Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else feel like the new rate at which you acquire memories of battle is a fraction of what it was. After spending the better part of my day in WvW I got 20 levels.

Prior to the quarterly update I would have received 3-5 memories per level. I should be sitting on, on average, 75 memories for those 20 levels. Instead, I have amassed an impressive 20 with the new time gate.

Why is a decrease like this necessary? To cut the rate of gain to a FOURTH of what it was seems drastic. Are other people seeing this as well? Am I missing a way to get memories off battle?

Memories of battle were introduced as a way for full time WvW players to earn income. They drastically miscalculated however and then with the cut to new legendary weapons as well, the price of these dropped to ~50c each.

They have adjusted the drop rate to increase the price of these so that full time WvW players can earn a proper income. It will probably take a few months for all the extras to work their way out of the system, but expect the price to rise to ~10s or more, giving WvW players a much better income.

^ Same for Shards of Glory for PvP. I’m not sure they will ever fix those though.
