Maybe when I get all of the relevant things unlocked (like the portal scroll) it won't feel so bad to me. I don't have much time to play though, so 10 silver does legitimately feel like a lot. I play maybe 30-45 minutes a day. I logged on just now, wasn't feeling well enough to really enjoy exploring the new maps, decided to hop to silverwastes or some other easy map for a bit, saw the price tag, and decided to log out instead. I wonder if Anet has considered the possibility that this might discourage movement around the world and result in fewer people doing a greater variety of content. I hope older maps don't get even less populated, because I like to revisit them and do a wider variety of things rather than be focused on one goal at a time. I'm sure one way or another I'll get used to it, but for people who don't have much time and don't always want to do the dailies with what time they have, 10 silver can actually feel significant. I use the WvW route to lion's arch to cut down costs, but my computer takes forever to load a new location, so it's a bit of a drag and time sink. Grumble grumble! Still an amazing expansion though. I feel like they outdid themselves. It's like a ticket to Disneyworld. So expensive, but so amazing.
