Guild Wars 2

At the moment we have bloodstone dust, empyreal fragments and dragonite ore.
Ofcourse we can craft our weapons, gear with it and some are needed for a backpiece (ascended)

My question is this:

These materials that drop often, are there more future plans for?
as in my case i have 40 stack bloodstone dust 32 stacks empyreal and 10 stacks drag. ore.

Are there future plans so you can waste this on something usefull (buffs) what only need this crafting material? and nothing else…
Or is there a future plan that you can sell this on BLTP?

Because there are a lot of players that need 1 of these materials and the last option would be a nice way to give other players a possibilty to aquire it.

I doubt they will make them tradeable, forget about that option.
You can already craft buffs with Bloodstone dust (toxic nourishments) but you will never see a recipe that only uses that material.
Those materials were introduced to slow down individual crafting of ascended gear (because you cna buy damask, deldrimor etc on tp already).
If you dont need them, destroy them, its as simple as that.
If they would make them tradeable or an ingredient in another recipe, their value will be 1 copper because so many people have a surplus of it. If you want to waste an inventory slot for a stack of those that basically has a value of 2.5s, go ahead.

The buffs you have now are to hard to aquire for a minimum extra + you need other mats to that are hard to come by or expensive on tp.
So that it is even not worth to consider to make.

If what you say is true, that they not ganna make this items tradeable, would it not be great if it is given a value to it so that you can atleast sell it to an merchant? Because Anet introduces also spike and other gray items that are useless, but that you can sell at least.

No, they shouldnt add vendor value to ascended mats because those items were never intended to be loot but a way to force players to complete certain content in order to craft ascended gear. You might have the impression that you should get something in return for all those ascended mats you obtained but its value solely lies in crafting ascend gear /with the exception of the toxic nourishments). Arenanet has to consider the global impact that a chance to value of those mats would have. Even if the vendor value would be 1 copper, there are so many players like you that have thousands of those mats bunkered that those copper values would add up to hundreds of thousands of gold that would be added to the economy instantly. You personally might profit from that on a small scale but it would harm the economy in a general way more because of hyperinflation of the value of gold.

Trash your stacks if you dont intend to craft ascended gear, store some other stuff instead.

Well, those things are annoying and pointless.. only a handful of unbelievable rich dudes are time gated by these ascended materials, everyone else is more limited by ectos..

Give them some meaning or remove them, they were a horrible idea in the first place..

@ Wanze
maybe you’re right but like I said b4 what about gray trophies that’s worth 1 copper or 16?
Don’t see the hyper inflation there, yet thousands of peeps getting on daily base maybe 40s of those useless things?
This ascended material is only for throwing away, you must admit that this was not the intention of A-Net? I just hope that they find a sollution to it to make it more usable like other tier materials, if not give it a value so that it does’nt have to be delete by players.

@ GreenAlien,

They are not pointless, but fact is that, there are way to few things, you can do something usefull with it.
Ascended gear is nice but the quantity / demand is out of balance.

The difference between asc mats and trophies is that trophies arent used in ascended recipes, simple as that…

Good point, but still with this my question isn’t answered.
Hope that maybe a Dev can rectify this question? Maybe a small hint for the upcomming future?
