“When you apply an upgrade (rune or infusion) to a piece of legendary armor and there is already an upgrade in the slot you have selected, the existing upgrade will be moved to your inventory and the new upgrade will replace it. Simple as that.”
we need this mechanic for legendary weapons too.
If I have the legendary armor I can change it to any build just by putting the runes and swapping the stats, but I can not do the same with a legendary weapon that works with 2 builds I will have to have 2 of the same weapon for different builds only Because the weapon does not have the same mechanics as the armor to replace the upgrade without destroying it.

Absolutely. Many people already said the same, asking for this mechanic to be implemented for legendary weapons as well when the announcement was made. I really hope they will comply with our wish — we asked nicely, after all.
ANet already plans to add this feature Tuesday (or shortly afterward). They didn’t mention it yet, as to avoid distracting from the main announcement that legendary armor arrives with the next patch.
It turns out the feature is more complicated (for some reason) for weapons and it’s not yet ready. Since ANet doesn’t announce features without a shipping date, they haven’t said anything.
It never occurred to ANet that players would want this functionality for weapons, despite all the posts about it for over four years.
Which do you think is more likely?

I hope for #1 and am keeping my fingers crossed, but am afraid it could still turn out to be #2 (although I can’t imagine why it would be “more complicated” for weapons ).

The second option seems to be the reason, but I hope for the first, the last one I do not think it would be because Anet makes many changes always looking at the quality of life and practicality so I think this mechanic has already crossed their minds

Fourth possibility: Anet knows that players want the feature for weapons but have decided, for whatever reason, tonot add it.
Personally I very much hope that it is either not added to legenda4y weapons or that it is added to all level 80 weapons of exotic tier or higher.

Sorry, I don’t think your request makes any sense. Why do you not want it added to Legendary Weapons but to exotic ones?
Note that I said exotic tier and higher. This includes exotic, ascended, and legendary.
If it is not added to exotic and higher then it is my hope that it is not added to weapkns at all.
This is a bad suggestion. You pay thousands of gold for an effects and utility, how is that supposed to change now? It wasnt the case that the devs never wanted to have this added. It was the case that this need became bigger with the reveal of the armor. The armor also didnt need to have it it was due to player feedback that the came up with the rune swap system. Players that pay so much gold deserve at least that. How do ppl who buy exotics for 10 g deserve this convinience?

People bought their legendary weapons when they had a list of features that did not include sigil swapping of any sort. Buying something that clearly does not include a feature does not entitle one to that feature. It is no more deserved by legendary weapon owners than ascended or exotic weapon owners. Neither paid for it.
I can see this as an endgame (ish) feature, hence my suggestion of restricting it to level 80 gear of the afore mentioned tiers.

Nor was rune swapping a feature for legendary armor. They dont mention it anywhere ppl asked for it to be the case and anet delivered. Same can happen for legendary weapons. Everyone who crafted or had an asc armor did it without knowing that the armor would get a stat swap feature with anthology of heroes. With your way of thinking it should have been the same with exotic armor but its not because asc is a big investment compaired to exotics. Same with weapons exotics are a tiny investment asc weapons are a bigger one hence you can stat swap and legendary since they are even bigger of an investment makes sense that sigil should be swapable now that this tech exists and it will be aplied to thee other legendary items in the game.

Rune swapping for legendary armor is part of its release state. It was not part of legendary weapon release state. People bought and received legendary weapons in their advertised state. You are correct that legendary owners have spent more…and they have received everything they paid for.
If more dev time, great or small, is going to be spent on one tier of endgame (ish) armor the I think it should be added to all.
Sounds good but it may make legendary too useful over asnced level gear. Some where down the line most ppl are going to have these and sigils supplies will not be destroyed just simply held over.

No they didnt the stat swap is barely used because you cant change the sigils…

Giving sigil swap to all lvl 80 tiers would destroy the sigil market same with runes and armors. I meam a legendary weapon is usually 10 or even 20 times the price and effort of the asc doesnt it make sense that it saves you from the trouble of running multiple weapons? And in the end.. its just convinience its not like legendary gear make you better or stronger.

