Guild Wars 2

Crafting should truly be optional but it really isn’t if you want ascended gear. In theory, there are other ways to get this gear, but it is so bloody difficult and random as to be an ineffective alternative. I think we all know that to be true.

Crafted ascended weapons should be saleable, tradable etc. In fact, you should be able to sell or trade anything you craft.

Like most other MMOs, a guild would have one or two players create the items for the guild versus forcing each player to do their own “dirty work” crafting.

If you enjoy it, do it. If you don’t, buy it or get it from the guild crafter.

Sellable ascended gear has been asked for so many times it’s not even funny. And it’ll be expensive too, considering insignias are going for around 40 gold, so expect around 130 gold per piece of armor. IMO ascended mats have been introduced slowly enough now, so bump the refine limit to 3 a day (and in a month remove timegating completely) and make armor tradeable. It shouldn’t shock the market too much IMO.

As an exotic armor crafter who made lots of gold, I really wish I could craft Ascended gear and sell it to those who don’t want to craft.

Wouldn’t that be amazing? I made profit getting to 500 and laughed at all my guildies who were complaining about how expensive it was.

Yeah they should make all craftables bind on equip and they should remove all the time gates on them. It would make things easier for everyone. New players would have less hurdles to jump. Veterans could make some money with all the mats they have saved up that are just collecting dust. It would be the kind of move that anet could do to please almost everyone.

unless they make the vision crystal a requirement to be used after having a completed weapon, i am firmly against it.
also vision crystals should not require crafting of a high level to make.

however i guess they decided long ago to try to get everyone to craft.

I’d be fine with keeping ascended gear account bound if only we could buy/sell the kitten materials.

Crystalline or incandescent?
