The most popular argument against poor Evon is that “he gives us RNG boxes, so vote against him as punishment for RNG!”…
But people saying that are forgetting ALL the good things he’s doing! If we’re going to blame him as the NPC incarnation of what the devs are doing with the echonomics of the game, then blame him for ALL THINGS INCLUDING EVERYTHING GOOD related to the echonomics, not just for the RNGs because you’re mad at them and can’t think about everything else in your seek for punishment.
Remember the days in Spamadan in GW1 trying to sell something for hours until you managed to find someone interested but not at your price? Remember all that lost time? (for those who didn’t play GW1 or similar games, it was a huge lot of time if you wanted a right price).
I’m glad of the new BLT Company trading system that makes life super easy and you can find literally anything you need, and I was an EXPERT trader that got a lot of benefit from the old system in GW1. I didn’t farm, I commerced, bought and sold, bought and sold and got good money out of that (I managed to get some things completly free by buying and selling them multiple times until I covered the cost with benefits), talking to players and convincing them with good words that my prices were the right ones (note: I never tried to scam, I would only deal what the other player had personally agree on and I always whispered players back after realizing they accidentally payed more than what we talked to return them their money or cancelled trades if I saw them offering more than what we talked).
I know because of how much I traded that most of you would have much less gold by now. People like me would DESTROY you in commerce in the old system (so you can thank Evon for keeping us from tearing your pockets) and you would spend hours and hours trying to sell your stuff (and time = money, lots of money when you think about all the time spent in Kamadan, start thanking Evon too for all that time you’ve saved thanks to his commerce system), probably selling most to a merchant when all your bank slots are filled and you can’t sell anything. That last part is what makes the system good too for hunters like me and other players that got benefit from the old system, as it was time consuming and now you can try to get your offer and put your item there (recently I got 10gold for a Sentinel insignia I placed during F&F for example) and just wait, but you can access everything and you can quickly sell all the small stuff whenever you want.
Trading is way easier and player echonomy way more stable thanks to our friend Evon Gnashblade (and the developers that he represents).
And what about all those cool items in the Gem Store that you see all the time? They’re Evon’s fault too and I’m not seeing anyone saying “Evon sold the unlimited tools, the instruments and all those skins… vote Kiel so we can stop him!!”.
If you people want to vote against Evon BECAUSE you think of him as the NPC incarnation of echonomics in this game, then get your facts right and start thanking him (and as he’s the NPC incarnation, in the process thank all those Devs putting hard work in the commerce system and Gem Store items).
He’s not ONLY RNG boxes, he’s all that stuff that is making your life easy.
I’m going to copy and paste this thread link to anyone saying “if you vote Evon you will support RNG, vote Kiel instead” as it’s getting too common and it’s insulting for all the good things related to commerce in this game.
