Guild Wars 2

ive got weapon skins i want to sell now there not account bound and it wont let me ive tryed logging in and out several times rebooted pc and still cant sell them any one help plz?

I am having this same issue, I assume the OP is saying they have one of the previous event skins such as Jade or Molten and are unable to sell them.

I have 3 Jade skins I got from the event that I never used and am unable to list them on the trading post. They no longer say account bound but I can’t sell them, mail them, or deposit them in guild bank. They are acting as if they are still account bound.

Same. I have an unused Dragon’s Jade staff skin that won’t allow me to post to the BLTC.

Similar issue here – I had 2 fused daggers and a fused bow which could not be sold. After splitting the daggers into separate stacks, I could sell one of them (the “new stack” of one) while the other could still not be sold/traded.

also have this problem, i currently have a jade shield that i want to put up on the TP but the option to do so is not shown.

Hey guys just thought Id come post that I as well just traded a gold ticket for the sword of zodiac skin, I was going to give it to one of my guild mates but as soon as it went into my inventory it flagged as account bound. Earlier today, about 4 hours ago I bought a staff skin and sold in on the TP with no issue, same skin set… so something has changed in one of the very recent updates!

same issue, with a fused pistol skin and fused shield skin both unused and right click option show preview, use and destroy. also when going on the trading post and going to the sell item tab both skins don’t show up

this is happening with winter’s weapons too, I cant sell my winter’s arc shortbow skin

and this seems to be only an issue with skins existing prior to the patch today, all skins purchased after the patch are able to be posted on the TP with no problem. hope this helps with the investigation.

@ Criminal

I purchased my Zodiac sword skin with a ticket after the patch, around 8pm PST… not sellable and account bound. 2 Hour prior to that I had traded in a ticket for a staff skin of the zodiac, sold just find. Hrmmmm…. Im thinking it was related to the hot patch in between those times?

possibly, all I know is that all the skins on the TP were bought today that couldn’t be sold prior, no one has been able to sell skins they had previously that I have talked to. and the hot patch might have made new skins function same as ones sold before today… which is sad, I wanna sell my winter’s bow cause I wont ever use it and I know someone else will, also I want the gold

The Zodiac Sword is listed as Account Bound in the merchant window. No other Zodiac weapon skin is labelled Account Bound so it seems like a problem specific to the Sword version.. Note it’s the only Zodiac skin not available on the trading post because of this issue.

I have the same problem have a Fused Longbow Skin (Bought as soon as I got my fused ticket) and I only have 3 Options. Cannot mail / sell.

Anybody unable to sell Weapon skins like Dragon jade? I used my ticket yesterday to get a Dragon jade weapon and tried to sell it on the TP. However it was unable to do so. I double checked to see it didn’t say account bound/souldbound and it doesn’t yet i see dragon jade weapons for sale on the Trading post.

Possible bug?

Got the same problem with a Fused Dagger Skin which I’ve had sitting in the bank for a long time now. It says it isn’t account bound but it still acts like it is. Hope we can expect a fix soon.

This sounds similar to what happened with siege blueprints when those became non-bound.

There was a solution to this: Split the stack. The new stack was spawned into the inventory as the correct item, and then you could merge the old stack onto it and have them all be correct.

…but I doubt many, if any, of the people with this problem have enough of a given skin to have a stack to split.

I have this exact same problem. Unfortunately, I don’t have a stack of weapon skins.

I’m curious about the previous skins that people have already traded in. everyone who used them already are just going to get gypped out of the ability to make a boatload of money that people who held on to them or who just got them have the opportunity to make money from them? I don’t see it as very fair, but, life isn’t fair i guess. Is there any system prepared to reimburse the ones who already used them because they were account bound and just taking up space? I am one of the ones who used them to free up space and hope there is a plan for us. I can accept it if nothing is done. I can assure you though it will just reinforce the fact I wont be getting any more RNG items from anet. I don’t mean that as a threakittens just a system that hasn’t proven very equal or fair. At the least I would like to see where the skins we have purchased/unlocked in the past are made available account wide to use on other characters. Might be asking too much I don’t know. Throw us a bone here.

I don’t like you Josh Davis.

That doesn’t make sense and that’s not fair. Basically another screw you by Anet for not saving tickets. Redeemed your ticket for a weapon skin? Screw you, you can’t sell them. Redeemed your voting tickets or destroyed them after they couldn’t be used? Screw you, you should have saved them till the next update!

This makes no sense whatsoever. It’s wrong wrong wrong. There is no difference between an account bound skin purchased with a ticket now (after the patch), or purchased with a ticket in the past (before the patch). None. Yet you punish the last group, while you reward the first?

Josh, this makes no sense.

Once agian just because you might wanted to use the skin nope then you cant sell Anet either make it so nobody can sell or we all can sell it.

I’m all in for no sell stop ruining the econ.

I guess someone us feel like bad luck brain now.

Trades in ticket before August 20th.

Gets told oh your not allowed to sell it then.

Yes, it does seem to have become somewhat of a trend. A very unfortunate one.

As somebody who has invested countless of hours into this product it worries me greatly to see this kind of arrogant disregard for the playerbase. People spent time and money on this and a lot of us were overjoyed to hear that the restrictions were finally lifted only to find out that it doesn’t apply to those of us who traded in our tickets because…. well?

We’re not soothsayers here and I think it’s kind of unfair to expect us to somehow magically know how things are going to play out. Those tickets could just as easily have been made worthless and then other players would have been just as screwed over. This just isn’t cool. It’s wrong and plain mean.

