Guild Wars 2

before u could move legendaries to other characters, but not sure about now

this was the scariest patch note.

ive played this game a lot. ive farmed the tp for the money i needed, and ive grinded a whole bunch for random stuff.

for most things, the ‘you got no patience son/y u want tings handed to u’ people are correct. a lot of stuff can be earned several ways with reasonable work.

there are, however, exceptions. charged lodestones and precursors are the most obvious examples of this atm. i believe they need to be addressed.

what most people dont understand tho, is that its going to just get worse. this mostly applies to the ‘i realize my legendary will take 2 years to get’ crowd. if waht you need is your precursor, and its currently 500g, you need to consider that months from now, because of manipulation/gold farming/inflation/supply+demand, it could easily be 1000+ gold. my friends have seen this happening to them, where the cost of the item is increasing faster than they can get gold. (like i said, i farm the tp for the money i need so it hasnt been an issue for me, i see expensive stuff and think its not worth it, not that i cant get it) but for others, an item could be unobtainable forever because of trends like this. u might think, well it will have to top out at some pt, and it may, but thats not a 100% guarantee, who knows how the influences i listed above will screw with this economy in the long term, and john might decide to address the situation in a way that doesnt benefit you.

hopefully the upcoming changes slow down the incredible rate at which the cost of precursors is increasing at

PS dont give up on us john <3

I tried searching for an answer but did not find anything. I thought that maybe since the item was so rare that maybe the devs didnt know about it…

I recently bawt a perma BL merchant for my guildies and me to use when were doing dungeons. Because the consumable BL merchant is usable by teammates I did not even consider that the perma one would not, so it came as a shock when i busted it out on its maiden voyage and only i could use it! the primary reason i bawt it was as a contribution to the guild

is this a bug or intended? I certainly hope its a bug

also r the other perma BL items only useable by the owner?

i sold a legendary on the TP, and one of the realistic bids to buy a legendary is mine…

but that isnt the purpose of this thread

right now a legendary is soulbound on use, which means its only for that one character. meaning if i craft a legendary shortbow, and my two mains are a thief and ranger, i have to choose which gets the dreamer. i would pay good money to be able to have my dreamer be account bound and be able to move it between the two characters

EDIT: also, it is not more efficient to just craft any legendary u want. 100% map completion takes a lot of time, and if someone wants say 5 legendaries, they would have to do 3 100% completions. thats why im buying the next legendary i want, the stuff u cant buy (badges, karma, gift of exploration etc) makes it worth it to buy the legendary at some prices.

it was just a rumor floating around map chats. nothing official, thats why im asking

EDIT: this was a reply to a post that i guess was deleted when the thread was moved. it stated roughly that i was dreaming when i heard that they might become account bound

Has there been any official word on this? i remember hearing about it a while ago and have been wishing for it more and more as time goes on.

the idea being you can move your legendaries to your alts so you can use it on any toon that uses that weapon

it would def be a ‘shutup and take my money’ scenario

EDIT: this thread got moved to suggestions by a moderator.

if there hasnt been any official comment on this topic, then i suppose i do highly suggest it, but the purpose of this thread was to find out if there had been any dev comments made about the idea.

if you are a dev and are reading this, what do u think about the idea? has it been considered? if it has been considered, why did you ultimately decide against it?

another solution is to combine MF with tokens

ur saying it sux to feel like ur not making progress? i agree.

so instead of 1/1billion chance of getting dusk

make dusk cost x MF tokens, and give MF 1/3 chance of dropping token instead of rare/exotic

this way u can always feel like you are getting closer instead of throwing money away

i didnt mind wvw for 100% completion at first. i was able to get my main through it all during the one day turnaround cycles in a few days. it wasnt that big of a deal. but now that im working on my alts+1 week cycles, its become excruciatingly daunting. it will be even worse when the two week cycles start.

now i do think they need to address it in some way.

i was hoping there had been news from a dev at some pt =\

does anyone know yet =(

I want to PvE on server A, and WvW on server B. so i have my account on server B. right now guesting is disabled so i cant test my question.

if i guest to server A for PvE, will i get the guild benefits of the guild (housed on server A) that i am currently a part of and representing?

ie guild bank access/buffs/etc
