Light of Dwayna (Infused) is soulbound
I haven’t tested it since I haven’t infused my Dwanya backpiece yet (I just swapped other infused backpieces around since I heard it was bugged a while ago) but the Tempered Spinal Blades and coloured version give the same message “soulbound on use” but stay accountbound even after you select the stats. So maybe the same goes for LoD, worth trying if you’d mainly intend to use it on 1 character, but you are right, it’s a sloppy oversight.
“This item is soulbound to another character.” So infused LoD/SoG permanently stick to one character. In light of “account bound high-end items” (including legendaries) agenda this issue is really a ridiculous oversight. I wonder if correcting this would take as much time as it took for adding back pieces infusion recipies into the game, or other quality of life improvements (requested by players, mind you), for that matter.
Can confirm. Have the same problem. I assume it was an oversight and they will change it sooner or later
It may be an oversight, but in no way “ridiculous”. They only made this change a month or so ago. Put in an in-game bug report and wait for them to fix it (I agree it should be account bound if it’s ascended gear).

By “ridiculous” I meant that when normal people do something, they do not rely on circumstances, which were true for times gone. Think about it: if it were so simple to add infusion recipe as writing 1 line of code and flipping a switch, the item, being of ascended type, must abide by changes already made to this category of items, but it doesn’t; if it were so hard to make one single item, logic dictates surely Anet must be crafting each single RNG item by hand, infusing it with souls of little children, which is absolutely dumbfounded. Point here being there is no logical explanation why a single item (well, two) of a particular type would not abide by new rules and be unique for no reason. It is not a rocket science, but I’m not saying there’s a freaking conspiracy here either. It’s just… ridiculous. Pardon my language, by if a man all his life releaves himself after putting pants down, doing those two simple things in another order would seem rather odd, don’t you think?

And bug report ofc submitted, I presume not by myself alone. Maybe Anet will pay attention to this, who knows. It just sadens me greatly meanwhile that I cannot do such a simple thing as throwing my infused LoD (with agony 20 btw) to anotehr character, if i wish to swap, say, and help my party in a high lvl fractal…
Quality of life… anyway.
PS: Ever since I started playing I am genuinely astonished by overall QoL, and I have played my fair share of other MMOs. It takes effort to keep up a good work, but it ought not to be at the cost of teeny tiny crap that is so annoying on the big picture and shadows all the good stuff we have.

Just remember you posted that the next time you make a mistake….
Yes, a perfect world is something we can all strive for, but in reality, mistakes happen. In terms of the overall importance of mistakes, this one is NOT that high on the list.
