This appears that it will become a useless currency. There appears to be only 2 things you can do with it, buy stuff and make food Once you have bought what you want from the vendor there is nothing left but cooking. Note that, as far as I can see, the best equipment you can buy is the exotic warhorn, the rest are rares which are pretty useless. From my research there are no worthwhile recipes, they are all rare or lower. Considering that the cooking level has been upped to 500 and ascended, there is no point in these recipes. The home instance node only drops one or two with a chance to get a few more. I bought the node from the vendor for 5000 VM and 60 gold. These are now trading at 20 gold, and the trend is downward. So I wasted 40 gold and 5000 VM. The current TP price also that indicates what the GW2 community think of their worth With S4 currencies you could buy ascended equipment and the excess stock could be converted to VM. Unfortunately the hatched chilies can't be converted and the equipment is very sub par. Overall I think the latest release was very good, particularly the Metal Legion concert. But hatched Chills have been a huge miss. Please gives us something to do with with what looks like it will be a useless object and end up getting deleted. Oh and the Picante achieve doesn't work
