Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been brought up but I would like to know if this is an exploit that can get you banned or not, I am very protective of my account and want to make sure what I do is legit or not so thats why I am asking.

In WvW you can get siege equipment multiple ways, buying, jumping puzzle, laurels, etc. All of these are Soulbound items. Now these items you can drop on the ground and other people can pick them up, even opposing invaders can. Commanders sometimes ask for gold to help them supply attacks or for people to drop the siege on the ground for them to pick up.

Now here is where it gets questionable. Is it allowed for someone to drop the item to a friend then switch to another character to pick it back up from them? In such a way that you could have all your siege on one character, lets say your Commander character?

I know most of us do the WvW JP on multiple characters but really only play WvW with one character especially if its a character that has the Commander Icon. So I would appreciate knowing whether this is allowed or not. It seems odd to make these items soulbound instead of account bound if this is not intended as is.

Any thoughts on this?

No, this is not considered an exploit, Anet said so a couple of weeks ago here on the forums.

They said that they even want to make siege not-account bound but there were issues, so they see this ‘trade’ option as a viable way to trade siege until they implemented the real option.

^ What he said.

I believe the post he is referencing is in the WvW subforum somewhere.

They are OK with you doing this.

Siege should be account bound tbh, instead of all the hassle of dropping and switching characters.
