Why does the price of turning Gems into Gold fluctuate when you’re not even giving the gems to a “real” person?
When I first read about the new Ascended gear I was indifferent, until they mentioned that you needed the Infusions from it in order to do the new dungeons. At that point, I was mad. Then I thought about it some more and no longer am.
1. Excluding Legendary, there are already 5 different Tiers of gear in the game.
2. At level 80, all 5 Tiers are available to be bought from other players on the Auction House.
3. Upon reaching 80, you can buy up what is essentially the best gear to do any and all content with, “Exotics”.
-Exotics are comparable to other MMOs’ " Top Tier/End Game Bind on Pickup" gear which you can only obtain either after a set amount of RL days has passed (Token/Badge system) or through a random drop from a raid boss
-The difference however, is that in GW2 you can just buy it on the Auction House
4. The new 6th Tier, Ascended, is not merely “just another Tier”. It seems to be an absolute requirement to do the new dungeons because of the Infusions.
5. You can just buy the new Ascended gear, along with Infusions off the Auction House
^Speculation, but considering the fact that the final form of a Legendary Weapon can be sold on there too, do you really think Ascended will be any different?
So I guess the question is…..at level 80, does the majority of players really only buy Basic Tier (Whites) on the Auction House to wear for most of the content they do?
