All the weapons I have bought with badges of honor in WvW cannot be salvaged/forged or even sold to merchants. The only thing I can do with them is manually delete them, making them worthless "/
Surely this should be changed?

This is the exact same as Karma gear in PvE, one could say badges are the equivalent of such.

Many would likely agree this should be changed, but its hard to say what effect it would have on the games economy. Which is likely why they’ve remained so.

Except they aren’t equivalent since they cost GOLD + badges. They need to make them salvageable.

They used to be salvageable, the changed the cost a long time ago at this point to cost fewer badges. Since the amount of WvW badges you can get would allow for a larger flood of MF exchange and raw mats they chose to save the economy and make that impossible.

Yeah they cost gold and come with no rune/sigil they should be salvageable,and the stuff that cost 44k karma should be salvageable to it not like it easy to farm 44k karma and get nothing for it when you upgrade you gear…

So its ok to flood the market with dungeon stuff, but with www stuff no?

I’m pretty sure the decision was made a long time ago (when karma, at least, was dramatically easier to get).

Dungeon loot is limited in a large way to 1/day/path where WvW you can zerg all day, *cough*hackgate*cough* and get endless badges. If they capped the number of badges a day like they do for hj in spvp then I would be on your side but alas it isn’t.

Also lets not forget the large amount of badges you get from achievement chests as well.

This kind of thread pops up everywhere almost daily, so I’ll give my standard answer:

It’s this way because people found ways to exploit using them. There is no comment on changing it, although many players agree that they should at least be able to salvage Runes/Sigils from these items and receive NO Ectos etc. and leave them as un-toiletable.

I am one of the many players that agree we should be able to get our runes/sigils out of these things. Crafting ascended armor, then needing to buy a new set of strength or traveller runes is awful.
