Guild Wars 2

I’ve heard about people making a new character and doing zone 1 to get 2 baubles, and then deleting the character and making a new one to repeat the process over and over. Basically this allows you to avoid the 2 bauble per character limit, since there is no account limit. I’ve seen posts by people in this forum that are doing it, but to me it seems really close to be an exploit.

Is this considered and exploit by arenanet or just a clever use of game mechanics? Has anyone seen arenanet post about this specifically?

Does it matter,it’s not like the skins are ace or out and they are account bound anyway.
So it does not effect anyone.

I would use my alts if i could be bothered,but like i said you can only get account bound skins doing it and even then 50 baubles and 1 gold for the skin.
I suppose there just doing it to get the skin faster so they can carry on doing orr or wvw.

Not about this topic, but if it is comparable to the black lion key thing then it is not an exploit. They said creating new characters to get the keys (fast) is fine with them.
So unless we hear another statement from them, we can assume it also will be the same for the baubles?
Who knows..

I doubt it will get closed as an exploit unless Anet wants people to stop playing SAB. All the skins are account bound, except for the really rare drops from the chest.

It takes some time to make a character, go through intro, get to the box and do a zone.

Doing it on existing alts (a lot of us have 8 characters) is much faster since you don’t have to do the intro/character creation stuff. Honestly, I don’t understand why the account-bound skins are so tedious to get. It should be about fun, not grinding the same zones over and over.

really? truly lolworthy

the box has been out for 1/30 days and you complain about a grind because you can’t get them any faster?

please be reasonable

u gotta remember that the SAB isn’t finished yet. From the look of the world selection map there’s going to be 4 worlds assuming 3 worlds a piece means you would get 24 bauble babules once u finish the whole thing. Assuming of course you still only get 2 per chest. If they added in a bonus for completing the whole thing you could be looking at one skin per complete run through. My point being, that the rewards are most likely being balanced around a finished product rather then 1/4th of the dungeon we currently have.
