Guild Wars 2

Please change these from account bound to tradable on the TP now that three classes can benefit from them. The recipe price is next to nothing (40c), but many players do not want to develop their own pool of skill 400 crafters. I would like to make some money off of those people.

Thanks!

In ANet’s shoes, the argument “I want to make money off the lazy” wouldn’t sway me to change the status quo or alter plans for the future. I would be more likely influenced by someone saying that they have their own pool of r400 crafters and want to be able to make their own. Or even someone who asked, “why are there any runes/sigils that are still bound on acquire? How does it serve the game with one of the healthiest economies to lock useful items outside the Trading Post?”

I thought the honesty might be refreshing . …Since “How does it serve the game with one of the healthiest economies to lock useful items outside the Trading Post?” is the exact same argument wearing a nice frock and bonnet.

(if you have even a single r400 armor crafting character its trivial to make them for your whole account. The recipe cost is a rounding error compared to most crafting activities.)

Well, maybe I can make a swaying argument for him for that to be changed, since I HATE crafting, and laziness has nothing to do with it. I just never liked doing that in any game I played. Avoided that activity like the plague. I’d like to have access to this rune and don’t want to be forced to have to make it to get my hands on them. And I don’t mind paying other people to make it for me, as long as the price is reasonable.

Crafting is a mat sink, learning to craft is an even bigger mat sink, mat sinks help keep the economy healthy so I can see why there is very little incentive for Anet to change account bound Runes, gear, food etc.

Healthy economy for who? Certainly not the new player/crafter that is locked out of the few recipes that actually make a profit for those that were lucky enough to be present during the queens jubilee event.

I have master crafter and 99,9% of anything you can make is lucky if it sells higher than the going price on mats that were used to make it. I mainly used crafting to level aside from wanting the achievement.

So please don’t try to sing me the song about a healthy economy or supply and demand because that went out the window when real cash entered the picture.
From the stingy resource nodes, or the account bound crafted items, along with the constant down bidding for items on the TP it all runs like a well oiled casino slanted in the house’s favor.

In a nutshell that is why you can’t have some of the things you want unless you get sucked into the black-hole of crafting which encourages the player to look towards the TP for bulk mats.

Kamara I wasn’t here for the Queen’s Jubilee, I’ve only been playing a little over a year, what recipes did I miss out on?

Roundabout.1752:

Kamara I wasn’t here for the Queen’s Jubilee, I’ve only been playing a little over a year, what recipes did I miss out on?

Sigil of Malice , Rune of Tormenting, Rune of Exuberance, Sigil of Bursting, Sigil of Renewal, Rune of Perplexity, and Watchwork Portal Device.

I copied the above from a quick google search. But go look at what some of those items are selling for.

P.S. I wasn’t here for it either which is another disappointing strike for being a new to GW2 player

Yep some pretty pricey stuff but that’s what happens when you don’t get in early . I brought the recipe for Sigil of Torment figured I’d make a bundle, thing is it costs so much to make I could have just skipped buying the recipe and farmed and sold the mats, I’d have been ahead. Who knows perhaps the recipes will turn up again Anet does that.
