Guild Wars 2

I am playing GW2 casually and purely for the fun of it, not any grinding. And I dont have enough currency to respec my traits. Why did you put a fee into respecing in the first place? whats the point of it? shouldnt respecing be all for the fun of playing new interesting builds?

Because it’s a gold sink, a means by which the developers permanently remove currency from the economy in an attempt to keep inflation in check.

Less than 4s is expensive?

Isnt it only 3s to respec? I dont mean to sound nasty but unless youre standing around all day not playing the game its hardly a problem to get 3s.

While I agree that they really shouldn’t have put a fee on something like that, it’s REALLY not very much money.
If you’re THAT strapped for cash, get a copper sickle and gather a potato farm and sell it on TP, that’s more than enough for the respec.

Respecs are hilariously cheap. They are just a huge inconvenience. I would pay quite a few gems for the ability to have 2 or more trait pages stored for out-of-combat swaps.

3.5s at max is really not that much unless you are respeccing literally constantly.

edit: unless you are one of those noobs who thinks you need to buy the book every time you want to respec?

is there another way to respec other than buying the book each time?

ah ha! so we’ve found the real problem.

Go talk to your trainer and pick the option that says “I want to relearn my traits” rather than the option that takes you to the books.

Yes there is an option available below the books when you talk to the trainer

Ouh. Yes. Talk to your trainer and ask him to reset your traits. He will charge you a little less than 4s for that. Respeccing is dirt cheap in this game.
