Im pretty sure its the Runes that become account bound after you extract them.

“Im pretty sure its the Runes that become account bound after you extract them.”
No it isn’t. I checked that. I extracted one rune from an exotic helm and the rune after extraction was not bound to the character.
I didn’t attempt to extract a rune from a pair of ascended shoulders after seeing that warning. Heavy ascended armor is passed back and forth between my guardian and revenant. I don’t need to have my ascended armor bound to the character extracting the rune.
This burden and imposition is very limiting on players that want to try new builds. Exotic gear is not cheap either. I think it would be very nice if Anet would remove this type of “penalty” for purchasing their upgrade extractor item and using it in ascended gear items that the game graciously allows us to share between our characters.

What runes do you have that are worth the price of using upgrade extractors? Strength and Exuberance superior runes are only 8 gold a piece. The price of 6 upgrade extractors when buying with gold is roughly 240 gold. You could have bought a new set of 6 runes for 48 gold. Even buying gems with money, you’d have been better off converting it all to gold, buying new runes and still have an extra 120 gold leftover.
Upgrade extractors are the most overpriced item on the gem store. I’ve purchased plenty of things from the gem store, but I’ll never buy one of these.
