Guild Wars 2

I have a concern with guesting and the rich ori node in Southsun Cove. Let’s say that you have 4 level 80 characters that you farm the rich ori node with. Let’s say on average you get 18 ori from the rich ori node. That is 72 ori. Then let’s say you guest to 2 other servers and do it all again. That is 216 ori.

I think the ideal solution would be to transfer your harvest status between servers. Not sure if that is what currently will happen. I’m also not sure if it is possible. But this would prevent abusing gathering between servers with guesting.

If that’s not possible then perhaps we can set it so that the rich ori node only gives 1 ori per strike instead of the usual 2 ori per strike. This would reduce the overall ori in circulation and reduce the effect of an ori surge when the guesting goes active.

Problem with reducing the number of ore per hit is that its punishing everyone, not just the people who are going to try and abuse guesting. And punishing normal players for something that semi-exploiters are going to do is never a good thing.

Like you said, much better solution is to somehow transfer harvest data.

More ori in the economy lower the price of ori and the price of all things made with it, not seeing a problem here.

This is from someone that cranks out a few heavy armor sets every so often for profit.

This isn’t a problem, when I changed servers, all the ore I had mined on the previous server hadn’t reset on the new server.

I see no problem with this.

It would increase the supply and reduce the price.

It’s up to ANet to decide if they want people to be able to farm 3x as much of any node as they can now. I suspect that they have already dealt with this, as any nodes (including node farms and rich mines) are either on a 24-hr reset or reset with the dailies.

Got to agree with Dream, I don’t see a big issue with this (besides the obvious, wah wah other people are getting more ori than me)

Think about it, even if you guest on another server, you still have to fight the Champ Karka to get it. There’s nothing stopping anyone from doing that.

I personally feel like they’ll have addressed this somehow, but that’s kind of complicated. A lot of the ways they could stop people from hopping servers to gather mats also prevents people who are just there to play with a friend from harvesting mats, and if the guest is always getting the short end of the stick people aren’t going to want to be the guest in the party.

Also, what about big events, like the claw of jormag fight? The servers are all on different timers, so theoretically you could fight him 3x as often, should you not get rewards from chests while guesting either? That’s crazy, the rewards from that chest (most chests really) are worthless enough as it is.

Scribe, if you have stability and a snare, you don’t have to fight the champ. The leash is short on it.
