Guild Wars 2

Soooo much greed…..would have been better for ANET to actually give a couple of these out for free then charge for any extra you wanted, but its all about money…whether your rich or poor ANET wants it all……

Also, i want to add.

A copper-fed costs 800 gems
A slot costs 700. If you buy both and if you have at least 2 characters the slot repays itself, without mentioning if you have 3 or more!

If you have a salvaging kit is more worth, but is less comfortable since you have to swap it before logging out.

I see their reasoning to keep the price high – it is to give a way for the players to share an item for all the characters without having them buy different copies for each character and valuing more what they buy. Still i think it is a tad too much.

Also, for those talking about crowbars… forget it for your own good, if we start crying for keeping around the characters all the stuff then sure it becomes a programmation toll.

your cash grabs desturb me,were not the droids your looking for..

Please make the slots movable or place them at the end of your inventory, ty.

kitten, yesterday i bought another copper salvomatic so i have 1 for each of my 3 chars, wish i had of known sooner i would have bought a slot.

Let’s see how many items I would like to share among my alts.
– Copper-Fed-Salvage-o-Matic
– Mystic Salvage Kit
– BL Salvage Kit
– Zephyrite Lockpicks
– Bandit Skeleton Keys
– Silverwaste Shovels
– Pact Crowbars
– …

Oops, that’s already more than 5 and does not include any unlimited harvesting tools
which can’t be shared using these slots anyway …

Given that you can teleport in and out of Heart of the Mists anytime to get Bank Access these slots are of very limited benefit. Does that mean that TP and Bank will be removed from HotM?

Now that these exist I feel that the people who have invested in more than one copper fed salvage o matic should be refunded per item…or other account bound things of this nature….thanks.

(trying to be constructive, not destructive.)

Looking at those 5 slots, I though a copper-fed salvage-o-matic would look just amazing in there. So I finally bought one. It never held much attraction for me before because I play too many characters.

Was waiting for permanent Captain’s Airship Pass to go on sale again, so I had 1k gems set aside. 700 for this slot for my existing pass has saved me 300 gems.

I feel they are:

• Overpriced
  • Will not even consider purchasing more beyond the above purchased one for other items unless they are on sale for half price. The 700 gem price per slot is ludicrously high.

• Poorly Implemented
  • We can’t move it to be our bottom bag. I’m annoyed that it is forced to be the top/first slot(s) of our inventory and cannot be moved to be the last slot(s) in our inventory.

It’s anything in your inventory that’s not soulbound. I bought 5 and put my copper fed, permanent bank access and 3 permanent harvesting tools in them. They are now shared across all my chars. Even my chars harvesting flax way out in the middle of nowhere have all of these items now.

Having a permanent bank access contract with it makes these slots much more useful. I can now keep all keys and similar things in storage and grab some with the characters that need them, when they need them.

BLACK LION TRADING COMPANY GEM STORE
New Items and Promotions
Shared Inventory Slots are now available starting at 700 gems each in the Upgrade category of the Gem Store. These slots will allow an item placed in them to be accessible by any character on the account. These slots will appear at the top of your inventory once purchased. Each account can have up to 5 Shared Inventory Slots at this time.

Arenanet are you serious? 700gems for share a single item?
My fault that i havent read well before buy it, but arent 700gems too much for one single slot?
……..

kitten, yesterday i bought another copper salvomatic so i have 1 for each of my 3 chars, wish i had of known sooner i would have bought a slot.

Yeah, if this doesn’t change I’m going to go through my inventory and ask for refunds for any multiples of items I bought for characters… Off the top of my head I have an extra 2 copper fed salvage o matics and a set of getting tools. Then I’ll buy those slots and save some gems at least.

Yeah a way to convert those items back to gems would be nice (maybe they could give back 50% of their initial cost).

I have 3 x copper-fed-salvage-o-matic (gems), 2 x captain’s ship airpass (gems), several unlimited gathering sets.

Seriously?? You started this when there’s a post at the top of this forum??

…

Yes, I’m not like 24h on forum

I already asked a refund on the item. I didnt know it was only 1 slot i thought it was like a bag slot of something with more THAN 1 kittenING SLOT FOR 10$.

this is a total ripoff they really need to think about the pricing of the stuff they put on the gemstore

It’s active right now lol

By the way i already said that is my fault had bought that, i dindt said they stole my money

Then don’t buy it.

