Telyn Ethuil.6908 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 If you're like me and semi-seriously do WvW on any semblance of regular basis, you probably also have a number of the Emblem of the Avenger sitting in your bank. Or you did, but you deleted them. The sheer number of player kills you do in a squad ensures you get a bunch of them, and they do nothing but sit there unless you plan on making untold numbers of Conflux.The idea: the Skirmish vendor that sells the triumphant hero/mistforged hero armour/weapons also allows you to trade in your vast numbers of emblems for WvW currencies. As each emblem is 100 kills, it should trade for half that.So,1 Emblem = 50 Memories of Battle, OR 50 Badges of Honor, OR either 50 of the Heroic tokens, OR 50 skirmishing tickets. Or maybe even a jug of karma, or reward track boost for whatever.This ensures that even the most diehard players of WvW can trade the surplus for something useful to them. All I know is that I personally won't be evolving 10+ Slumbering Conflux to the ball-wielding full Conflux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I don't think they'll allow for skirmish ticket conversion. Badge of honor / tribute maybe or reward track progress, with testimonies of heroics or memories of battle much less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltekka.2375 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 How about no. This will encourage bandwagon even more, overstacking of 1-2 servers to kill enemies 24/7, make huge profit, repeat. If you're on a European fight server, you can get 5+ of these in 2 hours after reset or on primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I agree, it should be possible to merch these things, I suggest 64 copper. Easier to get rid of them that way, destroying is too cumbersome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm not sure about the numbers proposed in the OP, for a start I don't think 50 skirmish tickets is equal to 50 badges of honour, badges are much, much easier to obtain so it should give more badges than tickets (and I'd probably suggest reducing the number of tickets rather than increasing the badges).But I absolutely agree that it would be better to have something to do with these other than store them indefinitely or delete them. Even if it was just the option to sell it for 30 silver like the legendary spike. Destroying them is annoying, and it feels like a real waste to destroy what's supposed to be a good drop, but like the OP I'm unlikely to ever use them, certainly not all the ones I can get.(Sometimes I wish newer legendary collecitons worked like the weapons where you can't get the drops until you choose to activate the collection. I've got all these odd bits of different legendary collections from raids, WvW and probably other places which I don't want to get rid of, just in case I decide to use them, but for now they're just taking up space. I suppose the point is to encourage us to make the legendaries, but it's kind of annoying.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telyn Ethuil.6908 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I agree that I may have been over-ambitious with the high values of the currencies. Hell, I would even take a coin value at this point. I just don't have a need for the extensive amounts of them I've got and will continue to get. Plus I would rather be able to trade the surplus than just delete them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaoda.1653 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It would be neat if they had a vendor value of 1 gold each, could be used in future WvW 'collections', or be traded in for Potions of WvW experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridget Morrigan.1752 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I concur with whoever said that 50 of each of those things doesn't make sense, but it would be nice to have something to do with the items now that I've made the legendary, especially if there's a legendary armory coming.

mindcircus.1506 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I would rather some kind of rewards we can use them as currency for... some new weapon skins... something really high quality... charge me 100 Emblems each.Either that or let me vendor them for a gold each. Would go a long way to putting some profit in the game mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum.6983 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Yes please! I wish they'd give us some other way to get skirmish Tickets but doubt it'd ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I agree, I dont have any plans to go after any legendary trinkets (not until you can turn off all their ugly effects) and I don't like very limited use items especially common ones that just end up getting stockpiled in massive numbers reasonably quickly.Bottles of Airship Oil and the other HoT mats like it are another big offender to this too.. they just pile up rapidly and you can't sell them or trade them so im constantly deleting them and it's very annoying.Make em useful or allow us to sell or trade them for something else.

lare.5129 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 this is good kp for strikes. So there is no any big problem.If someone don't need - take right mouse on it, hold, and move from inventory.Solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightX.6294 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 play wvw if u want wvw currencies. but if you get what you want, then i want the raid currencies exchangeable for the loads and loads of wvw currencies i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 At the very very VERY least, let us consume them for 100 Karma each or something. There is just zero reason to have to either stack these in storage, or destroy them. At least Legendary Spikes can be vendored for 30s each.

Taylan.2187 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 There should definitely be a way to use them up / sell them, even if just for a tiny benefit like 10 silver each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy the map and everything but it just doesnt really feel like WvW to me unless there's some blowhard on discord telling me to empower and a half dozen forum threads complaining about having to actually play it to get the rewards.
