Menadena.7482 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If the griffon becomes SOP we will probably get Aurene (or the wyvrrn, which they demoed) as something we can buy in-game. Let the babies have their griffons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashiva.6149 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 So players can instantly buy what I and others worked so hard to earn, not to mention invalidate all the work that was put in into this (for me) enjoyable scavenge hunt? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I am confused about the lack of time thing. There is nothing that says you must do it all in one go. You could grab one egg a day if you want to and similar for other collection items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe offer a dragon skin for another 2,000 Gems so I can cosplay as Daenerys.Why would they give you an actual mount for 2k gold when currently for 2k gold in gem store all you get is a skin pack?

Cobrakon.3108 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Getting the Griffon is like 1/10th the effort of getting a Legendary, I say keep it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashiva.6149 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 And yes, it is 250 gold total but not upfront. It may be up to personal perception, but having it be 10 increments of 25 gold made it feel sooo much more achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it takes way less Gems to convert to gold than 2,000 Gems to get to 250g.(I think we're all being trolled here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the babies have their griffons.Here's the funny thing when you throw the word baby around I get the impression of some no life leech on society that doesn't work and spends most of their time playing GW2 farming instead of working at a full time job and by passing a time sink (how ever small it actually is) to convert Gems to Gold. I did that for my Ascended Armor, Ascended Weapons, and the 250G I needed for my Mount, why because I'm in a place financially in my life where I can blow $100 a month on Gems..Back to the actual topic though you sure get a lot more gold than 250G when converting 2,000 Gems, I should know, I've actually done it with closer to 4,000 Gems for 800G when I crafted my Light Ascended Set from 'scratch'.

So maybe 4,000 gems sounds like a better number to unlock? How much should they charge to unlock and fill the griffon mastery track without leveling?

Maybe if they increase the price to 3,000 for non-PoF players, they'll do it? Then maybe 3,500 to unlock and complete the Griffon mastery track?
