Guild Wars 2

The number of 8-slot bags are going to pile up the more people get better ones. It’s a waste to throw away a bag, when we just want 2 more slots in it.

I suggest a forge or crafting recipe to increase bag size. Something that, unlike most forge conversion recipes is actually not a worse deal than making a second bag.

8 slot bag + Upgrade Rune = 10 slot bag
8 slot bag + Upgrade Rune + 3 piles of glittering dust = 10 slot invisible bag

Of course it would have to be more complicated than that for different bag sizes. But the >2g it takes for a 18-slot should not be lost when making it into a 20-slot.

Bags are a gold sink and gold sinks are important for stabilizing the economy. Furthermore, donate your old bags to the guild bank, send them to a lowbie friend, or an alt. A lot of people would be glad to have the bags that you don’t want.

A gold sink for certain! Cheapest 20-slot container on TP right now is 11g80s. Maybe I’m just doing it wrong, but I can’t see myself sinking 48g into bags. I’m not sure I’ll ever have that much money!

fotm gives you awesome 20 slot bags for not a lot of work at all.. and other helpful stuff, too.

Then settle for 16 slot bags and then use the gold you would otherwise spend on a bag to buy gems to buy an extra bag slot. You get more slots for cheaper and don’t have to resell, give away, or otherwise get rid of the old bag. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I tried FotM with pickup groups. Once. Not doing that again.

Zero Angel’s tip sounds nice.

pugs on fotm are hit and miss — they do improve as you go up in levels, but expect to have a difficult time on Lvl. <10 just because not everyone knows what to do and people are less dedicated to finishing the fractal competently. If you have a hard time dealing with pugs at all, you’ll have a hard time with them on fractals too. You do need to have some resilience against these kinds of setbacks or fotm will just be frustrating for you.

I expect people to try and get kitten done. That’s expecting way too much in a PUG, as you may know.

What will happen in the world of games if more people like you come with good ideas instead of demand more and more things?

I will be more happy.

It was a good idea up until October. Now our guild bank has smaller bags sitting there. Everyone’s alts are full of them by now. I have bought 2 bag slots.

This suggestion is to make a recipe to upgrade bags to provide a use for the ever heaping pile of smaller bags with no value. It’s also better for the Tyrian environment to reuse bags.
