Guild Wars 2

Well. We pay up to 5 gold for one piece and cant salvage it nor put it into the mystic forge, while its possible to do that with the karma things… The weapons are also just yellow rares, so they are really really expensive while being absolutely subpar for any level 80 character anyways..

Could you change that? Either dont make them as expensive as they are or give us the opportunity to salvage them for ectos…
Because now I have to manually destroy weapons for which i have spent around 30 gold while we can salvage the loot we get for free(our time)… that is really not consistent..

and also.. It is possible to salvage cultural armor.. why not the order armors and weapons??

I get what you are saying but consider this:

- first off the lack of salvage ability is a leftover from the beginning days when arenanet decided that purchased items should not be salvagable (multiple reasons for that, let’s just say: they went with this decision)

- the main reason you aquire those items is the skin. This is completely unaffected of how/if you can use the item or its rarity color wise. Many rare skins from vendors are rarer than exotic skins. The argument about their rarity is moot

- finally it wouldn’t make sense for arenanet to charge something for the item, then let you recuperate the cost somewhat. Why not make the item cheaper in the first place? Obviously the cost for vendor rare skin items is the purchase cost + the fact that you can’t salvage/mf the item

Correct, this does not make sense. In fact they should remove the ability to salvage cultural armor since it does not make sense especially now that we have a wardrobe system.

My guess is, this is just something they haven’t bothered with bringing up to date after all the changes made to the cosmetic systems in the game.
