Quite a few people say because I want mastery points in the gem store that takes away from game play. Well to some that may be true, but to me it doesn't. I played Guildwars since 2005 in which I ended up o my sin 35 maxed titles (that's 5 titles over god walking amongst mere mortals title), Got GWAMM on my Rit, and Mesmer too. In the Hall of Monuments I have four fully maxed out halls for four different characters. So in that game I did the extra stuff and enjoyed doing it while playing. GW2 on the other hand does not have that system it has achievements which I am not interested in maxing out like titles in GW. If I get them I get them. The mastery points in the story are the same I do not want to go out of my way to get them while trying to get through the story to complete it. We should not have to play the way we don't want too to max our masteries, and not be able compete all the mastery lines in the game. So putting the points in the gem store is not pay to win, but a quality of life thing. You still have to get the exp. to use them. It will not break the game at all.

Two different weapon sets with 16 weapons each have to be acquired to get one mastery point each. I don't need 32 weapons I'm never gonna use anyway to get those points. Again I am not saying you can purchase them and use them without playing for the xp you need to use them you do. I am saying you should not have to complete some of the stupid requirement to get mastery points. If you want to that's fine if not you should have the option to buy them for gems if you want they could also be available in BL chests or in game as a drop here n there. Buying the points will not break the game or be pay to win just be an option to people. > > I won't ever complete these Achievements and get the associated Mastery (The collections of weapons). I tend to think of these not as a Mastery point that I _need_ to get, but rather a way for a different type of player to get a Mastery point. What type of player? The one who does engage with the crafting system in the game and does want to complete a full set of weapons. Those crafter/collector types have a way of being rewarded for doing something they like to do. > > Similar to the Run 50 Strikes MP/Achievement. Those players running strikes have a reward for playing through them a huge number of times. It isn't for everyone, and that is okay. > > I don't think it would be fair to diminish the effort of other players by making the same MP/Achievement they worked hard on available for purchase. > > However, there could be an alternative. An MP pack that you could buy that isn't tied to the achievements or MP in game. Something as simple as 100 gems for a generic MP that can be used in any Mastery. It doesn't complete an achievement, doesn't take anything away from the game or content, it simply speeds up the process for those wanting to get a Mastery line unlocked. > > > exactly!!!

That was the game. But now, people want to pay to “finish” a game? Why? Is this what Angry Birds and Candy Crush (I never played those, so don’t really know) has done to the game market? Something is too hard, oh nothing a few dollars can’t fix? It’s even worse when it’s a multiplayer game. Imagine if you could just buy a Skyscale for 5000 gems. No, just no. GW2 is not Gold Wars 2. Problem with that is this game is constantly changing.

Another option would be to use the experience scrolls or tomes of knowledge to buy them.

Lol but you have to pay 2000 gems to change the look of your mount.

I took a look at a couple requirements for one mastery point each of course seen more but these stuck out. Two different weapon sets with 16 weapons each have to be acquired to get one mastery point each. I don't need 32 weapons I'm never gonna use anyway to get those points. Again I am not saying you can purchase them and use them without playing for the xp you need to use them you do. I am saying you should not have to complete some of the stupid requirement to get mastery points.

If you can't get the harder ones, do the ones that are easier to acquire or wait for new easy ones to come out. Max Mastery isn't that important anyways. Skip unlocking the final masteries in lines that don't give you any real benefit, like Raven Bright, Exalted Gathering, and Sire Be nice if they did that but they won't so why not sell them in the gem store also not asking for the exp still have to do that

Masteries are a game mechanic what is the point of the game if everything can be bought with money. It is also in the name Mastery as in mastering the game, like become better at the game. > > > > > > > I am not talking about purchasing the points and them giving u free exp just the points themselves > I am also talking about the mastery points, they are given for completing an achievement they are basically reward for finishing a quest. > https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/categories/guild-wars-2-discussion but some people like myself do not want to do all those things to get them. It does not mean they should remove them for those who do though

Why not Pig Latin or even Klingon

Gaile is probably with the creators of the GW franchise making a new game. Gaile did not have anything to do in GW creation she was a player then became a liaison for Anet.
