Well, to be fair, I think 1s per waypoint is too little because you’d pay that much to WP in the same map. That’s why I picked 4s as the upper limit, though in reality I think it’s closer to an average of 3s per waypoint.
That being said, nobody needs to justify why they buy it. I’m not some salty tunnelvisioned baddie that is going to judge anyone’s decision regarding only a couple of gems (read the shared inventory slot feedback thread for those). Considering these days that even 2000 gems would not even net you close to full ascended or a precursor, it really is fluff.
Like I said above, even if you simply just like the location itself, that’d probably be in a reason in and of itself, much like many other flavor items from the gemstore. I bought a ore node pack because I didn’t want my home instance to be as empty, for example.
Of course, I think if they extended the ability to where they were for all the passes/home portal stone to return where you were; it’d benefit everyone involved in this discussion and I don’t think it’d be that overpowered. Convenience is king after all.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
