I think this needs to be a talked about more, it's long over due that something be done about Charged Quartz Crystals. Originally before we had 4 stat gear, it was designed as a way to limit access to Celestial Stat gear, cause Charged Quartz Crystals are required for that particular Stat. Now no one uses Celestial simply cause we have so many options of 3 stat and 4 stat gear types. My suggestion is not to remove the time gate completely. It's as easy as this. -- Make it so that Places of Power, Commune Hero Points. Can be only used once per day as they are but make it so each individual place of power acts as it's own place of power, and not making it so that if you commune with one the entire lot of them are unusable. Meaning players can travel across the world to different Commune points and keep making more charged Crystals per day than just one. This would encourage that sense of broad zone travel ANet has been trying to accomplish with the later collection in Skyscale anyway. It's a Win for us and a Win for them in Player Traffic.
