Soulbound vs. Account Bound
I would disagree on turning EVERYTHING account bound, but having gear account bound doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but then again it takes away from people who worked hard to get ascended so they could share it among characters.

Why would making soul bound gear account bound take anything away from people who worked hard to get ascended gear?
Ascended gear was already turned from soul bound to account bound after tons of people complained about the cost to outfit their alts. That it unfairly punished those who rotated between a series of characters and forced them to choose a main to outfit. Especially those who wanted to do fractals. And it was honestly the right step to take.
I agree as characters should be more disposable. Give players more incentive to re-roll characters. It’ll spice up game play by giving players something to do.

They’ve already made almost everything account bound, most of the soul bound stuff is either stupid stuff (like Dragon Bash fireworks) or pointless stuff (like level-reward gear that is mostly junk). I see no reason not to convert it all to account bound.

Exotic armor, trinkets, weapons?

With the wardrobe though, all that stuff is fairly cheap.

Sorry?
The wardrobe is skin-only, and I’m using on average 2-3 different stat gear on my 8 (actually 10) chars. How is the wardrobe helping me with all those armors?
And then I did not even mentioned the weapons..
(As ascended trinkets are cheaper, I got enough to cover the basic-builds for my alts, thou switching them is annoying, I can’t afford to get more sets of the same stats..)
Ofc it’s not expensive for most players, but from WvW you get only badge of honor gear (or crafting, but that’s same for everyone), which you can’t salvage, so you don’t really want to place an expensive rune/sigil in it (and don’t even have every stat-combo).
It would be much more fun to experiment with builds if I could use the same exotic armor on more characters.

I would certainly love for my gathering tools to be account bound so that I can choose which toon to be on before logging into the game and picking up the tools for use. I spent real money for them I should be able to use them on any character I want not fixed on the main character only because sometimes I enjoy just running around gathering and picking up mobs along the way in various characters depends on my mood.
So the naysayers are saying that we shouldn’t have the ability to move items like endless gathering tools even though we paid good money for those tools? yeah because that makes sense right? ….smh

They are account bound already.

This could be an easy change to make. There’s another thread about the “benefits of multiple characters”. Well, this would be a benefit.
