Guild Wars 2

I was unaware that arranging trades of GW2 currency for GW1 items and currency was against the rules. I certainly do want to earn more HOM rewards though – what do you all think about the ability to purchase various GW1 items and currency through the Black Lion Trading Company?

GW1 is basically dead now so adding this feature would allow people to acquire HOM points more easily without (unknowingly) breaking the rules by posting requests on the forums ;-P

No offense, but I have to respectfully disagree with this suggestion. HoM Rewards shouldn’t be offered in any other manner because I believe the spirit in which it was designed was solely for recognition of achievements earned for players of Guild Wars1. Many people, myself included put a lot of time into GW1, and offering those vanity items for sale would IMHO only cheapen the acknowledgement of those earned achievements.

Eh I suppose you are right; I have a fair amount of points that I have earned through playing GW1 and only need a few more to get all the vanity rewards I want. Thge main problem is that now that the game is a ghost town it is nearly impossible to get more points >.<. You are right though.

afaik,other than hm missions,everything is doable with h/h

PvP and mini collecting are not doable without other players. That is mainly what I am missing. Perhaps once they add interesting weapon skins I won’t care as much but for now the ones that interest me are purely the HOM ones.

I completely understand how you feel, I fell 3 points shy of where I wanted to be with HoM, and with player trades grinding to a halt it makes acquiring those last few points a much longer time-sink, time that I would of course rather be spending GW2.

Perhaps there is a solution that ANet could offer that would maybe make some of the achievements more accessible to casual and/or late day players. I was really unhappy to see how ridiculously grind-heavy some of the old achievements were drinking, chest opening, and the like. Some of these took years to complete, for little to no in-game or HoM recognition outside of a GW1 title.

Either way, i hope your able to acquire the points you need to get the items you want, good luck!
