Guild Wars 2

Please make gold a universal resource for all characters. Gems are already that way.

I don’t know if anyone else finds it frustrating, but I have a couple of alts that are constantly broke because of waypointing and the like – thus having to go to lions arch or the nearest bank in order to withdraw gold to keep playing.

I have a main that I use for TP related activities, so I keep most all of my funds on that character. It seems kinda silly to me that I can’t simply tap into account-wide resources from each character without needing to deposit/withdraw. I’m sure others find this annoying and the additional steps unnecessary as well.

Store at least some of your gold in your account vault — when you waypoint without the required cash in your inventory, the cash will be taken from your account vault anyway; no banking needed.

Or at least I’m pretty sure it works this way.

I was glad when Diablo III went that way.

I now find very annoying having to cycle through several characters when I need to scrap some gold for one of them to buy something expensive and what I had stored wasn’t enough.

Having all the gold in one place also decreases inflation, as seeing being numbers in your wallet promotes spending.

The only downside is that people who wants to save on each character so they pay for their own stuff or people who share accounts have it harder.

I kinda agree to this.
If anet wanted us to have separate characters, the should have made separate banks as well. But what we have now is like a half measure.

I didn’t know this. That’s nice to hear if it works that way.

i would really like his too. the whole bank deposit/withdrawal system is ok, but a simple global wallet would be ideal. for me at least.

Personally, and this is just my opinion, i like having my coin separate for each character. If it was a global wallet, i’d feel that the coin i would be getting on my alts would be a lot of effort for not enough gold. Also, it would make buying things really easy with my alts, and i want to have that visual distinction between my characters.

Im not saying it’s a bad idea, it’s a good one, im not personally for it but i wont stop people from asking for it either.

I somewhat agree, but not completely. They’re already givings us the ability to dump collectibles from anywhere.

I would instead ask for the right to send yourself one email per day with gold (only) in it. Not silver or copper, just gold. This would prevent abuses, but still allow for a little flexibility in the hinterlands.

The other possibility would be to have a random drop of bank items (like the free one you got with each toon).
