I have been trying this out for the last few days and this farm actually can help the casual player most of all. I don’t have a lot of time to play during the week( kids, work etc.) but I manage to get into a squad once a day before work.
On average it nets me 35 to 50 gold for about 30 minutes of work. Which over a week will add up to a big chunk of money enabling me to buy things much quicker than I would have anticipated. Some of the people on the maps are students off for the summer that don’t have much else to do but play all day and they have said the were making 200 gold a day!
I find this staggering only to the effect that nothing else in the game can be farmed for gold even at a fraction of that rate. I hope they keep it for us time crunched players or maybe just tweak a bit. Or maybe even make some other activities more profitable so people won’t feel so upset if it does get nerfed in some way.
Hey guys,
If I missed season I of pvp leagues can I still progress to get Ascension after the seasons are over? Thanks for you help!
I am a ten year Guild Wars players as well. The lore and history behind the franchise is second to none. I feel they really do listen to the player base over the long term and try with in reason to adjust and improve things based on consumer input.
I also think for the cost there is no form of entertainment that can match guild wars if you divide all the hours per year some people put into the game and how much money you need to spend on the game even if you buy gems on a regular basis.
Lastly, the art team and graphics in game are fabulous as well and I have never seen a game with art style that I like as much as guild wars.
This whole incident saddens me. A year ago I had all my chracters deleted ( 8 level 80s 3 map completion 3 legendaries, 4 ascended weapons, 2 full sets of ascended armor and all level 500 crafting disc. First reaction I thought someone hacked my account and went back and forth with CS for over six months. They assured me no one hacked my account and did not return anything.
All progress being lost forever I left guild wars after being an avid player for over eight years. One year later I finally found out what happened. I work on the road all day and usually take my lunch at the public library near a big university. I would usually play gws there at lunch as alot of other people would game there as well. I would sometimes leave game on the character select page if I had to go to the bathroom or take a call as i was in the corner of the library. A person I vaguely knew ended up deleting all my characters when i was in the bathroom because he thought it would be funny. I didnt find this out until the one year mark as well when he told me.
I immdeiately contacted CS again after a whole year and told them. I begged them that thousands of hours went down the drain and to at least return my deleted account bound ascended and legendary stuff if they could not give me back my map completions and 500 crafting. They sent back refusing everything.
I was heartbroken. Gaile was very supportive of me and offered her condolences which was really nice of her. I left the game again along with some of my close friends that played because they were disgusted ny the whole incident.
Over some time I came to terms with the matter and realized some fault being my own as I am too trusting a person. I then bought HoT and now have only one level 80 with exotic gear. I am having fun again and think HoT is actually quite good but I will never be the same. I still buy gems now as I did before so I can try to obtain the things I need to play again.
But after seeing this new situation, that people are grossly cheating and probably going to be able to possibly keep some things that they obtained by cheating and I can’t even get my account bound thing back that I worked hard for thousands of hours makes the old wound re open.
I will continue to support Arena Net financially and emotionally as I have for many years as deep down I think they are a great company, but this new information really has me feeling down.

Happy Holidays to Arena Net!
Thankyou for making a great game for us and giving us entertainment for pennies on the hour on a yearly basis. Thanks to Gaile for being so friendly and supportive to the GWS community including myself. I took a year off and Guild Wars is the only game I’ve played that you can get right back into.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season with family and friends and I’m looking foward to 2016!.
Seems to me like ANet have implemented some code whereby the people who want the skins can’t get them and the people who don’t want them get them almost straight away … that’s some hardcore programming skills right there.
Hint: Make the kitten things tradeable at least!
I would love this as i got a ticket the first day and the weapons dont really match any of my characters. Any chance they will make them tradable?
