Guild Wars 2

So i am just wondering if the 1g reward for each path in a dungeon per day is account bound or character bound?

Maybe i missed it somewhere or whatever. Either way i would like to know!

plsssssssss make it character bound plsssssssssss

My hope: Chara-bound
My prediction: Account-bound. Because ANet hates altaholics.

I don’t understand what is so bad about account-bound gold? You can use is on your main or your alts. What’s the big deal? o.o

Seriously, can someone explain this to me? I keep seeing it popping up in these forums but I quite honestly don’t get it.

If it’s account-bound, then if I run that same content on an alt I won’t get the larger end reward.

He just asked something completely different: it’s not about gold storage, it’s about gold earning from dungeons

Oooooh, alright. That makes a lot more sense. Though I think the point of that is to get people to branch out and do multiple dungeons (on any of their characters), rather than continuing to run the same single path constantly. It isn’t about punishing alts.

I would still assume character bound, following the dungeon tokens reasoning.
I don’t understand why it’s being said A-net hates alts. In fact the whole token wallet seems to be a push towards alts.

The daily bonus rewards for taking down world bosses (Jormag, Shatterer, etc) are gated once per day. Gearing alts in Ascended gear takes much, much longer as it’s purely time-gated and will take at least one month per additional chara.

The token wallet thing is the first step towards being nice to altaholics, but other recent history has not been so kind to us.

Assuming it’s a special box you get instead of the money added to the pop up screen that has the 60 tokens.

Far easier to link money to the 60 tokens and no money to subsequent lower token counts than go out and make special pop up boxes. They already have the system, just need to tweak it some.

Thus I assume you will get a gold bonus along with your 60 tokens.

Better to be pessimistic prior to seeing the implementation. That way you won’t get disappointed. You’ll either get what you expect or be pleasantly surprised.

A cynical view on things in general.
I’m unaffected either way because I can’t spend my precious time in game on repeating the same old same content. I’ll be pleasantly surprised either way.

I’m just bringing some reasoning to the table as the general assumption seems to be that the community as a whole gets kittened over whenever they change something.

Such as the switch on the unlimited axes, scythes and mining picks from a/c bound to soulbound. It would be nice if the gold% gain would ramp up with each alt slot purchased. Getting alts to lvl 80 is easy but the cost of equipping them with decent gear becomes prohibitive – especially if you’re also more of a solo-ist than a group player and don’t really do dungeons & fractals.

I’m an altaholic too; 12 toons, zero legendaries (like I’m going to grind that lot!). At least they add diversity to the player outfits since there’s usually not enough time to equip all of them with the latest living story back-piece etc. The shared wallet sounds like a much needed show of appreciation for all the alts out there. More like this please Anet (shared wvw blueprint storage maybe?)

Ah yes, the unlimited harvesting tools. Worth it for people who play one chara. Prohibitively expensive for alters. I like the idea, but I can’t afford nine of each. >.<

And yes, the cost of equipping all your alts gets expensive. Very expensive.

Yeah. The shared wallet (finally sharing karma!) is the first real boon to altaholics since the game launched. Hopefully they will continue the trend with the dungeon gold reward, but I’m honestly not holding my breath.

The unlimited tools are barely worth it for one character either.
The only appeal these things might have had to me was account bound. That wasn’t an anti-alt movement, that was just blatant money grabbing.

Nah. They do add value. And for one chara, you’ll probably end up saving in-game monies before too incredibly long. But if you alt it up it becomes financially unviable as it will take far to long to break even on the initial cost.

By current conversion rates you need to use up about 647 orichalcum tools to break even, and that’s per tool. I don’t know how much you harvest, but that takes me a long time.

To put in perspective, if you’d use a a whole orichalcum tool a day, it would take you close to two years to break even.

I hope it will not start in kicking people from teams to allow friens or guildies to take their place.

First, I am also an altaholic (“Hi, Bro!”). Time gating is not to punish altaholics, but to extend the game life in general. The idea that ANet has meetings on how to screw over certain parts of the player base intentionally is just a bit silly.
