Guild Wars 2

This is really starting to annoy me.
When I started playing the price for 400 gems was only 50g and as a starter I thought that was a lot. Now its around 280g for 800 gems?

Sure it’s not a huge issue if you’ve been playing for a long time and have a lot of resources to generate gold, but newer players are going to be forced to either grind day in and out for gold or pay actual money.

There has been a huge inflation from gold to gems, the latter costing more and more to buy with every glider or skin they throw out. I’ll happily use real money to buy what I want, because I like this game and I’ll happily support it because of its b2p system. But I want to be able to not feel like I have to do it, or grind up gold I’d prefer to use on items.
Sure, with the new expansion and changes with the game it can be a lot easier to get gold, but point being you have to GRIND it to get any impressive amount.

I thought a selling point of guild wars 2 was the “no grind” system. Now I’m just kind of put off from buying gems alltogether because of the ridiculous gold prices.
