Guild Wars 2

I can make an entire Tengu army with Tomes of Knowledge now, and I play less than many people.
I think Tomes of Knowledge + Badges should be tradable for the best foods. It is a little bit more difficult to acquire than the food that is a tier below it, but I think it will help WvW. It creates a play to win way to get the food that makes certain builds broken like Mussels Gnashblade. The fact that I need to pay exorbitant prices for 30 minute consumables to be relevant is disgusting.
Also, Superior siege. It is expensive. We are poor. We need it. Paper siege is almost useless. More currencies for siege = happy WvWers. Make it unsellable like the WvW food so that it doesn’t blow up the market.

I can understand you wanting something useful to do with your tomes, I have in excess of 1250 also but I think it would be better to just stop giving us so many tomes and instead give us more proof of heroics and the option to buy the highest tier foods with them. Tomes should not be a currency, we have enough currencys as it is.

I don’t think they should stop giving us tomes, because new players will want them. However, I think us veteran players need a way to spend our excess.

I didn’t say stop them completly, I just said stop giving us so many.

We’d still slowly build a massive stash of tomes no matter what. It would just take longer, and some of us are already at that point.

Being able to buy best food for any currency is a bad idea, ruins the economy.

Siege, maybe.

The economy of pay to win consumables? Honestly, the economy on those food items is already busted.

We’ve had a few suggestions on this already, and I think the one I liked best was give us Proof of Heroics instead, and let us BUY tomes for those.

Less clutter, more options, those that want tomes can still get them, the rest can get other stuff. Siege or foods or what nots.

If the foods are that good, just nerf the foods, breaking the economy of the items behind the foods is not going to fix inflated power

This makes the most sense to me

Covert spirit shards to gold and buy food with it. Simple:

Yes, tomes can already be consumed for spirit shards. So there is no problem at all, it can already be converted into a more or less useful currency.

Replace like 80% of the tomes of knowledge in reward tracks with a “box of siege”.
Make box of siege drop 2-3 piece of siege blueprints with slight chance of it being superior…
Or even better replace ALL the tomes in the reward track with something else, and instead make a “lvling track” which gives a bunch of tomes just for those that actually need them.

Honestly I have several stacks of tomes, over 5k spirit shards, and every class I ever want to play already at lvl 80. I DONT NEED MORE TOMES!

Just let us convert tomes to proofs. Make the ratio something like 3-5 tomes gives you 1 proof.
