Game of Bones.8975 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The contract would be good for 1- or 2-weeks giving a person 7 or 14 crafted items. The character would already have to be capable to craft the item. The materials would be removed from inventory at the beginning of the contract, so they could not be sold or used in other crafting projects. My reason for thinking of this change is simple; as a player I sometimes forget these items and are set back that many days in crafting (that’s my issue) and I go out of town periodically and am not able to log in to do those simple things (so it’s a QoL issue). At first I was dead against it, but a grand-master craftsman would have people working for them while they are out gathering additional materials or whatever.

Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Are you meaning an NPC service? Or do you mean paying an actual player to do it? If so, they can just add crafting boards like in PSO2 where a player can put in a request for someone to craft something for them. Give them the materials and/or cost to do it and then the person with the high enough craft can craft it for them. The person who takes on the request gets a little money for the service (this is done through the game and not the actual requester so the requester don't have to pay more than they have to). Completely computerized and no way to scam anyone. No 1 to 2 week thing either. Can be indefinite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I mean NPC; otherwise it would be the same as putting the items on the trading post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference is you can't do that with account bound crafting items though. I mean everything that you can craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottsgman.8206 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 just to clarify: by 'pay' do you mean with gems or gold? also would the crafted things be given once a day, as long as you have the mats available on your account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STIHL.2489 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nope.. and I'd take it as a move by Anet to just gouge us. I am sure some people would love the idea, but for me is would cement the drive to find something else to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I probably wouldn't but I am sure there is players who would. The time gated crafting has always been a bit of a sore spot for many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 GW2 rewards you in various ways for playing daily, for a reason. Part of the purpose of time-gated crafting is to motivate players to play often and to collect mats. Allowing you to benefit without logging in runs contrary to the whole idea.

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Interesting. My first response is to say yes, but I can see how it could turn ugly real quick. So . . . probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilightSoul.9048 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'd actually pay 20€ for an NPC that does all the crafting for me in exchange for gold and mats (in addition to the initial 20€ to unlock him) so I'll never have to spend a second thinking about crafting in GW2 again, this terribly crafting system has made me take breaks from GW2 countless times already and is the sole reason why I still haven't finished any legendary weapon after over 5 Years. So it's a yes from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well since I have over 100 of each bound material and help guildies and friends with their timegated crafting this would hurt my good guy status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
