Guild Wars 2

Why are they temporary?

I’m of course mostly referring to the ones that cost gems.

First, If you mostly spvp, you probably dont have gold to transfer to gems.

Second, majority of people (possibly all) are not willing to whip out their wallet to buy a few hours of having a unique finisher….

Like if i buy it in bulk for 5 dollars worth of gems i get 5 hours of a speacial finisher when i decide to use that to finish someone. Oh la de da.

It doesnt add up with other things i could spend money on… if it was something i kept forever, i would (as would most people) be 100x more likely to buy it. As it would be worth money, because it would be something i would continue to benefit from.

If theres an arguement why these are temporary i’d love to hear it, because right now i can see no logical explanation.

“New featured item: everlasting finishers. Get them now at the low low price of 1600 gems!”

This!!

If finishers were permanent i know everyone would buy a few. And it shouldnt be gamebreaking since we already have infinite finishers from ranks.

So you want to monetize pvp? Then do it. But if we buy something it has to be permanent!
