Guild Wars 2

I was thinking the other day, since this is a very social game, of implementing something like “friend levels” between people based on how much they party/do together. Make it like a 1-10 level system and based on levels between people certain perks can be unlocked. Like at level 5 instead of needing the teleport to friend stone, you can teleport to them like once every x minutes. Then at the highest level let the two who have, let’s say level 10 “friend level”, be able to trade account bound things between eachother, like ascended stuff. It would encourage people to play with eachother and it would make being in a guild feel more like the guild can help you more so than just being in the guild, maybe doing stuff every so often, and getting nothing but personal chest and item drops. I feel like it would encourage people to make new friends while also giving people who play together a lot be able to help their friend with gearing their toon to the max. Especially with the upcoming raids being focused around ascended armour I feel like it would be just a cool little thing for people to do as well as bring people together a little bit more. It would also be a little easier to track RMT since people who play together a lot since they sometimes get caught by the RMT catcher system. You’d just check their friend level and you could see that it was between friends and not a gold seller. I don’t know, just a cool little thought, as well as something I saw in Tera that was really cool.

Hmm, I think this has potential.
If not being able to trade ascended gear is possible then maybe the ability to trade the crafting materials? I know I have an abundance of account bound mats that I would gladly offer to someone that has maybe not been playing for as long as I or been focusing on other stuff in game.

Anything that promotes helping out others is a welcome addition. =)

Like, anything account bound at a friend level high enough, maybe at like, 6 make it little things, 8 make it boosters and some bigger things, and then at 10 make it ascended gear and ticket scraps and such? Like make it progressive in what you can trade between friends so it isn’t just like “Ugh, when am I gonna get to 10 already GOSH”

And if ascended gear isn’t possible, make some of the weapon stuff to make it tradeable at that high a friend level, out of convenience and such.

Oh yeah, boosters would be a good thing to give away to a friend in need. =)
