Personalized Quest Items

I'm really fed up with all these people/scammers selling Altheas Ashes, Jotaros letter and now even elonian mirriors. Please Anet, make quest items customized to end all the trading between people too damn lazy to play the game.


(worst thing is, the part about selling elonian mirriors is true, seen people do it in the marketplace...)

Why would you care what someone else does in the game that in no way effects you?

They are doing nothing wrong, and certainly aren't "scamming" people because they are offering something you don't want.

You could just ignore those "people too damn lazy to play the game" as you call them and move on.

lol, Elonian Mirrors.

This isn't scamming. It's a fair form of trade for people who are, as you have just said, too lazy to play the game.

Exactly how trading elonian mirriors isn't scamming is beyond me. They have no use what so ever unless you have the quest, and when you get the quest you also get the three mirrors needed to complete it.

But ok, maybe scamming is a bad word, exploiting new players might be a bit better. Selling the letter for 4k (seen peope advertise with "WTB kidnapped letter 2-4k" several times), selling the mirrors for whatever amount etc. is all about taking advantage of new players.

Dude its not taking advantage of people. Experianced playes who have beaten the game may not want to do the quest.

New players should do quests anyway.

If anything the players ellling them are smart for finding ways to make quick cash

As long as the seller is honest about what the item exactly is and BOTH the seller and the buyer agree on the price, it is not scamming.

If someone said they were selling Naga Pelt and instead sold you a Naga Hide, then THAT is scamming.

It's quest item trading and running that made this game feel like an actual PVP game rather than a PVE game. Once you go through, you discover that you can just get characters through with relative ease. Unfortunately they got rid of running in factions, but hopefully they'll bring it back in later editions when they see people are unhappy.

I already retracted the use of the word scamming

I'm not a fan of running either, and I'm very glad they got rid of it in Factions. To me, getting rid of running and customizing quest items are two of the same, they both allow players to quickly rush through the game in a way not intended by story continuity.
