Guild Wars 2

Yesterday, due to the network delay or mouse auto-double-click problem, I bought an “Unusable & Soulbound” weapon by karma!
So I found GW2 allow users buy the “unusable & soulbound” armor/weapon!? I think it is really unreasonable!
In my opinion, add a limitation for buying the “unusable & soulbound” items is necessary.
Maybe add a check dialog for “unusable & soulbound” items? Or let “unusable & soulbound” items can not double-click-buy, only can buy by click the BUY button?

And for already sold items, I think GW2 can try to auto-refund these items if possible.
If it’s impossible, maybe changing the unusable item to accountbound will be more reasonable than soulbound…
Or adding a merchant who only for refunding user’s unusable & soulbound items for karma or golds?

Thank you so much.

This just happened to me, lost about 30,000 karma trying to preview weapons that now I can’t even use. And you know what, I admit it was my mistake but it’s just not fair.

I know several people who this has happened to and yet every thread on the forums is about how it’s not ANet policy to refund items and we’re just out of luck.

So I guess I will either happily grind another hundred dynamic events just to get back to where I was. Or I’ll just stop playing for a while ’cause it feels like such a setback.

Players making error purchases is not new. I’ve been caught up by that myself and its really a problem. if there had been a confirmation pop-up note you had to click prior to purchase, that would help tremendously.

The other thought would be to allow a resell function with a timer if you do get caught up in this by mistake so that you can return the item to the vendor you purchased it from for a complete refund. Or if not a complete refund, at least 90% refund which would be better than the current setup.

I hate confirmation windows for everything.

You know one of the few things Trion did right with Rift? Putting in a full-price refund on items. If you buy an item from a merchant, you can – within 5 minutes – sell the item back for full price. Note though that if you used part of a consumable, you wouldnt get the full price, and if it was an item that was bind on equip, that too cancelled the full refund option.

Also I find it completely unreasonable that you cant sell (to a merchant) or salvage certain karma reward items.
