Guild Wars 2

So I’ve heard that ANET is thinking of having character bound rank, titles, +stats. My question why the hell are they doing that instead of account bound?

Referring from here:
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/7169/Guild-Wars-2-What-Marchs-WvW-Patch-Will-Bring.html

So basically all that time, money and effort that one spends to WvW on different characters will all now be a waste. You want to incentivize people to purchase extra character slots, to buy your gems (convert to gold) so they can gear their alts because they don’t want to grind for their alts and now you are going to punish them for playing those characters.

On top of that, add in profession balancing and if ANET nerfs or breaks your profession what are we supposed to do then? Guess we put all that effort in for nothing.

Maybe I am overreacting, but if anyone has more info that would be great.

Yeah rank titles def would be better off account bound, I agree. We’ll just have to see how things go. I just watched a state of the game video with the developers & got an idea of what they are like. I don’t think like them but IMO they seem like the kind of guys you just have to wait and see what they come up with.

Link to their video (mostly about pvp btw):
