Guild Wars 2

Hey Anet, can you bring back some of the old vendors to trade in old content?

Favor of the Festival, blade shards, Queen’s Gauntlet tickets, scarlet’s keys, festival ticket scraps, fortune scaps even from last year, etc.. it’s really frustrating them taking up the space on our bank and we even still receive them whenever we mine or open up chests.

We don’t even know if you’ll bring those events back (or at least their NPCs) that’s why we’re forced to keep them around and save ourselves from the pain of re-grinding for them again.

Like this previous festival, I am rather surprised that there are no Sovereign Weapon merchies anymore, not even extended for at least even a week, for players who weren’t able to trade in their claim tickets and tokens during the festival. So unlike Guild Wars 1 where the vendor stays around for a bit even after the event has ended.

So can you bring back those vendor NPCs even just for a limited time please? Or at least a one week after event period?

Where would this Black Lion Vendor happen to be?

There is one in every town, for example near the Accountancy Waypoint in the middle of Rata Sum (should left of the trading post if I remember correctly).

There’s no such thing as a “Black Lion Vendor” according to the wiki. The Black Lion Armor Trader only converts your town clothes, and the Black Lion Weapons Merchant only sells weapon skins for Black Lion Claim Tickets.

I would also really like a vendor who accepts these currencies.

Upvoting this because I have still have stacks of Festival Tokens that I neglected to cash in.

You can get a lot of the season 1 rewards from the laurel vendor now, including many of the items that you could purchase with the festival tickets. They cost a fair few laurels (25 I think) + some gold, but they are there if you need them.

it is not that we don’t have the rewards (well most of) but that we have the ‘currecy’ that buys us none but uses storage.
Would be nice if you cloud always convert it into the new currencies at 2=> 1 rate and only one single 1=>1 in odd cases. Best would be if that were account bound.
Eg take all tokens and convert it into sand, well the sand gives you hardly anything, so this would better be a 1 => 30 conversion (opened a stack yesterday got nothing)

This thread gets a big plus from me, I still have (had) various ´belongings´ and other stuff in my chest from the LA event, as merchants just disappeared at some point…

As far as ´NPC´ available for this kind of ´get rid of event items´ perhaps some of the Karma Vendors (that seem to sell the same 3 things all over the world) could be converted to take it event items for a considerable amount of time after events.

And-or design events with the end of them in mind, so make sure there is an NPC available to sell/hand-out all of the event rewards for a 2 week period after an event has ended, an perhaps offer small other rewards for the event tokens-items for the period there after, for all I care these are the same boxes for every event… set for a different token after each event, for the time until the next event ends (or possibly even with ´tabs´ for each of the events).