Me, I don’t see the need for it. I do see the usefulness of it (keep a salvage o matic for everyone to share, or maybe a costume brawl item or some other gizmo-class item that you like using a lot, maybe an endless tonic)…. but I think it’s kind of silly.

So I’m not buying it, for that reason. You can choose not to for its cost (which I agree is kind of high; 500-600 would have been my estimation of its value). But I can definitely see others getting it.

It’s definitely a QoL convenience, plain and simple. Many are willing to pay for such things. Others do not. Still others pick and choose their perks, weighing cost and utility.

20 shared slots though? Definitely very much overboard. I really don’t see it topping 10 even in the long run. As for the price…. Anet may tweak it if it doesn’t sell, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. It’ll sell.

This is a feature that is much needed to most players, but is priced only for the rich. In other words, to most of us, it’s a no-feature after the initial hype fades.

I find this totally acceptable. I’d have bought them at double the price.

Agreed, i would like to get one of my copper-fed’s refunded as well since the shared bags make additional items like the copper-fed fairly useless.
Would it be realistic to get a refund on such items?

Sketch Eight.9508:

kitten, yesterday i bought another copper salvomatic so i have 1 for each of my 3 chars, wish i had of known sooner i would have bought a slot.

I think there is a 2-day return period if you contact support. They might be able to help you out if you contact them in-game.

Agreed. Especially since it’s 700 gems for ONE shared slot. A refund for duplicate items going into that slot would be nice. :\

Yeah I second that. I have several copies of permanent passes and similar stuff that the shared slots have made obsolete now.

Would be nice if this could be exchanged or refunded.

I suppose the value of these is partially dependant on what you’d put in them.

I have almost 250 frostbitten tools and I’ve always used Mystic salvage kits (from free forge stones) instead of getting one of the gem store kits. I also don’t need to use the bank, TP etc. often enough that waiting until it’s convenient to go to the HOTM is a problem.

So I’d mainly use it for toys and tonics, and to save time when transferring items between characters. Maybe keep my revive orbs in there since I never have many of them.

Which means they have limited appeal for me.

Whereas I can imagine someone with a Royal Terrace Pass and multiple characters would find it hugely useful.

I like it; bought one for my Royal Terrace Pass. I would rather have it at the bottom on my inventory, though.

For those with Permanent Bank Access (JFW), you might consider leaving the Unlimited Gathering Tools in the Bank, rather than the slots (if not too inconvenient); that would open the 3 slots for something else (since you have to move the Tools on each character, anyway). Just a thought.

You can put permanent harvesting tools in there. When you click on them they’ll swap out with any nonpermanent tools that char has and put those in that slot, so you do need to keep one set of non permanent tools on each char and remember to click on the tools in the shared slots to put them in there when you’re done with that char, but they will go in there.

Maybe it’s not “tidy” but clicking on 3 items is faster than 2 loading screens for WvW/The Mists and running to the bank.

I just went over a few characters to gather some stuff from them that they don’t need to carry around any longer, and man, I hate what happened to their meticulously arranged inventories. Everything is shifted 5 spaces.

These things NEED to come with the option to put them on the bottom.

I can see it being slightly useful, but the price….How can 5 slots be equal in value to the entirety of HoT?

RoseofGilead.8907:

Agreed. Especially since it’s 700 gems for ONE shared slot. A refund for duplicate items going into that slot would be nice. :\

And the sole reason these items were purchased several times was because we didn’t have shared bags.

So ANet gets its money twice.

If you could previously transfer the item between characters using your account bank, it should be able to go into the shared slot.

- common sense

Let me get this right – A slot as in storage for a single item, singular as in one thing, one inventory bag space? Not a bag, but a solitary shared item? One. Un/Une (depending on whether it is a masculine or feminine).

April Fools come early? Come on Anet you are having a laugh.

They really made a big mistake on this. This sort of item, should have not even been a thought of actually making it through the people it made it through.

1) Previous GEM buyers usually buy more than 1 of a “unlimited use” item, such as a gathering tool or toy or pass. Which now is being able to be shared. The GEMS used to buy more than one “unlimited use” items has now been a waste of GEMS purchase.

