Guild Wars 2

I’ve had over 38k commendations stocked up and now down to 12.5k left
Although I do accept that I can’t get black lion keys out of Lyns anymore, why is there only weapons to buy off of her? Armors or Accessories would be helpful.

What have you bought with them? I have about 6k total but don’t have much to use them on. The gear she vendors can’t be Mystic Forged or salvaged for mats, or even sold to an NPC vendor! I could stock up on tools but that’s using up too much space.

Cladded my not yet 80 necromancer with every possible weapon that it could use.
Bought every weapon on a lv1 mesmer that had any form of condition damage.
Wasted about 4k on buying rare weapons with intent of salvaging before found out you couldn’t.
Bought every single weapon for my elementalist even though I’ll never use them.

Bought about 10 of each harversting material.
Still got a few thousand left.

Still got enough tokens for 1 more class, thinking of making a ranger or thief to drain the rest of the badges.

I dislike the fact they removed keys from this vendor, I have two geared 80’s and nothing she has is of much use (except as filler for my bank slots). if keys are such a bad item to have her carry, why not add armor or mini’s?

I have about 50k left. Just to clarify I got these while keys were available and was intending to spend them on keys before lyns was disabled without warning (even after they had said she wouldn’t be). I don’t have any gold in game because of this unfortunate investment.

I really don’t mind that the keys were disabled but it is a bit strange that there is literally no use for over 1-2k commendations (even though donating 3 exotic trinkets would net you 4k alone).

My subsequent problem is that they have left no alternative to simply destroying something we have spent gold on. This whole thing is a bit ridiculous in the first place but I would be able to accept it if there was just some way I could feel like I’m at least getting something for my gold input. They might as well have just taken 100g straight from my bank.

All weapons are soulbound so I can’t even kit my alts. There are only so many tools you can buy before it becomes ridiculous and too space consuming. Weapons can’t be mystic forged, salvaged or sold to a vendor.

I have a feeling that because only a handful of us got stuck with this that it probably isn’t a big deal for Anet to address. I hope that isn’t the case. Or if they think we are at fault in some way for getting these commendations, can we at least be told why?

I’m in a rush so sorry if this didn’t make that much sense. Thanks for reading my ramblings.
