It works but not the whole $25 because there’s fees associated with a prepaid card, which will surpass your $25 limit. For example, if your from Canada, the money in it would be in CAD, theres currency exchange rate + fees.
I agree, ele is terrible right now. It took me 6-8deaths to complete a personal story that I was downscaled to because I died in 2 sec flat so I have to kill one mob at a time, die, rinse and repeat.
Betting in sPvP would be cool.
They should add spectator mode if they are gonna do that.
Who would like to see a lottery system ingame ran by arenanet? It will act as a great gold sink as high participation is almost guaranteed. In addition, it can give that excitement feeling, which will increase the game longevity and make a couple lucky players’ day.
The idea would be that the jackpot will increase with tickets purchased. For example, If 1 ticket cost 1silver, then the jackpot will increase by 80copper(20% will act as gold sink) for every ticket purchased/entered.
There can be a couple different type of lotto. For instance, for people who likes to go big and against the odds, they can enter the server/global server lotto, while others who is content with a smaller reward in exhange for better odds can enter limited slot lotto, eg: 100slot,1000slot,etc.
What do you guys think of the idea?
My account got hacked about a week ago and i just got it back. My character was almost butt naked. Luckily there was a couple silver left and when I try to access to the TP, none of the items show any stats or description and the sell tab doesn’t seem to work for me. It just shows a blank.
I asked others if it works for them and they all said that its working perfectly fine for them.
Anyone else have this problem / any solution?
I just got hacked today, how long do I have to wait? o.O
Do I get all my stuff back?
My account got hacked, idk how.
When I try to login a couple mins ago, I was able to and enter the world but just right before I enter the world, I got disconnected and was never able to login after and only getting error 3002. I check my email and I got a email saying my email for gw has changed. My account and email pass is different, I dont use fan forums, I have updated antivirus and spyware. How they got my account is a mystery.
When I try to login on my computer to the forum, it doesn’t work beacuse the email is incorrect. My phone was already logged on the forum so I was able to post this message. Idk why the email is the same on the top right side on the forum.
My only character is called Eternal Blizzard (the weather, not the company, bad name choice -_- ingame)
I have already submitted a ticket, can you please lock my account to reduce damage?
Also, will my account be fully restored?(will I have to start from scratch or no items/gold?)
Buy gems now and roll around in the love when the price sky rockets the first time they put content expansions on the store.
Expansions will not be on the gem store. I promise you, if my life depends on it, I would bet on it not being in the gem store without hesitation.You have no idea how bad of a business decision It would be to put expansions on the gem store. Areanet is a company who’s sole purpose is to generate money. If they pull something like that and I was a shareholder, they will feel my full wrath! :P
IF you just played the game for a few months you would have more than enough gold to exchange for gems to get all the stuff you cited for free…. L2P
Idk what you doing to make gold but it certainly didnt take me months to get myself $50 worth of gems(reading comphrension). I can log on right now and get myself 4000 more gems with gold and I would still have loads of gold.
I’m saying for the people who’s buying gem, they are not getting their moneys worth and areanet is seriously overpricing both the cost of gems and the price of items.
Who are YOU to say we’re not getting our money’s worth, just because YOU don’t like the pricing?
I’ve bought gems. I got what I wanted/needed, and I feel I got my money’s worth. I also feel good knowing that the funding will go toward future content/expansions.
How can you possibly say that 2 bag slot on ONE character or 1 character slot expansion is worth $10 when it is something that is so basic that it is offered free in most quality MMO? Unless you are too rich,irresponsible, or even spoiled.
Oh and this is coming from a person who is trading gold to gems and never bought any gem and is willing to trade at a higher convertion rate beacuse gem is simply too expensive to be getting so little of.