2) A refund should be in order. From a managerial stand point, there will be a lot of problems with ANET getting constant messages on why this is bad or what they can do to make it better.

3) From sending in messages, you make the buyers heard. At the same time, they other end receiving and reading the email’s will most likely not do much.

4) I am sorry for those and including myself for falling for their scheme to milk us. No way they will fix this. At least not for a LONG time, if ever.

5) I feel cheated, and I bet a whole lot of the community does too.

6) I can only wish something better could happen from this.

The idea is great. Many people would pay for that myself included. Buy holy *. 700 per one kitten item slot? Thats almost 10 $/Eu. No thank you, I will keep using my bank.

And yet another extreme overpriced cash shop item? What happened to all the sales on useful services and convenience items which i loved so much. I would love a sale on collection expanders (ages ago) , crafting licenses (never had one) and salvage o matics (ages ago). Guess the Gem store is only for the minority of people who dump enormous quantities of cash in it.

And we were worried about Nexon buying in to NCsoft and ruining GW2 with a greedy cash shop lol. They are doing it all on their own!

Sorry, but you are trying to defend gouging of players, and that’s just as bad as this account slot rip off.

o_O 3500 gems. Poof.
I want your money. ;_;

Though, I might get one or two to put the salvage kit in there. It’d help a lot with keeping my inventory clear of kits, and that’s 2+ bag spaces per character. I just wish it wasn’t 700 gems each.

Did you really expect a different response to the anger over lost guild storage slots for non HoT players?
Think this will make them buy HoT?

You can put permanent harvesting tools in there. When you click on them they’ll swap out with any nonpermanent tools that char has and put those in that slot, so you do need to keep one set of non permanent tools on each char and remember to click on the tools in the shared slots to put them in there when you’re done with that char, but they will go in there.

Maybe it’s not “tidy” but clicking on 3 items is faster than 2 loading screens for WvW/The Mists and running to the bank.

I probably should have said shared directly or something.

It’s only 560 gems per slot if you buy 5. That’s actually not too bad especially if you were planning on buying multiple unlimited gathering tools or Royal Terrace/Captain Airship passes.

Unfortunately I already have multiples of all those things, wish there was a way to trade them in for gems now that they are unnecessary T_T

Sorry, but you are trying to defend gouging of players, and that’s just as bad as this account slot rip off.

And doubly a rip off as they sold many account bound items because we didn’t have this shared bag facility in the past. Lots of peeps now have useless duplicate salvage and harvesting tools.

too bad they didn’t make them bag slots instead (with a cap of 2 acct bag slots maybe). That would have been more useful, even if they put a bag type cap on the slots (like only 4/5/10 slot bags can go in them).
But no, anet had to go the pocket gouging way and make them single item slots for almost $10 a piece…

I don’t think you guys understand why these cost the price they do. If some one buys one of these slots they will NEVER buy multiples of the copper-fed or the infinite gathering. they have to make the money back for the lost sales from those items that’s why the price is what it its.

I really have no idea why people think this is overpriced. Sure, it could be a little cheaper, but compared to having to buy any item from the gem store for even 2, let alone 5+ characters is going to be made WAY cheaper with just 1 of these slots. You can store a Infinite-use bank, harvesting tools, salvage-o-matics, legendaries, etc. All worth at least 700 gems, if not far more. These shared slots aren’t meant to store everything you own. I would prefer they add additional slots exclusively for equipment, in sets of 6 or so, for the same price, but other than that, I think it’s reasonable, plus it’s very modular, they can add more slots as time goes on. But remember that because this isn’t for just anything, and it’s intended for super valuable stuff, it doesn’t (and shouldn’t) be super cheap. If they made a whole bag slot for 700 gems, that would be less than 40 gems for 1 slot, 1 slot that could hold something like a permanent infinite-use bank item which prior to this you would need 1 per character. This addition will potentially take a lot of other sales from ANet, so appreciate it for what it does, and not what it isn’t.

Are there refunds if you bought multiple salvage-o-matics, since now you only need 1 …

So I have a fair number of alt with their own recyclomatic & infinite recolt tool.
I also own a permanent bank access.
Now with the new shared inventory slot, they become totally useless & redundant, so I hope for a gem refund for them.
Is it possible ?
