I don’t even get why they are soulbound. You can not sell them on the trading post.
If you change builds , they now become useless because you can’t transfer them to an alt. With so many friendly alt items in GW2’s database, including the birthday gift. I almost feel as though i’m forced to stay one character,because getting ascended trinkets can take a month or more for another alt. With no alts, imho, spend less gems because bag slots and other things i would spent on alts has no need in this game. getting an alt to par with my main would take too long to even be worth it. I understand economics on lesser rarity items but ascended? come on…. anyway just my rant/suggestion for the day.
