Guild Wars 2

I have a Winter’s Reach Longbow skin that hasn’t been used, nor is it soul bound or account bound in any way, but I cannot trade or sell it. Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem?

This has been an issue of great concern for many players.

There are Pre-Patch skins, and Post-Patch skins.
Newly acquired (post-patch) Specialty Skins have been made tradeable on the BLTP.
However, the issue that has many rightfully upset is the fact that Specialty Skins that were acquired prior to the change in tradability (pre-patch) remain untradeable and account bound, despite the tool-tip no longer stating that they are.

So, if you acquired this skin prior to the change (pre-patch) then your skin is account bound still and will not be sellable despite the skin tool-tip not stating this fact. If you acquired the skin recently and after the restriction change (post-patch) then it will not be account bound and is sellable.

There have been many threads and discussions on this unfair issue, but it does not look like the tradeability restriction will ever be lifted from specialty skins acquired pre-patch.

:\

However, if you did recently acquire this skin, and it should be the sellable version, ensure that it is not stored inside of an Invisible Bag on your player. Being inside an Invisible Bag prevents the item from being displayed on the TP Sell tab and right-clicking the item will not offer the “Sell At Trading Post” option. Move the item to a non-invisible/restricted bag to be able to sell it. I hope this is the case and that you are not stuck with the skin due to it being the pre-patch version.

I sent a ticket to GW2 about it, and they responded

“Thanks very much for letting us know about the issue that you noted in Guild Wars 2. "

They also said that next time, i should just use the in-game report bug function (didn’t know that existed o.0)
