No. Do person who say "why so expensive?" will hapyy ? I think no too. > If someone now mc - and don't want play - easest way - buy gems, convert to gold, buy mc from TP. > So if we make mc account bound - make mc available from gems store, 10 gems - one mysitc coin. Like it? me not, but any "why not cheap" is step to that. > Do you mean that people's existing stock would become account bound or that any earned started in '21 would be account bound?

Depending on price and content I would be willing to pay for a PvP expansion.

Obviously there are people that are going to do that anyway, but I feel like your post is implying that farming for these 6 mystic coins that will take hours and hours to get (depending on a lot of factors obviously) is good gold. It definitely is not. If the goal is gold then don't worry about the cost, value, difficulty in acquiring, etc of Mystic Coins.

GW1 for example was doing perfectly fine without any RNG in its cashshop. It is about "moar money". The allure of significantly more income is irresistible to any business. > Or, you could say that for any business no revenue is "sufficient" if you could earn more. > The owner of the product gets to decide what is, "sufficient revenue." Anet have stated that the method mentioned did not meet that internal metric.

The darker haired look is better IMO. Nothing against light colored, or white, hair but in this case it looks less real.

People choosing to sell luxury items at a price of their own choosing is not at all inappropriate. Don't like the price? Don't pay it. Asking that a third party step in and force other people to sell their goods to you at a price of your choosing is disgusting.

And when they did them - they did them right. They were religious figures - healers. NOT kung-fu experts that gamers for some weird reason have linked to 'monk'... Guild Wars 1 got this concept right where so many games get it so wrong because they copy-paste from table-top devs who had no clue of the world 10 miles from where they lived... > It doesn't matter where the inspiration came from. What matters is that they did their own thing with it. Middle Earth was inspired by Northern Europe, but was not set in Europe and did its own things, many of which never occurred in Europe. The GW1 monk was the only profession capable of Tai Chi, which may not be the most practical combat martial art, but it is a martial art.

There is at least one Jet Li though, halfway decent stealth thief in SPvP. A little on the predictable side though.
