Guild Wars 2

A valid question I feel. What do you all think?

I don’t know if they will be, but I think whether they should be depends on how hard they are to make.

If each character can only make one, or each account can only make a limited number, and especially if they take a lot of time and/or money to make then I don’t think there would be much harm in letting people sell them because it won’t have a huge impact on their availability.

But if for example you go through the whole collection or scavenger hunt or whatever and at the end of it you get a recipe to craft Dusk and then you can make one per day they should definitely be account bound.

I hope so, and I hope so more, that HoT in general will turn all precursors and legendaries finally into accountbound weapons, making it impossible to sell them via TP.

The only stuff, that should be sellable from the TP should be the craftign parts for the legendary, that aren’t the pres or final products.
Those Gifts, they should become sellable instead, like Gift of Might, Gift of Magic, Gift of Weapon (Insert Legendary), Gift of Metal and so on..
All this stuff, that should be sellable via TP only, but not the precursors and complete legendaries self.

Precursors should be only receiveable from Crafting, the new Collection Quests for them or as Drops from Champion, WvW Rank, Dungeon, Fractal Chests, whereas World Bosses should drop finally also Tokens to turn them in after xx amount of Tokens for direct Rewards, like in case of Tequatl for Sunless Weapons or Precursor Parts.

Anet has to remove finalyl precursors and legendaries from the TP, cause they are one big reason, why the game got at all so infested with Gold Seller Spam in the hope, people use these sites to get quicker the needed gold to simply buy off their precursords or complete legendaries from the TP, instead of having to actually work for them in the game and doing in the game various things in all areas of the game to become worthy wielding such a weapon that on the course of the progression of gaining it, lets you receive also its LEGEND, telling you, why that weapon is legendary, so that each of them has also a lore to tell you.

I just hope the new legendary weapons are account bound. That is the single most important thing to me in this expansion.

All MMOs have gold sellers, regardless of what items are available.

Personally I’m very glad precursors can be traded because otherwise the majority of people who want a legendary would never be able to get one.

Legendaries on the other hand shouldn’t be tradable.

I would like the precursors obtained via the “hunt” to be account bound. I don’t mind legendaries being sold. I’ve known people who are in the middle of making one, then decide they want a different one. Making them sellable allows for that margin of error.

LOL.

The reason why precursors and Legendaries are in the game is because ArenaNet wants players to grind (regardless of the entire “no grind philosophy” speech).

If the Legendaries themselves are not account bound (and their stats-changing propery isn’t), what makes you think that the precursors could possibly ever be account bound?

I have a feeling they’ll be account bound… but I also have a feeling the Mystic Toilet will spit them out too.