This skin is tradeable but this one isn’t, even though it is the exact same skin, because you redeemed your ticket to early. Just like Anet to screw over their players. An apple is an apple unless it is at Anet, then it is ???

Agreed, if everyone can’t sell them then no one should be allowed to sell them.

Josh Davis.6015:

Only newly obtained skins in select sets are tradable. In the past, we intended those skins to be account-bound and not tradable. After the change, these skins will remain account-bound and not tradable. We will continue to monitor the value of those skins, but at this time, there is no plan to make tradability retroactive.

this really does not make any sense especially for the sets from fused weapons and before since back then the merchants that sold them we didn’t know we would have access too at a later date especially with winter’s day weapons that we didn’t have access too view again or even purchase until a few months ago. these skins are also selling for a lot on the trading post (from fused and down skins are going for 80-100+gold) and those of us that had bought them not thinking we would be able to in the future since it was seasonal are reasonably kitten ed right now.

as it has been said in this forums by roseria, if we cant all sell them make it so no one can sell them because some of these skins are holding a lot of value right now!

I really though is was gonna be a oh since you played at this time only you can get this skin and people later cant. It makes me really annoyed to see this kind of kitten being pulled.

I’ve been waiting 2 days to sell my Skin to get money for my Cultural Tier 3 and now this bombshell lands. So What your saying Josh is that we have to get Black Lion Claim tickets get a ‘New’ Skin from the vendor then sell that?

What If I stack the 2 of the same skin 1 bought now and 1 bought earlier and neither are selling what am I supposed to do If I just forked out my Claim Tickets for 200G and i’m now not going to get it.

TY Arena.net

I agree. This is a really really lousy way to treat people. Either make them all tradable or make none of them tradable.

If you were not going to make the change for everyone then the change should not have been made at all — really really stupid move and just plain mean in my opinion!!!

This is hardly fair and should be treated as such…not just thrown aside. It cripples your company image by doing such things.
However I will say this, there are many ways to remedy the situation… such as giving the people who have “account bound” ones a mail with a new ticket(s) while deleting the account bound ones. Or make them all sellable… or all NOT sellable.

Wow. I really didn’t see that coming. This makes absolute NO sense whatsoever. People that decided to use their tickets are punished and those that decided to hang onto them (for whatever reason) can make a nice little profit. That’s just perfect. I’ve been highly supportive of ArenaNet for years and this is something I simply cannot support. At all. All along these skins have been account bound and there was no indication that this would be changed for older skins. Changing this without warning is highly unfair. Not making it retroactive is just ridiculous.

It feels like little more than a giant “screw you” and that is not a good feeling. At the very least we should be able to trade our existing skin(s) for a new copy of an identical skin that can be traded.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Merged-Can-t-sell-my-weapon-skins/first#post2674404

So basically if you never used your Molten/Jade/Winter Tickets to purchase a weapon skin, you can now use them and then sell those skins on the Trading Post, give them to a friend, etc. However if you used you ticket to buy the skins but never used the skins you are unable to sell/trade them because they still act Account Bound even though it doesn’t say it.

How is this at all fair, to allow only some to sell but not the rest of us? They should either all be able to be sold or none should. Giving people the option to sell them, I should be able to have bought them today or a week ago and there be no difference.

got some skins sitting around which i will most likely not gonna be using, so i would also like to get rid of them and make a profit…

I for one want a valid answer as to why we are getting screwed on this.

Lets move this to this thread since this isn’t a “bug”. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/No-plans-to-retroactive-unused-Event-Skins/first#post2676101

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a technical limitation. If that’s the case, it seems like a merchant could be added that lets you exchange existing skin(s) for a new “fixed” version of the same skin(s). I don’t know how difficult it would be to implement such a thing but a simple stacking of multiple copies of the same skin fixes this issue. So surely it wouldn’t be that difficult to implement.

YES its a HUGEEEEE kittento everyone who selected a skin and stored it in the bank VS someone who stored the ticket in the bank and selected the skin NOW in order to sell it and make a huge profit.

Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and guess that it’s a coding issue too.

But it needs to be resolved. It’s clearly a bug.

Actually, the easiest fix would be to go ahead and leave them as is but make the black lion tickets work for ALL weapon skins. then have the trader give you a black lion ticket (or five if they want to make it equal the aetherblade skins) in exchange for a wintersday ticket, jade ticket or fused ticket. having all these different tokens is kind of dumb anyay.

That’s actually a really good idea.

still doesn’t make up for all the people that have been able to take advantage of selling skins while several of us have the same skins in our bank that we cant sell

Fused sceptre waitin to be sold, now i stare at it blankly in disgust. Pls find a way to get this sorted…

a merchant for us to exchange said account bound items for ones that can be traded and sold would be appreciated.

That’s the worst answer I could have hoped for. I have an unused Fused Greatsword sitting in the bank and I can’t sell it because of reasons. Neat.

How am I supposed to get a second Fused Greatsword? :L

This is pretty awful imo. Normally I don’t rage about this kind of thing – maybe because it rarely directly affects me – but in this case, I’m hopping mad. Like, all sorts of up in arms and stuff.

That’s a really unfortunate answer. So many changes are constantly made to the mechanics of this game, that often inactivity is rewarded like this. I see no difference between this and the retroactive karma changes the developers apologized for; in both situations players had certain expectations beforehand about how their item systems behaved. Addressing the issue like this is indicative of poor planning.

None of this answers my question….

I have a ZODIAC SWORD SKIN… it is ACCOUNT bound, it SHOULD not be, its a NEW skin, one of the sellable ones according to Josh up there… is there any info on this? Josh?
