Guild Wars 2

Any idea why we can’t use Superior Runes in the Mystic Forge? I happen to acquire a superior rune that I don’t want to use for my character. It turns out that the rune is soulbound after getting it from a dungeon chest. If we happen to get 4 of these unwanted runes, an option of gambling it through mystic forge should be OK, right?

There weren’t any answers from ANet team so it’s not clear if this is a game bug or an intended game design. If it’s the latter, can you please share the reason(s)?

I’ve wondered the same thing, since you can mystic forge other “top-tier” items such as exotic equipment and rare dyes. It doesn’t make much sense.
