Soulbound Precursor/Legendary
Agreed, all the chinese farmers are controlling the market now and the prices go up and up. Noone should be able to sell their legendary, period. It should be attained, then accountbound (use across multiple characters not soulbound).
It’s ok for precursors, but legendary weapons should be accoutbound on acquire, soulbound on use, just like ascended trinkets.
As long as crazy RNG is the only thing involved in getting a precursor, I’m actually happy to have the option to buy it, even if the prices are insane. But at least I am sure to get it.
I gave up waiting for a better way to get a precursor already and bought mine on the TP.
After thinking about it I’d say leave the system unchanged for current legendaries and design a new, better one (scavenger hunt?) for the next set of legendaries and then make the precursor untradable or maybe don’t use precursors at all (A precursor is just one component anyway, like the gifts, just this one is a usable weapon). Make a completely new system of achieving a legendary, that requires less stupid grind and more skill.
If you still keep precursors in the game, don’t just give them a cheap random sking, but instead give them similarities to the legendary, just like an unfinnished legendary would look.
