Guild Wars 2

… the following things:
- Bank tabs
- Never-breaking gathering tools
- Inventory spaces
- Character slots

HOWEVER!
I am thinking of ONLY buying gems for:
- Bank tabs
- Character slots

Reason? Character slots are just that, an extra character. I like trying out every profession and, besides Ranger and Warrior, they all appeal to me in some major way (Necromancer with its minions, Engineer has turrets, Thief has his random kitten, etc…)

But the thing is, Inventory slots are on one character alone, and so are the gathering tools.

I am NOT paying so much money on gathering tools and inventory spaces if its only for 1 of my many characters that I like playing on.

Does anyone else feel this way? Does anyone else think buying invy space and tools is justified if all ’toons would get them?

Well, all toons can have the tools, you just have to pass them around. Kind of like the neverending passes…..

I do wish all toons got the invy spaces too, since I have old mains with slots and new mains without, but you get what you get, I guess. I think it’s assumed that one would give the most specials to ones main toon.

I think you’re justified in how you feel, even though I didn’t necessarily do it the same way.

Pretty much this. In any place in PvE or WvW you can hop to the PvP lobby and grab/store your tools in the bank there. It’s not a great inconvenience, but I’m sure it’s small enough that some people would have bought more copies of them for more characters.

Eh

alright?

Lots of people agree with you and there have been tons of posts on this (and there will be tons more, I’m sure). Lots of people aren’t bothered by it enough to comment.

Most of the discussion revolves around what the alternatives would be: assuming ANet gets X dollars spent on those things now, how much would they have to charge to get ~X dollars on account-wide unlocks? What would they do for those of us who already own the character-bound versions? Cheaper upgrade? Refund, similar to what they did when Commander went account-bound?

There’s probably no simple way for them to make all of that happen, which is partly why I don’t expect them to comment until/unless they introduce a change to how it works.
