I was just on the TP and I noticed you can now buy legendary weapons: The Moot, Incinerator and Twilight.

I don’t know if this is a bug or intended but, surely it is a bad idea. ANet have made a big thing about Legendaries being ultimate weapons that you as player have to put loads of time and effort in to in order to craft them. Surely if you can buy them it defeats the purpose of the uniqueness of a legendary weapon.

I personally think it defeats the purpose of the player putting in effort to make an awesome weapon if anyone else can just buy it.

“Legendary weapons are a set of high end weapons that have unique appearances. They are crafted in the Mystic Forge. Each legendary weapon requires four components: a specific exotic precursor weapon, a Gift of Fortune, a Gift of Mastery and a final gift specific to the desired legendary weapon. Currently, legendary weapons are soulbound, although Dev Lindsey has hinted that they may be changed to account bound in the future.”

Way to look at the wiki and not the actual item description. They are soulbound on use, not on acquire. They have been this way from launch. You realize that at launch some of the components to making the legendary were soulbound to that character. So unless you acquired everything on that character you where out of luck. So they allowed you to make it on one character and give it to another.

Hence why soulbound on use. Instead of looking at the wiki, go ask anybody who has made one

since you just look at the wiki and not on actual player findings. allow me to show you a post over 2 months ago:

Also.. if they weren’t sellable why would there be a legendary drop down tab in the AH? do people think before posting and claiming something is a bug

Katlan, this is also a new thing. Legendaries weren’t able to be bought/sold before even though they were soulbound on equip. Go ask anybody who has made one, they weren’t able to be listed in the TP. Also, it’s clearly a bug one way or another because only three of them show up, twilight, the moot, and incinerator. So even if they are supposed to be able to be sold, it’s still bugged. Shush, kitten.

I actually find the letter P offensive, so everyone with a P in their name must have it removed.

Nup, I was able to sell a legendary well before this patch.

Also, tool-tip says soul-bound on equip, right after forge.

if you were able to sell the legendary before this patch, my guess is people have only started doing it now because they have multiple legendaries already and are starting to sell the excess legendaries they have

Ok ok. No need to be so aggressive people. I did post, “not sure if its a bug or what”. I did notice the legendary filter on TP but I thought it was a quirk. It just seems a shame that you can buy legendaries now, or could have previously. @ Katlan thank you for directing me to that page, I didn’t look hard enough

I don’t see a lot of difference since many of the items required to create a Legendary can be bought out-right as well. Same difference if you ask me.

Personally I can’t wait to buy my legendary without even having to enter WvW or PvP. No need for a star, no need to grind, no need to be, well you know, legendary.

Seriously I would rather save both my time and money and use another mystic forge weapon.

No, gold farmers would have been selling them right from the start.

Another thread on this…. lol

Who cares to be honest. If people want to craft and sell legendaries for high prices sure. Really who cares.

Exactly. If someone wants to go through all that effort to get one just to sell it, then good for them. What harms does it do? Im sure some people just whine about anything just so they can hear themselves whine.

Go back to WoW. Most overused brainless arguement 2012-2013

Yup basically if someone has enough gold to pay 700+9k gold then they could have pretty much crafted it themselves….. getting that much gold is just as much a time investment as if they crafted it for themselves.

And if people are complaining that it can be just bought with RL money….. well so what thats their deal, Anet makes money we get more updates and better quality game.

So really the grip is mainly just people that for some reason feel self entitled that if you don’t get it and craft it you shouldn’t be able to have it. Quite silly really.

if you wanted legendaries to be special then they should have made them require skill to get not just a item that can be farmed. Because that doesn’t take skill.

It’s cool guys. Just be prepared for every single person you meet to assume you bought your legendary from a gold seller or the gem store. No props to you.

Hows that different then them buying all the materials and crafting one? lol fail logic there.

No props to begin with when you can farm/buy everything anyways…

This is the major flaw with GW2 nothing has meaning, because its all easily obtained/farmed/bought. It requires no skill. Just time or money/both.

doesnt really change anything, 90% of every legendary is easier to aquire (far easier) with Gold.

Precursor
Lodestones
Sigil
T6 Materials
Ectoplasm
Mystic Coins

the Karma/Badges of Honor/World Explorer are very easy compared to the amount of gold one must aquire.

nothing about a legendary weapon is actually legendary, the only part of it that makes any sense is World Explorer, and that covers you for 2 legendaries.
