Why Crafting for Celestial Armor?
Did you check to see if there were other ways to get Celestial armor in the game? You can’t get everything, but you can already get a full set of Ascended Celestial Trinkets, and you can get an Exotic Celestial Accessory (after collecting 1,000 karka shellls!).
Have you also considered that there are alot of players with maxed out crafting levels, and can already craft Celestial armor in, like, five minutes, not several hours like you are implying.
But I do agree, We need to be able to get any armor stat we want to, either by crafting, by Karma, by Laurels, or by Collecting items to trade for them (like dungeons and WvW). As it stands, there are only some armor types you can get from any one of these things.
And as far as account bound goes (for getting armor by any of those methods), why shouldn’t it be account bound? You’re telling me that you just want to buy the armor instead of doing the hard work to get it yourself? That’s not even playing the game (well, it is technically Grinding COF or another dungeon until you get the gold to buy it, but still…)
I don’t mind crafting I am not good at crafting, but I dodn’t mind it.
However I always thought that trade is an integral part of crafting, I would have reached my current crafting levels by farming the mats by myself. I did buy some of these things.
So being able to aquire crafting material and selling the crafted product is something which makes things accessable.
Now I have to gather all the mats by myself and have to charge the quartz once per day. I also need at least 2 recipes to craft something worthwhile. Once the Insigna/Inscription and than the piece I really want to craft. and than it is account bound.
I am so not going to bother with the whole stuff. I charged my 8 quartz for the archivement and also got my Node in my home instance. But I will ignore the node until I can do something interesting with this stuff like selling for example. But that will probably never happen.
Give me teamviewer access and 10 gold and I’ll craft your toon to 400 for you.
Although … probably against the terms of service. Sorry mate, can’t help you, might get both of us banned. Would love to help you though.
