Guild Wars 2

Like many people now, I have several characters that it enjoy playing. My main character has all the majority of my siege on it and I find it frustrating when switching to another character that I have to go out and purchase the same siege all over again.

If siege was account bound I could park it in the bank and swap it to whatever character I needed it on that day.

Is there a good reason why siege is soul bound and not account bount?

I don’t understand this either i personally think its to much soulbound things there should just not be any soulbound or choose to if worried about them getting stolen like the gw1 customize option which also granted you a 20% more autoattack damage.

My first 80 was a Thief. Did a lot of WvW on him, built up a huge amount of seige. Then I got a Necro to 80 and it became my new 80. Tossed my Thief’s seige into the bank, tried to withdraw it with my Necro only to find out it was soulbound and not account bound and couldn’t help but think “WHAT.”

I don’t see a good reason for having it soulbound instead of account bound.

IMHO It should even be craftable and tradeable on BLTC; but then again, I came here from EVE.

Yeah, i don’t see why it should even be account bound since guilds should be allowed to pool their siege in the vault. It should also be crafted, but that would probably require some reworking of tradeskills and maybe even siege itself.

Aren’t superior blueprints craftable?

The mystic forge stuff is still bound and still requires you to buy the siege as mats so it really doesn’t accomplish what I was going for. Which is another way to produce siege without having to farm for gold, or farm kills/zerg surf for badges. Personally I get enough badges to take care of it, but most people in my guild don’t get nearly as many kills as i do.

Even though siege is soulbound, you can still give it to other players. Double click the siege blueprint to equip it, and press the drop bundle key (~). Now another player can pick it up! Of course you can’t do this with your own alts because it disappears if the player that drops it goes too far away or logs out, but you can get a friend to be a transfer buffer for you.
