Guild Wars 2

This is a suggestion for you Anet, but I also would like to have this up for discussion to other players to read and see their comments.

Reason: I bought some laurel gear and also I have rings I have accidentally soulbound to my toon and i’d like to have some of that gear transfered to another toon.

Does anyone else think that Anet should make an ASAP update/patch and make Ascended Gear or any other Gear Account Bound instead of Soulbound?

That or my other idea was, Anet should create a merchant that can remove any soulbound piece for a price. Possibly the price the merchant would purchase the item for if you sold that item to the merchant.

Considering the amount of effort needed to get ascended gear, as well as the need to promote build diversity, I second this.

It takes forever to get ascended gear, so most people I know of just go for Berzerker stats as their end-game build…

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! I mean come on! I spend 500 globs of ectoplasm… thats like 40-50 gold! Added to that I have to put more things into upgrading that Fractal Backpiece and all the time I spent gathering everything. /sigh

All the ascended gear isn’t soulbound till you equip it, seems hardly “accidental” you bought it and equipped it with the character other than the one you wanted the gear on, and not just once with multiple pieces of gear.

I agree with this. This is stupid that everything in this game is soulbound.

i don’t believe it’s stupid that everything is soulbound
alot should be,so you have something to work on with one character
but you know……..
when you can only get 1 currency per day and 10 additional per 1 month
it’s a little pathetic to those of us who like to play multiple characters
especially with items that have stat boosts…
people argue it’s not a “required” grind to get them
but any competitive player knows that stats are stats
you’d be stupid (or too casual of a player) to think that even those additional 10 stats on one piece mean nothing

To begin with every way you can gain ascended gear is paid for with tokens or some form of currency that is account bond.

with that said I think it sucks that you “accidentally” purchased it on the wrong toon, then you took a BoE and put it on “accidentally”. I am sorry but this could have been prevented not once but twice.

First you could have gotten it on the character you wanted to have it on

Secondly you could have gave it to your character you wanted it on.

Not really understanding why you need to have the ascended gear account bond when you have two options to not have it go on the wrong toon. I say next time pay attention a little better before you jump the gun.
