Guild Wars 2

I am pretty new to the game. Just joined at friends’ behest. I want to get a headstart and buy some gold with the gems I got with the game but it won’t let me spend them. Says Error Permission denied. I’m assuming it is a time gate thing and want to know how long before I can actually use the gems I’ve already purchased? Pretty upset I feel like I wasted the extra cash at this point if I will already be max level before I can spend them for gold which was to help craft and level faster.

New player accounts do, indeed, have that feature disabled. You will unlock the feature with time, and hours played. It should be less than a week, or so.

Welcome to Tyria, and happy adventuring.

bummer. I’ve already logged almost 24 hours of play time. Onl;y answer I could ever find was it SHOULD be less than a week or play some and such. I’m level 40 already… Want my cash back now.

If you haven’t spent the gems, you can contact support to request a refund.

The limitation is to prevent stolen credit cards from dumping gems.
