Guild Wars 2

I WvW a lot, and because of that I get A LOT of ascended materials. In fact, so much so that I’ve had to store stacks of them on my mules because my bank has become overwhelmed by it all. I was able to cope with it for a while, but now it’s become such a burden that I’ve had to start spending money (at least 8 gold just today) to combine them into the bricks, stars and ingots, so that my bank can have a bit more room for items I’ll actually use.

And sure, I could just delete the stacks, but I earnt them, and as an example, knowing that a couple of my soulbound infinite gathering tools a while back weren’t refunded because I deleted them before they were ultimately made account bound… well, going by history, sooner or later the ascended mats will also most likely have a lot more uses and I would regret deleting items I will never get back because of the potential of them eventually getting updated (and before you ask, yes I sent in a ticket about it but it was refused – I obviously haven’t moved on, but I have learned that you should never delete any gem store item because it could very well be updated in the future without any notice and you won’t get it back because you deleted it. Here, I’m simply making a point of how this mistake can be made in this deleting-of-ascended-mats scenario too).

Anet, we NEED more things to use these ascended materials, bricks, stars and ingots on. You could perhaps bring out some legendary dyes or something, and have it require uber amounts of these ascended mats. I don’t know. I just don’t want to wait 50 blue moons before something is done about it, because it’s becoming extremely frustrating with the abundance of them.

You only need to see the amount of bloodstone bricks, ascended banana bars and empyreal stars I have, to see it’s becoming a real problem:

That’s at least 18,500 bloodstone dust, 4,000 dragonite ore, and 13,750 empyreal fragments :-/

Not sure what the picture shows, but I’m sure lots of people have hordes of mats, and others just wish they did. =P

Complain about it,they will reduce the drop rate + will increase the materials req for some items + they will add materials req for existing items that don’t req those materials and you get a very unhappy community….because you have too many of those…destroy them and you are done.

Just edited the picture to show the abundance of ascended mats.

I hope Anet wouldn’t reduce the drop rate, because that would be a really weird fix that doesn’t actually solve the main problem. The problem is there aren’t enough things to use them for. Heck, offer tomes of knowledge for 30 silver and 1 stack of any ascended materials. Or perhaps 1 skill point for every stack? We just need more options.

I’m sure they will add more options down the line. They already have for the bloodstone dust, just need to give it some time.

Not sure if you get extra points for being the 10029384 millionth person to post about this or not.

ANet just boosted the dragonite drop from keep lords in WvW for some weird reason. I just drop them every time I get a stack of 250. Way too easy to farm.

It was an across the game buff to drop amount. Evidently non-wvw’ers were having a hard time getting dragonite.

Didn’t they nerf bloodstone dust once already? Because people said they had too much?

Oh! Well, it looks the same to me, except maybe the little yellow box?

i destroyed a lot of them as i am not crafting ascended weapons or armor.

maybe i should only keep enough to level crafting skills to 500 for the achievement then destroy all remaining ones.

still waiting for my ascended weapons and armor to drop from the sky.
been hoarding champion bags.

one of my guild members horded around 1900 champion bags then opened them all.
i think she got at least 3 ascended boxes.

same problem with fractal shards, only needed to infuse sth, which doesnt happen that often, so they just keep stacking..
maybe an option to gain fractal skins with an adequate amount of them

Before I had the same people then I started crafting ascendeds…
