Guild Wars 2

I strongly believe that the following options would not break or destroy the economy.

- Having just armor only being account bound
- Having only jewellery being account bound
- Having weapons being account bound

At the current moment none of these exist. However at the very least if one was implemented temporarily we could observe the effects it may have on the GW2 economy and decide from there as to whether or not to keep this.

As character builds change with each update, items that cost upwards of 20-250 gold become instantly sub-par with another build. This makes the game tremendously less enjoyable for players who create upwards of five characters and invest hundreds of hours of play-time only to realize that it was all for naught.

Account bound items would atleast allow the incentive for new character creation and experimentation. Once again, I am not asking for the items to be allowed into the trading post or be able to send it to another player. Just account bound so our characters can have the freedom to be experimental with new builds as ArenaNet is trying to already encourage.

Thank you.

You have the freedom to experiment with new builds in the heart of the mists. Once you’re ready, you can port it to dungeons, pve, wvw, or anything that tickles your fancy. Spoonfeeding players isn’t quite the way to build diversity, though.

You missed the point of what I am trying to convey.

Firstly, experimenting in the heart of the mists does not constitute towards an accurate representation of World vs World or PvE, therefore the builds you use there will not be nearly as accurate.

Secondly, the builds you create are only as temporary as arena net’s fixes, updates, balances and new implementations. Thus anything you worked tirelessly for has an unknown period of utility.

Thank you for trying to answer my question but I would like a moderator or someone from Arenanet to actually tell us why this implementation would be negatively realized within the GW2 world.

because that would reduce the game economy even more than it already is. the economy in gw2 is more like a monarchy or a communist. anet took away the rich ori vein in southsun, so no one goes there anymore and the price in ori rose. putting it there in the first place lowered the price. anet is king essentially. and god. lol. which makes sense since they are the creators of this universe and they are the lifeforce of the game. we are the blood haha. ok, enough going on a tangent. every item on the TP is meant to drive the economy. Take something away, and you change the economy. good or bad, it just reduces player freedom. go save up coin, or go get karma temple gear.
