Guild Wars 2

Hey,

since one can get the mini Gwynefyrdd for 100 candy corn cobs and candy corn is tradeable via trading post why is the miniature itself not tradeable?

Another point speaking for removing the account binding is:
You can get it from ToT bags.
I was lucky and got one last year and again lucky this year (sorry guys) and got it again.
Now it sits there in my inventory (the other one was “used” for my account) and I can do nothing with it. I cannot even gift it to a buddy or anything. It’s basically trash now, which is sad since there are so many people out there wishing for it.
It hurts my heart to destroy such a nice item while my friends have to try so hard to get it.

So please ANet, fix this and make it tradeable.
Or tell your support to let them do transfers of that item to other accounts.
Or add a gift to… (other player) function on it.

Please don’t make me trash Gwynefyrdd, pretty please!

And sorry guys, I know this is a stupid and disgusting (for some of you) “problem”. And sorry for making some people hate me for my luck now :/

Yes. I have no idea why they don’t make things like this sellable. But gosh. You don’t have to trash it. You’re in luck. They put in a mystic forge recipe last year.

Recipe
1 Mini Gwynefyrdd
13 Chattering Skull
13 Plastic Fangs
13 Nougat Center

Output
One Candy Corn Cobb

Now, don’t you feel all better. ^^

Now that is funny.

It happened last year, too. I think for [reasons], ANet doesn’t want to revisit this.

Personally, I think that low-drop rate items should always have an alternative value, ideally trading on the TP, but at least salvageable, exchangeable, or forgeable — nothing in this game should ever be worth more after deleting (in this case, deleting restores an inventory slot that would otherwise be lost).

It’s okay to account-bind a limited amount of things that are crafted or otherwise ‘built’, so that there’s a reason for removing them from the economy. I don’t agree with ANet that things like the mini gwyn are both rare and valueless.
