Guild Wars 2

Just having some thought and ideas about stuff I would be interested in seeing implemented (or implemented better) about Guild Wars 2. Now if some of what I have posted below is already implemented or I have missed how to do it, let me know please.

CRAFTING

Having achieved Master Crafter after a ton of farming and a fair bit of AH madness, several things occurred to me during the process.

Suggestions

• Be able to see ALL crafts you have done. Even if a craft is not your current “active”, you should be able to see what the recipes are and what you have learned in ALL the crafts you have participated in.
• Change the cost for switching crafts. In the current economy, almost NOONE will pay you 40s to switch crafts to craft something for them. This is hindering those of us who learned multiple crafts and wish to perhaps make some money out of it.

Bug Fix

• If you have one craft higher level than another, when you are at the workstation for the LOWER craft, it by default shows you all the crafts that are too high level for you currently. And not just the ones within 5-10 levels, but ALL of them, especially refinements/enhancements. The real bug is that you cannot hide them with the dropdown, as it is grayed out. To work around this, you need to hit H and go through your character screen to the higher level craft and make the changes there. Silly and annoying.

DUNGEONS

Suggestions

• Please finetune dungeons a bit. Some of the fights are ridiculously hard, while some are incredibly simple. There is very little balance. Some paths are just not really doable unless you have that perfect group synergy. And even then, luck plays too much of a part sometimes.
• LFG. Make this useful. Allow us to be specific in what we want to look for group for (eg. dungeon explore, dungeon specifics, questing, zone, farming) and allow it to be searched globally.

UI and MAPS

Suggestions

• Allow actions/emotes to be done on the move, even if it is just the emote aspect.
• Allow emotes. /em is fun.
• Allow targets for emotes.
• Please allow us to see our own name/title/icons. After getting the title Master Crafter, I cannot even see what it looks like.
• Allow titles to be icons. Like you get the star for explorer, it would be nice if the one for “master crafter” was a hammer or something. etc.
• Please make the fog of war actually DARK so we can see it. When exploring you have no idea if you have actually discovered something sometimes.
• Some more information in character pane would be nice. Magic Find specifically.

GOLD SPAMMERS

Suggestions

• Please use that ban hammer a little faster. I am sure it would not be hard to write a script that parses for certain goldselling websites. Put some variations in it and some wildcarding, and if you see someone say it more than 10-15 times, temp-ban them until a GM can actually review it.
• When you report someone, please add the option to automatically /block them too

CLASS: RANGER

Suggestions

• Trap ground targeting range is way too short. I loves my longbow. I loves my traps. However they are mutually exclusive in terms of using range. Even with the trap ground targetable trait, the range is so short you lose all advantage of the 1500 longbow trait. (and yes i know that the distance trait has a damage boost aspect too).
• Pet damage colors. Can we color pet damage differently so we can see how much our pet actually does.
• Trait descriptions. A lot of pet traits where “on crit” or “on this or that” are poorly written. Are they “on ranger critting” or “on pet critting”?

GUILD

Suggestions

• Please separate permissions for invite and kick.
• Guild Halls!

Bug Fix

• Ignoring someone (block) is in turn ignored by guild chat.

COSMETICS/TRANSMUTING

Suggestions

• Make tonics a collectible.
• Allow you to “save” a look for an item. For instance I have a mystic longbow – the blue bow with the lightning. Now if I change it, I have lost forever that blue lightning look. The only way around it realistically is to create a 2nd weapon with a different look if you do want to keep both looks.
• Allow town clothing to be defaulted on (should you wish) when you walk into a town.

Well that’s it for now. Loving this excellent game. Does anyone else have issues that wish to have added to the list?
