Hey Guys.
I have seen a few of the discussions on transmutation within the suggestion forums – however nothing specifically about accessibility, beside the guy who wanted an exchange system to be able to upgrade transmutation stones, to transmutation crystals. Which is a fantastic idea! However, I just think that transmutation is just not really accessible within game in a manner of speaking.
Although transmutation is quite widely used in a variety of MMO’s – within guild wars, beside grinding chests to find transmutaion crystals, there just isn’t that transmutation that is out there – I am definitely not saying make it free, and definitely not saying make it super cheap… but having transmutation crystals available ingame would really help with people choice to conserve a certain look, over just having gear for stats.
EXAMPLE – I really want to wear some of the Char Cultural Gear – however although 80 for a while I have only been able to collect about 4 or 5 transmutation crystals, which means to maintain that look over the different gear progressions, I would definitely need to come across more BL Keys and Chests. With the Tier 3 pieces ranging from 12gold to 30gold a piece the whole things becomes incredibly expensive! Being able to switch out gear and retain the CoF set look would also be nice…
so you get the jist – I think crystals should be available from in-game vendors, for something a tune of 5g a piece? It’s not super expensive, but it provides another balanced gold sink, that people can run dungeons for their gear and then just have to save 25g to move the set look to another armor set.
Transmutation and looking shiny/spiffy are key parts to most RPG players… and I am sure everyone wants to have the best looking gear (in their opinion) and be able to retain the stats of gear they need… without having to fork over an arm or leg.
please make transmutation more accessible and in the scale of things at the moment… a little cheaper (but not too CHEAP!)

The 100-200 reports give a greater bracket for someone to just report you because they don’t like what your saying in /map. Using 1 report to suspend all communications is way to easy for abuse and you would spend your life going through reports and chasing people who abuse the system. Think about it…. if it only took 1 report, what is to stop anyone from just cutting you off because they disagree. Trying to convince about 100 people to report you takes a little more argument – and people reporting gold spammers in /map can easily get up to 100+
The point was to give the community some power without making is too easy to abuse, as I said… it’s harder to kitten off 200 people in /map than just one single person who knows they can shutdown your communication with one report.
This could definitely work using your ‘light ban’ idea… however it has to be consistent number so that someone cannot abuse the system easily. 200 reports against your account in 24hrs is good enough for a red-flag. 1 is just too little.

As a Yak’s player, I have seen strong support and acknowledgement of Blackwater Vanguard response to this on our guild official forums… of which I am not allowed to name due to being a peon, but we were glad to see the strong response and responsibility by Blackwater Vanguard – and congratulate their leader on such an adamant and strong response.
We are doing very well as a community in rooting out those that wish to ruin our fun.

Hey Players (of the video game type, if you are of the other type… good for you!)
REPORTING matters, it is the sub-policing of the game by its own players. It gives us the option to alert A-net to problems in the game… however when you may have a staff capacity of 500+ and a gaming community of a BAGILLION.. then a couple thousands of reports are hard to sift through and act on.
SUGGESTION: The reporting system, should have an AUTO-ACCOUNT BAN function on it, my current idea is that should an account receive 200 reports within 24hrs, then the account should be automatically suspended. I find that it would be semi-difficult to kitten off 200 people for simply being a kitten in any of the main channels. Maybe 100, 150 tops with your annoying trolling – However if the consent became that MASS REPORTING of spammers, scammer, gold sellers; automatically suspended and removed a BOT/SCAMMER from the game… it would become more active and a part of game culture to report and remove problematic accounts.
on the FLIP-SIDE, if your got auto suspended by the community – it would be less work to re-activate a few accounts, than ban a few thousand accounts. This system may be open to some abuse, it is definitely not iron-clad and the cap could probably be adjust to something like 500 depending on the actual amount of times a problems account gets reported in 24hrs on average. However I genuinely feel the majority of help can outweigh the minority of abuse – possibly because I feel I have never done anything kitten off 200 people on my server (although I think on the activation of this system, i may be the first to feel the sting of abuse… for the sake of irony i guess, although I am prepared for that, and I feel that if I can’t put up with the brunt of my own system, I have no right suggesting it. Let the cards fall as they may.).
Feel free to throw in your views, ideas or suggestions for the idea I had come up with. Please understand fully, that suggestion and opinion belong to the poster, you are in no way forced to swallow anyone’s opinion or suggestion, and it will only have account if you make it have account towards you. You may disagree, or have a different idea – but that in no way makes someone else’s idea wrong in anyway – personal attacks and arguments toward people only weaken your position, discussion with open consideration and disagreement give credit to your idea and suggestions.

sidenote: I skimmed over the forum rules and missed that ‘petition’ type posts were a big no-no. so embarrassed!

Hey Players (of the video game type, if you are of the other type… good for you!)
This is a petition to adjust the REPORTING function so that it has more meaning than the current system.

PETITION: so, if you agree with this system, or feel that parts of this suggestion may be worthy of A-net looking into. Please drop a /signed or anything representing your agreement. If you disagree with this, and feel that maybe the backlash of abuse of such a system – please do not tab in a post, as the success of this petition will account for the replies.
Discussion: If you disagree with this system, or have an opinion on this system feel free to discuss it in the discussion thread. Discussion: Make REPORTING matter!

I agree. I am having so much trouble getting some skill points that are guarded by a veteran as for the constant resets. The current strategy I use is to swim onto the skill point – and then when the veteran resets, I just attune myself and get out.
I have tried many, many, many, many, many times to kill them – as it makes me feel like i have actually earned it. but… i gave up after dying a few times because after each reset would see me with more abilities on cooldown.
One that was particulary frustrated was the underwater skill point near the Royal Froum POI in Straits of Devastation.