Expensive?? Are you sure??
59.99$ (in my case is 79.99$) is may look expensive if we count in one shot…..but if we just count that is air-time cost for half year……it’s 10$ per month….that still look expensive to you??
Unless you plan to stop play this game before reach half year. :P
Some F2P game….they cost our money more than 10$ per month.
Yes $10/month over a course of 8 months excluding the cost of gems is indeed expensive. Esp since this game lacks endgame content that revolves around gear, something worthwhile to work towards, the majority of players will not play any further once they reach lvl 80, so about 2months time.
And Skyrim costs $60 and isn’t even an MMO tied to servers and people pay that without even a hope of “end game raiding” because it’s the sort of game that appeals to them.
If you don’t like the kind of game, don’t spend money on it. Not all games that can be classed as “MMOs” have to offer the same kind of content, do the same things, and appeal to the same kind of people.
I feel that “gear progression” is worth much less than what GW2 offers. Gear progression is the illusion of content – it’s about as deep as Farmville.
Your comparing apples to orange. Skyrim is an RPG game, whereas gw2 is a MMORPG. They are different, I do not expect to play online on a single player fps do I?
Gear progression worth less? Do you have any idea why they are so sucessful and ironed hard into people’s mind as the correct progression path? Everyone can agree that gear A is better than gear B base on stats and is worth working towards but you cant say gear A is better than gear B beacuse it looks better even in the comestic sense simply beacuse everyone has a different artistic view, so that gear you worked so hard for may be seen as ugly in someone else’s opinion.

You can buy gems through in-game gold, and you aren’t forced or required to buy gems anyway. You decided to buy gems with real money on your own, that doesn’t make the game expensive per sé.
I didn’t buy gems.
Lol, who farms anymore when the TP price is this low?
The people in map chat calls people who farm for mats ‘peons’.

Did any of you stop to think that maybe they just would rather have a player USING what they have instead of selling it to a vendor…nope…just greed. Not everyone cares about making a profit in a game with few money sinks. Heck, maybe I will start doing it just tokitten off the greedy people.
Few gold sinks? What game you playing? Trust me, 99% of those dudes don’t know what they doing and not the angelic person you think they are.
Most people don’t even know how much the item vendors for so when they see like 1s on TP, they like ‘not bad’ when the item vendors for 99c or they didnt notice the 5% listing fee and 10% selling fee or both.
(edited by Sky.7610)
This is why i vendor all and any gear.
What I don’t understand is why doesn’t put the 10% fee in the TP Window aswell and only display the 5% listing fee? It’s hidden Inside the wiki as if anyone is gonna read that.
Furthermore, as of right now, I can buy a inventory slot for 1 gold. PLEASE don’t tell us that’s difficult for you to get.
You need 1g + some silvers. That’s a lot for the current economy ESP with gold sinks like teleport,repair,trait books,siege weps,etc
That’s not to say it’s a lot to me, but it’s certainly a lot to most people.
Also, never once did I say I BOUGHT ANY gem, I merely state I spent $50 worth of gem. Those gem have to come from somewhere and I felt bad for the buyers beacuse it’s too cheap.
They have to make money somehow. You’re also buying things that you don’t “need.”
I completely understand they need to money but would pricing gem at $10 for 100gems make them more money? Probably not but if they lower the price, more people will buy.
Also “things you don’t need”. C’mon bro, all these things are basic to MMO and completely unrestricted in other MMO. That’s like saying the only thing you need is water, food, and shelter and it’s okay to take away other things beacuse you don’t “need” them.
It’s nothing like that. I think you’re missing the point here. NOBODY is forcing you to pay for anything. You can even buy gems with in-game currency, so what are you complaining about? That you can’t control your spending habits?
You also seems to miss my point. If I placed you in an f2p MMO, you will be restricted and will not fully enjoy what the game has to offer unless you pay but nobody is forcing you to pay. That’s a pretty lame argument.
" you don’t have to buy a computer, cellphone, console, cloths etc beacuse you don’t need them and nobody is forcing you buy them"

Why is this game so expensive?
I spent $50 worth of gems and I don’t even have enough to unlock all bag and bank slot… Let alone the character expansions, etc that is all unlocked and unrestricted in a sub MMO.
Like are you serious? The pricing of gem looks more like a highway robbery…
