Guild Wars 2

We know karma is going to be account bount, but what about gold?

I’m not sure having it account bound is a good idea, anyway.

Isn’t it account bound already in a sense?

Any character can deposit their gold into the bank to be withdrawn by any other character on the same account. This just seems to cut out all the faffing.

Each character having his gold and being able to store gold in the bank help you organize your economy and your expenses. Also, it’s easier to control if you’re losing/gaining money with a single character. Being able to put money in the bank so you don’t spend it is good, too.

Separated is more organized.

I think the solution for this should (if it isn’t already) be keeping the ability to store money in your bank as a sort of savings account. So you’ll have your overall gold that will be stored in your account wallet, but you’ll be able to store what you choose into your bank if you’re worried about spending it all on accident.

I’m the kind of guy who always keeps set amounts of money on each of his characters (2g, usually) because I don’t want to tempt myself with spending all of my hard-earned gold on an impulse. I think if they keep the functionality of the bank so that we can store money that won’t be automatically drawn from upon purchasing something, this will solve everyone’s problems.

It is account bound right now,soooo…I don’t know whats the problem

The problem is they are eliminating a storage method for X amount of gold from total.

To answer a few of the questions:

• Pristine Fractal Relics are not included. I am not a designer so I cannot accurately comment on why they are not included.
• At this point the wallet supports core currencies, not seasonal/festival/temporary currencies. At this time we have no plans to add those to the wallet.
• Jugs of Karma will remain an item and can be used as usual. The karma you gain from them will then be stored in the wallet and will be accountwide.

And the gold collecting achievement, is it still possible?

Yes, the “Golden” title can still be acquired, simply by having 200g, since depositing coins into the bank is no longer possible.

Ah, this totally refutes my idea above. kitten , I really hope they reconsider adding the bank gold storage back in the game before they implement it, that would be the best of both worlds!

Wait…I won’t be able to store gold anymore!? ARE YOU MAD ANET!? I leave my gold in the bank so I’m not tempted to use it until I’ve saved up for what I want! Why do this to me Anet, WHY!?

And how this effects their mail system needs to be included…I do not like the idea that the only way to buy something, if we are no longer able to withdraw money or seperate it, is to go through the BLTC. We then cannot ever send money to a friend, buy something from a guildmate or party member, or trade through our own mail. We will be forced to pay the BLTC taxes on all transactions in game that are not at a vendor.

Also, no one has brought up what and how this will effect gold stored in a guild bank.

What the hell? Gold isn’t accountbound nor will it ever be.

I would imagine sending money through the mail would still be perfectly possible, it would just remove it directly from your account wallet.

That’s pretty much how it works right now anyway. There’s never any “physical” representation of money placed in an inventory slot that you drag and drop. Its always held in a separate counter, and you just type how much money you want to send into the email interface. There shouldn’t be any change with the new wallet other than the fact that it’ll take it from your account as a whole rather than one specific character.

Guild bank will probably be the same, I’d think. I’d imagine the interface for the guild bank is pretty much the same as email / personal bank, in which you just type an amount and the money is deducted from your character’s money. Just account and not character, now.

Gold will become account bound: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/jubilee/Token-Wallet-Thank-you-a-net/page/3#post2522636

It’s becoming exactly account bound so read an update before posting like this

One can only hope…

The Guild Bank issue still needs to be addressed.

Xhyros.1340:

gold being account bound would mean that you’re not able to trade gold to other accounts, which we will still be able to do(mail)…

so your statement is 100% wrong… you should follow your own advice, read(and comprehend) before posting.
