I’m a completionist and a perfectionist. I made/will made 4x berserker, 2x assassin and 2x condition-style ascended armor for my 8 professions.
I don’t want to use some mix&matched ascended pieces from boxes I randomly find that don’t have the right stats.

As an example, I just found a Wei Qi’s armor box (sentinel stats) and I just can’t use it. I don’t play with those stats and I don’t want to. Anyways, I’m sure it had a great value if it wasn’t account bound, because sentinel insignias are hard to get. Now what to do with the box?
a) keep them and hope for a future change that makes the stats useable for me, the vendor price higher, … etc
b) open them and waste bank slots for armor I nearly never use
c) sell them for the laughable price at the vendor

Okay, so my discussion topic would be:
1) What do you do / think is the best thing to do with those unwanted boxes?
2) What were the reasons to make asc. boxes accound bound? What would be advantages/disadvantages of making them sellable?

I just open them to unlock the skin/color of any skin that I dont have.

Then I just delete the armor piece.

1) Idk, hold onto them for now, I guess, since they aren’t nearly as prevalent as the rings. Maybe they’ll eventually make the equipment salvageable, or at least provide some other option of what to do with them.

2) I would guess one of the reasons was to force players to reach 500 crafting before they can get ascended gear. While you can buy the T7 materials to make it, you still need to have the crafting level.

Keep it in your bank because you could always change your mind.

Probably best to save them at the moment, as some say for possible future salvaging or for HoT. Who knows, maybe they change up stats/gameplay in such a way that other stats may become more useful.

I wouldn’t be against being able to toss the box in the forge with some other materials to get the stats I want.

Yeah, for the stupid ammount of work you have to go through to get ascended stuff they could at least allow us to put random dropped rings from fractals and stuff from boxes in the Mystic Forge and have a re-roll on them to see if we could land something useful.
That and/or maybe salvage them for 1 T7 material With the odd chance of getting the insignia/inscription. I mean you still need the 500 crafting, and you’ll always need more mats than 1.

I can see your point, but boxes from Tequatl, 3head Wurm, PvP, WvW etc. don’t require crafting. The crafting part is fine, but those extra RNG dependant boxes are what bugs me.
I just don’t think that it would crash the whole market or something. Or how about a new option beneath equip parts: same stat insignias/inscriptions that are actually sellable, if you don’t need the armor.

Open them, unlock the skins, sell/delete. Simple.

Once expansion launches, you may be able to salvage asc. equipments. I’d not vendor anything at this time.

I already have all skins, so every chest would net 1G or something, even though I’m sure that there are people who would pay 50G+ for it if they could. I rather hope for a future change than getting a few gold, I guess…

Is this just a possibility or do you have a source or at least some indications?

Hold onto armor boxes in case something about the meta changes and you end up wanting those stats or the possibility of salvage/trading them.

Weapons consider whether the color of ascended skin is something worth it to you. If so get the weapon with that skin that you want. If not do the same thing as suggested with armor.
