Elementalist Owner.7802 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm just wondering if anyone else is at the point where skirmish claim tickets are irrelevant. Everything from the ticket vendor has a price tag attached to it (in the form of grandmaster marks, memories of battle, etc). WvW players earn the tickets so much faster than we earn gold in wvw, so the tickets will just continue to grow. To solve this I think the devs should increase the amount of memories of battle we get from playing wvw. Then we can spend the tickets without having the huge gold cost that come with memories of battle (20g for a stack right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltekka.2375 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I always seem to have way more memories of battle than skirmish tickets i can spend on stuff. I have 7.5k tickets now, with 25+ stacks of memories of battle. Wvw was never about gold, anyway. But rewards now are better than before the pip system. Also, memories of battle arent time gated. You can earn a lot the more you play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny.1796 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 No. Finally a way to craft legendary armor for WvWers. If not, you can buy asc. trinkets and shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowtier.1364 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I don't seem to have trouble earning to gold needed to buy anything when I have enough tickets for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 My friend has like 43 stacks of memories of battle (crazy, but I don't think they've used any yet), on the other hand of the scale I've spent a lot of mine, and still have an ample supply because I just redo the diamond chests. If you play enough they will come I promise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDchiaScrub.3241 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If you already had your ascended equipment before the skirmish merchant release then yes, most of that stuff is irrelevant stat-wise. So it makes sense if "main WvWers" have excess in w.e. flavor currency ANET uses. There probably isn't an excess in the marks however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 IMO is completelly useless.. always was.. :\ I still need to pray to the RNG lord to get ascended gear, the trinkets i have are mixed from bloostone from WvW reward rack and the mist.

Then we can spend the tickets without having the huge gold cost that come with memories of battle (20g for a stack right now) Or allow us to sell off the skirmish tickets; that way the players who are so low in ranks taking forever to acquire anything can make use of them. I can still make use of the tickets but I don't bother as I primarily play only 1 class. Already have my full set of legendary armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X T D.6458 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I stopped caring about skirmish tickets in all honesty. When taking into account the value of memories of battle, grandmaster marks, the timegating then heck its just easier to craft the ascended gear myself and sell off the memories of battle. The only things its really useful for (at least for me) is using them for upgrading to legendary, aside from that the other items you can get are not worth it.

LaGranse.8652 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I think the skirmish tickets are fine the way they are. I earn them at about the same rate I earn gold so in the end I break even when spending them for weapons or armor. And I solo roam, if you run in zerg you would probably earn gold faster than you can earn tickets to buy things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it's at a good spot though, because they come frequently enough but tp is an option. I used to sell mine until skirmish rewards came, too bad I didn't save them hehe.

Justine.6351 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I think it's well balanced atm. Yes you have to buy memories of battle to spend tickets on armor but that also keeps a value on them for players to be able to sell them for profit. WvWers always were complaining about not having a source of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shining One.1635 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It would be nice to have some additional sinks for Skirmish Claim Tickets that aren't paired with Memories of Battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oogabooga.3812 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Until I have 9 sets of wvw legendary armor and back pieces for my characters, they won't be irrelevant to me. That'll definitely take a long time, since one full set is 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll definitely take a long time, since one full set is 6 months. Yeah but my point is, you probably have more than enough tickets for another armor piece but a lack of gold is holding you back. If I'm wrong about that let me know, I'm just speaking from my experience. So if it's just dependent on gold, what's the point of having tickets in the game?

Victory.2879 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Should just make them tradeable, so that those who wvw like their life depends on it can sell them and casual players can buy them. Also, the amount per box needs adjusting so the number is the same per level, ie wooden and platinum should reward the same, not everyone has unlimited hours to play the game and the current system penalises those who have busy real lives.

Problem with that is then you could simply buy the WvW legendary backpiece without ever playing WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Should just give us everything for free because there's always something somewhere someone disagrees with a cost. Memories of battle might cost 20g a stack, but you can get them for free by playing wvw, that now includes the marks. So as I always say, you pay the gold or pay the time, pick one. At least they give us a choice there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Easiest way to get a set of stat selectable trinkets if you have thousands of tickets. The price is the time investment to get all those tickets since those are limited. Memories of Battle get pretty scarce too when crafting legendary armor or buying other things since you usually require a full stack per item. At least you can buy and soll those.

Krypto.2069 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 OP, for me, the skirmish tickets aren't irrelevant at all, and, so far, I've used/spent a crap-ton of Memories of Battle for the WvW goodies -- armor and weapons -- that are available. To date, I've never found myself needing to buy MoB's off the TP. What MoB's I earn during WvW play are more than enough. With the above said, I've got the complete Medium and Heavy WvW T3 Mistforged Triumphant Hero armor sets, Warbringer back piece, and 3 Mistforged Hero weapons with 7.4K tickets banked presently and still have 18+ stacks of MoB's. (I've also burned quite a few stacks for Gifts of War for my Gen2 legendaries.) I just play WvW, doing the reward and pip tracks, and I get more MoB's than I can use. So I think the quantity of MoB's we get for our WvW game play is plenty. And until I get all the stuff I want from the vendors, the tickets will have extreme value for me, which includes creating the T3 Legendary armor sets for all 3 weights.

Shagaliscious.6281 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Do you trash your memories of battle? I am always sitting on 1k memories of battle, every time I get a stack above that, to the TP they go, hello 20g. I have a full set of light legendary armor as well.
