- I bought a Personal Black Lion Delivery Contract.
- I account-bounded the item for use.
- I am happy.
- I use item (from anywhere, it spawns NPC)
- Regret sets in…
- Now I am 1000G down the drain.
- I cri evrytme :’(
- Why?
- Because only I can use the item.

My friends can talk to NPC but it does not open window or let them pickup items/gold. Which is dumb because the consumable version lets them do that… More importantly it marks a trading post on map which many people run to happily. Only to also cri evrytme when the NPC will not respond.

Please change it so anyone can talk to NPC.

Well, it does say Personal. What may happen is the Devs will remove the map icon, or icon and NPC.

I’m, personally, swimming in the non-permanent ones. I never use them, but then, I rarely buy anything from the TP, and at the rare times I do, I’m already in the Royal Terrace.

I would see the opening of the NPC as a potential threat to income from convenience purchases – a reduction of people purchasing the temp items. Sure, it’s irritating running to a random post and not being able to use it, but it makes sense from ANet’s end, as it could cause cascade purchase – can’t use NPC>ask map why>find out about permanent>look at BLTC and see ad for current gold prices>buy gems>convert to gold>buy a permanent. The permanent shop/repair/BLTC/styliist/bank are some of the height of convenience items, so it only makes sense that may spawn “bound” NPCs to tease other players. Honestly, just writing this post has tempted me (slightly) to convert gems for similar purpose.
