Guild Wars 2

After having the consortium harvesting sickle for a while, I noticed the Reap-r-Tron in the gem store. I liked the animation after seeing another person use it, so I bought it with hopes of a quick harvest like the consortium. After using it, I was a bit disappointed with the length of time needed to get the plant. I’ve seen all the animations and watched the times needed to be able to move after activating the node (for the tools I don’t own) and the Reap-r-Tron is the only one which requires you to finish the animation before you get the plant (others give it to you almost immediately after interacting). While I understand the permanent tools are mean to be convenient for not having to buy more tools and have neat animations, I like the speed of gathering of the consortium sickle. I’m hoping Anet will be willing to adjust the Reap-r-Tron so it will perform at the same speed as the other tools so I don’t have to choose speed over looks as I like the Reap-r-Tron animation more.

Besides that, I would also like to suggest making chili peppers more accessible. Chili peppers are used in each tier of cooking, but are a rather important ingredient in some higher tier foods. The fact that it can only be found in Ascalon, along with it sharing nodes with many other herbs means it has a low chance of being harvested and is rather costly to buy (30s on the TP right now). I think making a chili pepper node would go a long way to helping with the price of it and since there are pepper plants in higher level instances, it wouldn’t be out of place to create this.

The last thing I would like to suggest is adding something extra for plants to replace the small chance of an unidentified dye, which was removed a while ago. When mining or chopping, there is a chance for a gem while harvesting now only gives dandelions which literally do nothing in terms of crafting. I don’t really have an idea as to what could be used for this particular item, but every time I get a dandelion I think to myself, “Great. More trash to sell to the vendor.” While I don’t mind the extra money it provides, I would like something more useful than vendor junk.

Thank you for your time.

As a forager, I like the price of chili peppers, and it one of my “nice drops” I think it is fine how it is. I do miss getting unidentified dyes with plants, I loved that, it would be nice to see something more substantial than a dandelion.
