Guild Wars 2

I understand the need for diversity in our weapon and armour upgrades and all, but I have yet to meet someone who actually uses medallions.

Why do they even exist, when they’re so blatantly overshadowed by runes and sigils? Those drops could be something useful, instead.

I toss them into the Mystic Forge for a chance at Jewelcrafting gems and doubloons.

I might use one as I’m leveling up a character and it’s better than no upgrade, but I almost always vendor them otherwise. That might not be 100% the most efficient use for them (See: Mystic Forge, possible exceptions on the Trading Post,) but it takes up the least mental space to just write them all off as junk now.

Unless there’s a lucrative market in Gemstones that I’m not aware of, the potential profit I’m missing out on seems too small to bother about. I know Silver Dubloons are freakishly valuable, but it’s rare my level 80 characters get marks to forge them, on top of the low yield rate.
