Guild Wars 2

marnick.4305:

First you guys should realize most games don’t have collection tabs at all. So just having those is already saving up tons of bag space. The deposit collectibles feature is unheard of. Besides that, ongoing development is required but to an extent.

Don’t misunderstand me, I think the collections tab is a great idea and the fact that I can send collectables to the bank from my backpack was a great feature and one that other games should emulate. However, as someone has already pointed out, if it doesn’t evolve with the content then it becomes less useful.

It only makes sense that if you plan on adding extra slots for the new mini pets then you would also add slots for the new crafting materials…I mean thats the whole point of the collections tab right?

I couldn’t agree more, this is a very frustrating problem for me too. Why create new mats with no where to put them? Why are yellow mats not given a collecion slot? We have to farm thousands of Badges and Tokens but until we use them they’re just backpack clutter…..

To me this seems like either bad planning or a way to encourage people to buy more bank space, which also isn’t very cool.

Sure there is a chance for it to be exploited, but there’s also a good chance that your friend’s account would be banned for hacking….so unless your friend is a moron then it is not a great idea.

Additionally, how is it a guilds fault that one of their member’s accounts got hacked and the guild vault wiped out? The guild will not be reimbursed for any items lost, just as the person who was hacked will not be given their items back.

I honestly believe this is a huge deterrent to players, as it basically says “You’re on your own”. Why would I want to continue playing, only to know that if I am hacked again that I’d have to start all over a third or fourth time? Yes, players need to create strong passwords, and yes they need original passwords that aren’t the same accross all their game/email/etc. accounts. But it happens anyways, and lots of people still get hacked, so its standard in MMOs now days to provide that safty net to the gaming community.

Also, this is not the only situation where Anet does not provide ingame items when it should. There are quests that are broken that do not provide the rewards they promise. A known issue is the lvl 50ish quest that offers a choice of rings with a jewel already slotted into it. But when you exit the story instance, the jewel disappears. This leaves the ring as a poor reward for the level of the quest. Anet knows it is an issue that happens very often and yet they will not replace the missing jewel, even though they can easily see that the ring is missing its suffix(Green item, but unslotted and the last word “ring” is lower case which implies there was a suffix thats now missing).

All in all, I think it’s a very poor customer service choice on Anet’s part not to offer item restoration. Just because a game is free to play doesn’t mean that we, as players, should have no expectations for it.
