Guild Wars 2

We have soul/account bound items, but what if we would have guild bound items? I think that would add some value to guild banks.

Let’s say, guild bound items:
1) Are only rare and exotic quality.
2) Can not be used in mystic forge and can not be salvaged.
3) Have a very low drop rate (5-10 times rarer than regular rares and exotics respectively).
4) Have no runes/sigils in them.
5) Are soul bound on use.
6) Will be bound to currently represented guild. If player is not in a guild, he still can use these items.

What do you think?

And if a player is not in a guild then what? They become garbage that was added to the loot table? Plus for players in multiple guilds how does it work when it drops? Is it bound to the guild they are representing at the time?

What use are they? What do these items do?

I’ll edit OP with answers.

And also, about “garbage” items. We already have a lot of ascended crafting materials and if player is not going to craft ascended gear those items are just a garbage too. There are a lot of people which just destroy ascended crafting materials on sight. Yes, if you have better gear and are not going to use guild bounded one and also are not in a guild, then it’ll be garbage.

I understand the idea, but I don’t know what Item you would want to be Guild Items. I’d make the argument that certain items shouldn’t be account bound. Like the Boosters, or Armor Repair Cans and such. Idk, but yeah, be specific.

I’m in favor of fewer restrictive items generally. Account-binding makes sense to restrict supply or to reward players for participation or being veterans. Soul-binding makes a little less sense, but does help ensure that there’s a decent economic demand for high-supply items.

What problem are you trying to solve by introducing a third type of binding? I see it as adding to clutter, complicating the sharing of loot, and as JT suggests above, complicating the drop tables in undesirable ways.

Right now, it’s easy enough to support guildies by asking them what sort of gear they want and helping them acquire it (either through giving them fish or teaching them to fish).

So you want to add more garbage items to the loot table?

Also I saw your edit to the OP

So if I rep TTS as one of my guilds to do Teq and I get a guild bound drop as loot it is bound to them even though my main guild that I spend most of my time with is say a good group of friends that do PvE and could maybe benefit from the item. So again it is a useless drop. Yeah that’s not going to work. I get what you are trying to suggest but it just isn’t practical.

Well, one of the problem is that dropped gear is nearly always has random stats. You can’t “help them acquire it” if you’re not going to help them farm tokens in dungeons so they would buy gear with stats they want.

When you are doing something and loot some exotic items, i’m pretty sure the first thing most people think of is “how much profit can i make of it on TP”, not about “i can help some guildie putting this into guild vault”.

It’s all about sharing and it won’t make any problems with “drop tables”.

Only one problem i can think of is that big guilds will get some advantage other small guilds. But. We all know that big guilds already have advantages other small guilds.

You’re trying to force your point. That’s not going to work.

I can remove guild wars 2 from my computer, will it be garbage then?

So if I rep TTS as one of my guilds to do Teq …

Well, it’s not an already implemented thing and we can think about it a lot and suggest some solutions to such problems.

For example the item might be guild bound to all of your current guilds, then what? Stop concentrating on nuances so much.

Remove GW2 from your computer, LOL what? I was just quoting you where you said:

Your very own words.

Look your idea is bad. I’m sorry to break that to you. No one likes the idea of drops being “bound”. Adding more bound items to the loot table that someone may not even be able to use or profit from is a terrible idea.

I just want to know, what item you have in mind want to be guild bound?
Or are you just that lazy type where you don’t do pve,wvw,pvp and only login afk doing only guild mission ?

Okay, then… Where did I say this:

?

I will save your efforts. I didn’t say anything like that and you’re just trying to look right. Sorry, you’re not constructive and I’m going to ignore your future posts.
