Great, Anet forgot the Tourney Tokens.
TheGuildWarsPenguin
Anet should have let people trade in 5/10 tourney tokens for a zaishen key.

Hey, life's not fair. You just got to move on and deal with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if they did allow that to happen though.

i'm not worried, i have about 4 stacks of tourney tokens collecting dust
but yes it would be cool if i could trade say 5 for a key.

I think it would be fair, considering we took the time to stock up. I have over 600 tokens, I'm probably never going to be in the tournaments. Let me use them...

hah, i just trashed a few stacks for more storage the other day, but yeah...

WTB zaishen key 200g...stacks of tourney tokens would equate to stacks of keys in the hands of relatively few people. This would then equate to a disproportionate number of gold drops from the chest to those individuals. You PvP'd, you have your rewards...and this gives you some more. As i said in the other thread...let tokens be traded for non-key items.

Don't see why this change shouldn't be made, tokens have way too little use at the moment.

Aren't tournament tokens for tournaments?
Never saw Anet say anywhere to stock up on tournament tokens for rewards. I really don't understand why you would gets stacks and stacks of the things with no indication they would be used for anything but tournaments.

I thought it was pretty clear that tournament tokens were for entering tournaments and nothing else.
MoldyRiceFrenzy
im completely content with the general vic + balth faction for zaishen keys. I do however have 2-3 stacks of tourn tokens... but at least anet implemented a decent balth faction sink so im happy

its probably cuz he doesnt do serious pve and only has pve gold. but seriously, tournament toekns prob wont be implemented b/c of the abilty to use faction now, although i woudlnt mind if i can trade in tokens.
Melkorium
Maybe if they allowed you to trade a tournament token back for 1000 faction. There's no real reason for them to lock Balt. Faction away in Tokens now that there's a use for it.

Of course it should be possible to exchange 5 tokens for a key, just give it a few days.
NeHoMaR
I agree, BUT .. it's NOT supposed to collect tokens in your inventory, you just buy one and use it.

Ok, don't flame me for this as I don't pvp, so this is a genuine question.
Are the PVP tournament tokens the same as the ones rewarded from the Xunlai Tournament House?
If so, then you can change them for keys. I had ten tokens left over from last months Xunlai awards, and I exchanged them for two Zaishen Keys this morning and opened the chest.

The chest drops everything from all Golds in the GW world to sweets to tomes to booze to tonics and consumables.
Sir Scorn
YES,
Please implement this. Our original sink was these tokens. It would be nice to unload some.

We are UAX (Unlocked Everything) Only 1 use for balthazar faction at this point which is Tourney Tokens, Since Im a good player at PVP I gain to much faction to quick just to let it sit at my Faction cap I spend it on Tokens, Even useing the tokens as fast as I can I still earn Way to much Faction which makes me fill up my invintory with Tokens.
You dont understand because you do not earn faction at the rate of most GOOD PVP players.
Does that answer your newbie question?
Gargle Blaster
first let me say big thanks go out to the developers for adding a new use for faction. I hope tournament tokens could be exchanged for keys also at the expected rate of 5 per key. i have a good stash of tokens and i don't play in the tournaments...
thanks again,

Honestly, the amount of people who are saying "yeah I've got stacks of tokens sitting around" is baffling. Why did you buy them, if you had no intention of using them?

Why let your faction stay capped when you could have a lovely +20 popup every few seconds?
If you don't buy them, you were missing out on free stuff.
I stopped buying them because I ran out of inventory space and clicking buy token 100 times every time I hit max faction was pretty dumb.

But you are ignoring the fact that tokens is the only thing we could get with our faction if we had already unlocked everything for a very long time. Now we have a way to empty our faction. All we are asking for is to let us trade that faction that we spent on tokens (when tokens where the only option) for keys.

You spent your 'paycheck' on things you didn't need, and now you're complaining that you can't get your money back. Sorry?

I bought these tokens because I did not want to see faction just go down the drain, now what am I suppose to do with me.

And yes with most real life items you can get your money back, or at least exchange purchased items for items of the same value.

This only makes sense, I am hardcore pve player and don't even Pvp much and but I still have everything i need unlocked thanks to AB.
My balthazars faction cap limit is 10K thats it:P I do have a fair collection of tourney tokens.Thats like 3 games of AB to max it, the tourney tokens were the only way to spend it.
But heres the thing I know a guy who just has over a Million tournament tokens o.o
That would mean 200,000 keys, imagine what those keys can unleash on the market, all golds will be dirt cheap.
But please Anet let their be a way to get 1K balthazars faction back by exchanging a tournament token, its not fair to people with maxed out balthazars action who had no way to spend it cept using tourney tokens!

yes a very large penalty YOU no longer Recieve Faction once you hit the cap.
That means when your total faction hits the cap and you have lets say 1.8mill balth faction and a faction cap of 26k If you continue to play PVP and not spend the 26k faction your Total balth faction will stay at 1.8 mill.
You learn something new every day Well this is not new at all but Here you go hope this explains it.
Honestly the amount of people who do not notice this is baffling
