Quote From Guild Wars "It’s true that Guild Wars is a competitive game and therefore focuses much more on player skill than on item acquisition."

but yet sigils are going to like 30k now wich take actuall skill to get but pve farming takes no skill and they can make much more money faster

Wait...so how does this have to do with skill again? Getting money doesn't equal skill.

Are you suggesting that Sigils should ONLY be available from winning Hoh? And that buying/selling them should not be possible?

People take advertising way to seriously. Yeah, the game is more about player skill than most online RPG's, if not all. It doesn't mean that the game is ALL about skill; some things will take time to do.

I think he is complaining that you can only sell a sigil for 30k and that earning sigils takes a good deal of skill. While farming in PvE you usually can make 30k much more easily and quickly. While this may be true, money is a PvE part of the game and the PvE portion of the game is less skill oriented. You can still get through all of PvE if you are good with minimal need for gold. Additionally gold won't help you perform in PvP.

lol. the point of that quote is it doesn't matter if you get an 'uber' item at lvl 1, you dont have the skill, you're going nowhere :P (unless you have the money to be run there).

He's not a bad kid, but don't bother if you don't understand what the hell he's talking about.

all i want is a decent amount for my sigils, 3 drop in hoh a every win so chances are your not getting one and when you do you get 30k..... pve takes no skill i could beat this game with an empty skill bar just let other people do it for me. go in pvp with an empty skill bar and you wont get very far.

I still don't understand what you want to say. You say that to win in Tombs you need skill. So it does focus on skill, doesn't it?
Gold is irrelevant, PvP is not meant to be a gold source.

it should be because people who win hoh are the best players in the game and they should be richer then anybody

YOU ARE WRONG ON ALL COUNTS

you play for the glory and fun of it not money (a genuine PVP player said that so it MUST be true)

you want gold farm for it.

30k is plenty of gold for doing something you would do anyway.

It also could be that you're trolling for attention and this thread should be closed. Not to mention you should be sent to your room and grounded from your computer, lol.

It is that the people who win HoH are the best players. If you don't take in the right skills, USE THEM CORRECTLY and work well as a team, you're gonna get nowhere.

You can have the 'best' armour, a maxed weapon and lots of runes, but if you don't have the skill, and you can't work as a team, you're not gonna win. Difference being with other games (i.e. Ultima Online for an example), then unless you get the first hit in, you're gonna die. But in this game, if you have the skill, you can pull back from any situation to win.

Besides, if the case you want is that sigils cost 100k, then according to your apparent wishes, only people who win HoH will ever be able to afford to buy them from other HoH winners.

back when they were 100k+ MOST (not all) of the whiners yelling for price relief were PVP players who were so bad they couldnt win one and were not willing to farm a few days to get the gold

yeah farming for a sigil gets you on the ladder how exactly? it gets you rank 6 how?

also, when the game came out, how exactly did one farm 100k in a few days? new account L1 player i dont think so.

at one time they went for 2k (your price may vary)

as soon as we can toggle capes i will get a hall simply for the extra guild storage space.

the cape ruins my elemonks looks

you quoted 100k in your first post, they cost 80k+ for at least the first month.
