I believe the current system is meant to stave off gold farmers, and preserve the games economy, by making it incredibly hard to make any real world cash off of in game items or gold.
Because you can’t just hand someone else items, or 1 million gold, the economy and auction house sells for reasonable prices… with the exception of Legendary items, which take astronomical time, materials, and skill to craft.
I’d much rather have a world with a working economy, and minimal gold farmer spam, than be able to hand my friend a new set of armor I crafted. The auction house offers everything you could need, at very reasonable prices.
still if u are a crafter and u can help a friend isn’t that in the spirit of GW2 players helping players. its not about money its about helping each other
