I guess the Deldrimor Dwarves have a monopoly on alcohol on Tyria. The price of Dwarven Ale is outrageous. Two hundred gold for a beer?! Buying a round for your team sets you back 1,400g, which is probably more than what you earn on the mission.

I think ANet should lower the price of the ale or introduce a cheaper types of drink (Kryrona beer?). Maybe something in the range of ~50g.

Well you can get hunter's ales for free in Pre Searing, just stock up on those for later if you can, that'd be the best way, they produce the same effect I think.

Ale is a gold sink. It's supposed to take money out of the hands of players. There is no reason for you to ever by Ale, apart from wasting money.

well we could say a net doesnt want to encourage drinking in real life there for the high price then again money sink is also a good explanation

Calm down man, the dwarven ale is one of the finest Tyria could ever produce, AND they break even with the 200g they sell it. Anything lower than that and they will reduce the quality to "American Beer", Also known as "Near frozen dolyak urine"

I know it's a gold sink. I didn't mind the high price until ANet introduced the concept of keys. Now I'm running around well stock with ale but can't open chests.

The ale is a good social device. After a beating a tough mission I like to hand teammates a virtual drink, as a token of appreciation.

ale is a gold sink. and besides they already reset it at 200. a month or so ago the price was at 1k ea. would you rather have that. no ones ever happy. bitching about 1k per ale was understandable, but 200, come on.

With the introduction of keys and the new pricing system of skill trainers, there are more outlet for gold. They should really lower the price. Even 100g is acceptable. At least I won't be out more than a platinum after buying a round.
