Guild Wars 2

Yeah Convenience does justify it all.

Every single item on the gem store is for convenience. They are all items we can easily do without. Your example of fast travel is, imo, invalid. Had Anet not Advertised that fast travel will be a feature and then attached a gem price to it, so you can make use of the convenience, I personally wouldn’t have an issue.

Also I don’t remember anything about the game being cosmetic progression orientated. Got a source for that? I know that they said it won’t be be gear orientated, but that, to me, doesn’t mean it’ll me cosmetically orientated, it just means that at top tier gear doesn’t mean squat, it all comes down to how well you lay out your build and you skill in playing it.

On the note of feeling that we need to fork out gems to have fun; huh? How does that even make sense? I don’t see anything in the gem store is a necessity for fun?

Again this is all for convenience. And what monetization are you referring to? I have not spent a cent of RL money on the gem store, all my gems I got from trading gold. That said, this has nothing to do with templates, the trait reset stones don’t let you save a certain trait setup, they just let you reset your traits on the fly. If you don’t like the item then don’t buy it, Anet isn’t cramming it down your throat.

Lol, just Lol.

I seriously don’t see how people can be kicking up such a * storm over this item. It’s there for convenience sake, nothing more. The ~8s (incl WP costs) you pay to retrait is bloody minimal, sure it’s a slight hindrance and that’s why the retrait item was introduced. I for one couldn’t be kitten d to buy it.

One the note of “Pay to Win,” pls show me one item currently in the gem store that falls into this category.
