Guild Wars 2

…That Aren’t For My Class?

I’ll be brief. Yes, I screwed up. Yes, it was only 360 tokens. Yes, I bought two light CoF exotics on a heavy class. Regardless, it’s pretty dumb to have items bought from dungeon vendors be soul bound on acquire when you can buy them on classes that can’t use them. At the very least they should be account bound and soul bound on use, optional that they have the “Are you sure you want to buy this?” verification prompt with a warning if your class can’t use the item.

I don’t expect a timely (24h) solution, although that would be awesome, and any later than that, I’d just craft a set of armor by that time anyway, but hey, I’ll hold on to the pieces on the off-chance that you change it to account bound. This suggestion post is for those future people that happen to screw up as well. Thanks.

I doubt you’ll see a solution (except, perhaps, a refund and an “are you sure you want to buy this” in the future if someone tries to buy something they can’t equip). The impression I get is that skins are meant to say “This particular character did this particular thing.” It exists purely for the purpose of visual bragging… and do we really want that visual bragging to be lies?

The hero panel automatically filters out equipment you can’t use, so I don’t see any reason why vendors can’t have a check box that says, “filter out stuff I can’t use.”

The crafting panel also allows you to filter out recipes for stuff you can’t use and that was added later, perhaps due to suggestions on this forum.

The tokens are account bound. That is completely irrelevant.

This is good observation, but we all know to read red text, right?

I don’t know about you, but after only three hours of sleep from the previous night, I tend to ignore small details like that.
