Q:
Gems to Gold
A:
Seems as though A-net has a Nice scam going here. If new players can’t use the gems before 72 hours then they shouldn’t be sold to new players.
For new accounts, it is normal. After some time of play, that option will become available.
Welcome to Tyria, and good luck!
Well My friend said he could trade gems for gold same time he got them which was about 2 hours after he made his account. This is sort useless for me.
But Thank You.
Depends on when he did. If he did a LONG time ago, it’s possible. Recently, no, this is the policy (check previous forum posts, you’ll see others who have made this post, with Anet comments who have replied). Just have to play and soon the account will have this feature unlocked.

It’s not a scam, you can use the gems to buy in game items, but not gold to buy items. Here is why.
You buy gems, get gold, buy items from TP. Cancel account. Get gems refunded. Gold is still infused into the market.

No the point here is I have to wait to use the Gems how I want. They shouldn’t sell them until 72 hours time is up. That is fraud and a scam. These rules are hurting the honest players not A-net But I guess fan boys will be around to support the scam here. As for getting my money back that is a option I am still considering. Now unless you have some thing that can truly show how this is wrong then Keep it to your self. And really you seem to be Ignorant of the true facts here. I bought the game to play not get shafted here.

And you can play. It’s not fraud. You bought gems, you can use the gems. You CAN"T turn them into gold. You can still play the game. Everything you have said is technically incorrect. No matter how you feel about it. The reason they sell gems, is because… people like to guy the items in the gem store, WHICH you still can. That is the main purpose of the gems. You aren’t locked out of the store. Just from turning gems into gold. If you want your money back, don’t do a charge back. You will need to create a ticket and speak to support.
You want to get gold with your gems (which, it’s actually a really bad idea, the conversion rate is terrible). You aren’t because your account is too new. You can still access the store (the main purpose that gems are for) and you can still play the game. Nothing is stopping either of these.
I already explained why they don’t want to let you use the gems for gold. And it’s not a permanent lock. I will however ensure that others aren’t told incorrect information.
