It’s definitely not just because I’m lazy, but can we get some kind of WvW based exchange for Tomes of Knowledge? sPvP gets glory, PvE gets running around Lion’s Arch in circles constantly, we don’t have any.

What are your opinions?

Amazing, just do it, so much hate leveling alts, because if done in WvW I hurt my server (very hard to not to, and still gain XP), and I can’t play anything else than WvW, sorry, just can’t. Voted for, click on OP post +1 (not sure if anyone reads these threads anyway, but let’s hope)

Would love it if they offered something like this, bonus leveling for playing in the game mode I love. But wvw is always last in consideration for stuff like this. I think they view badges as badly as they view karma now, too easy to get, and a starter currency that they don’t want to add much to anymore. Look at how many currencies they’ve added to the game since the beginning to avoid using karma.

Another derailing post. ^^

yes please! I try out new classes to use them in WvW and I do not like PVE and would rather roam in WvW than spvp.

Please implement this so I can level up my necro and maybe try ele at last.

Awesome idea, would probably be really simple to introduce aswell, id suggest some conversions though else ull see 1000 badges for 1 tome,

it would be nice to be able to buy both sets of book things. i tend to set up entire maps with defensive siege, and the skill points are my bottleneck. dropping regular siege just doesn’t cut it these days.

Is leveling really that hard?

I have 13 tomes of knowledge sitting in my bank because I tend to save them for the last few levels on the way to 80 because its annoying to gear for level 75 when you could get on with the business of gearing permanently for level 80, but on the whole level just seems pretty simple (I have nine 80s on my account).

I’m not against it, I’m just surprised by the enthusiasm for it.

I’m not against it, I’m just surprised by the enthusiasm for it.

Those tomes do require you to either have run around LA spamming 1 on mobs for a good few hours or played in countless sPvP matches though, all I’m saying is there should ideally be an alternative for those of us that don’t find that entirely appealing. I had about 6 tomes from wherever else you can get them, rewards for something or other or birthdays or idk, spent them all on my latest 80 from 74 up, and now I’m stuck for the rest really.

Levelling isn’t impossibly hard but there are a few problems with it; as people have already said, by doing so in ways you are hurting your server, by playing your ‘gametype’ as you do so. Secondly there’s always our middle child syndrome – why ANet gives all the love (easy levelling) to the other two. Lastly it does take ages running around standing in every cap circle you see, then getting ganked by 3 of the other server and swapping back to your main because ‘I so could have taken them’. I think that last one was more lethargy than logic, but you get my point.

Also I think it would go a decent way towards pacifying people, I mean we do love levels and being listened to and that.

Maybe the thing we need is simply insta-level 80 in WvW (as it works in SPvP) and no upscaling bull kitten.

I wouldn’t say no to this.

In sPvP you don’t earn XP so you need the tomes to level a character but in Living Story you earn XP and tomes so what the hell?

WvW is already by far the slowest form of levelling in the game, unless you enjoy PvDtrain gameplay.

I think this would be a great equalizer.

one user above suggested 100 badges + 25silver = tome

if we scale that out,
8000 BoH + 20G = Lvl 80. + 1250 BoH for Invader’s gear
(since you spent all your gold earned in wvw on tomes. Not that you got a lot of gold anyway)

Perhaps 15 silver per tome to make it a touch more affordable

Some good reasons why it would be a good idea :

1) We would have less rallybots.
2) We could create more and more chars of different classes.
