1. Some beta testers have posted that they have gotten 3-4 Gems inside the chests rarely.
2. I said Keys have a low drop rate in game.
3. The "Gold to Gem" and "Gem to Gold" is based on player purchase of said Gems. The "converter" feature is just a front so that you can't see what other people are posting for the Gems. If no one ever buys a single gem for cash, , you wont miraculously be able to trade your gold to non-existant gems. Someone HAS to buy the Gems with real currency before the converter can sell gems for in game currency. Current rate is 80 Gems to the US $. A Key is 125 Gems... Roughly $1.37
I have done alot of research, and I don't say things out of ignorance. If they removed Gem drops from chests, that is news to me, but the Gem converter has been verified to only work with already purchased Gems. Someone HAD to have purchased the gems before they show up on that "converter".
At this point though, these conversations are moot. I didn't intend for my posts to be misinterpreted as hate, nor am I out to help people away from the game. I stated my opinions, and wished people happy gaming. I still feel people are free to enjoy whatever they please. Night
Sorry but you DO NOT need to wait for someone to sell gems. So even if no one spends real money Gems are still available for a gold to gem conversion at a rate set by Arenanet.
