Guild Wars 2

When they released ascended weapons I was excited to have more things to make for myself, guild mates, friends, and to sell in the AH. I load up the patch only to find they are account bound. Why is that? One of the things that I really liked about this game was unlike WOW (and many other MMOs) you could craft and sell the highest tier items in the game. It made crafting a viable way to make gold and useful to more than just yourself. It also made items available to people that where not interested in crafting but would rather play other parts of the game and use the gold they got to equip themselves. Now there is only one set path to get the highest tier items… you have to craft them yourself. Choices are out the window and now everyone has only one set way to get these items through crafting them for themselves (or get very lucky on a drop and hope it is what they need). That flies in the face of what I liked about this game and that was there where many ways to get the best gear. You could play how you want do what you want and it is still accessible to you. I am very disappointed.
P.S. After waiting for other topics like this I finally just made my own (the only other ones I could find where about how “hard” it is to make ascended items)

The biggest problem that I have with ascended items (that you craft not ones bought) is they are account bound. I would really like the ability to sell ascended crafted items. I mean heck you can sell legendary. I mean what is the point of making money from crafting if you can’t even sell the highest tier of items? That is one of the things I really liked about this game was the ability to sell what I made.

Yeah like attack speed buffs let you do a finisher in 1 sec.. ^^

I agree with this so much and in addition to the reasons already stated above I would like to add this. The game already moves the loot to you but the problem is combat in this game is not static at all (which is a good thing) you are constantly moving, evading ect. So you kill someone or something… it drops the loot at your feet but I’m not even there at that time because I am constantly on the move. Having the game auto dump the look into your bag might sound a little “cheap” but considering the fighting style and combat this game is centered around I think it makes a lot of since and I would love to see this implemented.

This is something that as a player coming from other games such as wow I was kinda shocked by. This game really lacks in the information section. As in I can’t link achievements or see what day I got them. I can’t post achievements that I am working on to my interface so I don’t have to navigate to them every 5 min to see where at stand on them. I also can’t shift click or control click an achievement and show it to a friend of party member. There really is a lot of work that could be done to make that interface better (such as the things stated above). One more thing would be to let you link or share progress with other players on your achievement so they can help you with it and be able to see how you are progressing.

I know one of the best things I liked in the game Runes Of Magic (and really the only thing they did will IMO) was player and guild “housing” Everyone had their own house and could buy (with what would be the equivalent of gems) different housing layout ect. Guilds could also build their own guild castle that had different questing rewards ect in it as well as have a guild castle wars… (they where so fun if it wasn’t buggy and dced you all the time) I have yet to see another game really do this well and it is something that I think would add real money to the backing of this game. (as in buying different housing layout ect) and add more fun to guilds. Also a gvg option in pvp could be fun for some. (of course wvw is I guess where all the people that would be gvg probably are and lets face it.. you can almost never have too many people in there now days.)
