pls stay on topic
i was thinking about all the different items like glowing hearts shiverpeak manes and the like well what if there was a char that uses these items as spell components and has a more powerful attack than a elementalist for

example
useing a glowing heart and a 5 bones a person could create temporary undead minions (when i say temporary i mean a whole mission or something)
note there will b a NPC who would sell components for a cheap price

give suggestions if u have an idea complament if u like the idea with no suggestions and if u dont like it pls post suggestions not flame

And how would this work in PvP? These are PvE exclusive components you're talking about. Part of what makes Guild Wars work is that skills are balanced across PvE and PvP, and PvPers would have no way of collecting these material components.

Also, as ArenaNet has often stated, Guild Wars is not about 'preparing to have fun'. Farming for material components is exactly that: you are forced to partake in a mundane activity before being able to use the full extent of your character. This is why this suggestion shouldn't, and I predict won't, be implemented in Guild Wars.

Bad idea. Reagents just force you to grind in order to play, just like Silmor said.
