Guild Wars 2

Could we get an option to trade/salvage the portal device into magnetite shards? Due to stupid luck I’m sitting on several of them, and AFAIK it’s the only raid item that can’t be turned into shards somehow.

True it just came to me today when my guildies talked about it:
What do you do with it if you drop duplicates? You can’t salvage it, because it’s no piece of equipment. But you also can’t trade it in to Glenna because it’s not a Mini.
I think a Trade-in option for something between 40 (Mini) and 100 (10% of the buy price) Magnetite should be cool.

Alternatively, I think it should be like the Slubling Tonic / Ghostly Infusion where you can sell it on the TP. Either way I absolutely agree; something must be done so that you can recoup value from it.

We’ve been talking about this and are looking at solutions coming out with the next raid release. Don’t throw those away just yet!

Will that next release be this year? As in you’re hoping to but things can always change?

Will legendary armor be finished next release?

Crystal has there been any discussion of reducing the CD on the portal device? 3-5 minutes would completely reasonable.
