I need more specifics on how though? I apparently need 100 gold and 150 Favor to start the Expedition. That much gold is mostly trivial, but I'm at a loss as to how to acquire the Favor solo.

Is there a way to upgrade guilds on your own? Like with gold or gems? I'm not really looking to start a guild, I'd just like my guild to at least get it's guild hall built. At the moment it only serves as a personal bank, of a considerable 150 slots. I don't visit my home instance very often since I'm not particularly fond of 'retreating.' So upgrading that is mostly pointless. And to begin with, I've seen the home instance a thousand times which makes it pretty boring. To me, leaving the map I'm on isn't fun. I would say I'm actually gifted in my ability to get lost. Take me somewhere, spin me around, and I'll head in a new direction every time. Which keeps things pretty fresh and also really crazy... Something which waypointing takes away from. Besides, most guilds work off of outer players leeching off of responsible inner players because many of this game's mechanics simply require numbers. So learning to become one of those pillars that people can leach off of seems, to be the point of this game. Aka, asking this question is time well spent for the approaching end game role of 'leech provider.'

For the sake of convince and all things fun, consider this idea... Weapon / Armour copying Any account bound ascended or legendary item can be copied. These copies can be used on other characters or the same one while the item in question remains where it is. The restriction for them is that they can not be used on a character with the original or same copy already equipped. The alternative atm is to collect multiple sets of armour and/or weapons and equip them on each character, or stop your gameplay to work the logistics of transferring gear from one character to another. Both options are time consuming, anti-immersive, and take away from account progression by repeating steps that are likely identical to what you did before. I could see it done as a premium service where you would buy a heavy/medium/light/omni astral body core, equip it with the items to be copied, then click a button for as many copies as you want. Removing the weapon from the astral body destroys all the copies, since the idea isn't to cheat other mechanics. Its just a short cut mechanic for those that would be transferring gear between characters anyways.

There are plenty of people who enjoy trying to solo kill champions, and legendaries are a step up from that. Successfully killing a legendary solo is one help of an accomplishment in Gw2. The other issue is people starting the bounty thinking others will just show up because they did and help them finish it.

No, people attack legendary because its amusing. There's virtually no penalty for death, so there is no real reason not to if you find it interesting. The only real penalty is for everyone 'else' around you that might enjoy a serious attempt at killing it, and can't because of a twerp that will never get scolded. 2 min of fun for them, could be 30min wait for you.

No bounty on the board means it is on cooldown. It remains up until it is killed or the times elapsed. A cooldown timer would be useful though If that's the case then legendaries are practically on perma cooldown for me.More often then not, someone who can't do them prematurely starts their timers by going to the area and failing. I don't believe the elapsed bounty timer will start until someone either takes the bounty and/or goes to the area. Legendary bosses are difficult to bring down and its even harder to do when trying to coordinate people's time spent in the game with a lack of information.The only reason to do those bounties now is for one time achievements, as other legendary bosses and content are easier to activate. For a good fight, there's always the Encoded Orders. The legendary that spawns for that makes for one hell of a mess.

I think its more a lack of information as to what is going on. Like, if there is no bounty on the board, does that mean someone has it and hasn't gone to the event. Or does it mean the event is on cooldown? If its on cooldown, when should one check the board again? Usually people like to be active, so that means not staying by the board and sucking you thumb to wait for it to pop up again.
