Why are siege blueprints soulbound and not account bound?
You can currently pass them to other people using the drop bundle button.

I’m gonna guess…. I think its this way so that the winning side in WvWvW cannot farm the jump puzzle on every single character they make and hand all of thier siege to thier “main” pvp char.
Its pretty easy to get in there with Mesmer portal, grab the chest, get the goods and log to another char and repeat for as many chars as you have. Imagine doing this every single day, on 5+ chars on one side ( the winning side in WvW— since we all know even match ups arent existant)
Ofc, this is all speculation. But makes perfect sense
Except you already can pass siege off.
So…

I also think its a bit silly. Both badges and gold can be sent between alts, but the blueprints cannot. I started with a guardian who now has alot of extra skill points. I switched to a necro lately. I went to make a bunch of superior blueprints with my guardian and couldn’t trade them… GG.
Also mystic salvage kits are soulbound… wtf?

Radio, get a friend in your guild.
Double click siege. click drop bundle (green arrow)
Have friend pick up blueprint, hit #2 ability
repeat for all your bp’s
Switch to alt where you want the bp’s. have him do the same back to you.
Yeah it shouldnt be soulbound but the way around it isnt too much hassle.

Siege weapons shouldn’t be ballanced around jumping puzzles (imo).
Account bound would be much preferred.

Would be nice if Anet actually had a reason for some of the things that are soulbound that seemingly shouldn’t be.

I would love to know the awnser to this also, since badges are hard to get I often do the wvw jumping puzzles on al of my characters, and after that I end up with alot of siege which I dont use because I don’t wvw on all of my characters ( because of low level etc. ) If they would just make them account bound we wouldt have to drop them all and let other people pick em up, which is quite time intensive.
