Can Anet please make it so you cannot turn in a book for a title you have maxed?

I just finished a book, and went to Gunnar's Hold, cause that's the Norn home base. And I wasn't thinking and I turned it into the Dwarven guy instead....a FULL book.

I'm already maxed on Dwarven...but he took it anyway.

Yes, it's my fault. But it's dumb they allow that for maxed titles.

some people like to just keep adding to a title and turning books in is the fastest way to do.

Never realized you could do that. A warning box, at least, would be nice.

I think the warning box is a good idea.

An another note, I once dyed a bag black when I was trying to change bags, before they had the pop-up combo system. That really ticked me off.

That's one mistake I don't want to make...

Boy, I really hope it wasn't a complete HM Dungeon Guide. If so... I really hate it for ya!

But yeah, /signed. I can't really blame Anet for missing something like this, though. But I can blame them if they don't fix it! :P

Yeah, /signed

Would be pretty upset if that happened to me, especially if it's a completed HM Dungeon book. Although i usually double check everything, a warning box would be ace.

Aw... that hurts just by hearing it.

Once you max all 4 titles, they should not take the books and let you use the book for another character.

Yeas, it should work like that.

Just suppose, for some reason, I wanted to add more points to that title after hitting max. With the above suggestion I couldn't. Too limiting, IMO. A simple notification would be much better.

And ..... NO! That should NOT let you use them for another character.

Sorry but im gonna have to be cruel here!

How can you not tell the difference between a 4 foot drawf and an 8 foot Norn?

I can see your frustration, but im sure there are some reasons why Anet allows you to continue contributing handbooks even if you max the title for that race.

Oh, they have statistics that keep track of that. Remember when they showed the players with the higher values of Lightbringer and Sunspear?

A PvE ladder? XD

Other than that, I can't think another reason with the data I currently have.

I think this belongs in Sardalac - or maybe the "your worst self-ownage" thread.

But yeah, a warning would be a good idea. You should still be able to apply points if for some reason you want to, so it should be a warning and not a block.

I imagine the reason would be to continue getting the money and experience, besides that I dunno
