Guild Wars 2

So today I log in- after leaving the following breakdown of gold across my characters the night before.

Guardian: 61 gold
Necro: 3-4
Enge: 1-2
Warrior: 3-4
Mesmer: a few silver

Notice each character still retained their own respective gold pools separate from one another. I had believed this was how the wallet system worked as since resuming play a few days ago it had been this way

However, this morning upon logging on I discovered that, overnight my guardian’s gold had gone down from 61 to just under 7 without single action on my part. On every other character and after several relogs it was the same. Each character has six gold and about eighty silver- across five characters this still adds up to less then what ONE of my characters had ten or so hours before.

Apparently, I have leaned, this is how the wallet was made to function. By divvying up your gold and giving a portion to each character regardless of your desires. Never the less I am now 30 gold worse off for no reason. With no hope at recovering the loss or any means of moving the gold off characters that do not need it (as you cannot mail gold to yourself or store it in your bank any more)

This is either a bad joke or terrible bug. In either event knowing that my money cannot be recovered or restored feels like a perfect reason to leave this post as both a detailing of what happened and a complaint-riddled “I quit”

Um, since the game update on August 6th when the Wallet was introduced, all gold and currencies are shared across the entire account.

Since August 6th, any gold or currencies a character is in possession of will be added into the account currency pool (wallet) upon logging in with that character.

Since August 6th it has not been possible for anyone to have coin stored individually on characters, it is all pooled together and available to all characters.

You must have purchased something while on your guardian that took your pooled account gold from 61 gold down to 7 or so gold. Review your Trading Post Purchase History to see if you’ve purchased an item that you forgot about, and also check your “Items I’m Buying” (buy orders) as you may have accidentally made or forgotten about placing a buy order for an item.

I repeat, since August 6th, it has been impossible for you and everyone else to partition your gold across characters as once the character is logged into after this date, any currencies or tokens stored on that character have been automatically added into the Account Wallet. So your statement that you left gold in these amounts on your characters, actually shows that you have been spending your pooled gold.

Guardian: 61 gold
Necro: 3-4
Enge: 1-2
Warrior: 3-4
Mesmer: a few silver

So your account gold (all gold acquired by you by any character) went from 61 to 3 or 4 (big purchase), and then down to a few silver (some smaller purchases). Again, review your purchase history and existing buy orders to explain where your gold has gone.
