By now a lot of people are still stuck to a lot of glory boosters.
A simple solution to not make them absolutely useless is to make them tradable for a glory consumable.
This way, you can still use glory boosters when you’re playing and get the full benefit.
Or you can trade them in for an amount less than you would get by using them during gameplay.
Lets say each game takes 10 minutes, and you play 4 games each hour.
You would earn about 400 additional glory from this.
Ofcourse, you can earn a lot more glory if you’re trying to be super productive. But I’m trying to get to a fair amount of glory that a glory consumable would give you.
Lets say a glory consumable would give you 250 Glory each.
This way you can get rid of your excessive glory boosters in time, but not get the same benefit as those people who actually used them.
I support! Great idea instead of forcing me to choose between using ~400 hours worth of boosters in an unknown amount of time or to accept that they will be deleted…
Good idea, +1. Lets not waste glory boosters! I have over 200 left still and I can’t use them fast enough!

This would also alleviate the need to phase them out. Right now, you get them so quickly that it takes a lot of pvp just to break even. The first hour is paid for by the daily. Five additional hours are paid for by the monthly. (~1.17 hours per day just to break even). If you do tournament matches in that time, you’ll be getting yet another booster every two days or so. That further increases the number of boosters… For tournament players who don’t buy chests with glory, you’d need to play at least 2 hours a day just to stop your booster count from increasing. That’s a silly expectation. Please let us trade them in for glory.
Well, since Anet is removing glory in future updates, I don’t see where getting more glory would be useful for now. I’d rather sell the booster for some silver, since gold will be the universal currency. What about 10s per booster? 25g a stack doesn’t see so unreasonable

I don’t see the correlation between gold and glory boosters.

Fantastsic idea. It may cause a tonne-o-glory to be given away, but there was always a price to pay when you made them one of the few rewards a player got 99% of the time in spvp. If the rewards had been far more varied the 10 million+ glory boosters wouldn’t have become an issue. The only other way this could go is that every player that has 250 of them just loses them and your rewards that were stored are gone,..thanks for playing.
Anet needs to turn glory boosters to something more responsible. All those daily chests for pvp included glory boosters. PVE daily chests got something more useful and permanent. I don’t see why PVP players have to be screwed over glory boosters when they ARE retroactively being kittened.
Transmute the glory boosts into glory/ rank consumables… Everyone bunkers them, just make them usefull… And if you are doing this, plz keep my 100+ tiger finishers in mind… they are compleately wothless… i can do nothing with them!
Guess this post was overseen ^^
Glad you bring the same idea up and it finaly gets some attention
Any news on this? I am not playing much and I got more from rewards than I could ever use. Even if I did my dailies and used the 1 immediately(might now take longer so I can use more than 1 because we have other dailies now which take longer) I still got a lot from chests(probably still getting?) and from monthly I think.
Have more than 1 full stack. More than 250. And always forgot to use them only for 3 matches I play at a day(I usually played only 3 matches for daily because I also play other parts of the game).
Feels like a waste to throw away all those items.
Even 100 glory would be enough(for salvage kits – I still have stuff to salvage and need to buy kits – or let them trade for other stuff as currency at a vendor).
I think this is a great idea, but please remember that glory boosters are craftable with a consumable token and some mats. So Anet would need to limit the glory to probably only 200 glory per booster to prevent people going crazy making infinite glory loops via chests/salvaging/creating boosters/consuming boosters.
Another suggestion: Turn them into gold boost. 50 percent more money(okay it really is silver) while having such a item equipped. But don’t make it possible to get more of these in the future.
Old players will have a bit more way to make money this way.

Yes this is much better imo.
I don’t want more glory as it’s becoming worthless in the future. I need a way to make gold so I can afford stuff. 15-25s a game is nice but it’s certainly not going to allow me to catch up anytime soon to those who play PvE.

This is probably the best solution/least prone to being exploited.

What’s that you say? 1000% gold Boosters? Sign me up.

Well, 1000% might cause the PvEers to get upset. Let’s make it…820%.
Seriously though, making it an instant consumable worth any more than 200 glory could have bad consequences. Turn it into whatever bonus % the usual gold buffs are (there are gold buff consumables, right?) and you’re good to go.
This is a brilliant suggestion. I could see around 400 glory each. I would also like them to do something with the rank finishers while they are at it. I have around 40-100 of Rabbit, Deer, Dolyak, and wolf finishers just rotting in my storage.
Upvote! Very insightful suggestion by OP. Bump worthy thread.
The amount of time to use up the hundreds of glory boosters would require me to play PvP day in and day out. That’s not even factoring in the rate of which new glory boosters are accumulated. It’s an absurd expectation to put all those glory boosters to use before March 18th. Making glory boosters tradable for glory consumables would be a great compromise.

His idea makes perfect sense. Glory is a currency that lets you buy things. That is being taken away and replaced by a different currency (gold). The best solution for pvpers would be to change glory boosters to gold boosters, although I don’t see it happening.
Good ideea and all but i think Anet was hoping to squeeze a few more playing players with those glory boosters. Sadly the fact that they will get deleted isn’t enough to make many people endure the agony of playing spvp in the state it is now just so they can get a few glory points more.

But spvp is so fun :/ I seriously dont get why ppl are so mad, a lot of the balance qq is just players not knowing when to dodge.
I hope at the same time, they add some new items to the glory vendor. If they are going to allow a cross-over between PvP and PvE skins, let me buy some dragonite.
The official answer (only gem store bought Glory boosters get reimbursed) is a complete letdown.
I hope they reconsider and come back to this thread with the Glory consumable idea.
Simple example:
Max match duration (hotjoin): 15 mins
Points per lost match: 125
→ for 1 hour that makes 125*4 = 500 Glory
→ take half that (since no actual gameplay occured) = 250 Glory on consumption of glory booster
