Guild Wars 2

So a lot of us think that WvW is very low on the priority list for A-Net because we don’t spend near the amount of $/gold on the gem store… amirite?

Why the kitten haven’t A-Net introduced WvW exclusive armor and weapon skins yet?

Cost 400 gems plus X-amount wvw tokens… yadayadayada

That’s just a made up myth. Has there been any official statement that that’s actually the case? I don’t think so.

WvW players are generally poorer than PvE players. The rewards for WvW are miniscule in comparison to PvE. Yet WvW players do buy skins, and other gemstore items: you always see them in WvW immediately upon release. So I think an argument can be made that WvW players might spend more on gems per capita than PvE players.

Well, it’s an argument I see tossed around a lot. Didn’t mean to ruffle your Jimmies, just posting a thought I had.

I play WvW and i bought gems and i think there are more WvW Gamer that bought gems i do not think this is the reason WvW gets ignored.

I’ve bought a metric ton of gems but most in my (almost exclusive WvW guild) rarely do. Citing yourself as an example is silly. Again, this is an argument I’ve seen bandied about many times. I was just offering a very easy solution.

As a WvW player, there’s precious little in there that I need, or I would, happily, spend more on gems. Primarily I’ve used gems for gold conversion and finishers. I do love finishers, and would like to collect them at all although not really at 600-800 gems per pop.

Because I don’t farm PvE events, I used gem-to-gold conversion to fund my solo storage guild’s influence (with scrolls) so I could put +5 on camps as well as offer all available buffs on a keep I claimed. That and the constant expenditure of superior siege were, aside from occasional buildcrafting, what I needed gold for.

Under the new system though I can forget about +5 and other buffs, and what with the pay2win classes’ survival and damage ramped up to the max I doubt I’ll need finishers much either.

The money is there, Arenanet just don’t understand the game mode enough to monetize on it.
