Guild Wars 2

A lot of the stuff you can craft at 500 (for my knowledge), is account bound so you won’t be able to sell it. That being said, for a lot of that stuff crafting is also the only way to obtain it, so if you want any of the stuff for 500 crafting skill you need to make it yourself.

I think the biggest example of this for any of the armor professions is ascended armor with a specific prefix. For example, on my ranger I want ascended with Valkyrie. Since you cannot find that anywhere, I’m upping my leatherworking to 500 so I can make it myself. Sure, it’s not a fast process, but it’s something I can work towards while I’m doing other things.

Quick Notes: Looking for mature players who understand that jobs and relationships come first but still want to have a seriously good time playing GW2. We have a TeamSpeak server for chat, and will have a forum in the near future.

I like the idea of alternate payment methods, at least as a brainstorm to lessen the repair costs. Another idea that struck me is an underdog buff for the server—you could even tie it into the “Outnumbered” buff I’ve seen a couple times. Then when your server is obviously outnumbered (and thus can be expected to see more deaths), your repair cost is reduced by 75%, or maybe entirely.
