Guild Wars 2

When originally actiavting the golem banker- there was no description or information that stated the item had a limited 5 day usage. In which after 5 days, it would become worthless or if there was some possible way to recharge the item.

Had I known it had a limited duration- I would of saved the item and not tested out any of the items that I paid for.

This item should not have a duration and items purchased via gem store with an expiration time should have a confirmation message to ensure the user wants to activate it.

People should be compensated with any additional golem banker or be able to recharge the golem due to the falter of mechanics and lack of information provided.

P.S.- it’s not on the forums or the website stating this is a limited use item too.

You get a new one for each character you make. Each has a separate cooldown I assume?

I am actually curious about that, I haven’t tested activating any of it.

However, the Golem Bankers are character-locked. Only the character that it was emailed to can use it. If you put it in your account-bank, your other characters can see it but are not able to retrieve it.

Maybe there should be another tooltip line in this case saying “Character-bound” or “Character-locked” but that’s trivial, not that important.

So anyway, I’m curious if the expiration is character-based or account-wide, anyone who tried it yet?

Just expires per character- as for the website- I don’t remember seeing a tool tip during the headstart period. I am not 100% sure.

Not sure why it’s not a permanent item anyways. Should be, but oh well.

Not permanent because they’re selling the same ability in the gem shop. That’s my guess at least.

I can tell you that there definitely was and still is a tooltip about the Golem banker being a 5-day item on buy.guildwars2.com. Additionally, it also tells you that the Chalice of Glory and the Tome of Influence are one-time use items as well.

I remember because I looked at them before purchasing a Collector’s Edition. It also says so over at amazon.com for the Collector’s Edition description.

They definitely had the information available. Unfortunately, you didn’t see (or perhaps read) it.

Why is this posted under forum and website bugs? Clearly the OP cant read because he missed the tooltip and now hes posting under the wrong subforum.
