Guild Wars 2

They should just change it from unique to unique equip. Problem solved.

They should just remove that feature from this gear. It doesn’t really add anything to it anyway. Complicating things for the sole purpose of complicating things is never a good idea.

I just did the same thing on my thief. And yes, unknowing, I right click equipped both which just switched them out and made both soulbound. People told me that if I infused one I would be able to wear both so I spent upwards of 20 gold for the mats to forge a fine infusion.

THIS DOES NOT WORK.

One infused, one not, still can’t wear both. And infusing did not make the ring account bound either like some people said. Live and learn I guess.

This is a failure of communication, but “infusing” an ascended item is different from adding an infusion to an item. Infusing (which is currently only possible for rings and back pieces) is when you craft Infused versions of your item by putting them in the Mystic Forge (with other crap). So for example, your “Ring of Red Death” will now read “Ring of Red Death (Infused)”. The only difference is that “Infused” versions add +5 Agony Resistance, without using the Infusion slot.

So, you could wear these two together.

Qori.9671:

it’s a unique item in the items description.

Yes but I had no idea what that meant until today.

You had no idea what the word “unique” meant? Dictionaries are usually awesome tools for understanding words.

Oxford Dictionary for unique:

“being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else”

By this logic, you should only be able to buy 1, skipping the whole issue of not being able to equip 2. I’m tired of people saying “the meaning is in the word!”.

No it’s not. You don’t know the definition of unique. You just know its context within MMOs.

Udir, write a ticket and explain the support team what happened to you. Maybe they will help you out as they did for the OP.
At least they will see that it is happening to more players than only to one. ^^

I had this exact same thing happen also, I sent a ticket to support late last week and Anet replaced my ring earlier today.

A big thank you to Anet! even though it was my mistake I am happy I can save my laurels for something else now!
