Guild Wars 2

The reason I ask the question is that WXP is character progression, generally WVW players dont have much spare in game cash so would have to buy gems with RL cash to get the boosters.

So have Anet finally found a way to monetise WvW and in the process of course made it pay to win?

Of course not. These days we’re lucky if we get 1 good match up every 3 weeks. Why the hell should I buy WXP boosters if I’m rarely playing WvW?

lol its super expensive, would never use it except if i had thousands of spare gems and bought everything else available for gems.

I purchased 15 straight up. To my loss as I purchased it with a character I don’t use regularly in WvW right now. With the amount of years it would take to level all characters with all unlocks this is really bad for me They should be account bound at least when you buy them. There was no warning saying it would be immediately soulbound to the character your on when you buy them…

Ouch, well your loss is Anets gain I guess you will just buy 15 more on your main if you really want them so much.

i play wvw only. over the day i have a + from maybe 5gold (oil/Food/siege is not for free). spend that 5 Gold for a booster? no thanks. i have maxed out my defense against guards, so there is no need for lvl my wxp faster.

I’m not sure why T1 would have anything to do with this. The “Karma train” is fairly unlikely to happen for a full hour to get a full use of the booster. All 3 servers happen to be very good at defending.

As for the topic, Wouldn’t go as far as say its pay to win. None of the WXP skills are completely game changing, they sure help in different situations but a team with a bunch of traits could get wiped out just as easily as people with out.

I’ll buy a 3 pack and see how much I get a chance to use them. The hours I play are typically not karma train friendly so I don’t see how I could get equal value for the investment though.

Will the boosters effect the wxp drink? If so you might buy one if you had a stack to burn on an alt.

Yes and No, the boosters effect the liquid WXP right now but they plan to make it the same as Karma.

Its not something I asked for and Anet doesnt market it like something I would want. Therefore: never.

Of course not.

1) WXP is useless because i don’t really care too much about any of the current upgrades lines in the game.

2) WXP doesn’t even mean anything. Mindless zerging gives you a higher rank than skilled players who roam, defend or scout.

3) And it’s expensive as hell.

Out of curiosity, If said “skilled” roamer joins the zerg, are they not skilled anymore? I roam/scout/defend/zerg, quite successfully does that make me skilled or not skilled? Are you generalizing “skill” to the point that individual skill trumps group skill?

I’m really good in 1v1 I must be really good in Tpvp…

Never…they probably didn’t even as WXP boosters to achievement chests

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. Formula driver doesn’t lose his skillz when he is driving to the shop, but he isn’t using his skills when doing so either.

It more to the point that people are lumping everyone that zergs to be mindless and unskilled, yet roaming is the only way to be considered skilled. For the formula driver, he may not be using the same skills while driving to the shop but those skills probably still influence his overall skill as a driver.

No, I don’t plan on buying anything from the Trading Post.

If WXP was account bond I would probably buy it, but as it is now it’s just not worth it.

No
15 kittening letters.

Nope, I’m darn (the other d word was censored for some reason) near rank 300 now and running out of things to put points into now. If however they came up with a defender line, I would buy enough to get that mastery maxed quickly.
