And in the Prophecies way of doing things, the old goal would be to play the game again a few times through. Once as a Mesmer, once as a dervish, once as a monk... etc. I can't speak for everybody, but I know a few of my friends and I feel more forced to focus on a single character and don't really like it. I think the people that are so into guild wars that they'd grind and spend millions on the Hall would still be into the game enough to stick around for GW2. If this is just the beginning and GW2 is more focused on grind (as a no level cap could indicate) it might do as much to turn off the less hardcore players.

But you are not actually "farming" them, they are just a byproduct as the result of your farm. But w/e idk let's drop this.

I only hope you understand that you can not use those weapons in GW2. So, there is no point to spending all that money anyway, whether you can use the weapons in GW1 or not, they are merely going to be on display in your HoM.

And for me, replaying the game as a different class is boring. A-net has to play a balancing act, make people who like playing multiple character happy, and at the same time make single character people happy. Anet has done a pretty good job imo in this balance, both play style get benefits. Only thing I'd think they need to change is make HoM and KoaBD titles account wide, (ie make it count unique max titles on all characters). The HoM change will happen eventually.

I VS farm, and I get enough for a weapon once a say when I do farm. it's not hard...potentially 10 runs gets you one weapon, let's shoot for 15. I've been getting boned in my runs so getting any gold at all is a rare occasion, it's added up to quite a bit. I'm pretty much limited by granite slabs which I refuse to buy.

I'm surprised Destroyer weapons are being confused as anything more than goldsink.

Just wondering if anyone has an inkling. Do we know if the HOM weapons will be an either or situation IE only Tormented or only Destroyer?
I want to save an get some Tormented bits for my mains but filling HOM with Destroyer weps will be so much cheaper if it can only be one set of weapons and not both types (EG 4 Tormented, 4 Destroyer).
