Honestly, my biggest problem with GW2 is the gem-to-gold trade. I was able to level to 80 with cooking in a matter of hours, simply from purchasing gems, trading for gold, and buying materials at the auctions. It honestly ruined the game for me, because while I did it to myself, it harmed my experience due to the lack of naturally leveling and now I'm trying to shove myself back into the world so I can experience the dungeons/endgame and incredible level design.
Originally posted by loltacolol GW2 has one of the worst store models ever, i am sure it makes a ton of money for NC/Arenanet but holy crap there are so many cool weapon skins and other items locked behind 100s or even 1000s of dollar walls between the box rng and keys you have to buy. I would much rather buy a skin set for 20 bucks than pay 20 in keys in hope of never getting jack crap and the sad part is other MMORPGs are following that model like RIFT which is complete crap! 2 grand to get a stupid bird mount LOL!??! Seriously things are getting out of hand in the F2P market.
Erm *cough* if you are refering to the lovestruck skins, that shit is 60-70g in the auction house. You can farm that much in a day ... week at worst o.O
Besides I like their model because when I pay ... I receive, and I don't receive promises like you usually do with subscription games, nope.

I call bullshit. A profession that doesn't raise to stage 500 gives only 10 levels 0-400. Its a fixed rate exp you get. Nice try though...
GW2 is the only game with the CS is not abusive I know off and teh game keep himself fresh with teh living world thing so we can go in and do the events, be part of the story, if you miss it, well you can always ask you friends about how it goes.
funny is people complaining about they don't like it, they want it to stay, but also I heard people want to have a more things matter in the world. so figures
What I don't understand is this whole perception that microtransactions lead to pay to win or whatever you call it. This has been only prelevant in some Asian/Korean grinders some time ago. Nowadays it is extremely unusual to find a cash shop which is buy to play in any western MMO. If one happened to be pay to win, that would be the very rare exception rather than the norm.

With GW2 they're so stingy with the gold and you can see the reason for it now. Buy gems, convert gold is the fastest way to get gold. Who wants to do champ runs for hours on end when they log in to make gold when you can just buy it and save yourself weeks worth of work farming champs?

Again, it is your choice if you want to get instant gratification. If you do then you pay. If you don't and are willing to go the traditional route then you don't have to.
Across 2 accounts I've spent $20 on gems because my son wanted to buy some cosmetics or pets in the gem shop.
I make plenty of gold to play the game outside of that. What do you need to make massive amounts of gold for? Is it that you want the nicest skins in the game, but you don't want to spend the time to earn them?
I don't play the game. I played it a few months at release. My Mom, who is 59, was still playing it and she played a lot, it was just easier to gain gold by buying gems(though now she's uninstalled the game and is now playing EQ Landmark). It's not worth turning in what little gold you do make for gems. It's better to buy the gems and convert it to gold imo. That's my opinion and you have yours. Neither are right or wrong, it's preference and opinion. A lot bothers me about GW2, aside from their crappy WvsW, their stinginess with gold and manipulating the gold to gem market bugs me.
As someone who went from WoW to GW2 I can easily say the Gem Store in its current state is easily acceptable and fine. You have Wow which is a monthly fee AND they cut content from game and let you buy for ridiculous amounts. GW2 pumps FREE content out on such a fast pace you easily get your moneys worth.
Azurrel who says gold is hard to get is correct though, and that is intended. It lets gold keep value and not get to stupid amounts like WoW which is easily in the millions. The fact ANY player can get gold and buy items from the cash shop is a extra bonus. You don't NEED any items in there, they are a bonus if you decide you want it, whether that;s with real money or gold.
WoW cutting out game content and making you pay for it? Really? Pets and mounts that are few and no better than everything found in game, equals game content to you? Getting that desperate, are we?
If you are that desperate to defend GW2's item shop by erroniously comparing it to WoW's, come back when WoW's item shop lets you pay for resources, perks, boosts, convient fast travel items, content area's etc like GW2's does lol.
The game has moved firmly into the P2W grinder camp. Either you grind for 12 hours a day to be relevant/make enough gold to get by, or you get a full time job and buy gems and convert to gold, which is the better option. 1 day of work at minimum wage makes you roughly a months worth of gold from farming in game. This is broken. This is a completely broken system.
That's not by accident, ArenaNet is not to blame for this, but their parent company NC$oft however, is. Good luck with WildStar and the inevitable cash grab it becomes as well if you are looking forward to it, because as soon as they figure out it's not a WoWkiller, it's going to become another cash grab style dagger in your back grinder.
Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV Have played: You name it If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
No, they cant blame the gem shop. It's its general lack of a soul, the lack of defined roles for ppl to sink their teeth into and the absence of any point in progressing through the game once the exploration novelty wears off...none of it feels like it hangs together...despite the amazing job they did on the graphics and art design.

ya thats one of the reason im staying away from wildstar that i really didnt want to mention, is the fear of what NCsoft did to it.
also im till bitter about CoX R.I.P.
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.

but you grind for what? can you tell me?
for legendary? its optional
ascended gear? they are easy to get if you play the game and do stuff doesnt req any grind
i got like 10 boxes with ascended gear in like 2 weeks just playing 2-3 hours a day

Thats not on live servers...it was there for like 10 min after the servers came back up after maintance, and was unusable and removed almost immediatly. Simple research would have shown you that, but I guess you couldn't be bothered and just wanted to flame....$60 was also the temp PTR listing, Blizz has never confirmed how much it will cost, it may end up being 60, it might be less, we don't know yet. All items that appeared on the PTR were listed as more expensive than when it went live.
This discussion keeps getting better lol. I wonder how many more posts will say that WoW allows you to buy max level toons, while talking in the past or current tense.

