there’s nothing for me to do with them except blow them fruitlessly on looks and armors I don’t want? whoopee.

well I, on the other hand, have only 20 and I have to be really really carefull how I spend them because I want to change my look so many times.

Why not just keep it then the moment you die, just it? Then you don’t have to destroy it.

Otherwise I don’t think the 27ish key strokes is going to kill you.

As for the trans charges, they can’t be getting in your way with inventory… So whats the problem?

for the repair canisters: they’d take up inventory space, and are not worth even 1 slot.

for the transmutation charges: because they keep accumulating, and I keep getting “rewarded” with them every time I pvp. They keep getting added to a bigger and bigger pile, and it seems like a waste. I don’t care what I get to do with them, just anything would be super.

If you don’t like them that much, just delete them… You got it for free after all.

If you don’t care what you get to do with them, just waste them on skinning and re-skinning… Other wise save them, maybe some day you will change your mind and be glad you have a bunch of them.

Yes, thank you for summing up the fact that I would rather not randomly waste my charges or rolls upon the Black Lion chest login reward.

Now, moving on from that point, I would like something to actually DO with 300+ charges.

sigh You said

I don’t care what I get to do with them, just anything would be super."

So I took you at your word. Transmutation charges are just for vanity changes, I don’t think we will be seeing anything different for them any time soon. I was just offering suggestions on things you could do with them, or things you could do to waste them.

I really need to specify ‘something useful’?

with suggestions like yours, I may as well add the option to just trade them in for Instant Repair Canisters.

Something useful is a matter of opinion. When you say you dont care what you get to do with them, ANYTHING would be super. You leave a pretty wide range of options with literally no constraints…

Many players enjoy changing their look. So to them changing their look is something useful. I’d love to have over 300 extra charges, I wouldn’t think twice about running different looks every so often. Instead I really have to take time and think about a change because I don’t want to waste the gems/charges.

Maybe you should say what YOU want them to be used for. That way it would be things more geared to what you feel would be good.

I don’t know why having so many of these is an issue to you. They don’t take up any inventory slots and they’re there to change the look of armor if you want to. Should everything have multiple purposes? Why don’t you suggest an alternative purpose for these instead of just saying it’s an issue without any reasons aside from you not caring how your armor looks? Surely you hold some regard for them existing, since you don’t want to waste them.

Well, one thing would be the ability to convert these charges to gold.

After all, they are a gem store item and one charge is worth rougly 4 gold (125 gems = ~20 gold = 5 charges)

Or allow us to buy things with it like skillpoints.

Those who want to reskin can keep the charges and still feel rewarded because you actually save gold if you earn them through pvp. But those who don’t will have some benefit out of them aswell.

In the end, you can convert gold to gems to buy these charges so i don’t see a problem why this could not be possible the other way arround.

Buying something like skill points sounds like a good idea, as long as it stays a cosmetic item.

Converting to gold I’m against, remember the gold to gems market isn’t a standard rate. So the rate you listed would change, while the gold value of these items wouldn’t. Converting to gems would be just as touchy, they are bought with gems, you can’t often turn around and return gem purchases, these really shouldn’t be any different.

Why, uh, why don’t you just….use the item…? 2click and its gone…

I didn’t mean convert to gold in a straight way.

I meant like allowing us to buy crafting bags / armor bag / crystals or stones with them. same stuff like the skillpoint vendor or the stuff you can get from npcs in SW, DT for example.

In the end you can turn skillpoints & karma into gold aswell.

While it’s true you can turn SP and karma into gold, the return ratio is nothing worth writing home about. 4 gold per trans charge would be a HUGE pay out for time invested.

Transmutation charges are not skill points or karma, they aren’t earned in the same way. Each item and currency has a few specific uses, dungeon tokens for buying dungeon armor, karma for karma items, and SP for skills/mystic forge items. Transmutation charges are for transmuting armors appearance. Maybe allowing a person to buy some minor cosmetics would be ok, but I really don’t see why they “need” another function.

I wish you could give them to me. I chew through those things like Skittles.

If you have a legendary skin, you could create a new char and have them run around with the skin. Every time they level up, get a new weapon and change the skin to legendary. You could be that guy that has a level 5 with a twilight. How unique would that be?

Other than that (which is not that useful) i can’t think of anything else to do with them.
