Guild Wars 2

This is beyond kittened; at least allows us to get the runes back. Jesus Christ!
This also goes for karma armor JESUS CHRIST!

Cause WvW has been neglected for a long time and basic things like this should have been salvageable from day 1 :-/

I’ve still got a fair bit of WvW gear in my bank from about a year ago that I hope (one day) will be salvageable – I mean, they’ve done it for dungeon armor, why not WvW? We pay in coin AND badges, it’s not like it’s going to ruin anything.

If they don’t want said WvW gear to produce any ecto, then at least allow us to salvage our runes we placed on the armor that we no longer use. It’s the least they can do.

I think the WvW gear is considered a bit more easily obtainable… I believe A-net fear that they might have another fiasco like with a certain Karma Vendor at launch who was selling Rare item at a very low price, and filled the Economy with Ectos.

IMO the best solution to all these is to reduce the amount of salvage of certain items to a desired appropriate percentage despite their rarity, rather than just make them unsalvagable or overly expensive.
