I completely disagree with this idea! Not only from the perspective of loss of value ( I have multiples just like Mongo that I paid plenty for) But also from the stand point of role playing and character building. I consider my alts to be separate. I build them all different. Equip them different. The only sharing they do is with the skills,items and coin/EP that are not bound. Even if the sharing of those were eliminated, I would not be to upset. If I like and use a particular pet or emote everyone gets one. Would be a pain to have to run to the vault every little bit to return them so another alt could use. Needing only one pet/emote for all alts would drastically reduce the amount of EP/gold that I have spent with other players. Because that is what I spend the most on. Vary rarely purchase components from other players. Unless I have a special need for an item.

What do you mean by having multiples? Do you have the same ability (emote/pet) learned by more than one of your alts, or do you just have multiple scrolls of the same thing? If it's the scrolls then it's simple, you can sell them.

What do you mean your alts share skills? That's not even possible.

Pets and emotes are abilities, not items. You wouldn't have to keep putting them through the vault. Scrolls are items, abilities are not, and what we're saying in this thread is that emote and vanity pet abilities should be shared by alts of the same account.

Yeah, I'd like that too. There's no way I'm gonna pay for the same emote or pet twice, so my alts pretty much have none, and the coin flip emote and goblin pet etc can only be obtained by one character anyway. Should be account-wide, really.

All +Ranged foods require fished and farmed items, and fishing and farming are the most tedious of gathering professions. There's no logical reason why rangers should be eating fish that much, it'd be easy to switch some recipes.

I'm a ranger and I've been levelling my cooking, I can make +20 Melee and +20 Sorcery foods using raspberries only (plus purchased components), but for +20 Ranged food I need 2 bass and 2 onion and 1 pepper for each. That's crazy. Don't even want to think about Cooked Mackerel...

IMO, 'Need' should simply be disabled for Gems, Remnants and Flakes.  That would deal with 90% of the problem, not require a lot of talk-talk for random groups*, and it's easy to code.  If you want to give one of the above to a particular group member, then everybody else should "Pass" on it.

 

(*Or maybe disabled for LFG-mediated random groups only.)

Or this, yeah. Pass and want for gems, rems, and flakes; pass, want and need for equips.

Drop "greed", it's confusing to everyone who isn't familiar with the system.

especially as a mage with those ugly hoods 

 

a ha ha 

Like the crafted metal and leather helms are any prettier 

As said above, you can buy an invisible hood (and other invisible clothes...) from the Loyalty section of the Eldevin Market.

You could also equip a paper hat (if you don't have one, I think some people are still willing to give those away or sell for cheap), or if you can then buy some vanity head equipment with EP. I bought a bandana, at least it claims to be a bandana but it's just wrapped around your eyes, with holes for eyes so you can see, it's pretty much the same or even cooler than the invisible hood.

Isn't the good feeling of having helped someone an incentive enough?  Man, I wouldn't want someone to think I'm only helping them for my own benefit.

Summary of my opinion: yes, totally agree there should be more/better/different ways to acquire prestige points, and yes, totally agree that getting the prestige vanity items should be a LONG-term goal that takes dedication and hard work, so you're not gonna see 50% of players running around in full prestige sets, because that would suck.
 

Maybe something similar will be back with every special event? Like cracking eggs at easter!

Also I, for one, cannot play during holidays. Not easily, at least. So what of the players that face the same problem as I, and cannot acquire prestige points easily during the holidays?

The winter event lasted for three weeks (18 December to 8 January), and I assume other events will also last long enough so everyone who wants to should be able to find some time to participate. 
 

In fact, if professions could acquire more prestige points as well it would take less emphasis off of dungeons and leveling. 

This! Like has been said in other threads, levelling crafting skills should be more rewarding, and one way to do it could be... well, something that rewards prestige points (more than just the level-up-in-any-skill daily quest), and maybe rewards something else too (or a choice of different rewards including prestige). I got the idea that maybe (on higher levels?) you can craft certain items that will not be usable/equippable by players, but you can sell it to NPC factions who require the stuff -- like the Eldevin Army might need a certain style of armor pieces and equipment (the silver-green stuff that they usually wear), and the Arcane Council might have a demand for Arcane Council-style robes and stuff, etc. Being awarded Prestige Points for this makes sense since you're directly working for the factions. Though of course it shouldn't be too easy, which is why I'm suggesting this for higher crafting levels, also the grinding can be slowed down by having a limit to how much demand the factions have for the stuff, so they're not willing to buy an endless amount of things every day. ... Just a fleeting idea.  
 

I like this idea, however, what about players who do not complete quests? I know of a few, who would rather grind dungeons than touch quests, again.

People who don't do story quests don't deserve nice things.
 

Yes it's only vanity, however if the set was available "easily" it would make some casuals less interested in purchasing vanity, since they'd be content with their free easy-to-obtain set.

^Good argument.
 

That was not an option when lev 40 aoe mages hoarded the lev 15 spawn the entire time. Events won't do it because the bored max lev, fully geared (obsessive compulsive) players ruin it for the casual players.

 

That's not true. During the event my level was too low to venture out of the level 10 areas so that's where I was grinding, and I don't remember there being a time where I couldn't find a place to grind in peace. Server-hopping was necessary sometimes, but like after the first ten days or so the whole event area started getting more empty of players, and I could do as much grinding as I wanted to.

Not saying that it wasn't often a challenge to get a good spot, I remember Jack especially being a nuisance quite often.  Frying ten lvl 10 snowmen in the cave in one second with his leet lvl 40 skillz, so there wasn't much left for me. When I ran into him I just hopped servers or grinded outside of the cave.

I just got there recently and wondered about the same thing.

Can you explain Rested XP??? How does some one use it.. I have like 22% now...

It just makes you gain more experience when you're playing and doing your usual things.

although I don't condone bots if you completely eradicated bots this game would die off. No one can name a successful mmo that has no bots.

Lies and slander!

Totally disagree. We don't need yet another game that makes females look "sexy" instead of "prepared for combat".

All of the gear I've worn so far has been of a feminine cut so to speak (following the curves), men look different in the same gear. That suffices for me.

I just use a pen and paper to keep track of those things. >.>

The "Forestry" places are where there's a forestry bench that you can use.

All of the people who give dailies are clearly named "Apprentice [Profession] Trainer". If all 14 of them were located in or near Eldevin City, it would be a little too convenient, too easy.

You can travel to Roshaven for the Fishing, Foraging, and Forestry trainers; or to Nidaros for all of those and the Farming trainer. Another Farming trainer close to Eldevin City is in the farm in Crystal Coast.

EDIT: Just noticed you're level 40 so you probably know this stuff. 

I'm guessing gathering is meant to be a tedious and time-consuming activity, so only those that are dedicated to their profession will get anywhere. I'd also echo that botting is against the rules and also unfair to us that gather from moving targets (animals).

I agree that in general it's important to make things accessible for people with disabilities, but with things like games and hobbies it starts to get a little complicated. If I was in a wheelchair I wouldn't expect the gameplay of soccer to be adapted for me. Being able to click a lot is kind of a necessary ability for a computer game.

Busy people are better off playing casual games, like Farmville or whatever, or bought games where their entire time playing is full of action and which they can play or not play at any time, like Assassin's Creed and such. There's something out there for everyone.
