Please reconsider removing glory vendors

Please, removing glory vendors seems a needlessly punitive thing to do. What purpose does it serve to remove the ability to use your rewards? Is it really that difficult to leave one NPC standing around selling things for glory? Once people stop being able to earn glory, the use of the NPC will drop. At the least, automatically convert unspent glory to some tangible form like gold/reward chests so people are compensated if they didn’t get to a glory vendor by some arbitrarily scheduled date.

You know that there will be many people who have earned glory who don’t pay much attention to upcoming changes and suddenly one day find that they can no longer spend the glory that they have earned. They will not be happy about having their earned rewards taken away from them for no reason.

You know that there will be people who have taken a break from the game who have earned glory and then one day come back, only to find that all their glory is useless. This will not at all encourage them to stick around again, it will make them angry that their hard-earned rewards are being taken away.

Bottom line: glory is an earned currency and if it is being rendered obsolete, it should either still be spendable or be converted automatically to a still-usable form.

I heard the currency is going to be Skyhammer wins. :troll:

We should probably hold of talking about whether or not removing the glory vendors is a good idea until after we release details about what is replacing them.

can you tell when this will happen?

Sorry, I don’t know. This is a game design topic.

Will this info be in the blog you’re currently working on?

No, the blog post is already looking too long. I need to start cutting out details and leaving them for the forum discussion.
