Guild Wars 2

Once WXP becomes account bound, flasks of liquid WXP will become redundant.

However instead of simply removing them I want to put forward a different idea.

What if we could send these flasks to other players? Players who are otherwise disregarded by the current WVW reward system. Players to spend their time and money upgrading towers or are on guard duty.

Don’t allow us to trade these flasks on the TP or consume them ourselves but do allow us to send them to individuals we consider worthy.

It would be a smart and seamless way to address a problem that might otherwise need a much more complex solution.

That way the Pve farmers can come into the game, buy tons of liquid wxp by spamming LA, and say they’re good at wvw because they bought their ranks? No thanks. Leave it to be earned, not bought.

Why would they become redundant? Can’t you just keep drinking them and gaining more World Ranks?

^ agreed

Karma is already account bound and I don’t see any of the liquid boosters as redundant or any more/less useful than they were prior to the account bound change. I don’t see how account bound wxp would make liquid wxp redundant in any way.

We should leave this discussion for when it gets closer to being a reality in 2015.

Incase someone reaches the WvW rank cap, infinity.

You can already buy liquid wxp.

yeah after 2 days of dailies :P…not exactly easy/fast to grind there Johnnymiller…. though i do buy them every chance i can.

They still have account bound karma containers so my guess WvW ones will continue in a similar manner.

Redundant in the sense that they providing nothing but require extra unnecessary clicking but devs are probably keeping them around because people love opening stuff or something. No idea how OP came to the conclusion that it means Liquid WXP should be tradeable.

Which won’t be for some time. The max is 10,000 which is Diamond Legend. The highest I’ve seen is about 3,500 so even if they play the same rate they are now, its at least a year or two away and by then I’m sure they would have gotten burnt out on GW2, moved onto another game, or slowed down.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, it’s probably one of those “tactile reward” things. People enjoy “opening” and “using” stuff.

I only play one character, but they’re useful to me anyway. I can’t play much during weeks, and when world ranker daily is up, I drink some if I can’t get two ranks in.

Yes, high WvW ranks should be reserved for PvE farmers who run karma trains. Not PvE farmers who idle in LA. We have to maintain our standards after all.

It’s just the last title you can earn. Rank goes on forever, or as high as the game coding allows it before it runs out of digits and go int othe negatives.

The ability to pass the WXP to people in need of guard stacks would be nice. Whenever accountbound WXP hits I’m pretty much “done” in terms of needed points.

Just to be clear. Are you saying that liquid WXP will be useless because you will reach level 1350ish and you will have all WvW Mastery unlock?

If it is then i agree partially. Getting any higher will not give you any more advantage but I still want to get higher in rank. Anyway most people are not yet at level 1350ish. I usually see a bunch of Bronze and a Couple of Silver, but most of the ppl i see (in my tier at least) are under level 100. Of course the account wide WxP will probably bring the majority of people in the Bronze range.

I’d imagine participation in karma training will take a major hit when the combined wxp goes live. I will certainly not be running in zergs when all my chars have 900+ points to spend.

Can’t believe I never thought of that before, definitely starting to save them up for that now.

Actually I was making this suggestion under the assumption that liquid WXP was introduced as a means to share WXP on the same account.

It allowed you to effectively “share” a certain amount of your WXP with another one of your characters.

Hence they stop serving a purpose with account-bound WXP.

If however that was never their design intent and liquid WXP simply exist to speed up the leveling process then by all means….keep it as is.
