Gathering tools should be account bound/sellable
yes – its a little annoying having soulbound crafting tools, don’t see why they aren’t account bound either. In general soul bound items in GW2 are annoying and don’t fit well with a game where the bank storage is shared over all your toons: “this item is soulbound to another character” … yeah but which one.
Yeah, I don’t understand why they felt the need to make all tools soundbound on acquire instead of at least account bound – it seems needlessly restrictive.
It’s especially frustrating when you get them from random lootbags while exploring a low level area on a high level character – those tools would so much more useful if only I could pass them down to a low level alt, but since they’re soulbound and can’t be sold, I usually just end up deleting them, since my high level character can’t carry around 10 different types of tools all the time just in case I might be passing through a lower level area again. :/
Exactly my point. You just end up deleting loot because it’s just not doable to carry all those different tiers of gathering tools with you on your character.
