Guild Wars 2

I would reallllllly like the see the soulbound aspect of weapons be removed. I really like in GW1 how i could use my weapons between different characters. I mean, if im going to be crafting a legendary greatsword, I don’t want to have to be segregated to play that sole character because my legendary is soulbound to it.

Soulbinding might not be all roses and such right now, but altering it would produce even more issues.

Say you only do it with legendaries. That’s like telling a person to roll every possible character that can use that weapon. And hey, most likely that would happen. And that’s not really good.

Say you allow it for other gear, such as rares and masterworks. Well now we have the issue that you only need about three sets of armor for all the characters on your account. And that’s going to make crafting even worse, as people will need less armor sets for all of their characters, while the crafting materials just keep on piling up. Worst case scenario, it’ll reach a situation where the difference between buying all the materials and NPCing the product you make out of them have pretty much the same cost.

And let’s be honest, the legendaries are a big, big project. They’re the kind of project that you’re only supposed to do on your main. And let’s be honest, everyone has a main.

It says Legendary Weapons become Accountbound even though they say Soulbound on Use.

I went back in time and solved your problem before you had it!
