Guild Wars 2

I posted this in another thread, but i guess it’s more of a suggestion.

One thing to me is the Mystic Forge and it’s very centralized use around crafting unique items, it simply takes too much away from crafting professions. When i first heard about the forge, i thought what a great secondary mechanic, but it soon turned to such a primary focus, it became this really horrible thing.

How great would it be to get one random out of 20 different recipes to make say a FoeFires essence type weapon for completing all 4 paths of AC?

How cool would it be that you would only earn this once per account for the achievement?

The materials needed to craft it only came from areas around Ascalon, giving you reason to run around there.

How uniquely rewarding does it become to be a weaponsmith and have the ability to craft something really cool that not many people will get?

There’s a lot of stuff they can do like that, that would make playing the game so much more rewarding and fun.
