Guild Wars 2

Real Talk:

Hundreds (maybe thousands) of players will lose thousands of PvP mats come April 15th because there is currently no method to obtain the tokens needed to make items to spend the mats. This is really a silly proposition. Come April 15th, one of the only things that a PvP-only player like myself has acquired since headstart is going to be wiped away. I’m totally fine with that as long as there is a means to spend what I have left.

Imagine if in PvE they did away with Karma, but at the same time did away with all the Karma vendors, removing the ability for people to spend their million karma…PvE players would be in an uproar and the DEVs would fix it. Please fix this.

Proposition: Give 10 or 15 consumable tokens in the daily achievement chest instead of the other useless stuff that currently resides in it. This will give players roughly 9 days incentive to log in and PvP by providing them a means to spend their materials.

Proposition 2 (2 birds, 1 stone): let people trade in 1 glory booster for 1 consumable token.

Thanks.

Personally I’m kind of confused as to why these mats are just plain going away.

Why not convert them into transmutation charges? Dust at 25:1 wouldn’t throw the game out of whack and would still put them to good use.

It seems to be intentional to remove purchasable consumable/gear tokens before the patch. Perhaps not through malicious intent from the Devs but from the “economists” involved in this transition from glory to gold. Just as they didn’t officially announce that the Locker would transition to the Wardrobe, they likely don’t want people with tons of left over PvP mats, legitimately earned I might add, to craft tons of more dyes.

I had also made a thread the Friday of the PvP stream and it received no response from the Devs.

This whole thing is really unfortunate. Even when the game starts heading in the right direction, it does so many wrong things along the way.
