Guild Wars 2

It would be a worthwhile to debate (in another thread) just how expensive these unlocks should be. As I understand it though, we try to tune the price by the time it takes, so that paying in gold takes just as long as obtaining it through PvE.

Starting the debate at 40 traits, 40g, 40 hours. Higher or lower? If one day a new player can choose to unlock over 200 things should it take 200 hours or less than 200 hours?

I thought it was more in the line of Phoenix for the first trait, then Dragon for the second, then Behemoth… and so forth.

Buying a new Trait in PvP will probably cost gold, since PvP gives gold (no more glory).

I think 2 Gold per Trait, and please, PLEASE, make it ACCOUNT bound.

Pretty sure that the PvE Version will be character bound. Would make a lot of sense to make it account bound in PvP though.

Whatever the cost for the traits, I think it should be easy to acquire in PvP.

They’ve already confirmed that it will be character bound. I’m hoping if enough people make a stink about it that they’ll change it to account bound, at least for PVP. There’s no reason for it to NOT be account bound in PVP except to sell character slots.
