Guild Wars 2

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Legendaries should be account bound? With all the cross character work you can do to craft your legendary weapon I feel as if they should be account bound rather then soulbound to a single character. This isn’t just some 5g exotic that you can purchase for all your characters, this is something that has had an endless amount of time put into by ALL of our characters. I’m sure people will post how they got all the mats on one character, well good for you, but all of the gifts to craft a legendary are already ACCOUNT BOUND. I’m posting this to see where everyone stands on this and maybe, just maybe, it will get looked into.

Yes pls, make them account bound. I don’t want to have to craft Sunrise 4 times.

Make everything account bound. Character bound is too limited. hehe.

Yes, I would like to see this happen. I don’t have a legendary, but I think that when I get to the point of having completed one I’m never going to want to look at that character again

How about a borrow or lease option to allow others to rent your weapon. And also a transfer option like a shop item or something or a guesting option.

This was posed as a question in a recent interview, and the answer was vague at best. :/

Every high priced item should have some flexibility.

Yes please, people may change their main charracter. Also, themore you play your main, the more you get to know it’s different playstyle’s, different playstyle’s require different weps. You may end up only using your legendary because it’s a legendary even though it doesn’t fit you playstyle.

Often repeated suggestion, but one change: Account bound on ACQUIRE. This should never have been a sellable item.

I agree Drawing, i dont think that this should be a sellable item. This is an item that you put together with your entire account and such it should be account bound

I agree, account bound on use would make alot more sense than character bound. Anything of that value in terms of player time invested shouldn’t be stuck on one character, i want twilight a good few times aswell. And double incinerator on my main thief and ele seems like literally decades away.

If they allow this, then ALL weapons will need to follow suit. I wish I could pass on my old weapons to my Alt characters when I obtain a new one.

(In a semi-related note, I haven’t done many dungeons, but at least twice they gave me a reward armor piece that was instantly soulbound to me without my ever having equipped it, and not even sellable to the merchant. All I could do was trash the thing. Some “reward”. Is this usual for Dungeons?) “Soulbound” … Thpppt!

Soulbound should be done away with completely. Because all you end up with is a feeling of being “BOUND”. This game is filled with this sensation of being limited, bound, and controlled. It’s not a good feeling and really takes away from the game. Let’s us be creativity and use the item we earn as we please…..

Not to mention, they way they jerk around the professions (balancing) there isn’t any guarantee they won’t ruin the character you’ve spent all that time and money on.

YES, please.

It’s really annoying to get a legendary after a hundreds of hours and tons of gold spended and bound it to ONE character (and one class).

I crafted twilight for my warrior but realized about 3 weeks afterwards that i really like guardian and warrior doesn’t fit my playstyle anymore.

So what? I spent (lets say) about 500-1000h for a weapon and can’t use it anymore…

This really hurts…i’m working on The Predator right now but i don’t know how to make my new character (engineer or warrior, black or blonde hair? which name? which race?). It’s really a hard decision to make….

If the legendaries would be account bound on use (on aquire would also be WAY better…but not as important as accound bound on use) i can just make a character, play, have some fun and don’t have to care about such detail things.

Maybe in 6 months I like to play some asura….i’m afraid of it atm because weapons are so small, but i really like them, i have a lot of fun playing this race…if the legendaries would be account bound i just would try asura or maybe even charr….because I KNOW, IF I WISH i can create a human and give the weapon to this guy.

I thing a legendary is such a great achievement….you should not be ristricted to one character using them.

If you don’t want to make them account bound… you can implement some kind of merchant. Lets say you have to pay 5g to UNBIND a weapon (even exotics, there are some pretty expensive weapons too). After unbinding it’s soulbound on use again (BUT YOU CAN’T trade in tp or send ingame mail now) and you can give it to another character. This would be also a nice gold-sink!

I’m pretty sorry for my bad english

Definitely agree.

This is making me not want to play alts honestly. Would really like to use legendaries on a character other than my main.

Would say ditto for ascended too. Leave it account bound when equipped, like the karka shell accessory.

I would like character bound for all items, even ascended equipment. We should be rewarded for completing content, not a mindless grind for those of us who already pu
extra time in leveling alts.

yes, i would like to see an unbinder in the game, i could pay for it.

Just wanted to add my voice to this. I agree that Legendary’s should be Account bound on creation, unsellable and remain Account bound on equip. I’m currently working on Incinerator for my Ele and I also have a Thief that I’d like to be able to use it on as well as an un leveled Ranger and Necro

This has been brought up since release. Probably never going to happen.

I understand that. But isn’t it a little ridiculous considering the amount of time/effort that goes into making one?
