Guild Wars 2

Since I can’t use the online Gem purchase process with my iMac, I was wondering if the Gem cards you can buy from Amazon or Best Buy or where ever usable with an iMac or not?

According to the information provided here by Anet staff the gem cards should be a work around for the current bug that does not allow Mac customers to buy gems with real money.

Here is what the suggested from Ashley from Anet:

Hey guys – I’m sure some of you have already heard through the ticketing system but just confirming that this is a known issue and is being actively investigated. At this time the only “workaround” would be to make purchases with a Windows machine if you have access to one (also includes running in Bootcamp). Additionally, you could also purchase Gem Cards from retailers such as Best Buy and Game Stop in the meantime.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you all but I appreciate your patience as we look into this issue.

Thanks. Going to give the game card a try.

Really hoping this gets fixed soon… some of us don’t believe in keeping Windoze in our houses

The Gem issue is fixed, I bought some just the other night.

Try this:

Delete the contents of the gw2 data folder, it’s a pain to get to the right one: this step is a general fix for many tp and graphics issues, even without the previous steps however, it will lose all saved login/password and in-game settings.

Mine is located under the hidden Library folder (navigate using finder, do not use spotlight to search)

/[yourharddrivename]/users/[yourusername]/library/application support/guild wars 2

You may want to copy/paste this folder to your desktop as a temporary back up, just in case.

Delete the contents of that specific folder (you should see files like this contained within “config, dyndata.dat, user.reg, userdef.reg, and folders p_drive and wineserver…namestuff…loca..[long name]” just to list a few), then re-run the client..

~~Your folder is probably hidden (as is the default). Hidden folders display as greyed out text and icons. I found this after googling:

You can also try holding alt while clicking "GO " in the finder menu bar unhide the correct Library folder, continue holding alt and click on Library (if you release the alt/option key, “library” will disappear. At least the link has visuals for you. Hope it helps.
