Q:

Excelsior,
It is currently possible to give WvW blueprints to someone else. If you drop it to the ground and someone else picks it up to put it in his or her inventory.
The blueprint can be donated this way despite the soulbound.

I’d like to ask if this is considered a bug and exploitable?
Thank you

A:

It is perfectly fine, they have mentioned the idea of making them tradeable but it isn’t possible atm due to issues with codeing and they dont have someone working on it currently.

This is 100% correct. Dropping the bundle so someone else can pick it up and deploy the weapon (or pack it up for later use) is totally acceptable.

Thanks for posting Mike. Would you mind answering another question while you’re at it?
-Is dropping siege blueprints for other characters to pick up an intended function? It seems very bizarre.

It is indeed intended (and bizarre). We would actually prefer to just make the blueprints tradeable, but [B]there are a couple of funky code interactions[/B] that happen to make that impossible for us currently. It’s something we’d like to address at some point, but it’s not very high on the priority list currently.

Also;

We tried changing blueprints to being account bound and it completely broke the pack up skill when holding the blueprint so we can’t do that either unfortunately.

I’m hoping that someday may find some programmer magic that can solve this so we can at least get rid of them being soulbound, but[B] nobody is looking at it currently[/B].

(Also, in before CC Eva, “Since this question has been answered, I’m going to lock this thread”).

Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.

I would also say to those low tier servers that don’t have enough people to WvW a lot, encourage fellow server members to go do the jp and you can offer them some silver for their siege if they dont want it. That means more silver for them to pve with and more weapons for us to WvW with.
