You still have to play the game to earn those, it's just a different process and potentially using a different character. This doesn't require playing the game at all to use. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Someone is making up their own definition of what 'pay to win' means and then complain because, oddly enough, the game they're playing matches that new definition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now apparently you can buy an item that allows you to complete a hero challenge in any expansion. Pay some money, skip the hero challenge and get the points. Plus bonus, makes map completion easier cause you don't have to do them now, you can just pay money to complete it. I don't know. Feels like a slippery slope. I'm curious why they thought to add this to the gem store. Just buy the power, no need to earn it now. Hmm... yeah I made a joke post about it, as I said there, we prob getting pois and vistas too, so entire map comp will be buyable 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got no dislike/facepalm, so they just use those instead. And people troll the forums doing nothing but those for no reason. Someone asked a question earlier if it was a random hero point or they could pick, and I just answered their question and let them know it was random. Got three "dislikes" for just trying to be helpful and answer someone's question lol. So yeah, they mean nothing. Just ignore them. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the hero point scroll is discussed in the BLTC blog post for today and is one of the first things shown on the TP when you open it, so I'm not sure you can say they "stealthed" it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people complain about skipping content but all all these things does is skip the time and NONE of it is pay to win, never ever was in this game cause everything you can just buy with in game currency. It can be unfair to some, maybe, but anyone who consider this pay to win have no clue what it means and is using the term just because they like it I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
particlepinata.9865 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Welcome to Whale wars. I already see the change for the last few years. This is again a item (like the paid level booster and wp unlocks) that is pay to progress. Its obvious that Arenanet has permanently changed since the mass layoffs 4 years ago. The heavy NC Soft influence is noticable since that time. Add to that the decrease in creativity and productivity, a lot of recycling, minimals unique assets and functionality since EOD and even more since SOTO, compare that to HOT, POF, LS3 and LS4. The narrowing of PVE design to a minimal level. 5 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever. The same can be said about all the noob traps in the Wizard's Vault and the hero's choice chests but this time we are talking about real money. Why do you even call this a noob trap? Very early in the game you learn that doing HPs is pretty easy, I can not imagine any new player, coming to the game and instantly buying all HPs for money. If they do then well....up to them, they probably have enough money and Anet deserve it in that case. If anything I would call it stupid trap and not noob trap. Cause if you buy it, it is all you are. Edited November 28, 2023 by Cernoch.8524 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 1 hour ago, SpyderArachnid.5619 said: Not everyone does PvP/WvW. That NPC doesn't mean much to those that don't engage in that content. And besides, that NPC sells things for in game currency that you earn. You worked for that currency and rewarded yourself for your work by buying HP unlocks. It's a bit different than just opening your wallet and swiping to have your HPs done. No effort and faster to boot. The HP unlock can be acquired via in game earned currency (gold) as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
