GW2 has one of my favorite trading post setups out of the MMOs I have played. I don't usually bother with the trading post/auction house when in games, but it is so easy here that I take part in it all the time. That said, and not being familiar with the ins and outs of the economy, there is one Game Discussion. Guild Wars 2 Discussion. Gear copying - a solution for multiple characters. For the sake of convince and all things fun, consider this ideaWeapon / Armour copyingAny account bound ascended or legendary item can be copied. These copies can be used on other characters or the same one while the item in question remains where it is. That's the reward. For about 3 to 5 hours, again, like HoT. The times to beat are based on just the story instances and required other steps. Not counting mapping, getting masteries, etc., so just "2nd playthrough". It can be done faster, but not that much faster. Free-to-play accounts can’t purchase items like skins for mounts, and other important aspects. When it comes to free to play vs. paid accounts in Guild Wars 2 , you can exchange Gems for gold, but you cannot buy Gems with gold. But one of the most important premium features in the game, the Trading Post is also restricted. F5KGK.
