Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to ask if there was a way to get these tools back, I finally got the available money to spend ankitten ow looking to buy Infinite tools, but I can’t see them any where in the Black lion trading post, so I am assuming that they are no longer available. So I wanted some other peoples thoughts on this. Do you think they will be available in the future? Do you think there be other tools such as these out in the future.

Thanks a lot if you took the time to read this. Happy gaming!

I’m guessing they will have similar items in the future. I hope the next one will be the logging axe. I don’t like that they are soulbound on use but I suppose it encourages more sales.

Edit: Your name reminds me of the show Married With Children when Bud Bundy started calling himself Grand Master B

I really wish they would just leave these items in the gem store . I know they want to make money and I’m willing to buy , but they have to give me some time to buy their items .

^this.

There has been way too much temp material in this game. I get that they want to keep this whole “living, breathing, always changing world” vibe going but its incredibly frustrating to constantly miss out on content simply because I’m not playing every single day of the year. Hopefully they’ll bring things, like the infinite gathering materials, back in some way or another.

I don’t see why they don’t just leave them on there either unless it is to encourage people to use RWM instead of waiting to trade gold for gems. I got the pick axe at the end of the sale. The character I put it on has been on the shelf because at the time I was new and wasn’t sure which character I would use much. I’m still not I like the pick axe and would have them on all my alts if I had the opportunity. The sickle is okay, but I decided it I didn’t want it enough for all alts. Plus I have a horrible time seeing the plant nodes on the mini map because I’m color blind so I do very little plant harvesting unless the plant is right in my face.

IMO they should be a permanent item on the gem store AND BE account bound, greed should only go so far, if at all.

Oh I agree I was simply speculating on why they have decided not to do so. I would much rather be able to use the tools across characters.

The infinite gathering tools are so popular that I’d expect them to release them on a regular basis. Expect a new infinite mining pick, with a new animation, later this year.

But I like the current one. I don’t want a pick axe that makes rabbits fly out or something. Change that, yes I would.

They did a redux of the sickle during last weekend’s sale, or maybe it hadn’t been pulled yet. I just remember seeing it. So I’d assume that they’d bring them back on occasion to sell more of them, as well.

Of course, as the stories progress, we might get other skins/animations too.

They can’t remain there permanently.

If they did, it would create the space for more people to accumulate the funds to purchase them via means other than buying gems with real money.

Concurrently it would increase the likelihood that there would be a sale of some kind with these items at some point. Once that happened people would simply wait for future sales to equip their other toons (if they have them) in the future.

Far more profitable to place pressure on people to buy them immediately (hopefully with real money) and at full price. Then to give people the time to accrue funds else where and in their own time, while waiting for a possible bargain.

In any event don’t worry, the infinite items will return and possibly rehashed in some way. Buy all 3 at once! (Yes, I’m assuming the infinite logger is coming).

I suspect they will release the axe next. Then after a month or two bring them all back and sell for a limited time as a package deal. The “limited time offer” marketing technique is tried and true and generates bigger sales because people don’t put off buying it and it drives impulse buys.

That said, I cannot see them never returning. They will return periodically then leave. They may change name or look sometimes, but overall they will be the same item wrapped in a new bow. If I had to guess, they’ll bring them back from Christmas at the latest (for a limited time of course).

Hmm with a frosty theme … I only have the axe and pick on one character but if they start releasing different animations then I’ll probably start getting the other ones for other characters. It’ll only take around a decade to finish off every character …

Yea so many people have said this about alot of their stuff. I’m curious as to how much simply taking the items down costs them.

Axe of lightning! Fells saplings with a single bolt! It would also fit in with the Aetherblades’ theme.

By letting them only be temporary at the store they get more people to buy them in a short amount of time. But I think it is likely they’ll return them somehow in the future… but with other animations and names then.

Doesn’t matter. Every gem spent on a shop item is bought with real money. It may be buyer’s money, or other people’s money, but they are equally real. All buying gems for gold does is transfer that real cash expenditure onto another person – Anet doesn’t lose anything on it.

I didn’t get paid until the day after the sickle went out of sale. No matter the farming, begging borrowing and whateverelse, I couldn’t get it in time. Here’s to hoping they come back in one shape or another.

People have found evidence of an axe already in the code of the game….plus I’ve heard enough, “…really wish I bought a second pick/sickle…” enough to imagine them coming out with new ones periodically.
