Guild Wars 2

Dear ArenaNet,

Please let us salvage our extra/duplicate Ascended trinkets that we currently can’t do much to get some number of the three basic Ascended crafting mats: Bloodstone Dust, Empyreal Fragments, and Dragonite Ore. These materials are account-bound so it wouldn’t result in much economic imbalance if such a salvaging system to make some use of our duplicate trinkets (rings looted in fractals especially) were implemented.

Also, because some people have a harder time obtaining certain Ascended crafting mats yet have tons of other Ascended crafting mats, I think it would be good to give us a Mystic Forge recipe to convert them.

For example, some people say they have a hard time getting Empyreal Fragments because they hardly run dungeons meanwhile I have tons of Emp Frags but hardly any Dragonite.

I for one have a hard time running temples to get Dragonite Ore, mainly because the temple raid zergs are so massive that even on lowest settings they cause my computer to drop to a near-unplayable framerate, or crash the game, or cause a bug where my skills no longer work until I relog (this has happened twice on separate occasions, both temple raids and when I relog, the map during the raid is so full that I end up in overflow and because of the bug I got no credit because I couldn’t use skills to hit anything during the main event). I enjoy running dungeons though, because they only require 5 people in my party and I have no problems playing them. My computer is fairly above the minimum specs advertised to play, so telling me to buy a new computer is fine and well, and I plan to, but it’s still a part of the game that should be fixed and improved.

But I digress, a way to convert the three basic ascended mats would help people find a bit of use for their extra stacks and also give people who have a very hard time getting one of the mats a better chance at using their other hard-earned Ascended mats to get it.

To make sure that prices on the TP don’t go nuts in the process, it might be a good idea to just use crafting mats with locked prices like Thermocatalytic Reagents.

Throw that into the Mystic Forge with some other stuff, a stack of the Ascended material to convert from, and some variable item in the recipe to choose which other Ascended material to convert it into, hand it over to the Random Number Generator, and then it spits out something like 50-100 of the desired material or something like that.

Please consider these suggestions, thank you for reading.
