Guild Wars 2

I have just noticed that Chaos of Lyssa Backpack is Account Bound on Acquire AND Soulbound on Use which is against the existing rule that Ascended Gear is only Account Bound. Please, ANET fix this on your next update. Thanks.

This is also the case with Light of Dwayna backpiece, i infused it and suddenly it becomes soulbound on use and because i chose the stats on the character i upgraded it on i now cant move it to the main character it was intended for.

Wow. You actually expect Anet to stick to some kind of guiding principles, or concepts?

I can tell you weren’t here for the pre-release marketing hype. You would have heard some really good ones back then. There were concepts like “horizontal progress” and statements like “Anet doesn’t make grindy games”.

Why, I could just slap my knee over how well we all got taken in by those things.

And I could just groan for hours about the exaggerations and twisted viewpoints some players have to make up Anet-hate posts…..

I’m sure they will fix it, but since the change will likely be retroactive (they changed all other Ascended gear to Account bound with a patch), I doubt it’s an immediate priority for anyone.

#fanboi!

This thread is justified as it’s an “out of rules” issue. And yes, having changed the rules and injecting vertical progression with Ascended gear is a justified complaint too. Even adding the Laurel system and the recent focusing on widespread account binding are changes to the economic meta. All changing the rules and are a justifiable complaint.

The laurels. If I had known in advance about that? Pffffffuuuuiiii……

The mystic coin as a daily reward is and was just fine. Nobody complained about it because it was at least useful for some really nice looking stuff, and it is tradeable.

Why couldn’t we have a mystic coin vendor who sells all the cool stuff the laurel vendor sells? Although I admit that the prices might have to be different because the coins are tradeable. So what?

Why did they have to add yet another currency to the game? And why do they keep doing that? Over and over again? Yet another currency has become a crutch.

Yeah….winky name calling is SOOO KEWL!!!

My point is if you think they did this on purpose and it will not be fixed, WHY are you still playing this game? If you think so little of ANet, please move on and spare the rest of us your tin-foil hat hyperbole……

I NEVER implied the complaint wasn’t valid….it’s obviously a bug, but it will likely get fixed and it’s not stopping anyone from continuing to play the game. So you can’t pass the stupid back piece to another character for a few weeks…..that is NOT a game halting issue.

The entire economic model of this game is based on selling gems and to do that, players MUST be logged in (for the most part). The sooner you realize this is NOT going to change, you will take whatever actions needed to make yourself a happier gamer.
