there wont be, theres going to be a major discrepancy between the two. The only feasible way to get gems will be through the cash shop. People wont spend money just to hand out gems.
This is a volcano brewing, when the blinded fanboys come to realize this at launch there will be a major erruption.
Man this is shaping up to be one hell of a summer. People buying into TSW hype, now this holy grail of a p2w game of GWII, there will be endless truely free entertainment on these forums.
Whatever, there aren´t that much need of gold anyways. You get armor for completing dungeons and it have the same stat as any other gear. You will get some runes and use some gold to repair your armor, and you might use it to buy some stuff to your guildhouse but basically will gems basically be to show stuff off and gold wont be an issue either.
GW2 just isn´t the game for someone that want realistic economy but frankly are MMOs usually bad on that, Daggerfall and Morrowwind had a better economy than 99% of the MMOs.
I played GW1 for 5 years, I didn´t really start using gold until HoM got in. I did get an elite armor for my main before that but it was just because I maxed out the money on the character. Why would I spend a fortune on a minipet that only shows in outposts when I already have 35 I don't ever use?
The lack of itemization makes the whole gold thing kinda pointless, you play to have a good time, not to gain gold and stuff.
And some people will get upset because of that, but not like you think they will.
I hav the suspicion they want to run Guild Wars 2 much like World of Tanks, in that you will probably be paying for consumables and leveling speed.
Unfortunately my bank will not let me borrow funds to pre-purchase it... even after explaining that the money would be for GW2. The guy I spoke too was just as excited as I was for the game, but his boss was apparantly watching over his shoulder...
As soon as I can, I will.
I chuckled when I read this. Seriously, if money is a little tight this payday you could always go for a payday loan or send out an e-mail with your birthday (early-birthday or belated-birthday) request. For me, it took three months to save up enough to buy two copies of the game.
Hey didnt want to make new topic but got few questions.
Do i get 3 day headstart only if I preorder digital version from Anet. Will it take same time to download digitally because you dont get CD with box either?

You get 3day headstart and beta acces if you PRE-PURCHASE from a select retailer or A-net. IF you choose to participate in the betas then you will have to download a special client for the beta.
1 question tho. The beta-weekend events. Are they each weekend, or in weekends they specify? I didn't receive any email yet :< Do they announce beta weekends somewhere?

I'm sure everyone who pre-purchased the game will get an email when they decide when the beta weekends are. No info yet, I am waiting anxiously.

Not yet, I'll buy the game just before official release. I had to upgrade my computer because of GW2 so I'm low on money right now. xD
I realize that it's a small sample, but that's a lot more yes than I was expecting. Most people I know are interested but want more info.
