Better education for "Unique" items
This sucks, but items are clearly marked as "unique. This is also why each ascended ring, earring, and amulet have multiple items with the same stats.
The vendor also has you confirm your purchase “Are you sure you want to purchase X?”
Right, the mutliples appear to be so that you can pick between Defensive and Offensive infusion slots as opposed to you having to buy different rings. That would be clearest if they were absolutely identical as opposed to having the difference in Utility slot.
The “Are you sure…” happens whenever you trade for Laurels, Dungeon Tokens and karma so that didn’t strike me as unusual in this situation, I expected that to happen so it doesn’t help warn you about it being unique.
The marking as Unique was just so unexpected that putting it next to all the notices about Soulbound and Account bound etc means it’s easily ignored.
It seems the only reason most people found out about “Unique” is because someone screwed up like me (this happened in my guild). I just didn’t happen to be around when it happened and there is no other way that it is broadcast to the player in a clear way, which is why I ended up repeating their mistake.

Further clarification wouldn’t hurt. I didn’t even know we couldn’t have duplicates until recently. Good thing I held off. I’m on the fence about a ring swapper though. Maybe have a cool-down period between each swap or a limit to how many times one can swap to prevent people from abusing the feature?
I figure making the swapped accessory souldbound and only allowing non-soulbound items to be swapped would limit its use to those who get trash drop or screw up.
This again?! Wonder how long it will take before we get confirmation on confirmation dialogs…
