About Guild Wars 2 Gold

Guild Wars 2 (GW2), released in late 2012 is a free-to-play MMO by ArenaNet and NCSoft that features active combat, a skill-based PvP system, weapon-based skills and two distinct dungeon modes. The game was positively received by gamers and continued to see soaring number of new players months after its official launch date. The story follows that five warring nations in Tyria battle against each other over centuries for power. Now they face a new threat: Zhaitan, the undead Elder Dragon. Summoning the land of Orr, Zhaitan triggers earthquakes and tidal waves wiping out cities across the Sea of Sorrows. With Zhaitan causing mass devastation, the five races are forced to unite to combat this deadly foe. Heroes must stand equipped with magic and technological advancements to defend the very fabric of their existence in Tyria.

In order to progress in the game, players need to have adequate Guild Wars 2 Gold, the main currency used in the game, at all time. There are several ways to earn GW2 gold as follows such as slaying monsters, accomplishing quests and trading with other players. Once Gold is obtained, players can use them to purchase items from NPC vendors, trade with other players, repair damaged armor and so forth. The trading post is a fundamental part of the game's economy and market. As such, the game developers created a market as close to the free market model as possible by adjusting the supply and demand of items for a non-vendor based price equilibrium. The secondary currency used in Guild Wars 2 is Karma. Karma can't be traded and is used primarily for players to buy the higher-end items from NPCs. Karma can be earned by joining game activities and events.

However, gathering Guild Wars 2 Gold is time consuming, thus the currency is readily made available by many gold sellers. Besides this influence on the market, the game's economy is not flawless and has faced exploits that threatens a hyper-inflated economy.
