2 x £17 purchases
bag slots, 3 dye packs and krytan armour for my ranger sold the remaining 250 gems for cash , casual player so would be months before I had it available via in game money by which point gems wont be anywhere near the cheap price they are now. |

Originally posted by Jyiiga I didn't even think of that. Thanks, Jyiiga! filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise.

Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Originally posted by thamighty213 From what I've seen in chat, the problem is often people not knowing how to use transmutation. The most common issues is that the User made no or partial selection. The user has to manually select the appearance, stats and (if present) bonuses. Once all three are selected and green, the button highlights. It seems the assumption is that it works like other systems and you just put the two items in and hit a button - more options are actually present in GW2. filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise.

I haven't spent anything yet, but I do plan on spending at higher levels, or once I require additional slots.

So much about P2W doom bringers... The poll says it all. Completely cosmetic, convenient and optional.

Looking at the poll, the results are kinda in line with most other F2P games. Slightly better, even.

MMORPGs are no longer about the mass multi-user anymore *sadly* |

No need to buy gems for real money for me. Right now I'm level 35 and have 2 1/2 gold already. Soon I'll get my gems from trade post and buy stuff I 'need' from the cash shop ;)

Nothing so far and I don't think I will in the near future. If the 3 characters I'm levelling now are fun enough, then I might get extra character slots. And I'll buy at least the first expansion. Times are good for now.

I am temporarily back and did a few minutes digging trying to find at least one official statement that supports the notion of Arenanet providing initial supply of gems.
I quote from http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/gamereport/everything_you_wanted_afraid_know_4xOMW7P9b03RSigxUazMXO :
William: No pay-to-win is very good to hear. And you said that the players determine the economy to a certain extent. Does that mean that there’s a player-based economy? Does that mean the gem conversion shop prices are gonna be determined by the players? Do you have an initial set price at the gem conversion shop? Matt: I know, basically, that players can purchase gems and they can place them up for sale and the gold price will fluctuate and a different amount of players buy those gems. So that’s what I meant in terms of a player-controlled market. I don’t know the specifics of the implementation on that so I can’t really comment. (NOTE: Full answer provided in follow-up email sent after the interview: ArenaNet will set the initial exchange rate for gems to gold when the servers first open for headstart, but after that the rate will fluctuate based on supply and demand of the players using the Currency Exchange. The gems and gold players get from the Currency Exchange are supplied by other players, not ArenaNet. As supply of gems goes up, the price will go down and vice versa. While we do not expect prices to fluctuate wildly, smart traders will be able to get good deals by watching the exchange rate closely and waiting for it to favor gems or gold, whichever they are looking to purchase.)
Now the question is: how on Earth do they introduce that "initial exchange rate"? One simple possible answer is: Arenanet provides a supply of gems and gold at start; the comparison of the supplies dictactes the exchange rates. When a player buys gems, he obtains gems from the gem supply and his gold is transfered to the gold supply and the exchange rates change accordingly; the converse happens when a player buys gold i.e. his gems is transfered to the gem supply while he obtains gold from the gold supply.
If you can suggest another method for how they introduce "initial exchange rate" I am all ears. |

I bought 800 gems to unlock 2 inventory slots which costed me 10€. Then I exchanged about 3 gold for 1000 gems to unlock the last inventory slot, as well as one bank slot. The market is new and the gems are cheap. I think it's a good time to buy them now since there's not enough money on the market yet to demand more ingame currency for your cash. |

None. I might get an additional character slot eventually, but that is doubtful. I don't think I will level more than five toons to 80, but who knows.
