Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Since new Legendary Weapons are coming with HoT, do you guys think they should be tradeable or account bound on acquire? How about their requirements, should they stay the same or be different?

Here are my 2 cents:
1. new legends should be account bound on acquire;
2. precursors for new legends can be tradeable, if they will be available as drops; they are just an ingredient;
3. new requirements for crafting the new legends should exist to make them mean more than just cash grind;
4. WvW requirement should be more relevant, rank 14 and 500 Badges of Honor mean almost nothing and the WvW completion is only a boring grind where you just need to wait for your server to change color;
5. there should be a PvP requirement as well, since now legends can be used in PvP;
6. increasing requirements for crafting more legends, perhaps?

To me this seems ANet’s chance to redesign the legends, to make them what they should have been from the start. Legends should represent the mastery of every aspect of the game. I know in the end it all comes down to money, but the fact that any current legend can be bought with money undermines their very being, IMO.

Thoughts?

How so? But, regardless, everything can be trolled if there be will to troll – the internet has taught us that much.

It would be cool to get as many opinions as possible, perhaps some of them might even get considered…

1. Yes
2. NO, it meant to be acc bound because of no gamble. If you want unbound precursors go gamble in MF.
3. No, they are legendary weapons not gem store weapons. They are meant to be hard earned.

About #2 – I was only talking about the precursors being tradeable if they are available as drops (from chests, mobs, mf etc.); if they only come from speciffic collections, then of course they should be account bound!

I’m not sure I fully understand what you wrote about #3… You disagree that there should be additional requirements to obtaining them, requirements that should not be cash related (e.g. completing jumping puzzles, activities, adventures, achievements, stuff like that)? It’s confusing since you say they should be hard earned, but you also say no to what I said…
