Hello everyone I think I like this idea in sPvP, but is it possible to pay with ingame gold? Dont tell me you can only pay with gems and “tickets” you get from tourney chests…
No one heard about the introduction of rentable arenas in sPvP ? (aka “custom arenas”)
If you can pay with gems, you can pay with gold, by purchasing gems.

Good point !
Personally i think it will work like other games, real money, Why ?
Gems will be too easy to obtain through gold so unless its a lot of gems, say 10000 for a month’s usage, (which if you were to convert into the current RM purchasing of gems, would = a really overpriced custom server, comparitive to server rental of other games), i think they will go for the RM rental, because unlike gems which can be purchased for gold, they will make real funds to support the cost of running custom servers and bandwidth requirements.

Isn’t that the point of gems? Why shouldn’t you be able to convert gold to gems and rent a server? They have a currency value attached to them by Anet and are supposed to be interchangeable.
Because the cost of Gold for Gems Fluctuates and can have no RM attachment, imagine 5000 servers at the time custom servers are released, now imagine everyone pays in gems, but they purchased the gems through gold they got in game, that means that the cost of running these servers will be entirely on Anet.

If gems have a currency value (as they are trying to force) that shouldn’t matter.
