Guild Wars 2

NOTE: This is a x-post from reddit, please share and discuss

The point i would like to highlight is that, with the LWs3, we are in the same situation as old Dry Top and Silverwastes: Geodes and Bandit Crest were tokens, as Bloody Rubies (BR) and Petrified Wood (PW). Then, Anet converted them in currencies and now they are where they belong: in the wallet.
Why the lack of consistency? If an item is used to buy something, then it’s a currency! I also know that BR and PW can be salvaged to Unbound Magic, but I think that adding a line to a vendor list can be the same thing.
Onestly, I hope that this will be fixed in the near future, since we are, probably, going to receive a new map (and a new currency) for every LWs3 episode.
Your opinion?

Unlike Geodes and Bandit Crests, this would be more of a tradeoff. Both Petrified Wood and Blood Rubies can be directly sold for quite some hefty gold, which I approve more than having another useless currency stack, but it could be worked around (e.g. having merchant sell trash items in the same gold value). Indeed, if the trend of new currency item per map continues, this will get incredibly annoying incredibly fast.

B-rubies and P-wood are both salvageable (into map currencies) and used as tokens. They are one of those hybrid items that can’t be simply converted to the wallet.
