Guild Wars 2

Now I know Anet must love alt accounts because we get side income through laurels and they get more games sold. Everyone wins. While I do not possess sales statistics, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that existing players wishing to make more gold are a significant chunk of buyers during the sales they regularly have for the game.
This concerns me because, as a player with two alt accounts, I expect that the upcoming map reward changes will cause a permanent decrease in T6 mat prices. If alt accounts lose the ability to generate good gold, Anet loses the interest of existing players and that means decreased sales. So here appears my question: What is the purpose of an alt account post HoT launch? Can it be guessed that new opportunities to make gold will arise to keep players interested in buying Alts during sales or as a casual player will I just have to accept taking a hit to my wallet and having to spend laurels on non-lucrative items?

TL;DR What is a good reason to have Alts after T6 prices plummet

Do you have 4 of the 5 starting slots in the level 20 range and parked at the ends of good JPs? You only need one to collect the laurels, after all.

And while prices may go down, some may go up as well. We’ll be seeing people needing new sets of gear with different stats on them for raids, instead of everyone defaulting to ‘zerker. And who knows what we’ll need for guild halls and precursor crafting. I’d say that if the prices on T6 stuff drop, you should just build up your laurels and watch the markets. You’ll find a use for them eventually, and the more you have the better you can cash in when it arrives.
