May it be good or may it be bad

Permanent Account Tools
I know they updated the Gathering tools in the past from soul bound to account bound and let everyone who bought multiple items get refunded. So if they didn’t mind refunding the price for it, then why can’t they allow us easy access for multiple characters?

They could easily imply an option to make it so you go to a certain NPC and collect the tools you previously bought Gathering Tools from the gem store but easily accessible for a new or previous multiple character.

Obviously I can only think of advantages, but many people would see a disadvantage to having the tools like this.

The main advantage to this is having the following:
- Access to any character whenever you want, meaning no need to go to the bank, store item, and then swap character and when finished repeat the whole process.

To others it may not be that much of problem, but I’d rather be able to roam on any character whether WvW or PvE and get items whenever I come across them without worrying: “Oh I better go get the tool off my other character”

They wont ever do this cause they will just say if u want it on multiple chars u need to just buy them.

While I agree this would be a nice feature, and would enjoy it as well, I have to agree that it will never happen.

First, they can’t make things too easy for players, and this definitely would.
Second, they need to continue to entice players to buy these tools and this option would kill that because no one would ever desire an additional set.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Come on, get on board with the OP. This has to be allowed so the next step can be the same thing with ascended & legendary items!

The only negative I can come up with from a player perspective is that some people purchased different versions of the permanent gathering tools and can’t get a refund. For instance, if you purchased the Molten pick and the Watchwork pick you can’t get a refund.

I’m in the opposite boat. I purchased all 3 of the gathering tools for each of my 8 characters. And they’re all the same versions. This would pretty much force me to get a refund for 21 of them. The reason I haven’t asked for a refund: convenience.

Yes, I’d like to see it. I also have a doubt that this will happen.
