Guild Wars 2

IDK why the wallet came about, I really dont care too much for it, but would not mind it IF Our bank still allowed me to BANK my gold. The reason I bank gold is specifically to avoid spending it without a warning that_ it is being pulled from the bank. Which is all to easy to do in this game if I get carried away exploring or crafting or just about anything I eat up hundreds in gold in map travel alone. (its too easy to waste if its always on my character)

The wallet concept is well and good account wide and all, but please allow us this feature that is a much desired. even if that means I have to pay for it with gems so be it, I have all the account wide options bought already for my bank, this simple and basic feature would just be one more. PLEASE return to us the ability to DEPOSIT our gold into our banks. Its still there in the guild bank so IDK what the problem was with us having this basic feature, unless its to force us to have our accounts drained of game gold.

The developers said that the way they implemented the Wallet made it impossible to keep the ability to deposit money into the bank.

Example, When I make a new character, I give it an allowance of currency to waste on lowbe garbage just to get going. I dont want to over spend on a low level toon, but its helpful to get the ball rolling on adventuring and looking half way good. Also getting started on crafting for that character. but once that allowance is done I’m done with him till its time to earn some from them. If I find they are not earning much at all as with mesmers, well then I call it a loss and stop playing it so as to move on. This new account wide bit is just annoying that I can not store my gold so I dont spend it. litterally the only reason I can see that you did this is to eliminate gold and make us waste it thorugh basic crap that you overcharge for on high level characters like Map travel for one. Or armor repairs… all wasted money that now WE as players have no protection or significant warning that we are overspending while playing.

We can still deposit into guild banks so that rediculous. So basically they are telling all of us to just make new guilds with 1 player in it just to bank our gold? thats insane.

Not everyone. Not everyone cares about how much each character earns for them, like they are some sort of laborer for us and we fire them if they aren’t productive. The majority of people are playing their characters just for fun.

If that’s how you want to play the game then figure out which one or two is your most productive professions and only play them. Use the rest as mules. Problem solved.

Step 1: Convert desired amount of gold into assets from the TP anything with a relatively stable value.
Step 2: Store your assets in your bank
Step 3: If you need to withdraw money from your bank, put them back on TP and retrieve you gold.
Step 4: Profit (literally!)

YES YES I know I can convert Gold into gems… and as to trade post I dont have any desire to EVER use the trade post for ANYTHING. I use NPCs as much as possible to deal with acquiring goods for whatever. I know the bully community is always our opinion is the only one that matters, I’m nothing, go kitten off and die looser, what I may want is of no concern to anyone attitude. The point is WHY was this needlessly done to users. There was no problem the way it was, and there is no reason it should not be returned when we already have the ability with guilds to do the very function I am asking about. The only reason I can see is to make it easier to find some way to get the game to waste account gold reserves instead of allowing players to save it for future investments. I dont trust this game publisher at all. Arenanet was once very trust worthy but NCSoft has NEVER been. And I smell their corruption and greed behind this. As a way to social engineer their customers into not saving game currency for any reason. Personally the only option can see atm that is FEASIBLE is to leave my guild and make a new one for myself, and then use that for legitimate bank storage of currency. Is that really what they want? thousands of single player guilds? Why not just return the fundamental functionality of account banks and give us an option to BANK our currency to be protected from being to easily wasted.

I’m sorry you’re so upset. Honestly adding the wallet made it so i didn’t have to make two of my characters go to the bank if i wanted to gear a lowbee (one to deposit, one to withdrawal), and also freed up space occupied by thousands of cof tokens.

I mean, i get the draw of finding a seldom played character with more gold than you remember on it, but that’s like saying you prefer to keep your cash in several different pairs of jeans instead of a piggy bank.
