Guild Wars 2

Now that there is queues sometimes in wvw can we please move the crafting stations to edge of the mists instead or the pvp lobby? When you have big fights going on and your back up is stuck in a big queue and you see 20 people at crafting stations this isn’t cool =(
( Especially on reset night ) No offense but crafting stations shouldn’t be in wvw or if it is it should be in EOTM where it won’t count towards server population numbers on the map.

Completely agree with this ^.

Thats actually a really good idea. Have bank access there, but removing the crafting stations would be a good start on working on queue problems.

I agree with this proposal too. There is no need to stand and “craft” stuff in WvW when you should be fighting.

Yep agree completely

+1 with that, this can spare some place in queue.

Still like that idea to move them towards ruins/center of maps.

Yes.. move them to the guild halls!

Yes.. move them to the guild halls!

That is an even better idea, oh my god =) that would be amazing !

+1 we already have tons of places for those things so it should be removed from WVW.

They don’t need to be in any pvp zones at all.

For the low price of 3000 good each…

+1

Moving Crafting Stations to EoTM

Moving Crafting Stations to EoTM

There is zero purpose to have them in eotm…

I agree 100% with the OP

Great idea from OP and expanded on by Swagger! I concur – the crafting stations have no place in pvp zones. I mean… it is a nice convenience and allows WvW’ers to stay in WvW if desired when they need/want to craft, but it’s not worth it when ppl are using them when there’s a queue and more fighting bodies are needed. (I’m also down with adding them to guild halls.)

Anet,

If you’re willing to remove the crafting stations from the BL’s, would a quick fix be to just disable them for now? (I’m guessing removal will take more time and effort.)

Thank you for your consideration.

Hey everybody,

WvW Maps & EoTM Maps are both “PvP” zones right?

What’s your opinion on the following questions?

1) Is it critical to WvW if a player engages in a long period of Crafting instead of fighting?

2) Is it critical to EoTM if a player engages in a long period of Crafting instead of fighting?

3) Would having access to Crafting stations be helpful to players…if it’s not critical to the particular PvP Game Modes mentioned above?

Thanks for the feedback in advance…trying to understand the full picture here.

Yours truly,
Diku

When I first read this I thought wth is this guy talking about till I needed to make some quick roaming food and like 15 people were crafting.

I like the idea for eotm stations because I believe you get a bonus to crafting based on your wvw level? Artisan: 2-3% increased chance of crafting critical success.

Thanks! I always try my best to expand!

Yes please, move to EOTM or Guild Hall. Somewhere that isn’t WvW.

I think we should put them only on Blackgate maps.

Terrier.8732:

Yes.. move them to the guild halls!

Of course! Lock more kitten behind HoT. Maybe it will sell better.

You can access guild halls without HoT.

Do I look like I have a guild hall? Also, I can access crafting stations without HoT. Thread is about the convenient ones currently in WvW. I’m not against putting them in EotM ofc.

True if you’re in a guild that has a hall but most that use the stations are cheap PvE’ers that don’t want to pay to wp and leave a zone then go back..

You sure about that? For some reason I recall being able to do that on my alt account before I got HoT on it. I could be mistaken.

That is such a sad thing, PvE players are just awful.

Is there an actual animation or sound that goes with crafting, I’ve never paid attention to other players at the station. I only use the crafting stations as a bank access and I’ll bet that’s what most people are doing. Never saw the need for them in wvw but I don’t think that will help with afk people at spawn.

Well, if you don’t belong to a guild with a guild hall, then use a capital city.. not locked behind HoT at all.

AFK/crafting on BL’s is hell with full queues and zone blobs.. those 15 people sitting there make a difference. Bank access could remain, ofc. We also now have the WvW Provisioner Item for cheap emergency food, or TP.

And yes, PVE people do use wvw crafting to avoid wp costs. No doubt about it.

I can’t think of any good reason to keep crafting stations in wvw.
