Guild Wars 2

Temporary Content is horrible, and this gear should be sellable, you can’t expect someone to master craft on all there toons.

It’s still a bit of a cop out. Those who didn’t/couldn’t participate in the event basically get screwed out of a resource that will likely have a dramatic price increase after the permanent quartz node becomes the only source.

It really doesn’t make sense that it’s account bound. Did they do it that way because of the charged crystal being account bound? If so, why are legendaries sellable. Or are they going to change how gear is obtained in the future to make it all time gated, since that was a problem at launch and the reason for ascended gear.

Truthfully, I don’t see celestial stats sky rocketing after Zs leaves. Most people are going to do the content, the few that missed it, can buy the recipes off the tp and buy the quartz. Quartz, can be farmed when zs leaves, just not in large quantities. Also celestial isn’t the most attractive stat so the large supply that will accumulate throughout this event will last a long time and then more will trickle in afterwards. It won’t be dirt cheap, but it won’t be out of reach.

This made a lot of sense because look at the past temporary nodes. There were a ton, and it was farmed mad. Then it went away, and no one really uses it as much (soo many listings) Now it won’t constantly be coming in huge supply but it will be possible to collect still. Supply won’t ever go out, it won’t go in crazy high listings unless everyone in the game is after celestial stats, I like it. Can’t call it temporary anymore, just wish the scrap aquired skins would stick around for a long time… I want that wind catcher
