Guild Wars 2

I am triggered by inconsistency. Apparently. Unfortunately this is only a question that ANET could possibly remedy. Why are the skirmish weapons all the same ticket price?

It is evident in other places (within WvW even) that single handed weapons usually have a reduced token price. I made a picture to illustrate this further. I am okay with memories of battle as they are for a proper gold sink mechanic. Tickets are timegated, so I’m not okay with this implementation, and thus the triggered question.

Forgot to mention that the exotic versions in the skirmish vendor are also all the same price with respect to tickets. Which is completely irrelevant if you take the “Hero Weapon Reward Track” that unlocks both the exotic, and ascended skirmish weapons. You may as well just go for the ascended at that point to save on tickets…

Why is this?

the hero weapon track only gives the basic version. The mistforged weapon also has the particle effect.

Why is this?

Hero weapon =/= Mistforged hero weapon

I am aware the track weapon’s skin lacks the particles and is different from the skirmish vendor’s.

I am annoyed about the ticket prices. I suggested it is more efficient to do the track, then go straight for the ascended version. Which makes the exotic skirmish weapons sort of pointless. I also hope I got across that 1handed shouldn’t have the same ticket price of 2handed weapons.

It’s indeed weird. Usually, it’s 2-handed > 1-handed > off-hand only.

Good luck having an answer on this.

Indeed. I was hoping to nip this issue in the butt before it becomes a more noticeable problem after everyone has blown their tickets on the backpack.

You mean “nip it in the bud”? ( I always thought of it like cutting off a flower bud, before it has chance to bloom).
Nipping something in the butt has a VERY different meaning ;-)

LOL, that’s true. However I ain’t changing nothin’.