Choosing not to use something that one chose to pay for does not mean that one did not get what one paid for. It was advertised, it was purchased, and it was delivered in its advertised state. Choosing not to use it after the fact does not change the transaction.
ok then legendary weapon should take it because such systems should be consistend all around (legendary weapons armor and maybe backpacs too) no trinkets.
Asc you can stat swap armor weapons except trinkets.
Exotic is the basic end game geat you so yeah you get the basic package

Consistency is great. The ultimate consistency would be the same treatment of all endgame gear. Adding new functional inconsistencies between engame gear options would be the antithesis of consistency.

Legendary already destroy the markets no more need to swap gear combos or do pve for new sets of combos. Why not make the sigil account bound after you swap them?

It will devalue legendary weapons if all the previous ranks should have this functionality. Why go for legendary weapons when you can have this feature with exotics and you can just have tones of diff exotics for various stats? Ppl play with getting the best gear in mind and it should feel rewarded when getting it compaired to getting an exotic. Now this whole legenary system is anti gw2 in the way that its grind that you were told you wouldnt have to do, but 5 years now in and since we went down the rabbithole keeping consistency between the existing way of things is the way to go.

By that reasoning, I take it you want anet to revert legendary weapons to exotic quality? After all, they were exotic with fixed stats from the beginning.

This is mathematically impossible. Legendary weapons had their value established without this functionality. If Legendary weapons (LW), supposedly, have a value greater than exotics (EW) then:
LW > EW
If you add sigil switching (SS) to both then the statement remains true:
LW+SW > EW+SS.
Legendaries were sold based on factors not including sigil switching and which factors would remain in place.
*Originally just the skin and rarity.
*then higher stats than exotics.
*and stat switching
None of those factors would be decreased. Everything that a Legendary player paid for would remain in place and would not be added to exotics.

Nope,
I expect (opinion here) that the majority of legendary weapons were purchased or crafted after the change. Taking away what people have paid for is not something that I have suggested.

My bad there i meant asc. But back to legendary armor the armor was sold to us as simple the legendary version of asc armor with the same percs weapons have. That changed while making it and now we get this extra perk. And i ask why not give that perk to the other legendary rarity items exclusively as they did with armor and instead all tier of lvl 80 armor should have that.

The product, legendary armor, was sold as having the features listed for legendary armor. Technically it has not been sold yet because the product has not been released and the final crafting cost not complete. Until this week what exactly the product was, as the cosmetics of legendaries were their original designed feature, were not even set..
the product legendary armor was sold as that as an armor with legendary utilities aka stat swap. There was no talk from the devs of the existance of rune swap only after player feedback that became the case. And again just like asc armor has more utility now compaired to release why cant legendary weapons do too? Since the armor does. It pretty similar with ghost thief tbh why when all the traps dealt physical dmg thief traps were? Its an inconsistancy in the system. Sam inconsistancy exists with weapon and armor (legendary ) and should be fixed.

I would love for legendary weapons to get sigil swap too. If other endgame (ish) tiers do as well.
I just dont want to see an increase in the functionality gap between exotics and legendaries which were originally posited as existing purely as a rare cosmetic option.
it doesnt matter what they started back in the day since now they are something defferent. Nobody tells you to go for them but since other legendaries get this treatment its unfair to weapons not to.
They didnt have to make rune swapping happen,in the end it’s all about the skin.
Same goes for leg weapons. Most people who raid regularly already have almost every profession geared in asc armor with multiple sets. Although swapping runes is convenient, it wont have the major impact that people make it out to be.
I will be crafting my own soon enough but tbh evert toon i have is geared fully so its only for the skin.
true im saying that why not have that for legendary weapons its not gonna break everything a few sigils will drop yes but rightfully so since some prices are absurd. But im more about keeping it consistend on all legendaries

Strange, isn’t it, that predicting “that’ll be wrong” every time a statement is predicate on the idea that the anet developers are complete and utter kittens … turns out to have a hundred percent hit rate.
This is a bump (Sorry). But I’m still curious about this feature. I’ve crafted about 6 legendary weapons now, and swap em between characters… Been running different builds lately, and need new sigils to swap when ever i decide to change builds. Has Anet given any new details on this?
