Guild Wars 2

So you say. If you have some internet flatrate and you are on holidays its not fair because you dont use it ? You can use it as long as the flatrate goes. Even 24h. I m fine with that pricing think about high rank tpvp teams who need to pay for every hour they are using it. They wont be able to pay that price forever :b.

Edit: plus there would be unlimited ghost arenas :o

Guild Hall i miss you so much….like pretty much everything else..

I kinda don’t have a problem with the price of the custom arena starter kit, nor the price on the time tokens, I just have a problem with the grace period before the arena you’ve paid so much on is deleted!!!!! :O
Can’t they just hide it from the server list after a certain period of time after it runs out of charge? Why delete it? I don’t want to buy another arena just because, let’s say we didn’t play in that arena for a month!

uhm, you do know that every server rental works like this?

if you rent a CS/BF/CoD/whatever, you pay the whole month, regardless if you play on it or not

also, after the first “free” month, you will always pay with daily tokens, so I don’t see any problem with current pricing.

I bought a Custom Arena Starter’s Kit, and noticed the time ticks away regardless whether you’re making use of your “private server” or not.

Custom Arena’s are meant to practice, and test in PRIVATE; I should not have to pay for any second the game is not being used.

TL;DR – Paying whilst not using any bandwidth is ridiculous.

No different than renting a home/apartment, but only inside part of the day.

If you rent something for a month – then you rented it for a month.

If you choose not to play during that time frame then perhaps you should have reconsidered when you rented the server and perhaps postponed it until you had the availability to play.

I never thought common sense was such a rarity until this generation.

I feel like once you buy your own kit you always have access to a server (if you purchase time) Once your server looses time it is removed from the list, but not your inventory….I’m not paying $20 every time I come back from vacation, or if I’m deployed… I find it to make more sense that you would just have to add more time with the tokens…after the grace period. But once again Arena net disappoints me again.

Arenas get deleted if you don’t add time to them within a certain amount of time? Seriously???

Should have to pay to do our instanced story quests.

Yeah, the second most expensive gem-store item destroys itself without warning about it before purchase, if you don’t add time from the gemstore max every 2 weeks.

Where do you want them to get money from? They already have a very little pvp team if you don’t sell them we don’t get balance I really wish they could add more stuff everybody want to buy so they can balance this game already.

Where did gw1 get the money from? Anet is not in a financial crisis. The fact we have to pay for custom arenas at all with only a conquest mode is a huge turn off for a game’s spvp population that may or may not be dwindling but is certainly frustrated.

PVP isn’t monetized at all..
Devs realised that monetizing WvWvW was much easier…

I don’t like to compare apples to oranges but look at MOBA and how they’ve monetized pvp…

Maybe letting pveers use their gemshop skins in pvp is the answer?
The easiest way to do this is to make Gem skins unlockable in the Achievement bar.. Got the skin from the gem shop?
You got it in pvp AND pve.

Just look at the achievement weapons, you unlock em you got em, can’t salvage em either so you can’t exploit the PVP mystic forge for useless components.

All gem store weapons need to work like this, there’s too many kittenty pve+rs running around saying they don’t wanna look like peasants since they already bought so many skins from the gemshop for pve+.

I’m not saying give em their cultural armor and skillgendaries.. but atleast make their gem shop items transferable (even if they’ve already used them)

Same thing with PVP gemshop skins..

You think nickle and diming people forcing them to choose where they can use their gem shop skins is a good idea?.. It’s really not.

Maybe there is one or two guys running around with a greatsaw on each character in pvp/pve but honestly I don’t think so.
