DakotaCoty.5721 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'll make this simple...Rich people exist...You may ask "why is this relevant?"Some people stack their expensive auras; Liquid Aurillium, Chak Egg Sac, Preserved Queen Bee, Ghostly Infusions.This means these same people, if Auras/Infusions were added to a 'wardrobe' would lose quite a bit of value if they cannot stack their infusions.If infusions work like our current wardrobe system; we could see a potential crash of all expensive infusions.How would ArenaNet help preserve the level of wealth that these infusions require if they are added to a wardrobe, assuming the logic that people are going with is that they act like transmutation charges/any wardrobe feature where you select it in or out once and it's placed in your 'account'.

Arzurag.7506 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I can stack weapons/specific skins in my inventory/bank as well.Adding a wardrobe for infusions or other effects would change little to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwaz.1908 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They could always preserve the infusions/shoulder items that give those auras, while simply adding an extra wardrobe slot for people who have that infusion/shoulder unlocked and want to use the effect on alts or without having to remove their shoulder skin.

Shaaba.5672 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 So because you can't stack seven different infusions with this hypothetical new system, the infusions themselves would lose value? They are not soulbound, right? Sell the ones you won't/can't use anymore. Sure, they would lose value, but I don't think it will be a precipitous crash. Even so, it's not like Anet hasn't radically altered the economy before. PoF launch has seen the crash of oricalcum for reasons I don't understand. (I understand why it crashed, just not sure why we needed so many extra faucets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewcifer.5198 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The wardrobe would just need as many slots as there can be infusions worn at the same time. Or still allow infusions to be worn on armor and have the wardrobe slots be like 2 or 3. That way people can stack EVEN MORE MWAHAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, if i get your stance right, the value would drop if people couldn't stack them.But i personally have one suggestion:An aura slot next to the armour slots. That way they can wear 6 auras at once.The wardrobe is by itself not a bad idea, but requires good implementation.But i have two issues, firstly, are there that many overly rich people? And secondly, is it so bad if the value of auras dropped?I mean.. the only people for whom it would be bad if the price dropped, would be TP flippers, right?

jwaz.1908 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I agree with @Ayakaru.6583, would it really THAT big a deal if these ridiculously priced items dropped? Even 2000g would be a lot for them, and some are around 8000g. Items that only the 1% of the playerbase can afford are not very fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendofzelda.1278 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have an idea make is so you have a wardrobe system for effects but when you make the effect account bound it turns the infusion into a normal plus 9 or 10 infusion. You can also only slot into your 9 or so wardrobe slots how ever many infusion effects you made account bound. So if you made 9 account bound you can slot 9 if only 3 then 3 can be slotted. then have what ever slots for gear effects; so you can still use things like aurora but you don't need to have the effect unless you want it.

But maybe extra slots in the equipment panel that they can be put in without using infusion slots on armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I couldn't care less if they make a wardrobe or not, but if they do I would like a "disable all player auras" option added at the same time.

BeardedVagabond.8136 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ahhh what? If a wardrobe existed EVERYONE would want a check box or an added aura slot to watch armor.

Compare the volume for infusions vs oricalcum and I'd bet that the flood of ori devalued the market way more overall than a few high end items would.
