Against my better judgement and in light of the ridiculousness of scribing costs and recipes, I decided that it might be awesome to build a maze in my Guild Hall for me and my guildies to enjoy!
The plan was simple; use Hedges and Hedge Corners to construct a large-scale maze in the largest, flattest space I could find in Gilded Hollow (which ended up being the plateau to the North of the Cavern Mine Waypoint).
Given the current cost of such decorations, progress has, admittedly, been quite slow but the suspense has only made the project more popular within the guild and many members have been making donations towards the cause.

Last night, after crafting a further 10 Hedges, I went to expand the maze and my heart sank. Yeah, you guessed it, I had reached the local decoration limit. In order to get around this, I am going to have to seriously kitten the project by massively reducing its size and complexity (despite the fact that I don’t think its particularly excessive) or by widening the lanes to such an extent that I will likely run out of space or require even more decorations who’s cost is, frankly, obscene.
With that said, I am writing this post not to complain about the complexity of scribing recipes or the hugely inflated costs associated with the mechanic but, instead, to plea that Arena Net reconsider their local (not global) decoration limits so that I, and others, may have the flexibility to fully indulge in decoration and unleash the creativity of this community on our guild halls.
In you agree, please support this thread with your own tales of decoration woe and share it with others so that it might receive the attention I think it needs!
TL;DR I wanted to make a maze but I couldn’t due to local decoration limits. If you’d like to see these limits reevaluated in the future, support this thread.
