You can actually craft to 375 in each for roughly 100 gp, you will be within 10-12 levels of 80 depending on how you do it.

No it won’t; not since ascended crafting was implemented. It’ll get you to maybe 50.

7 levels for each so level 56 to be exact. And since you don’t have access to T6 mats at that point you have to wait until 80 to go to 500 in the weapon crafts.

Nuzt.7894:

Because players are lazy, I said it in a different thread, if you make an alt it does not start at 80? Just because you put time into 1 character does not mean all characters should reap the benefits, new character, new progression. Should a fresh 80 come out rocking Guarded leech or Applied fortitude because you spent time on another character ? The answer is no.

I really do blame WoW for the ever growing laziness of players as it seems this is when MMO’s went laughable ez mode. Does anyone remember when you actually had to work at your character, its what gave players a sense of accomplishment for thier time invested.

So what you are saying is titles should also be character bound. In order for you to show “Golden” on your fresh new toon, you first need to earn that gold on that toon. Giving your new characters access to all your titles just doesn’t make sense right? They didn’t earn that title. /sarcasm

If the ranks offered nothing but a title, I might agree with you. But they boost your effectiveness in WvW (sometimes greatly). If WvW experience was capped at like 100 ranks, I might agree with your laziness idea, but the fact that you can get 1000s of ranks…and that you benefit from having at least 1300 ranks (1315 points at the moment) leads one to believe that this was never ment to be an alt friendly system.

Nuzt.7894:

Working for account progression translates to laziness, again if it should be account bound why do alts not start at level 80 ? And yes getting the ranks and points on all characters is ez mode. You did the work on 1 character you should be rewarded for that 1 character, you did not do the work on 2, 3, 4, 5 ect character so why should they benefit.

Its disgusting how lazy players have become.

My alts (if I ever choose to start more) will start with all skills and be lv 20. Am I being lazy? Should I ignore these items and just start from scratch? Should I not buy/craft my alts gear as that makes the leveling process faster and easier. And while getting ranks might be easy, do you know how long it will take to get over 1000 ranks on multiple alts? (or to simple get the first 230 levels for leaching abilities?)

well alot of it is because have you been to pvp latly? its hard as hell to rank up if they made it accountbound max rank right now would be like 60

I wouldn’t mind it if it was similar to grinding to 80….you can hit 80 in one day of crafting…you can get to 80 pretty easily in a week or so hell lets say a MONTH….how long does it take you to get 14,000 WvW levels to max out ONE character…you could log into WvW everyday for a month and still not get to it…..in fact as of the release I have not heard of ANYONE maxing out the cap on WvW levels….GW2 had people hitting level 80 in 1 day through crafting.

I don’t mind them making it a character progression, but they made maxing it out WAY too high for character progression (just like they did for some WvW achievements that would take years to kill enough yaks to achieve…lol) and the dribs and drabs of WxP and the boosters are STILL not enough to make up for that…

If they want the grind to get to max wvw level to be this long it needs to be account bound…..if they want it to be character progression they need to make it much more achievable, and much more than they have been..

I think the average people have reported is about 1 level per hour. If you take that into account it will only take about 19-20 months of 24h playing to max out on 1 character.

Add another 10 months if you want to actually sleep/bio/eat (8 hours/day)….

Turn gold into character slots and get Birthday Boosters to halve the time.

1. to run in a 80ppl zerg with many lags is character progression?
2. some traits like defense against guard let me win every 1v1 fight… balanced?
3. a ppl with a main play the same time like a ppl with 8 alts.. sry guys i play now over 3000h this game it dont want play every day the same char. but i cant switch because its wastet time to play an alt in wvw…

wake up… make it accountbound or the wvwgame dies one day when the ppl have no passion for such a fucx system.

Isn’t it nice knowing you can do something for 5 minutes on one character and you will be rewarded with an account bound title? Don’t worry though, the hundreds of hours you spent accumulating ranks in WvW will suddenly be ripped from you the second you log into an alt. #thatlogic

Account bound rank
Character bound abilties

Character bound rank is the reason i don’t play alts in WvW. I stick to one class to progress with.

The metrics already took away half of WvW dev team’s thinking skills.
