please remove the 5 limit use on star of gratitude

I have over 15 stacks of empyreal fragments, and most of the time I even forget to use it on a daily basis.I don't see what is the point of having 5 uses daily. The rewards it gives are trash, and the only usefull thing it does is to get rid off the annoying empyreal fragments occupying space in your bank. Let us use it any times to consume any amount of emypreal fragments.

It's a way of limiting earnings from people who spam the same content. I think a more sustainable solution would be adding a vendor value, perhaps 1c each or even 1c per 10.

In the meantime, there's a much easier solution for you if you think the rewards are trash: delete excess stacks.

You get 5 uses out of yours? mine only lets me do four.

Move all the shards and the star onto a character you don't use often and make logging into them and using the star 5 times part of your routine when you first log in. Once you've cleared the backlog you can just use it as and wgen you need to.

And if you get them so fast you're never going to clear them all or it's not worth doing that you can always just delete the extras. You can always get more if you do need them.

This. This is what really needs to change. It's a random limit between three and five every day which is just plain dumb at this point. Gleam of Sentience is so much better being an actual fixed limit of six that you can see.

I keep all those gobbles on my lv 49 char, at least trash salves into t4 mats ;)

From my personal experience, it varies between 3-5 uses.

Ah, ive never had 3, i always get 4, think ive seen 5 once since i got the thing the first few days of this year.

I think (theory anyway) it goes off account age with 5 being the max. One of my alts was only able to do 3 uses until recently being promoted to 4, which coincides with the account age, but my main has been able to do 5 for quite some time and it's a 6 year old account.

But, really who knows, maybe it's just luck in my case, I typically fill up on emp about the same time on all accounts so its quite obvious something is at play when I clear a stack on one account and only clear 150 on another account everytime I try it.

(Oops, nevermind.... misread.)

It's 3-6 uses. Folks who have kept track for a few months in a row have recorded averages close to 4.5For the purposes of the OP's question, I think it's fair to say "5 use limit." It's technically inaccurate, but it's close enough to the truth to illustrate the OP's suggestion.

You can craft condi food with it, or also use it with Gleam of Sentience

Then it would have to be changed on Mawdrey, Princess, the Singularity, and KhanUr knows what other Gizmos for fairness.

Or here's a crazy idea. Have you tried.. REMEMBERING?

• All we need now is something to consume Airship Oil.

Given that the materials these gobblers eat are account bound, it does raise the question of why they have limits at all? If players are getting too many rewards from the gobbler, that's an indication that the stars/ore/dust drops too frequently....

Go play something else, and you might suddenly get more bloodstone dust or dragonite ore, which you can feed to different feeders that have individual limits.

Unless there is a sizeable group that daily feed the available feeders and still accumulates more of all three materials than they can use up there isn't really a case for ANet to change anything. They put those materials on different kinds of content so people who want to craft ascended are motivated to play different kinds of content (in a way it is similar to legendary, where you have to do all kinds of content for your materials, too). The eaters were an afterthought for people who had already filled all their ascended needs, but they were never meant as a serious source of loot. If you feel the need to "get more", branch out and seek different kinds of content that comes with different loot.

Come on, who farms empyreal fragments of bloodlust? Those rewards are so abundant that every player gets them in any game mode by the thousands. You also are overwhelmed by them when you open trick bags in Halloween or gifts in wintersday.

I don't think there is a single player in GW2 that will say "Oh, today i am going to farm empyreal fragments..."

I have found myself low on Empyreal Fragments and thus farming Ember Bay, Draconis Mons and Sandswept Isles. This was however not the point of Rasimir's post. They stated that if you get so much of one specific material, take that as a nudge to diversify what content you play, getting a more even spread of materials, thus spreading the eating to different gobblers.

Maybe without a limit people would stop contributing to their guilds material efforts?

Also, vision crystals drop from them.
