Guild Wars 2

So I’m sure this was brought up before…. But it’s still not fixed.

Dungeon runes, whether you get them from the dungeon in the chests or if you forge them, they are soul bound, rather than account bound. This is annoying because if for some reason you get a rune you would use, you likely would not get it on the character you could use it on.

For instance, I would never do a dungeon on a character than didn’t have all of its proper runes or gear.

Also, being soul bound the second they are forged just seems a little off. What is the point?

Thoughts ?

And before you say it I’m sure there’s a way to make the soul bound runes account bound through transmuting. But that just seems like a waste to me!

As all the dungeon currencies are stored in the “account wallet” anyway, why not change all soulbound runes to accound bound. I don’t see any potential for exploits or other problems.

Agree.

Can someone answer this? Anyone??

I’m all for soulbound shinies the character can show off… ‘See that Ele there? That’s a Zmorg Staff on his back. He climbed the 99 stories of the Doom Tower, defeated all 7 harbingers, and did single battle with Zmorg…. And lived.’

The runes however, you need a full set of 5-6 usually, just one is a bit of a waste of potential. I see every reason to let players pool these from any source, and little argument to keep them soulbound on acquire.

Not to say there isn’t an issue, but you can get these runes with dungeon tokens.

That’s not the issue, Dorian. The issue is that you get these runes and they are soulbound on acquire. Whether you buy them with tokens or not.

Side note: Why won’t a Dev or someone answer this thread?

Well, it’s in Game Bugs and it’s not a bug, so they’ll probably ignore it.

Well there is literally no other place to put it. It may not be a bug, but I can’t imagine it is working as intended.

It probably is working as intended – it’s just intended to work in a way that’s now outdated. Try putting this in Game Discussion. They probably won’t say anything anyway, but it’ll be more likely to get attention there.
