So I’ve asked about this to others in the past but I’ll post it here in the hope that I’ll get a response from A-net:

Why am I not able to salvage certain armor/weapons/trinkets?

My main issue is that I have bought unsalvageable equipment, like those from lvl 80 Orr Karma vendors and WvW badge vendors, and now cannot salvage them in order to get my precious upgrades out of them. NOWHERE IN-GAME was it stated that these items couldn’t be salvaged like the many other pieces of equipment I pick up during my adventures. No note, no hint, no special tag, not anything. I have bought entire sets of said equipment, decked them out in expensive upgrades, and now that I want to change builds I have to either discard the upgrades or buy an Upgrade Extractor (this option is laughable, as the cost of these 1-use items are completely ridiculous, being 3-5x the cost of the upgrade itself).

Some people say that salvaging Exotics purchased with mainly Karma or WvW Badges will crash the economy with their salvaged components, and I agree. People have tons of excess Karma and Badges and would fully exploit exotic gear salvaging for Ectos and such.

I just want the upgrades that I invested into these deceitful items back.

My Solution:
Simply make it that when you salvage these special items, you only receive the upgrade(s) that you yourself have inserted. Nothing else will be salvaged.

Everyone always asks for something like this. I myself have 60+ gold worth of gems on my old armor that I can’t take off.
