Guild Wars 2

Ok, anet!

This needs to be changed ASAP. I think a lot of people here will agree with me.

Miniatures from Black Lion Chest should not be account bound!

We pay real money to buy gems and with those black lion keys, so by getting miniatures that are account bound is totally unfair to the players.

From Miniature Hawk, Raven, Snow owl, Super Monkey, Super Bee Dog, Super Banana, Yeti and Spider ……….

I am personally very disappointed in getting those minis in my Black lion chest and not even being able to sell them.

I have 32 account bound miniatures in my bank that I got from Black Lion Chest, and I deleted few.

For what? What is the reason that you had to put them to be account bound!

What is the purpose of having and getting multiple minis when you can show only one at a time.

Having it account bound is something that turns people down in buying the keys.

Please consider changing it.

Thank you

Apparently nobody cares about this except me!

Wish they could be thrown to mystic forge!

There’s been several threads about this in the past. It’s not so much lack of interest as the ones that are interested have already posted, complained, suggested alternatives….. then the threads slid off the front page and disappeared into the depths without a ripple.

/shrug. I’ve already deleted my duplicate Mini Bee Dog that I should at least had an option to give away if not sell or forge.

I care!

And I completely agree! Posted myself here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Account-bound-minis-from-BLCs/first#post5428553

I have no issue with the account bound..but I’d like the option to forge the black lion, Balthazar and Jennahs.

I agree this is a problem in a number of areas – some aspects of the game can be “completed” but we still received loot, drops, gifts or rewards that have no secondary use.

Here is my list:

1. Maximum Magic Find – what do we do with luck essence after that? It needs another use, if nothing else, let us forge them into ecto or something – even if it’s very inefficient.

2. Full Dye Unlock – (psst – how about a title?) – for my 3rd birthday, I can choose from among the nicest dyes in the game – all of which I have. Hopefully these will be updated with the next dye pack, but there is no guarantee. An alternative selection (a mini?) would have been nice.

3. After opening an obscene number of Trick or Treat bags, I have encountered zero poly-refractors, but did manage to acquire 3 mini-Gwynnefyrdds. Yes, 3. Why is the poly thing sellable but the ghost pup is not?

4. Multiple account bound mini pets and mail carriers from BL chests. Why can’t we forge these or trade them in for something? (other than dye or luck please).

I understand wanting to keep some things exclusive to the BL Chests, but I wish Anet would throw some of their more loyal customers a bone and give us a sink for this stuff that is expensive and basically useless.

Why not a vendor that exchanges the extras for a Hero Booster or transmutation charges?

Augh… this is a pet peeve. Earned in game keys -so much luck and or work- and have outright bought lots of gem-cards and yes- foolishly spent said gems on BL keys.

Only to have to delete so much trash.

Account bound ANYTTHING in these chests Dev’s… (*headshake)…. is… Just so…

I can’t even tell you in words worthy of just how disappointing this is but I will try.

It is insulting- so extraordinary, unfathomable and an utterly unnecessary slap in the face to your players these things are.

Peace out.

PS: Still luv you guys/gals… but this…. HORRIBLE wrongheaded. Awful.

“a slap in the face” count number 3591…. and rising!

Just commenting on this one. The Zephyite swatches are not account bound and you can pick out and sell a dye from those.

I agree completely.

I’d actually go a step further and say all mini pets should be tradable, but I doubt that’s going to happen.

But at least the ones that come from RNG should be tradable. I suspect the only reason they’re not is because they were all originally sold directly through the gem store, and weren’t updated when they were added to the Black Lion Chests.

I also agree that making it possible to put them, and the mini Jennahs and the Risen Priest of Balthazar in the Forge to get different minis would be a good compromise. They’d have to make the Risen Priest a lower tier, or it’d only return exotic minis which would play havoc with the economy, but I doubt anyone would complain since the tier of minis is pretty random anyway.

1. This is a bug
2. It’s crashed this entire segment of the dye market
3. I don’t begrudge others getting Electro Blue and those dyes – I didn’t pay the current prices, but I paid an average of 100g ea (167g for Electro Blue) so to try to cash those dyes in for 10-15g is just troubling.

There are not a lot of people hitting the reward wall right now, but with another 7-12 years of life in the game, it’s going to happen more and more and I would hope Anet would take this into account when they develop their reward strategies.

