Guild Wars 2

I’ve done several different MMO"S and this one is beginning to be like all the others and has too many currencies. Everything tries to make you do something you probably don’t want to do in order to get what you want. You want this armor you gotta do that dungeon to get the currency. I get it, you made the game, you want people to do all the sections. But they are not going to. They are going to do what they enjoy and complain about the rest.

But the problem is you keep adding new currencies without updating the old ones. I got more karma than I need and nothing to spend it on. The karma armor is not to my liking, sorry. The cultural armor is very expensive for level 80 gold armor, when you can get exotic why bother for and achievement. Even if I do like some of the styles you can get better armor for less. You should upgrade the top level of cultural to exotic and make it the same stats as the other exotic armors. I’m not spending all that money to use the cultural for a skin on exotic armors for a look.

Give us more to spend karma on besides the armors in Orr. Give us a currency exchange. Also we need more armor styles than we currently have. My mesmer and my ele should not wear the same clothes. You took a short cut there.

I like the laurels. The stuff you can buy is good but basicly makes all the other stuff out dated. It takes about a month and a bit to get one piece of the pink gear. So to get all 5 pieces per toon you need about 8 to 9 months. A baby is easier to get.

On karma: there’s a few karma sinks available. Orrian jewelry boxes contain some unique endless tonics and a mini, and also have chances of dropping lodestones and obsidian shards. You can also try your hand at the mystic forge trying to upconvert masterwork gear from level 70+ hearts, which can give rares → ectos/money

On laurels: only amulets require laurels; there are other methods for getting rings and earrings.

I don’t mind that there’s lots of currencies everywhere; each form of currency gives incentives to try out different areas of the game, and it’s rare that something with any statistical value can only be acquired through a single token currency (Gift of Battle/Dungeon gift/Ascended Amulet/Backpiece is about it)

Only real issue I have is with losing all my inventory space to tokens because they don’t stack above 250. We really need them to be removed and just have tokens tied to the account in the same way laurels and gems work, imo.

Oh yes and 2 new currencies today to help fill up storage.
