Hello!
As you know there are soulbound and accountbound items in GW2. I think it’s mostly there so you can’t “cheat” in some way, or maybe so you can actually work for something instead of buying everything for gold. Well, I’d like to suggest adding some kind of item, that would allow players to un-bind some of the items. I’m not talking about event items (fortune scraps; support tokens), I mean gear (masterwork; rare; exotic; ascended), karma (drop; thimble; sip; taste; vial; swig; gulp; flask; jug; keg).

I wanted to share my karma with friends and I wasn’t able to plenty of times. After making a legendary and buying armour, there aren’t too many things I can do with my karma. It would be great to be able to somehow share with my friends, who don’t have as much time to play as I do.
I don’t really understand why green items get soulbound, they aren’t worth that much and I would happily share with my friend on lower levels. It’s not that big of an issue, I just don’t get why it’s soulbound in the first place.

It would be good to add an option to turn lower tier karma ‘bottles’ to higher tier. For example 2 drops give you 1 thimble. It’s not good if you want to save karma, but useful if you need more bank space.

My suggestion is to add some kind of scrolls that allow you to “un-bind” an item. Let’s say each gear type (masterwork; rare; exotic; ascended) requires scrolls of a different quality, just to make it more fair. It would be great if scrolls could be obtained by mixing some items in mystic forge or buying from Miyani, preferably for skillpoints.
Let’s say:
karma jug” scroll costs 1 skillpoint
masterwork” scroll costs 1 skillpoint
rare” scroll costs 3 skillpoints
exotic” scroll costs 10 skillpoints
(“ascended” scroll costs 20 skillpoints)
“legendary” scroll costs 50 skillpoints

I’m not sure about ascended items.
This is just a suggestion. I think it would be nice to see some kind of option to share karma and other items with your friends. Feel free to comment, tell me if there’s a flaw in my thinking or if you like my idea.

(Also forgive me for my english ^(^o^) still learning)

I, personally, think that most things that are soulbound can just be turned to account bound. Though it does make sense that items gained from personal story rewards are soulbound.

And… crafting/recipes. Why can’t anything you craft be unbound? I like to trade with my guildies stuff I craft.

Bump~
I realize this problem is partially gone as there are more ways of getting gold…but I think it still would be a nice option considering ascended weapons/armours aren’t account bound.
If not making an option to share gear with friends, it would still be nice to give an option to turn soulbound items back into accountbound items…even if after equipping them they would become soulbound again.
Just a thought.
