zephyr rucksack skin account bound
>why is my zephyr rucksack skin account bound (and green)?
Because that’s the item you exchanged your ticket for. It’s like asking why my dungeon armor from the dungonarmor trader is exotic and soulbound.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
the items you got through using fortune scraps were always account bound.
Tradable ones are ONLY gotten as drops.
Edit: Even the wiki link you posted has the answer "Fortune Scrap Vendor for 200 Fortune Scraps or 1 Golden Fortune Scrap (Masterwork version, Account Bound) "
If you exchange a golden fortune scrap for a masterwork account bound rucksack, then you will receive a masterwork account bound rucksack. It’s pretty simple so not sure why you felt the need to make a thread about it. I think you just saw rare rucksack skins were worth a lot, got excited and didn’t pay attention to what you were doing, and now you’re upset that you aren’t getting any gold.
This is another case of the player doesn’t read the fine print.
It was a drop from Aspect Arena rewards during Cutthroat Politics patch (Rare version, not account bound).

Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances

I made the thread because I feel like its not fair that an item, that is the same cosmeticly, from the same living story is now worth money and the reward from the first time isn’t.. Also.. it was in the “black lion weapons specialists- tab” and all those skins are not accountbound, so why are these?
I just feel like arenanet should atleast think these things over and thats why I brought this to the attention. I’m fine if the judgement will ultimately be against my prefered situation.. but i just want them to atleast think it over..
secondly, ofcourse i’m upset about this.. i acted rationally, made a ticket (AND NOT A FORUM THREAD) in the hopes that i could atleast get the chance to choose the reward i want.. I feel like some of the reply’ers on here didn’t even read what i wrote down, since I did state that…

eventhough that might seem like a good comparison, it rly isn’t because the scraps used to be stored in the black lion claim ticket specialist’s tabs, which are all just skins, not accountbound or soulbound.
The masterwork ones have always been bound, the rare ones that drop have always been unbound. The rare version isn’t something introduced with the current bazaar, it also dropped during the original run of the bazaar. Your point that “its not fair that an item, that is the same cosmeticly, from the same living story is now worth money and the reward from the first time isn’t”, isn’t a valid point, because nothing has changed since the first bazaar. An item that used to drop, drops again.
The quality difference was probably at least partly intended as a red flag to avoid misunderstandings. The version at the trader was there as a convenience people could save up for with fortune scraps (or a lucky golden fortune). It’s unfortunate that you didn’t notice before getting the masterwork one, but we’re talking about a situation that has existed for nearly 11 months now, not some recently introduced unreasonable measure meant to advantage certain people over others.

ok, i didn’t know the rare unbound skin was available through the same way as now. But how about my second problem: i rly don’t like the skin i picked, why can’t i just get my scrap back?
You’d have to open a ticket about that, if it’s possible. They won’t do it via the forum, for obvious reasons.
Did the patch increase the rucksack drop rate? The prices on it absolutely tanked today, which is awesome, because I picked one up.

Because we can’t be angry about both?