I have no doubt that luck will, some day, be used for other things, but why not unlock the Legendary luck essence recipe for players who hit max luck? Let us compress our luck into legendary form to save space.

Also, 1/7th of the daily login rewards are now useless to maxed players.

The AP rewards seem to be planned out for years to come, but there are plenty of systems that are, to put it bluntly, broken.

Congratulations! You’re such a loyal and dedicated player, you’ve accomplished so much and been so successful that we felt you would be completely fine with a reduced reward structure going forward. Isn’t that awesome!?

^ That’s kind of how it feels.

Source please that the Zephyite being unbound is a bug. I haven’t seen that yet.

I’m not sure what you are talking about when you refer to electro blue being 10-15 gold. It’s still almost 1000 gold. The other electro dyes are still expensive.
https://www.gw2tp.com/search?name=Electro+
The expensive enameled dyes have gone down, but still expensive.

/shrug that’s the chance people take though when they gamble on expensive dyes. It’s well known that ANet can bring them back at any time and bring the prices down. They are certainly under no obligation to maintain an artificial scarcity of an item they themselves put in the game.

1. They said you get an account bound dye. Those are not account bound so it seems like a bug.

2. What I meant was that you can only get about 10-15 gold by selling a zephyrite dye (Midnight Ice as of this moment) which is arbitrary and trivial compared to getting any special dye in the game.

3. I’m not asking for an Electro Blue dye to sell, I’m asking Anet to rethink their reward program to account for people maxing out parts of the game.

You know what nobody has maxed out? Gold. Karma. Laurels.

The “pick any dye” is so awesome because it allows you a shortcut to something that is otherwise out of reach. It’s an awesome gift, but some players feel like they are being overlooked.

i have to disagree with you . and i hope the mini,s are left where they are and not made to be able to be traded at all .

It makes sense to have some BL exclusive minis as an enticement to buy keys. The problem with not making them at least usable in the forge is that too many one time rewards erodes the incentive to get more keys.

Selling on the TP would kill exclusivity, but what’s the harm in making them usable in the forge?

since you can buy gold with rl money, and buy gems with gold.
it makes no sense that you can’t buy mini’s that was bought with gems, which could be bought with gold -.-

commen logic….

btw: it is not exclusive if every one can buy it with gems which can be bought with gold -.-
if it is buyerble with gems, you might as well let it sell for gold, since some one already shelled out the gems, and you are now * them with making it bound..

you can toss all the mini,s you like in the forge . if that is what you like to do with them but they should not be made able to trade them with other player,s just saying. besides honestly chest,s and key,s and mini,s too are noting more then a waste of time and also slows down the servers with all these kitten mini,s out. #justsaying

The birds and the SAB minis were always account-bound, so they stayed that way. iirc, all the other minipets that drop from chests can be sold and forged.

Birds and SAB minis cant be thrown into forge! They are a total waste. And to be honest, i’ve spent a lot of real money on gems and black lion keys to be able to get something that is a total waste. either they should be tradable to an NPC or be able to be forged.

but having them as account bound with only option to delete them is very bad marketing.

to be honest i don’t want to spend any more money/gems on keys.

Now tell me this is fair. Ive spent hundreds of $$$ on gems and black lion keys.

minis should definitely be able to be sold on the BL Trading Company or forged. i have like… four Jennahs in my bank. i don’t want to delete them because i value minis a lot (i rarely ever got them in GW1 – or 2 for that matter) and while Jennah isn’t that hard to get, i’d still feel bad just throwing her away.

Every time a character reaches thier first Birthday they get a Queen Jenna Mini. When all is said and done I will have 9 Queen Jennas only one of which I can use. The only thing I can do with the others is delete them.

In other words I am deleting my character’s Birthday present. In my opinion that is a slap in the face. Give a Queen Jenna for the first character but why can’t we get a selection for the second thru……whatever?

As for the ones in the Black Lion chests my suggestion would be this. Put mini’s into collections. Have a Destiny’s Edge Collection, a Centaur collection, a Bandit collection, an Inquest collection, you get the picture. Then have the Black Lion chest give us a “Collection” box that we choose which mini of that collection we want.

Either that or make the minis tradeable or Mystic Forgeable.

Anybody else has an input?

Can any off the Anet specialist answer on this??

Either say we will never change it so go ahead and delete those or ok we might change it.
