Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if the Tournament players have to pay for access to the restricted amulets, runes, and grandmaster traits like the rest of us have to do in order to gain access to “balanced” sPvP?

Or is access provided for them? Do they have to run out before the Tournaments and complete the PvE events necessary?

I was a bit surprised to see that certain traits, runes, and amulets were “pay to access” as I thought the whole point of sPvP was that everyone was supposed to have equal access to them to keep things balanced. So, it occurred to me, “How do the players in the Tournaments gain access to these?”

Do they pay? Do they run out and do PvE? Do they just get access to them for free?

Thanks.

i got them through playing pvp. very few of the unlocked traits are ever used in pvp anyway.
No one really uses the amulets either.

That’s strange because I have seen some of the builds and I definitely saw some Traveler’s Runes being used. I had to pay gold to unlock those.

How can you get them through PvP?

Thanks.

you get gold and skillpointz from pvp – so no problem

1. “I definitely saw some Traveler’s Runes being used.”

That’s true, and I’d say that’s the only rune you need to buy. Some people will also buy sigil of generosity, and some of the grandmaster traits. All in all, there are very few things you need to buy, and it’s not a problem, just a minor inconvenience.
