Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

Is there anything similar to running from GW1 in terms of money making/helping other players? I loved being useful to people and earning gold while doing it and it fit my playstyle which was solo earning money while still helping people.

Thanks!

Some people will solo a dungeon path and then sell spaces in the party for the final boss so people can collect the reward. That’s similar in that it requires a specific build and practice to do it without exploits and it’s something players could do on their own but would rather pay for.

Other than that I don’t think there’s anything really similar.

Jumping puzzles/mesmer portals are probably the closest thing, although most mesmers don’t charge for their services.

• Some dungeons can be soloed and people offer/sell slots for the final boss, earning everyone tokens + the end chest.
• Efficient teams can duo or trio the rest of dungeons and many levels of fractals. Usually people want this for an achievement.
• 6-8 person groups can finish many raids, inviting others to leech (for a cost)

Less effort:

• Mesmer portaling for difficult JPs, usually for tips.
• Hero Point trains in HoT or map completion trains anywhere. I’ve only seen people do this for free, but many of us will tip the commanders.
