Guild Wars 2

1.Gathering Tools
Very simple request, really. I would like to see the Chop-It-All Logging Axe, Consortium Harvesting Sickle, and Molten Alliance Mining Pick changed to ACCOUNT BOUND like the Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic. I have bought all 3 for one character, but will not for the other seven I have. It’s just a huge inconvenience to spend $30 USD for a convenience item that becomes very inconvenient due to being bound to one character. This inconvenience wasn’t readily recognizable until my warrior lost status as Main. Now, I have a shelved character that has these items that aren’t being used. Therefore, for me the item has become useless. This now gives me a feeling of losing money in the deal. The reason is that this product that I thought was a good buy, but for the price of real money I discovered that it wasn’t. This is solely due to it being bound to this ONE character. Until the change from soul bound to account bound occurs, my purchasing anything from the gem store using real currency is very unlikely. However, changing these items to account bound greatly increases the value of these items, as well as the buyer feeling as if they have truly gotten $30 USD worth of items (permanent content opposed to not). Please consider this.

2. Armor/Weapon Skins
Make them permanent and reusable like the Zenith Skins. I would seriously consider purchasing ALL armor skins (even the ugly/silly ones) just because they would be permanent and reusable.

3. Town Clothes
Craftable – Allow players an entire new line of crafting just for town clothes.
Speed Buff – Give a permanent speed buff in (ONLY) cities while wearing town clothes. Keep speed buff vendors in cities for those that choose NOT to wear town clothes.

4. Sales
Never have non-seasonal items removed from the gem store. Only list limited-time items that associate with a specific time of year (in the real world) such as Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, etc… People cannot buy items from the Gem Store if the Gem store doesn’t have the item (great logic there, I know). Instead of removing items from the Gem Store, have randomly-dated sales instead. Better yet, have package deals, i.e. all 3 gathering tools (account bound) for $20 bucks. You might just have people spending that money just so they don’t HAVE to switch gathering tools from character to character. Many people will pay good money for convenience.

These are just a few suggestions I have. These are my personal preferences, but also I have friends that play that seem to lean toward these as well. I’ve also spoken in-game to others that seem to agree with some/most of these suggestions. I hope you take the time to consider these suggestions that could potentially have a positive affect on the current state of the game.

My apologies if some/all of these have been mentioned in others posts. The search feature of the the forums is very lackluster and doesn’t seem to work very well.

Thank you, and God bless.

I like the 1st suggestion.

Regarding the first suggestion, if you didn’t like the fact they are Soulbound, why did you buy all 3? You should have learned your lesson after the first.

There are people who WILL buy them for multiple characters – both my Warrior and Mesmer have a set. There are people who will buy for all 8 professions, and some who will buy even more than that.

It would be a huge monetary loss for NCSoft to order AN to make them account bound.

EDIT: Another thought. If these tools were account bound, it would be incredibly inconvenient to have to constantly transfer them from character to character. If you bought them for convenience rather than a long term investment, you kinda can’t complain that they aren’t account bound because of the above point.

That would be a reason people that have money would buy more then 1….. If you are cheap then you will buy one (or none because you are cheap). Then the people with money in RL will buy a set from multiple toons anyways.

1 and 2 is exactly why I will never spend real money on gems. Nothing to do with being cheap as YellowFrighten would arrogantly like to suggest, but I have real life commitments and if I’m spending money, I expect something tangible or worthwhile in return.

3 I fully agree with. We need the ability to craft (or buy with in-game currency, not gems) the same town clothing the NPCs already wear.

Not really. Those are ok.

I’m up to that, really almost noone buys more than 1 set anyway.

I like it a lot!

Some good ideas in here.
