Guild Wars 2

Greetings, I am sad, I thought ascended gear was account bound only, but then upon a clearer inspection, they are soulbound on use, this seriously hinders people who have lots of alts (like myself). I like playing all the classes, as each one offers different play style, plus I can fill any role that my friends or my group needs.

Could you please make ascended gear, and also make legendaries bound to accounts upon use, legendaries as they are hard to make, and I would like to (if I make one) give it as much use as possible.

I agree with this.

It will eliminate the terrible grind and just put progression instead.

I agree with this statement, making the weapons would be more worth it and, from my perspective would increase the feeling of worth to these weapons. Rather than a timesink, that you must farm alot to get… again and again and ag…

as they are now, the make me want to play less, since It doesn’t feel worth it to play/farm to make these weapons.

But that all changed when the patch was launched… (here’s hoping, as unlikely as it seems)

I believe I read somewhere that Legendaries will eventually be account bound.
As for ascended, I’d assume right now they’re just like other dungeon token equipment, soulbound on acquire. That system seems to work fine for dungeons, so don’t know what the problem is really. (I have 8 characters, 5 at 80, none have ascended yet)

Edit: rereading it, I think the problem is you don’t want to spend more time getting the same stuff? For me personally, if say an ascended amulet was account bound, I wouldn’t even bother with transferring it to whatever character I felt like playing that time. Seems to be even more of a waste. Maybe once they add actual ascended armor, an account bound system would make sense, but even then having gear that any character can use is rather strange (my asura war sharing armor with my charr guard)

what would be fun is when you could make a wish" with an item for one of your other alts:you could let the mystic forge consume the item and select an alt who’d receive a gift" (same type of item/lvl rarity,… ) once they get to the right level
