I just bought GW1 last month and got all the expansions and unlock skill packs. I maxed out most of my characters in GW2 and decided to take the time to earn some points in my HoM and got myself up to 23 points.
While the rest of the people complaining saying that they care less and don’t need the skins and achievement points as well as the titles, well that’s easy to say coming from the person that is not a veteran player from the GW1 phase.
I spent a lot of money on gw1 and also spent a lot of money on gw2 and I made the effort to earn my HoM points and to have a measly non-veteran player who doesn’t understand anything about the history of GW1, nonetheless even played GW1 since beginning has no idea what “effort” means.
If you worked hard for something, you should be rewarded from all that effort that was made and not just given to some measly player who haven’t made any effort at all rather than play a game to look beautiful while being given rewards for free without earning it.
For a lot of veteran players, this means a lot to them, it’s not just about the skins, titles, and maybe it is about the achievements points because you unlock rewards that are unique that most players can’t get anywhere unless through the achievement points.
As for the skins, maybe it does matter as well as titles because players who haven’t earned it will wonder where those veteran players got those cool looking skins while leveling a character or that title. Then you can tell that player, “it was earned through my extensive efforts of saving Tyria, Elona, Eye of the North, and Cantha with my heroes in Guild Wars 1 which have been engraved in history in the Hall of Monuments”
It shouldn’t be like, “Oh yea i automatically got this glitch that gave me 50 points in the HoM and 500 achievement points with titles for doing absolutely nothing and didn’t spend a dime in gw1 and made any effort”
Really? If that was the case then all veteran players should be refunded all that money they spent and all that hard work they did through GW1 while everyone can just have 50 HoM points and 500 achievement points for free, right?
In that case, what’s the point in even playing this game if you’re just gonna cheat your way through and be given all the top ascended gear and exotic and legendary items for free? You’ll just end up sitting around in your home instance looking like a statue showing off while no one cares and is trying to get the stuff you have. Sooner or later, you’ll get tired of standing around then move on to another game cause you got everything that no one has.
