Guild Wars 2

Karma is now account wide. WvW badges are account wide. The wallet that holds our coin is account wide.

There really is NO reason that the items that we purchase continues to be soul bound.

I have 12 characters which means I have duplicate classes with different builds etc. Anything I now buy using the shared currencies should be usable by all of my characters that are able to equip it. This would enable me to swap sets around depending on which one I felt like building a certain way. Having to buy new gear that’s soul bound everytime I want to try something new is nasty. I currently have a number of armor sets in my bank that are soul bound and have had to buy sets exactly like them for other characters that use the same armor type.

There’s no sense in having armor/weapons soul bound, period!

Then there are the guild weapons that are ingredients for the HoT guild weapons.

On the other hand keeping these soulbound makes it more “fair” since the situation would be equally bad for everyone instead of being worse for people who have already destroyed the original item because they just wanted to unlock the skin.

Someone is probably going to suggest legendary armor but forget the issue with upgrades …

What’s passed is passed really. I’ve destroyed more than my share of soulbound items because I just couldn’t use them anymore. Most can’t even be salvaged.
