Guild Wars 2

Please Make legendary weapons account bound they are already a pain to make.It would be kinda insane if you need to make the same one twice if you want it also on a other character.Also if you need a break at the character that got the legendary equiped you cant use it anymore unless it’s on that character.

/disagree

Legendary should be LEGENDARY: a real achievement and not some kind of giveaway – even between you own chars.

i agree, but i also think the whole soulbound system is bad to begin with, nothing should be more then accountbound

I don’t even have a legendary and I support account bound legendaries :P

I couldn’t possibly imagine finally getting that weapon to realize you must decide on 1 character only, to put it on :-/

So LEGENDARY you can buy on BLTC.

I agree, I’m very frustrated I can’t swap my Bifrost between my ele and mesmer… god I was making this staff SO long, using my whole ACCOUNT, skill points from every character, map completion from another, I was farming gold with various characters, it should be account bound :/

You can move a legendary between your characters. Transmute to a white item, bank it. Take it out and transmutation split to get original.

Also disagree. A crapload of people already have at least one and making it account bound would make it look like everyone owns a legendary.

Definitely thumbs up for account bound Legendary, after all that effort i feel obliged to use Sunrise and now that i will like to change spec to an hammer one i really would love to pass Sunrise maybe to my mesmer or guardian, i think that making it account bound will even push more people trying to get one, give us the right to change our mind ad gamestyle.

You can pay to move your legendary as I stated above. Anet is a company, they won’t make something people pay for into a free service anytime soon.

Your logic is kind of flawed. It would still be the same person using the legendary, so how would that make it look like everyone owns one? Same person different character.

Same person different character.

Because you can hardly, without stalking them ingame via FL, tell that “Michugga Wannaka” and “Hollala Shakly” are the person. To most people it would seem that both have Eternity and not just the account.

This would devalue the achievement of a “Legendary” if it’s like “Oh see, another one with Eternity running around, can stand this skin anymore…”

If it would be accountbound, people will instaswitch their Legendarys way more often than with the “move to a white item” trick.

And just for economy issues: If you’d make it accountbound, you’d move a VERY BIG gold sink out of the game.

1. Gives more of a reason to get a legendary, lots of people don’t get them BECAUSE they are soulbound. They don’t want to spend so much time for something that only one character will be able to use.

2. Most people only go for one legendary, and soulbinding it locks them into a class/character in a way, which seems to be against what anet wants (EX. account bound wxp). After working hard to get something so epic, you rarely ever want to play another character that doesn’t have it.

3. After all that work to get it, if I swap my build so it doesn’t use a <Insert Legendary Weapon>, I should at least be able to send it to another one of my characters so it doesn’t sit in my bank collecting dust. Because of this, not only does it “lock” players into a class, it locks them into a specific set of builds. EX. A thief switching from s/d to d/d, but has bolt. Maybe that player’s mesmer could use bolt.

4. Yes, transmuting a legendary can make it account bound. But it also forces it to lose it’s legendary status (And ascended stats) so that you couldn’t swap it to be whatever stat set you’d like. That was a HUGE boost to the motive to get a legendary, and therefore transmuting is undesirable because you lose that feature.

5. If a player only has one legendary (Seemingly most players with legendaries only have one, sometimes two) then how is letting that player move the weapon to another character devalue the achievement? It’s still just as hard to get, but it’s now more rewarding to get, therefore increasing the amount of people that go for em, which keeps people playing this game, which makes anet money.

6. A TON of people have legendaries, so I don’t really see any point behind the argument that you see the skin so much you get bored of it. Just walk around LA in Blackgate, you’ll probably be able to see every legendary in the game at least once (If not multiple times) within an hour. I run into players with incinerator (my legendary <3 ) all the time. It doesn’t make me hate having my incinerator lol.

7. If you’re afraid of players swapping these legendaries between characters too often (I don’t really see a problem but…) then maybe require a specific amount of time the legendary has to be on a character before being able to send to another character who is then bounded by the same requirement.

8. It’s not like we’re asking to be able to resell our legendaries on the TP if we get bored of em, we just want to be able to play a variety of classes with our legendaries.