I think you should see a doctor you seem depressed.
What do you mean exactly by "grind for 12 hours a day to be relevant" o.O
It's not like they introduce new tiers of gear every other month or something. Exotic is still pretty much the best armor around. I have my exotic armor a month after headstart. I'm soloing Lupicus and kill decent amount of people in WvW in 1vs3 fights or in zerg vs zerg with that very same armor (I only swapped stats once!). Your first sentence makes your opinion irrelevant and more of a whiny post than a constructive criticism. I honestly a single item in the cash shop that would give me the edge over another experienced player in any of the game modes that Guild Wars 2 provides.
I can't comment on WildStar since I haven't even been in the beta or something, but there are plenty of interviews with Colin Johanson where he is thankful to NCSoft for not adding pressure to ArenaNET.

I'm having tanky and dps characters, all of my girlfriend's characters are supporters either through CC or healing.
Believe it or not such stuff exist in Guild Wars 2. I guess you are just too busy mashing random keys to notice that.
Here's an open challenge. I'll play with tanky guardian/warrior and I want you to defeat me with your razor blazing OP berserker warrior if you insist. Show me how there is no tanky role and there is no damage mitigating roles
If you are up though, I can bring my girlfriend for heal support if you think there is no viable healer in this game :O
I think the gem store is ok. I dislike them in MMOs overall, however, as far as this one goes, it's not terrible. I do use it, I buy gems, I treat it like it's my Sub so I don't go overboard. There is nothing in the shop that will break anyone else's game so I don't consider it P2W. But there are some issues. The biggest problem surrounding the shop is the Gold/Gem market. But this problem isn't really about the shop itself. I think the gold issue in the game right now is being caused by power trading. A wealthy few have controlled the game's economy and have ruined it. One of the worst parts of the game now is the fact that it actually costs more to craft an item than to buy it. Even if you have the mats stored up, you'd be better off selling just enough to exchange for the item you want. If I wasn't in the process of hoarding mats to make ascended, I don't think I'd ever even keep a crafting mat in my possession. They'd have been sold off immediately.

All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I have played many, many, MANY mmos in my past and honestly GW2's gem store is by far one of the more acceptable ones i have seen. I personally wanted the airship pass that came out for 5 days. i ran escape from Lions arch and got the gems to get it. it took about 7 hours to farm the 90gold but it was worth it. Is the item game changing? not at all it lets me go to an air ship that has crafters/banks/re-trainer/mystic forage and guild npcs. its more of "i'm to lazy to run to town" the armor skins ad nothing other then a look. and TBH i find most lvl 79 armor looks better. They do not let you pay for levels. you can trade gems for gold but its also gold for gems. You cant buy those cool weapons "legendary" ones sure you can spend 300-400 bucks on gems turn it in to gold and spend 2.3k on one but why bother? farming is not tough nor boring. If your smart you can actually make money off of the gem network. i had 300 gems on me a week ago i sold them the first day the new items came out and got 12gold to 100 gems. normal is 5-6gold per 100. Then when it dropped down to 7gold per 100 gems i went ahead and bought gems. i'm not sitting on 500 gems and happy.

It's bad enough that this same flame topic gets regurgitated every month or so for over a year now. Now this site is actively helping to perpetuate this crap?

The game is only P2W if you consider 'having a cash shop' as the same thing. And by that logic, literally every MMO on the market currently would be 'p2w'. Subscription, or no. There's enough of a hate bandwagon going on already on this site. Why add more to the pile?

I think you have a point. I think that ESO is going to hurt the GW2 population, at least in the beginning. It may in the long run too if the AvA is engaging enough. Right now, there isn't a comparable game for WvW......
James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got?
Apart of the transmutation item that let's you change appearance/stats of a lvl 80 armour/weapon being only acquirable with gems (Since the free version only works on armour/weapons 1-79) and bags/bank upgrades can only be get with gems (Which I was luckily in the launch of the game and managed to transfer some gold to gems when the ratio was much more fair nowadays it takes so much gold to even get a mesly 100 gems it's insane) there's nothing really that screams pay to win for me...
Comments
no, theres no impact.
its just like choosing to eat 'healthy', 'not healthy' or in 'moderation'...
now if they sold expansions to characters guild, then maybe...but iam ok with shops.

"Is the Gem Store Ruining Guild Wars 2?" was designed to get you in here and read, I'll admit."
-You got me!
"Have you purchased anything from the gem store? What is your favorite, or least favorite, item in the gem store? "
-I enjoy playing the game and enjoy trading gold for Gems to buy items from Gem Store. I have bought:
1. 3 extra character slots
2. Total makeover kit
3. Aetherblades armor Medium skins
4. Black Lion chest Keys (regretted doing so, didn't get anything worth the 50 gold spent and will never do that again!)
-Spent real cash to buy Gems because I didn't have the time to play or farm the gold and the below items were going away from Gem Store.
1. Toxic Shoulder and Gloves skins (Cash for Gems)
