So about sigil swapping
Yes thats exactly what they want you to do since they sell extra bag space, or you could go universal sigils on weapons like air and accuracy
When asked about sigil swapping on legendary weapons the devs mumbled something about economics and the sigil market, then moved on. Don’t get your hopes up.
The technology exists to do it. For it to tank the sigil market, all players would have to have all their toons outfitted in legendary weapons. That’s simply not true.

What they said was that they were on their way to adding sigil swapping and encountered something that prevented them from implementing it. We speculated that the sole reason was economic, but we don’t really know.
I really think the gear system needs an overhaul and that the ability to swap upgrades would be part of it. I don’t like the idea of keeping multiple sets of gear for each toon or creating extra L80s to avoid that. And I’d love it if ANet would keep us informed about high profile requests, the way that some of their devs have done about their pet projects (Mac not-BETA client, material storage overhaul, and the fractal & raid teams… we learn about those regularly).
However, I also recognize that it’s not realistic to expect we can have that for all the things I think (or even a majority of the community thinks) are important. We’ll get sigil swapping… I’m just not holding my breath.

if that’s what they truly think then it’s just another bad design on their part.
Hi,
Make Transmutation Charges (TC) extract runes from armor and sigils from weapons for an amount of X:
Hero:Equipement:RightClickItem:ExtractUpgrade:PopUpShowingTCCosts:OKorCancel
The economical impact is scalable/controlable, because ArenaNet can set the X.
Legendary items are untouched.
And the programmer are happy because they can reuse source code and a given currency.I hope this suggestion will get attention.
Have a nice day
And what should they do about the fancy upgrade extractors they sell?

I’ve never heard of anyone buying one, since the gold-to-gem price is higher than the price of any sigil.
