Guild Wars 2

I got an exotic rifle to drop on my ranger and it is soulbound can we at least not make them acct bound?

I got an exotic longbow (with awesome skin!!) on my engi and it’s soulbound.

I’ll trade you lol

Also some of the exotics that drop have same skins as Cultural T3 Weapons.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

Thank you for pointing this out – they are certainly not intended to be soulbound on pick-up. They should function like all other exotic pickups in the game.

Okey, that is nice to hear.

meh… if i knew this i would not have salvaged the 2 i got

What does that mean for those of us who have soulbound exotics from the dungeon? Will they be corrected, or forced to be forge fodder?

Would like to know please.

Will they still bind on acquire, however? Because that’s really the issue here I believe ^^

My guess is when they fix it, it will fix the new ones also.

My point is, some of the exotics right now are bind on acquire instead of bind on use/equip, which was the issue raised by the OP. That they will be merely account bound instead of soul bound (William’s reply) is a secondary concern. I just hope they fix the binding mechanic.

William Fairfield.1428:

Those who have the Exotics already will find them Account Bound when the change goes in.

That’s not the answer I was looking for to be honest. If exotic items are supposed to be bind on equip, then I would like it if these became.. bind on equip.. not auto account bound. Now you’re just assuming that my wife who wears light armors, because she only has light armor characters, will at some point need a medium armor exotic.. which is not the case.

William are we ever going to see money dropping from the bosses? like the new instances, loot is such random (atm in stage 8 of the fractals).

EDIT: Sorry not bags.

There are some skins I haven’t seen on Karma merchants, are they new or have I just missed some?

William Fairfield.1428:

… invalidating all of the work that those who had already received those skins had done.

LOL!
How about a comment on invalidating other stuff? Just LOL.

As I see these exotics should be bind of equip, not account bound on pick up.
So the ultimate question: Could the support unbind the bind on pick up exotics?

I got a longbow from the fractals, but none of my characters can equip it, and I dont even plan to level such character. So its easy to see, that I could not equip it even if I wanted to. It just became account bound as I found it.
