Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

Before i actually give the input about the topic:
I’m actually making this forum post, as one of my guildies made one and it magicly dissapeared without any notice towards him.
So if this one is going to be removed, which i see no reason for, please let me know by sending me a message.

On Topic:
This game, is in the end all about getting nice skins for your weapons. As stats don’t matter anymore at a certain point (exotic level 80, you don’t go higher than that), you will only work for cosmetics. Of course I am not talking about the possibility of upcoming ascended weapons, and I am also not talking about the armor or ascended accessories there are atm.

Why is it so, that if you work weeks for a certain skin, you are only allowed to use it on one character,after you have equipped it?
I mean, i at the moment have 7 characters, now i’m not saying that everyone will have that many high levels, but i do think that most people that play the game regularly will have 2+ level 80 characters.
And I also think that I am not the only one who likes spending time on multiple characters, instead of spending my playtime on one character all the time.

Do mind, i’m talking about the real high end skins, as examples i’d use the legendary weapons, foefire’s essence, vision of the mists etc.

I don’t mind that I need to buy level 80 exotics for each character i make, I don’t mind spending a few gold on getting those weapons i need. But i do mind, that i’d have to work hours and hours and hours, and not be able to enjoy a skin on multiple characters.

What are your thoughts on this?

I personally totally agree.
My own feelings are a bit stronger, namely that exotics and up should be account bound instead of soulbound, for the reasons you describe. ( I don’t see why if I decide to respec someone after getting them all exotics, I can’t just get them a new set and save the old set for another character, I still put all the time and money into the set [and am about to do it a second time]. The alternative is to put the money to get that other toon his gear, which means I don’t have the money needed to get the new gear for the one I want to respec, which means he’s stuck with what he’s got, and by extension in the build he’s in. Hey, not all of us can throw money around like it’s water)
