Orichalcum dropping. Here's why.

A mining pick usable on level 1s, that mines Orichalcum. Account bound. Bought with Karma.

A pain for normal people to run level 1s to that rich node without an escort, sure. Still worth doing. But for people who can teleport there instantly? An infinite make character->mine->delete->repeat cycle for endless ore.

Now for the golden question. Is this an exploit you’re going to ban people for, or should we start stocking up and escorting our friends to the node? To me, it seems like these being account bound is a major oversight. I’m posting here to either get this fixed, or be given the ‘OK’ to do it.

I’m aware of this issue, and keeping track of it.

I’m not currently aware of any behavior that I would classify as an exploit.

I see this as permission to create characters with my my last 3 alt slots, then have them escorted to the rich node by my friend. From there they will never leave, only going to WvW occasionally to drop by the bank and pick up more mining picks from the endless supply of karma on my main.

I will take you to your word, and hope you simply tell me otherwise if your classification changes.. rather than ban me later.

It would be better if you purchased 10-15 extra character slots to do this.
