Guild Wars 2

This probably have been mentioned several times before but I think Legendaries should be account bound.

During a player lifetime he most likely will swap professions;

• maybe he gets bored
• maybe certain professions are better suited for certain content
• PvE vs PvP professions
• Achievement hunting
• Professions gets broken/changed in patches

In addition to this character will very often switch builds for a number of reasons.

Concerns like this will force people to NOT create legendaries since they arent sure they are going to stay with the current character or spec. This also limits things like achievement hunting etc.

Legendary hunting is one of the big stepping stones after hitting 80, making this character bound forces people to playing a single character (enforced by the time invested) which will eventually make people bored.

If im way off on this or if people have other arguments for/against please make your voice heard.

I agree with this, but also taking it a step further. They should be account bound from creation (BoA not BoE).

I think it impacts the component market when folks can make and sell the Legendary. If the legendaries are by account, then the only motivation to make one is because you actually want one. This keeps materials in the market for those players.

That being said, I don’t think there’s a serious number of players actually crafting legendaries to sell — but the TP may prove me wrong.
