(Not weekly) Reminder (anymore because who care's about WvW? Anet doesn't) Emblems of the Avengers are still a thing and useless...

[gooddrakkarboi.4870]

Emblems of the Avenger are still a thing, they drop and they are still useless... Can you for the love of mankind finally do something about it? Why is it so hard to place a weekly vendor for WvW (like fractals, strikes, raids, PVE IN SEITUNG all have already?) to make use of useless items or to make the game mode at least a bit more profitable? Just a bit?

copy and paste... smh my head

 

Emblem of the Avenger, or Avengers... whatever, still totally useless for soon 2 years now 😄

And why does Conqueror drop every 100 captures? Just stick it in a vendor like the trash these things are and disable the pointless repeatable achievements for them.

Utterly half-arsed implementation, and beyond that, abject failure to do basic maintenance on a "cornerstone" game mode.

 

I'm sure in 4 years' time, when the Restructuring Beta Week #26 takes place, we'll see a major WvW patch whose focus is entirely based on removing these items.

Yo...can you please add Obsidian Shard to this as well?

There's a QoL WvW update on the horizon, maybe they'll make them useful.

Emblems of Avenger = Make it 1 gold (for killing 100 players) sellable to vender.  Sounds Fair right?

Won't happen because then there would be ~100k gold added from just the top 25 players with the most Emblems of the Avenger. I'm barely in the top 300 with ~2k of them. So if everyone sold them for 1g, there would be over 600k gold added to the game from just the top 300 players.

*per just the people on gw2efficieny. Could be more since not everyone's data is record there.

Their fault for not putting a gold value to begin with.

I don't disagree. 1g probably would have been fine if we didnt have so many banked up. But I highly doubt they would allow that much gold to hit the economy now.

Not just useless. Worse than useless because they require typing to destroy.

Literally would take spikes over them.

These things should be turned into a currency instead.

Yes, I'm stacking them to 250 so I only have to write the name out once.

That's a really good point. I'd still be okay with it, but they'd have to weigh how much flak they'd get over the decision. People would freak out over the lump sum but if it were spread out it would just look like our stacks of Legendary Spikes.

You make legendaries to sell them.

I'm no economist so I don't know but I'd assume the longer they exists without value, the more unlikely we'll get a gold value added to them. Even at 25s, I'd get 500g. Which tbh seems more reasonable but I honestly have no idea how many the average WvW player has or what the actual population is.

inb4 they get added to out of sight out of mind the wallet.

Currency for a WvW vendor of various goods, agree. Its a sign of mostly active gameplay so has a good foundation to being one.
