Guild store trash

With the upcoming Witches Festival and incoming wave of Hollowjack garbage flooding the guild stores it had me wondering, why not make clearly trash items account wide and no longer drop?

I know there is one camp strongly against account wide benefits, and in some regards I agree, but this is not a benefit, it is more overcoming a burden.

For instance:
If the Hollowjack motif was account wide and you have collected them all, the motif should then gets removed from the loot table and you have an increased chance of getting Hollowjack style traits. If the market is flooded with Hollowjack style traits they'll dry up pretty quick in daily writs should they sell under 15g.

That way, people that don't have Hollowjack yet can get it in the week with a higher drop rate chance, and we don't have to spend the next 2-3 months swimming in HJ motifs.

The same could be done with recipes, the garbage recipes. Garbage recipe - Any recipe that is sub CP160 and not unique (event / quest given)

If all Green tier non-unique recipes, all sub CP160 Blue / Purple non-unique were account wide for the simple fact that CP grade recipes that are not the highest tier will never get used ever again and Level 1-50 if alts had access to them can use them to craft their own food and level prov. Right now, as it stands, leveling prov is just a matter of spamming food out for no reason, and you don't even get to give it to the homeless.

It would be nice if 'garbage recipes' dropped at any level and once read never drop again. Doing daily writs and opening urns will eventually net you all the garbage recipes that you will never use anyway, and they'll never hit the guild stores.

The reason I'm opposed to trash filling up guild stores is because they are slow enough as is. Sifting through page after page of garbage is painful.

No, because motifs and recipes both have a bearing on master writ drop rates. Therefore you have to purposely learn them on alts to increase your chance of master writs.

As long as its not the same HJ motifs I have a tonne of in my bank I've yet to ship off

Just teach all cheap motifs to your alts, same for recipes... yeah, a lot of micromanagement with questionable profit. Well, you can always drop them in the guild bank

And there is a thing called "DESTROY" also. just saying.

I am against account wide, for the reason of Master Writs.
Yes its a pain to take the time to feed all them motifs to all your alts, or is it just joy of another kind. Maybe there is pleasure in seeing all them alts greedily absorb the motifs and recipes, and earn them achievements.

Different people enjoy different things, isn't that what I am constantly being told.

The excess is what makes up for the drop rate -- the net overflow helps people get what they can't find, either because of bad luck or not enough time to grind. So in a way you ARE supposed to get it and get rid of it through "social channels" such as your Friend List, Guild Roster, or Guild Store.
This is basically the same for super rare stuff like Aetherial Dust and the Imperial Motif -- with so many players getting chances, it's bound to drop some time for someone, without having to adjust the drop rate and flooding the market.

The answer is simple. We get new players on the game constantly. Even some existing players might have missed the event before.

Your idea literally ensures they can’t get those items anymore.

Don’t want anymore, destroy it. Simple solution.

This - one players trash is another’s treasure.

A year is a long time in game- plenty of new players and new alts who will benefit from the event drops. You can help out guildies and friends with theirs, too - that’s always a cool thing to do.

Personally, I keep any excess stowed away for new alts - easy full motif helping with the MW chances.
