Q:

And obtain all the skins and achievement points in the process? Some players like me have multiple accounts, but can’t play on their “main” due to unforseen reasons, or wanted to start afresh, but maintain their rewards, which I believe they are entitled to.

I assume you’re talking about linking Guild Wars 1 to Guild Wars 2. No, only one time per account and it can’t be taken off and switched to another account.

Please note: Once you link a Guild Wars account to Guild Wars 2, you cannot unlink them. Choose wisely and type carefully!

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I somehow doubt it. Also what unforeseen reasons are there that you can’t play on your main? Except somehow getting your account banned, I can’t think of any.
Also wouldn’t it defeat the purpose of starting anew if you keep your old stuff? In that case deleting your characters and making new ones should do the trick.

No. There is no way to link two Guild Wars 2 accounts together.

Can you be more specific about these “unforseen reasons”? Because the only one I can think of that would prevent a character from being played is the account got banned.

If the account’s banned, there is no justification for allowing that player to get those achievements. It cheapens the effort of everyone who follows the rules.

I wouldn’t mind if there was a way, my alt account could have access to all the skins on my main and send my main account the account bound items that account can’t use. ^^ However, since that bypasses playing the game to earn the rewards then this will never happen. Each account is separate and for the foreseeable future will remain so.

Not reffering to banning lol, but you are completly right ^^.
Extreme example: Ex-bullied, got harrassed online, reported his harrassers but still felt like his account had been tarnished by the event, wants to start afresh on a account where noone knows him or his situation to prevent ever being a victim again.

Yeah wont happen, it would create too much possibilities for exploitation.

You would have bypassing time gated crafting and other such things such as the new key farming rule. Double, triple etc laurels, yeah no, too open for “pay to win” situations.

Don’t even get me started about gold sellers and their bots and how they could exploit it…

Then there is free accounts on top of this. I suppose you would rule them out? They would have to.

Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?

…buddy, just tell your friend to get over that nonsense and log in. And believe me, I know all about that particular brand of nonsense. Why on EARTH should your friend let a few faceless dinks keep him from everything he’s accomplished?!

As long as your friend refuses to claim what he’s rightfully earned from said dinks, he will ALWAYS be a victim. And no one deserves to go through that bullkitten. (Yes, I actually typed “bullkitten”. Starting to enjoy the use of minced oaths here, plus it’s a helluva visual.)

Tell your friend that there’s nothing their words can do to him that he doesn’t want to happen. Don’t let words keep him from the body of his work. Tell him to man up and reclaim what is his.

As a friend, doing anything less for him would be an appalling disservice. -Sid

You would also have the opposite be true. The bullies able to link their accounts and keep all their rewards but be under a new name. Thus pretty much losing their bad rep for what they have done in the past. This could be the real problem.

If someone has been the victim of such a case I really can’t see how they are the one with the tarnished name.
