Guild Wars 2

Is this intended design? The chests that they come in are account bound…

The official answer is that the chests are bugged and are also supposed to be soulbound. Check the “Notarized Scroll Frustration” thread in this forum for what players think about this (spoilers, nobody thinks it’s a good idea).

I hope they reconsider their design in the future, but my hopes are not high.

Thanks to what are probably bugs you can still use your Proofs on other characters. Put them in your bank. Also the chests are account bound. Not sure how long this will last but I am taking full advantage as long as possible.
