Guild Wars 2

…compared to the amount of gold to be made just playing the game, or am i the only one who thinks this? Some balance would be nice.

i think it’s good that its relativity high and that income is relativity low, it prevents the economy being destroyed by everyone having 20g+

I have no issue with the travel or repair prices. Selling junk usually can cover a majority of that plus the in game quest pay offs. I dont even pay attention to the cost of those. Find an event in your starting area, collect your first payoff and you are usually golden after that

I hardly use the travel system. I walk to where i have to go, collecting nodes along the way to help me along in crafting, and kill mobs so i get at times good drops, but mostly junk to salvage or sell. I find it a fun way to make a few silver quickly incase i do die and need repairs or if i have to travel to a point that has a champion or good event up. That way i dont touch my gold that is saved up in my bank. On a god day i can usually make between 50s to 1g. Depending what i do and where i go

I noticed that the higher your level the more you pay for waypoint use. At first I was using waypoints a lot, but then when I noticed the increased fee I decided I could save some silver by walking. And as pointed out, you can collect resources as you go. I do think they are a bit high. You can travel to the mists pvp area for free and then use the portal there to get to Lion’s Arch. That will at least get you to one of the major cities at no cost. I think income is a bit too low at this point. It would be nice to have a little more gold for buying crafting resources like those tiny claws, scales, etc. But once the economy gets better established it will probably all balance out.
