Guild Wars 2

I’ve decided to have some fun crafting Mawdrey. Unfortunately I can’t, because apparently I have to craft the same item for 7 days. Why? What’s the point? Why would you put this time wall there? I can sort of understand that for ascended gear, but it’s a single back piece.
I hope you do realize that this sort of thing destroys any sort of enjoyement I had preparing for crafting Mawdrey thus far.

If someone has any logical explanation of why it exists at all, I’d like to know~

(And yes, I know I can buy nearly every ingredient, but why should I be punished for making something myself instead of being rich?)

They added the time wall there in order to push people towards trading. People have been wanting more meaning and ability to get money from crafting since release more or less.
With these new things it creates a rather clear market for crafters which makes this possible.

I see…well isn’t that the worst kind of thing they could possibly do? They should probably focus on exotics and rares being cheaper to buy on trading post rather than to get by crafting.

Lack of content. When they force you to spread your time out over many days it gives the illusion that there’s more content.

You can buy everything from the TP right?

So there is actually no time wall.

Quite honestly, you wont’ even pay that much extra to get it right away. Since you can keep crafting the ingredient after and sell it on the trading post.

This is the real answer. It is pretty common among mmo games.

I think I might just do that. :I

ITs also to prevent market shocks during the initial release.
