Guild Wars 2

I made the unfortunate idiocy of double clicking BUY when it was time to get my first training book. No need to say that this cut a serious dent in my fortune. Started at 28 sp, ended up with 8 sp. >.<

Since those books can’t be used twice or sold, all I could do was trash it. Then I shed a small tear as I realized a third of my fortune had vanished in a whiff of smoke. QQ

Would it be possible to have a flag stopping you from owning the same training book twice (can’t have 2 in your inventory at the same time)?

As this is closely related to the bug I noticed…

I was able to spend my points before reading the first training book. I had bought it but not used it, it could not be used afterwards so I threw it away as it was not needed anymore.

Why do we even need the books in the first place? Would it not be enough to give the money directly to the trainer and avoid the books completely?

The main advantage of having the books is that you can buy the book in advance of reaching the appropriate level, to save having to return to the trainer when you reach that level.

I also seem to recall the books being account bound, so simply save it for another character and it’s not a total waste of cash.
