Guild Wars 2

I’ve searched the forum, and only see gathering tools soulbound when trying different toons so I do not believe this has been brought up (other than in my bug report).

I’ve been coming across many recipes and food items from Karma venders that are suddenly soulbound once purchased – and no mention at the vendor that it will be soulbound. This puts an undue burden on a crafter to share their skills with another as the actual crafting toon (not even the person that wishes a specific item, or even an alt on the same account that has the karma to burn) must then go to the location and get the recipe/food spending their time, silver (to port) and karma.

Regarding recipes: If someone (a guildie perhaps) wants a specific karma recipe item – they should be able to purchase it to help the crafter ‘learn’ it so that it can be made for them.

Regarding food: Dyes use a TON of materials, many times from karma merchants – in order to make a dye for others that requires karma ingredients, the crafter is personally out karma that can add up quickly.

If able, would love to know if these items being soulbound is a bug (it sure seems to be) and if when corrected – if the currently purchased items will revert to un-soulbound. If not a bug, respectfully request this be reviewed by TPTB as it is contrary to sharing/assisting others in game.

They changed it because people were exploiting karma for gold using the vendors. They actually banned alot of people for this.

But agreed, they SHOULD let you know that its now soulbound.
