I’d love to see Anet implement a new way for us to spend our trib tokens, but as IWN said it’s extremely unlikely this would be implemented before the end of this year’s festival. Maybe they’ll set something up for us next year.

I don’t agree with the idea of using trib tokens as a means to purchase Kaiser or Crimson skins, though. I think those skins have enough “prestige” associated with them as it is, and that prestige would be pretty significantly lessened by the ability to simply farm them via trib tokens. I might be going out on a limb here, but I think most of the players who desire an alternate use for these tokens are able to effectively speedrun tribulation zones fast enough that they’d be able to farm the remaining Kaiser/Crimson skins within one festival season. These skins should take much longer to acquire, in my opinion.

That said, I’d still love for an alternate use for them. I think even a small amount of baubles or furniture coins would be fair. I’d be perfectly happy to be able to trade the tokens in a 1:1 exchange rate for furniture coins—this would value each trib token at 25 baubles each. That may not seem like much, but when you’re farming tribulation zones for baubles, an extra 25 baubles per zone will add up really quickly. Since world 2 is more challenging (or more time consuming, at the very least), perhaps world 2 tokens could be exchanged at a 1:2 rate for coins, valuing world 2 tokens at 50 baubles each. Just an idea.

I completely disagree the prestigious weapons are the King Toad and the Storm Wizard weapons you have to complete a full run of tribulation mode to get them after all per weapon. The Kaiser and Crimson are awarded just for logging in and doing three dailies that can be completed in infantile mode. Nothing prestigious about that at all it would be like adding a weapon set unlocked by completing 8 days worth of regular daily metas.

The reason why storm and toad are looked down upon is due to all the sold trib runs last year as people literally just bought them like the blue set. None of the weapons really carry any weight and it would require a world 3 and 4 which prevented paid trib runs from the very start to get a set people would admire. So I see no reason why trib coins couldn’t be used to help acquire the red/orange/blue skins.

Actually the only daily you can do in infantile mode i believe is the interior design and maybe adventuring, the digging ones etc dont count.

There are guild missions which can be solo’d and duo’d. A 5 target trek can be solo’d if you get lucky and/or just 1 not too overly unlucky target. A single target bounty i’ve duo’d before i prefer to duo them with repping members but i’ve duo’d them with me being the only repping member and had my non repping friend there and ppl will join in…make sure you always take it by a waypoint or if you do it on a weekend plenty of ppl will be there to help you from other guilds coz they need it too. Races too can be joined it with other guilds…as long as 1 member from the guild makes it over the finish line and the race in general (15/15 crosses the finish line) the guild gets credit. Talk to the guy at the end to end the mission early. Set your mission type to pve first week and do these missions when they come up (for trek use dulfy’s guide) and with so few people donating sure favor will be skint in the beginning but you’ll soon be capped on favor you’ll be scrambling to farm for donations for your gh. New missions unlock every 10 levels and believe it or not after getting to know the trek locations even a 15 target trek can be duo’d if you’re good enough. I know a lot of the missions are biased towards bigger guilds but honestly the few that aren’t are more than enough and plenty often occurring. For the races make sure you do them on the weekends when everyone else is doing their guild missions.

yeah until they do sab. Very few people are going to pick a crowded spot just to afk unless its for a reason. I get that you’re salty coz sab came back and mini noises and yay they just added more (a whole new mini pack that when combined in the forge adds a forth mini—-i hope you like it) and stuff but if you actually go in the sab lobby theres are tons of people in there too and multiple shards as well coz i actually got separated from a party mate coz we got put in separate shards exiting a sab instance and afking in the sab lobby is zero point unless you WANTED to make it look really popular just to make you angry which..i mean i could see its appeal.

But like the person upthread said basket brawl gets much less participation and just got an update.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

I know people are passionate about SAB, but I think fans have overestimated the number of folks that will spend time in it, new world or not. For example, those who hate JPs seem to be just as numerous in the forums (and just as passionate).

I’m not against new worlds and I certainly think ANet should maintain the current SAB indefinitely. However, I can’t agree that adding W3 and beyond would be a good use of ANet’s limited resources.

If you’d been to rata sum and seen the people crowding around the npc around the clock you’d know that despite the mass amounts of people who hate jumping puzzles sab is really popular. I despise jumping puzzles but I do sab every day and even tho it makes me want to rage i feel it teaches me perserverance, patience, and makes me a better jumper….and in some cases it does (although with gliders added in the game but not in sab sab can only improve my jumping where gliders are enabled by so much, i wish there was a disable glider button or that we could change the keybind). And there are also tons of people who do sab regardless of whether they hate jp or not because of the great loot. I mean the skins are awesome.

You’re forgetting kaiser weapons which are orange…which world are they from sherlock?
