That's true, but the people who have that much currency are the more enthusiastic folk, and I don't think rewarding them in this case is inherently bad, specially when they go to stake 0 as soon they spent their current currency on the next day. That's definitely a problem, but I think that fact alone is not enough to pull much weight on the idea of using yet another currency. Besides, it's an account locked feature, so it wouldn't affect other players unfairly.

I'm missing something about your argument I think, you can do exactly that right now with ascended rings if you so choose, it just so happens that they're the only things you can spend pristine fractal relics on no matter how many you do. What's good about people having piles of Pristine Fractal Relics they can't use for anything beneficial?
edit: about the kites

I won't spoil it because i don't know anything i haven't paid attention to season 2 yet lol.
Oh, that's fine. You would take 25 days to get an ascended piece that way, which sounds like a good time for a piece alone.

The Guild Wars 2 twitter retweeted my tweet about that funny full regen warrior being hit by the Ascalonian ghost (https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/494144354190364672)
And now, my Twitter is being flooded by people complaining about "poor balance in PvP", as if the comic proves the full regen warrior has no hard counter.
I don't even...
"I can't 1v1 this full regen warrior by myself, game broken."
It's like people forget PvP is a team game...

I'm making 3 different arguments; they'll sound contradictory if juxtaposed across "what the game is" and "what the game should be."
1a) Yes, it's bad to have a mat (e.g. thick leather) or currency (Pristine Fractal Relics) with no value or a capped value respectively. But the solution to me is not to deus ex machina make what was worthless now redeemable for super valuable rewards.
1b) If this system were to be implemented, the marketing behind it would be to get players excited about running high levels fractals again. But rewarding them for past fractal runs would be counter-productive to that end.
2) This is all presented under the guise of "rewarding high level fractals." I'm merely pointing out that it would be easy to grind ascended armor with midlevel alts. Not really comparable to grinding rings, with their lower value cap.
Bottom-line is you want to be rewarded for the Pristine Fractal Relics you've accumulated. Which is understandable, but not without problems. However Anet already made one concession letting you convert them into ordinary Relics.
I'm assuming Moondrop means farming the first two ranges (1-9 and 11-19), so it would be two Pristine Fractal Relics a day. If he only does 11 though, that's 50 days.
Well, at least I learned this.

"You don't play sPvP exclusively? Then you can't claim to sPVP."
"Having tanks in PvP is why GW2 has shit PvP balance."
"I fight a full regen warrior, then they just run away, and come back with full HP. Shit balance."
I realize the people on Twitter being idiots don't represent the PvP community, but today is making me wish GW2 had no sPvP. What is it about the competitive gametypes/modes that brings out the real Darwin Award Winners of society?

I've been eating pristine fractal relics the moment I got the rings I wanted.
Now all I need is 500 ectoplasm for dat capacitor

yes they don't compact properly but that is a small price to pay
I sympathize with you for inadvertently opening yourself up to that BS, but you see the same general stupidity from PvE folk.
It's funny though there's a lot of talk about so-called "regen warriors," which is funny because they don't actually exist to my knowledge. Sure there are regen banner warriors, but that's a PvE strategy. As far as I understand, these whiny thieves must be losing to warriors simply running at most Healing Signet, Adrenal Health, Dogged March, and Mango Pies in PvP/WvW. That's roughly 630 HP/s, sure, but without healing shouts on top any skilled roamer should be able to overcome that.

Oh, totally. And since there are a million more PvE people than PvP, the ratios are also higher, so you're more likely to come across PVE derps than PVP derps. But in cooperative situations, the derping doesn't quite that have "edge" you get from PvP derps.
You either die a noob, or live long enough to be accused of being a hacker.
So true.
True, there is a "will to dominate" present in those who PvP that becomes particularly toxic when tainted with stupidity. But as a PvPer I don't find the sentiment inherently wrong or distasteful.

Wait, patch is out?
nope
Bottom feeders tend to be the most vocal. Complaining about a regen warrior would be a pretty good indication. All my money on most of them being stealth-abusers.
Update is coming late, no preview videos to watch, Minecraft authentification servers down ... whatamIgonnado ?????
No , seriously it sucks ...
I managed to launch my FTB world before that happened so I'm good.
I want Kos to get Koss on Koss and change his name to Koss so it fits better.
Where's this kites stuff you're on about?
