Guild Wars 2

Change it from an item to an account-wide flag that allows you to get to the terrace on any character on the account you bought it on, then reintroduce it to the gem shop. I’m sure more people will buy it if they don’t have to keep swapping one single item around to all of their characters. I got it for the convenience and found out it was a bloody hassle.

Would solve the problem and more.

OP, even if that would be done I don’t see the convince of it other than quieter map chat.

Now if they had a karma vender for all food karma base items (like the various fruits, ginger, etc.) in there, then I’d start to consider one.

That would be the greatest thing EVER!!!

Similar suggestions have been made for other gem store items, particularly the infinite gathering tools.

The general consensus is that it would cause ArenaNet to lost money. How? If you don’t want to hassle with using the account bank to transfer the item between characters, you would need to pay 1,000 gems each to get it for your alts. And I’m sure some players have purchased multiple copies of such things from the gem store for their alts, so if they suddenly changed it to only need 1 each for your entire account those same players would demand a refund or some sort of other compensation for all the (now) unneeded extras they have.

I love the idea of making such things a single purchase account-wide unlock. But I’m just sticking to using the account bank to transfer items between characters because I’m not paying any more gems then I have to. Why should I pay more gems to have the items on my alts when what I already have can be used by them?

Keep in mind: to my understanding, originally infinite use gathering tools were bound to character, so at the time you had no choice but to buy more for your alts. They probably prefer it that way and never wanted to change it, but only changed them to be account bound due to the backlash they got from it on account of how greedy they made themselves out to be.

The whole thing is a money making scheme and I don’t expect them to change it any time soon.

Completely forgot to check on this, and I’m a bit confused now.

I’ve… got no idea why anyone is comparing the harvesting tools to the Terrace Pass. The harvesting and salvage tools are always available in the gem shop. It would be monumentally dumb for ANet to make those account-wide because they’re not the same thing.

That’s kind of why I’m not talking about the harvesting tools and the salvage kits and the bag slots, and am talking about the one item they tout as “the ultimate convenience,” release once or twice a year for a week or two tops, and make it inconvenient to use.
