Guild Wars 2

I’m sure everyone has a story where they have an item that they equipt, but want to sell it now. Perhaps you made a legendary and want to sell it now that you find you don’t like it that much anymore. It would work like it sounds, one-time use and its just like a new drop. You could equipt it again or sell it, your choice.

Never gonna happen.

Maybe not un-soulbind, but rather transfer to account bound.

This would come in handy when changing your build. You’d be able to give your old ascended trinkets to an alt, and buy new ones for your main. This way, the olds aren’t totally lost.

The same goes for fancy legendaries on characters you don’t play on anymore (eg: oops got Bifrost on necro but have a new guardian who’s more into rainbows… )

just remove soul bound from the game, not per item type but globally.

If Anet wants GW2 to be this truly unique, innovative MMO they should actually do this Hurray for account bound!

Ask yourself this: why does soulbound even exist? To hate people with alts?

(If you say armor is soulbound because it’s customized for your character then alright, armor can be soulbound. But trinkets?)

But to stay on-topic: a soulbound to accound bound transmuter would be glorious.

Anet doesn’t hate money, and GW2 is a great game. So if there’s a way Anet can make more money while at the same time improving the game, why wouldn’t they?

And the players suggest themselves they’d be happy with it:

I never did see the purpose of soulbound items. All it does is frustrate players. When leveling your character and you had to get rid of that rare armor you have for better stuff, it was either sell it to the merchant for like, 2s or salvage it for mithril ore.

As long as the following happened:
1) Any achievement points achieved from said item are removed (progress as well)
Example: Unsouldbining a Legendary would remove:
Account medal (if its your first and only legendary)
Legendary Collector Achievement Progress is reset

If the above happened, then i see no problem with the idea of unsoulbind to sell.

Soulbound to Account Bound already exists.
1) Take a soulbound item , like a Legendary.
2) Fuse it to white quality item. It will become Account Bound.
3) Move it to another character via your bank
4) Use Transmutation splitter to get the original item back. It will still be Soulbound, but it will be Soulbound to your new character instead.

Disclaimer: I make no guarantees that this works, although I’ve never heard of it failing.

The OP wanted soulbound -> not bound, to sell his stuff.

I was happy with soulbound -> account bound. But since you can’t transmute trinkets this trick does nothing to help people transfer their ascended rings/amulets…

I also think this isn’t really the purpose of a transmutation splitter, and furthermore 800 gems per item can really stack up…

It would be so innovative to see all soulbound items just being changed to account bound… ANet took the first step with the harvesting tools, now’s the time to remove soulbound from the game entirely.

First off I don’t agree to the Soulbound → no bound. I agree with the possibly of Soulbound → Accountbound though.

Secondly I think the main reason they added the splitter in the first place was for all the people who transmute muted their Legendaries to other weapons due, do not liking the PVT stats or for swapping to an alt. So when they changed how the stats for Legendaries worked they needed something to compensate/fix it for those people. Hense why the stone was released at the same time if I remember right. I also heard a rumor how if you had a legendary prior to the change you got a free splitter, so that just even more so leads me to believe that’s why they created it.

Lastly I do agree with the fact that soulbound is more annoying then anything and it should just be changed to account bound across the game, however I doubt that would be free. So they should just create a Transmute _w/e_ in the gem store for 300gems (cost of a splitter) to change items from soulbound to account bound. Seeing as how we can already with a hassle, if you know the trick. Plus the splitter can still be used for things like keeping skins so it won’t make the splitter useless. Whether Anet foresaw this possibility as an exploit or not it’s in the game now, why not make it official with it’s own gem item.

I’d actually be perfectly happy with an item that turned soulbound into account bound. I have a couple of backitems that I stupidly transmuted onto items only my main would be able to wear now…
