They actually made it more convenient on inventory space required by giving you the option to mass salvage stacks of unidentified equipment.

Spinex.3695 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Why do we have gold if we do not spend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereon.5219 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Welcome to MMO's, also all those things to spend gold on are just luxury's honestly. They aren't anything you 'need'. Gold exists for a reason which is to splurge and work to make yourself unique or gain something you consider special, nothing that costs a lot is needed though.

I can tell you never played gw1... Life is gold in guild wars series. Personally, I love farming gold in this game and even more so in gw1 (i did it alot). Gives me a reason to return to play set myself a goal or 2 be it needing gold or grinding achievements. 250g pfft, isn't as much as you make it out to be. I'm 72/90 done with "The emperor" title no credit card used started on it about 2 months ago and only playing game about 2hrs a day. Mainly just doing my dailies and logging out. That is about 140g give or take per race. You worried about 250g....... Learn on how to make money craft a mystic staff or any the mystic weapons worth more than 55g each sell couple them (take bout 1-2 days to sell drop price by bout 3 gold nobody else willing drop under exploit other peoples greed) you have 250g pretty quickly even buying the coins you can profit..... I find making gold in this game pretty easy, but I'm used to guild wars 1 lol. To be honest sounds to me you maybe type of gw2 player that says "I want it now, because I can't wait or because i don't want to work for something." 2 months from now nobody gonna care what mount you are riding or not riding. Don't fall into the fashion wars trap or it's new i need it now trap and you'll enjoy the game much more. I mean what's the rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosifah.4738 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 At this point if you have been playing the game for any amount of time longer than a few months you likely have a butt load of laurels. Buy those 1 laurel t6 material bags and just sell them. That's quite a bit of money that can be made just doing that. Also mystic coin value has gone down a bit; but I personally have like 130 of them. Making gold is not hard in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalkingwolf.6035 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Interesting that everybody writes how to make gold. I never wrote in my first post that the amount of gold is the problem. i wrote that the collection has to many "bring gold to get the collection". It's boring and uninspiring, because you do not have to play the new content. You go to another, old, content to run in circles to buy something from the new content. That is in my opinion bad/dull game design. Yes some of the trophies are from the new content. But not the part that takes long. run here buy something, run there buy something, run to this point an click an item. looks like someone designed this in his breakfast break.

etsubmariner.4690 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 This isn't about farming gold at all. These things are about the gemstore gold transactions. Anet wants that money. Literally your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtpelion.4562 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Using gold as the currency allows all players to play the type of content they enjoy playing to work towards acquiring the rewards. If you use a map currency or achievements, you force all players to play a specific type of content that they may not enjoy. Guild Wars 2 was founded on the principle of letting people play how they want, and having gold as the main currency for acquiring rewards works towards that goal. Obviously, they have rewards that are restricted to certain currencies or achievements, and having a few of those isn't bad, but if your expectation was that gold wouldn't be the way most players acquire most rewards, it's because you intentionally ignored everything about this game since before it's release up through now, and you'll find very little sympathy from those of us who love the "play how you want" style that this game heavily advertised.

He also said that other options were better or faster except under those specific circumstances. If option A (Griffon) is superior 30% of the time but options B and C are superior the remaining 70% of the time, then A's situational superiority is negated, and then some.

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Lets be honest.. everything in every MMO has some kind of grind requirement, just that some we see as more acceptable than others. XP is a grind and is key to pretty much every MMO/SP game ever made.. so its an excepted norm, made easier as you progress with the inclusion of insta level tokens, xp pots etc etc. Many games use gear trains so you farm gear or farm gold to get gear to keep BiS or like GW2 to be the best looking BiS with a luxury to change stats at will if you want to farm some more. Bottom line we are attuned to farming / grinding and/or buying what we need. But here's the catch.. your not in anyway forced to do it if you don't want to, but everyone tends to want the next best thing so we choose to and then complain about it after we start.

This is a petty complaint. What's the alternative? Of course things are always going to cost money. Did you expect them to release an expansion that does away with money and has no connection to the pre-existing economy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Aschi Popp.7496 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Anecdotal story. I lust for ghastly shield. I have no gold. When memory boxes came out I tried being a TP baron by scrounging gold to get jetpack( I wrongly thought it would be ghastly2.0 if anyone remembers)... Did fractals, league farm...sold ALL mats.... Bought jetpack and every sckerite skin... Now I look at my failed baron attempt and sit back for a few min... Then I say.... "How the fuck did I have 2k gold to get all this shit?" TL:DR; you have gold. You just don't know it OR are unwilling to liquidate for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Aschi Popp.7496 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oh sorry. The punchline of my lasp post was that I could have bought my stupid shield of I knew I was going to subconsciously accrue that much gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
