Brother.1504 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Put character slots on sale more often, something like every new living story update. I personally would drop 8k gems on new character slots right now. There are several players in my guild waiting for the same thing. I don’t see how selling loads of new character slots more frequently is anything but win win for Anet and the player base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramus.8143 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I read that you can have 68 or 69 character slots. What do you do with that many slots ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That many seems kinda extreme. I do know players with alts at the end of every jumping puzzle. To each their own. My guild leader has 22 alts, she likes fashion wars. I have 10 slots right now. 1 of each class and one left open for weekly key run. Let’s face it gw2 is a game where players have loads of alts. Again I don’t see the downside if Anet puts character slots on sale more frequently. And if someone decides they want 100 alts who cares what they do with them. Play as you like.

I'm a certified altaholic, to the point where, in swtor and DDO I had two accounts full of alts. I did the same thing in Aion, as well. ETA: Oh yeah, and yes please.

What do you do with that many slots ?. 71 slots to be exact. 2 of them are from purchasing the two expansions. It's so much fun to have so many slots, create different characters with different builds, weapons, armors, appearance and now the elite specs. A few examples; I've got Ascalonian, Canthan and Elonian Human characters. Dreamers (_good guys_) and Nightmare courtiers (_bad guys_) Sylvari characters. .... Etc.. I just did a make-over for my one of my Charr characters, Necromancer to look more alike Boticca. ![](https://i.imgur.com/xvMwEGY.jpg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I assume there will be a day of character slot sales during the March rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I make key farmers, get attached to them, and hate to delete them. If character slots weren't so expensive, I'd have 10 alts by now. Yeah, I'm a pack rat in real life, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpyderBite.6274 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 From what I've heard in the past, character slots are one of the best selling if not THE best selling items on the gem shop. So, from a revenue point of view, what would be the point of putting them on sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They apparently haven't featured in any of the previous march sales. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/30516/gw2-march-sales-predictions-aka-those-who-do-remember-history-sometimes-still-have-to-repeat-it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, from a revenue point of view, what would be the point of putting them on sale? I know many people waiting for a character slot sale before buying in bulk. But more frequently doesn’t mean permanently lowering the price. My suggestion to have character slot sales with every Living Story release seems reasonable.

Ronan.9518 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 And there we have it :) Character Slots are on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother.1504 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Seen the sale. Bought 10 slots. TYVM Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokh.2695 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You and your friends didn't buy any of the slots until now because "Oh WOW!!!! They're on SALE!!!! now!!!". If we had a sale for them every two months, you probably wouldn't have bought as many as you have now. It's marketing or the magic behind the game, as we like to call it because it has a nicer ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 FYI if you bought at full price in February using gold:gems, a new slot would have cost about 210g. Today, with the spike in conversion rates, the discount price means you'd pay around 190g. In fact, it's only more expensive to buy today if you bought your gems at less than 95g per 400 gems, which hasn't happened much in the last year or so (and never for very long). tl;dr today's still a great time to buy toon slots, even if you have to convert gold to gems at the higher rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I just realised I can't remember if I used gold or cash. I had 655 gems left on my account from a while ago, but even with the gem store history I can't remember how I got them. Maybe I should keep track of gold bought gems so I know what I'm spending on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's marketing or the magic behind the game, as we like to call it because it has a nicer ring to it. People buy slots at full price. My point is people buy more slots at sale price. Advertised the sale in wvw and on a Tequatl map and many people thanked me because they wanted to buy slots on sale. Win for players and win for Anet.
