Well you did say you’d take 5-10 gold or anything you can use. Maybe a but less than 5 gold but also things that can be used as well like teleports to friends that might be useful in the new maps, and a celebration booster that could be used leveling the new masteries.. But now I see it appears you really meant more than that as you are back to talking about equal value. Well good luck either way I guess.

I guess it would be more accurate to say I’d like to have something but I’d prefer a bit more than that. I’m not even mad about it or anything; it’d just be nice to have an option to get some gems or something instead for the same price, like as a expansion buying option.

I’m not even asking that they give us the full value of it. Hell, I’d take 5-10 gold or something. Anything I can actually use.

You can use it on a L80 and you will at least get something. Along with the L80 gear that comes with the boost you will also get the boost package which contains 2 gold, and some other stuff that may or may not be useful to you.

I know it comes with a little more than just the level, but that’s hardly an equal value proposition considering how much it costs on its own. I guess I’m looking for a little bit more than that for something that costs as much as a precursor.

I already have all of the dyes I want, I’ve got more food than I could ever use after maxing the cooking craft, etc.

The new expansion comes with a free level 80 boost in every edition. This makes sense for new players who want to get into the action right away, and was useful for older players last time because of the new class. However, this expansion does not add a new class (which I’m ok with, not complaining about it).

However, I already have a level 80 character of every class (and a few mid-level alternates). I really don’t have a use for the boost without a new class to use it on. Therefore, I was wondering if it would be possible to exchange the boost for an equivalent amount of gems. The boost available on the gem store right now costs 2000 gems, which is $25 worth of gems. That’s no small amount. Honestly I’d be happy with less than that, considering that would make the standard version of the expansion worth $5. At least I’d be able to use the gems for something I wanted instead.

I’ll try what I can find, I suppose. I don’t have the money for a commander tag though. I still feel like the events could be a bit more forgiving though.

I’ve been trying to do the Gerent map event in the Tangled Depths to get the last mistward helm piece, but after 5 failures due to not enough people at several different times of day, I get the feeling that the event (and probably the other HoT map events) should be scaled down to reflect the reduced player counts in those areas. I can’t even lure the Gerent out, let alone kill it, with 2-3 people per lane at best.

Most of the people in those areas, including myself some of the time, are just there to get the skill points for their specialization. People aren’t really doing the big events. I know Anet wants to avoid trivializing the events, but the events should at least be possible.
