Guild Wars 2

Yes i know the filthy rich will just say ‘have a cry’ which is exactly what i plan on doing

ArenaNet have made it very clear that gw2 is all about having fun via doing what you want. For example if you purely want to pve and live in the dungeons you may do so, sPvP you say, never leave the mists and have fun, if you want to craft/gather go ahead, build your tent by the trade broker no problems. So if i want to live in WvWvW then i shouldn’t be penalized.
My ‘cry’ is about the cost of repairing gear… its only 1s and few bronz everytime you die you say. So unless your pressing number 2 on siege, your gonna die alot.
Whats that you say “stop dying then”, can;t be helped my friend its WvWvW, which equals zerg fest.
For all those who do live in W3 will understand what i mean by zerg fest. Yes i understand that to help our pcs not have a heart attack, they have implemented an extremely annoying program which prevents me seeing the horde of darkness until my face is rubbing against their chest hair. By at which point your selecting your waypoint for resurrection.
This is not my fault, i didn’t program it like it is. If a pc is going to struggle without this program, id like to see how a console is going to take it. Ive read that people with top notch systems are also having this issue.

To buy siege it cost min 6s i think and up to 1g max, no single reward in w3 gives 20-30s let alone 50s -1g. ive spent well OVER 1g just on upgrading towers, to see them get overtaken. Which by the way isn;t the problem. Taking towers and keeps every 5min is fine, that’s just w3 for you. Its the added cost of having to repair gear after every death.

Ive done a little bit of pve, gotten to level 80 having completed my lvl 1-35 areas. PvE in gw2 is mind boggling boring. Events get old, always fight centures or bandits, anyway thats for a different topic. However if i died in PvE then fine, ill cough up the cash to fix my gear. After all its my fault for pulling more mobs, not watching their patrol range etc etc.
In W3 you just get zerged. The costs of repairing gear, upgrading towers, upgrading supplies(which do go down every 2-3min) and buying blueprints is ridiculous. Drop the costs of the mentioned things.
We fight our guts out to either win for our server and feed all the goodies/benefits for the PvE’ers’ who don’t even know what w3 is. OR we come second and get nothing from it but leave with a gaping big hole in our pockets.

This is NOT FUN ArenaNet NOT fun at all.

I would suggest that you take a moment and track how much coin you are making.

When I started tracking my coin going into WvW and my coin after WvW I discovered that I was making money even with the occasional death.

If you are taking objectives or defending and getting events rewarded then you should be making coin.

I don’t know perhaps your just better at hoarding money then iam. If the occasion arises where my team needs me to setup a treb or balista, i just go grab it. Or i feel the need to increase supply to a tower/keep, then ill cough up the 10s at the supply depot to upgrade it, knowing that it could get taken over at any moment. I suspect its a bit less costly in the BL, but i only hit up EB and only use BL for the JP while waiting for EB. I think it would be a bit more hectic in EB.
Who knows.

It’s funny, just today I was thinking that siege equipment needs a significant increase in price now that people have stashed away some coin.

It sounds like your problem is the cost of siege equipment and upgrades, not repair costs.
