Guild Wars 2

Just got the Mistward Legguards.
When I first saw them I started really looking forwards to using them on my currently leveling Revenant, when he reached 80.
So I used my newly done Reaper to get the EXP needed to buy the last part from the Exalted. Fought through the battle of that giant golden city. Got the parts. Unlocked the legguards. Put them in the bank. Relogged my Revenant and..! You guessed it! (Probably from the title, you little cheat…) SOULBOUND to a different character!

Is this an oversight? A sadly mistaken “good idea”—? Or are the conspiracy-types claiming that everything A-net does is to make us buy more gems on to something here?

I’m positive this is an oversight.
Post it in the bug forum where someone will actually look at it.
