Guild Wars 2

Reverence.6915:

Gold is meaningless in this game. All my level 80s are decked out in exotics and my 2 mains are partially decked out in ascended as well. All this from running 1 or 2 dungeons maybe once a week and usually just playing WvW. There are tons of other currencies available to get what you need/want. Hell, my guardian was completely decked out in exotic armors and runes from the TP for less than 5 gold.

What would you need gold for anyway? The good looking skins are all grind fests if you want to get them rather than simply purchasing with gold (dungeon armors, crafted legendaries). What else is there left to get?

if you do hearts on maps, and have a bit of karma, you can buy a really nice skins. I don’t mean some showy pinky winky shiny skins, but a normal good looking well presenting skins which you can mix with others and have a really nice effect.
I personally dislike the current shop skin sets, and I would not buy them – they need to put really something nice there.

But like I said, skins from low levels can be mixed and you can get a really good looking output. Especially where the palette of dyes is huge, and you are not bound to one color per part.

Like you have said – you can gear you other chars in full exotic gear in less than 5g.

Is it really hard to get 5g? For me it’s 2 Tequatl runs.
