Q:

Just a suggestion, possibly use gw1 as a backbone here, but I enjoyed travelling to different areas for different things eg Elona for the “yelling trade”, running Lornas pass for  armour, killing enemies for elites etc! So would it be possible to say have certain items restricted in the TP to location and let people travel there rather than wp, eg LA for. Mats, Divinity for trinks and so on, this would encourage people to travel and trade rather than just press"o" then horde in LA, this way crafting also becomes more rewarding rather than bulk buying from one single TP. Possibly might be an option to have cross server trade e.g Gandara might have something and cheaper for Gandara folk to buy than say another server and vice versa. This woild encourage people to work a little harder on their server, some to farm, some to get items from dungeons, wvw, pvp and work together? Of course this is just a suggestion…

Honestly, that would require a large amount of time spent studying where everything is for a new player. If I was a new player, I would rather not spend more time on the wiki looking at where everything is than in the actual game.

^^ this, that kind of restricted play was fine for gw1 but not so much for gw2 sorry but no thank you.

Yep I see your point, maybe for new characters the basic equipment could be obtained at their “home” location and then encourage people to go and explore Tyria for mid/high level stuff. I try not to use wiki that often and its a service to be used,, however I do feel this will help repopulate areas and get taxis going again and get people talking/helping again, otherwise its pretty much a solo mmo environment.

I agree that they do need to move things like the Karma armor vendors to the cities however the TP should be accessable everywhere like it is now, It’s even accessable in ebonhawk which is nice.
