Chorne.8195 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 So, in the newest patch they made it so you can make town clothes tonics into outfits, which suddenly has made them a million times more appealing. However, this also poses a problem. There's a limited amount of tonics in the game. Only players from the beginning of GW2 got these outfits, and that, compared to how many players there are now, is a tiny supply of tonics for purchase. Many players want to keep their tonics. And now, with them becoming outfits, they've become consumable items, which also drastically decreases the amount of tonics for sale. And with the new outfit patch, there'll be a bigger demand for them. Prices are insane on the marketplace. The prices for the tonics, ( Disregarding the common clothing one, I haven't been around long enough to know why that one is so cheap, ) range from 150 g to 600 g. The most expensive tonic, ( 600 g Silk Brocade tonic, ) is $30 in gems, and there are only six for sale. There is no way for more tonics to enter the trading post because of the town clothes being removed. And now they just upped the demand. Soooo... What are they going to do? Leave it as is, leaving practically no one able to purchase these new outfits without dedicating hours or paying a ton of cash? Will they add them to the gem store? Make them achievement awards? I really want these outfits, but I'm not dedicating an entire Christmas break/all of my savings for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 There are about half a dozen threads that are asking about this/offering suggestions. I'm betting that ANet already has plans to introduce new sources. So if you can be patient, wait. I'm not spending more than 800 gems worth of gold on any. My guess as to the new sources: gem shop and/or next year's birthday present (choice of 1-2) and/or side-story collection (choice of 1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh VII.8690 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 The Basic Town Cloths should be a reward after story 10, 20 or 40 this will get new players introduced to outfits early on. The others I belive that Anet will put in them back in the gem store at like 400-600 gems each or maybe a bundle at 1600-2000 for all of them. They could do the good thing by letting us buy them with karma or gold from vendors around Tyria. I will not buy of the TP as they are not worth it.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 It's nice to hear the population has increased so much, instead of the usual, "The game is dying." :wink: I'm sure there will, eventually, be other ways to acquire 'town clothes' Outfits. Let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Flare.8539 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 The game has been dying for awhile, a slow bleed out. So many of my friends I haven't seen once since EA mount gate. Honestly after that type of disgusting predatory tactics they pulled they deserve to lose a lot of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot more than I'd spend on an outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm one of the lucky ones to have every outfit since launch. Stowed away on mules etc. Not selling any, will keep and use the lot ;) Maybe they'll bring them back for those less fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I agree I wouldn't be surprised to see these show up as in game loot. If the old ones showed up on the gemstore I would lean towards it wouldn't be well received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the Common Clothing for a few silver and the relatively inexpensive Riding Clothes for around 30G. I'm just not willing to pay hundreds of gold for the others. Many of them are almost exact replicas of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will throw them back into the gem store which is where you originally got most of them back before they were tonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchoku.8142 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I would guess they might be offered on the gem store, if not through a laurel or other special currency vendor like season 1 rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
