Guild Wars 2

Is there a reason for legendary being soulbound?
As soon as you got one shouldnt you be able to use it on whatever character you play at that point or am I missing something important?

I mean after all the work put in it (or all the gold for some people no doubt), shouldnt you be able to switch it so when having leveled an alt, that one can benefit from the weapon if you wish him to have it.

they are items to show that you worked for it on that character (ignore the fact that you can work on it with alts)
like any other equipment would be if it’s expensive,it’s soulbound
it makes sense that way,because it’s that characters item…
sure it’s more difficult to get,but it makes it that more special
i don’t see why everyone’s more upset about these legendaries being soulbound than the rest of the game being such alt-hate…

i’m an altaholic myself (with 10+ characters) but the legendaries being account bound idea that everyone’s talking about seems ridiculous even to me…..

I second account bound and would love to see them have the damage set to your character level, like in GW1. It would be totally epic to see a level 3 warrior running around with eternity. You made the item to show off (although powerful they are essentially a cosmetic item), why stop people showing off.

No. Character bound only…and I’d prefer if it was character bound on acquiring as well for Legendaries, because at least then we’d know people who have them earned them, and didn’t just buy them for the highest price (which IMO defeats the purpose of obtaining one).
