Guild Wars 2

The biggest problem now, there are no, not even one as there would always be, dedicated merchant at primary WP on Bloodstone Fen and Ember Bay (there the merchant is split into bits on the heart merchants).

Please, add atleast 1 merchant near the primary WPs, one near Soulkeeper’s Airship WP in Bloodstone Fen and one at Promontory WP in Ember Bay.

The BL Merchant gemstore items are meant to be used as quick access point, not as a dedicated merchant.

The devs commented on the lack of merchant in Bloodstone Fen during one of the AMA’s around its release. I believe the response was something along the lines of “The lack of a merchant has to do with the story and the fact that its difficult for merchants to get supplies out in such a remote area, so we didn’t put one into the zone”.

I’d imagine the same would apply to Ember Bay as well. While there IS an asura gate, its not a publically accessible gate, only useable by the forward teams Taimi is sending which are still in their preliminary stages. So moving merchant goods probably isn’t viable there either, at least not yet. Maybe the story will eventually progress to a point where travel to EB becomes more accessible and then we’ll get vendors.

Is the concern buying tools, or selling junk? If the latter, the BF vendor inside the airship who sells the air combat masteries will also buy your stuff. The EB hearts act as vendors for selling, albeit only after completion each day. I think the Carnival Weapons seller will buy your stuff too, iirc, and she’s always there.
