Guild Wars 2

How about replacing two of the tomes of knowledge instead of the transmutation charges?

i agree, i’ve recently instantly levelled 2 chars to 80 and i still have around 100 tomes..
however i only have something like 20 transmutation charges.
(which i’ll burn through really quick if HoT has nice weapon/armour skins)

perhaps they should give you a chest (similar to the weapon/armor skin chests)
that lets you pick either a BLC Key, transmutation charges or tomes.

WE both know that they could have done it, but instead want to reduce the amount of “free” money they give out.

I am for it less tomes, but realistically I dont see that changing.

Why not give people the choice between a tome or transmutation charge? I’m not a developer and I don’t know how much work would be involved into coding this, but to me it doesn’t sound like a huge ordeal to give out a little box with one of your choice.

I understand people want to level through PvP but there are plenty of us with stacks and stacks of tomes we can’t use anymore because the keyfarming got changed. Hell, I’ve started throwing tomes on joke characters with full pink armor and the most ugly items I could find.

Absolutely in favor of this suggestion. We need to replace the tomes of knowledge in the reward tracks with shards of glory, not transmutation charges. Transmutation charges are one of the few things that keep PvP reward tracks consistently feeling rewarding.

While I agree that it’d be nice to give people the choice, at a minimum we should not be giving up transmutation charges no matter what. That’s what keeps a lot of casual players playing PvP.

This is actually a great idea. Anyone who does even a moderate amount of PvP ends up with more tomes than they will ever know what to do with. I already have over 400 and 15 lvl 80s. I could always use more transmutation charges though

I know that in the Guild Halls videos from Guild Talk that Tomes of Knowledge are required for upgrading your Guild Halls. So, you might actually be wanting more tomes rather than less. Not sure on the numbers though but just a thought. The option idea is good though giving players the option to pick.

Edit: Also the tomes of knowledge is like getting exp from killing mobs/players in other areas of the game. You are basically saying you want to remove the exp and get gems (gemstore item) instead.
