Guild Wars 2

See Title. Can we have a conversion?

You can already buy shards with the karma you gain from flipping stuff, I don’t really see why it’s needed. But I surely wouldn’t mind more things for BoH.

How about a portable, magical Wheel of Fortune into which you can toss any unwanted account and soul bound stuff for random prizes and surprises?

Mystic Toilet 2.0? I aprove.

obsidian shards? I have always too many of them, even after crafting a legendary.

But I agree, we need a lot more stuff we can purchase using WvWvW currencies.
I have all 9 elite specs unlocked a long time ago via WvWvW (I really hate playing HoT pve). I have over 2000 proofs of heroics unused, over 38k badges unused, despite buying a LOT of siege blueprints, ascended jewelry, ascended upgrades etc.

Please give us more things to buy with WvWvW related currencies!

I’m up for this. Getting too many junk every day i throw out my bags.

Dont you get like WAY too much of them by doing regular reward tracks? And not to forget the karma as mentioned above. Obsidian Shards are one of the easiest currencies to get atm.

- Regular WvW Reward Tracks do offer Obsidian Shards, but the rate they are acquired through WvW tracks is one of the worst methods in the game.
- Conversely, Karma is rapidly earned in WvW, this is true and does have merit. I would even argue that if they really wanted to go with this method, have BoH + Karma (Reduced in comparison to say Temple of Baltazar) to get Obsidian Shards.

I believe we could use another sink for BoH, and without directly impacting the economy yet offering an in-game mode option, I believe Badges to Obsidian Shards is fair.

The big factor is how many Badges to Obsidian Shards? I was actually thinking at the very least 50 Badges (likely more), maybe 30 Badges Plus Karma if we want to start discussing details.
