Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

When you mouseover a Zenith Weapon Skin in your Achievement Rewards Chest, it says Soulbound on Acquire (which turns out to be the case).
But if you right-click a weapon and then PREVIEW it, hovering your mouse over the weapon icon in the preview pane reports it as Account Bound.
Please fix this A.S.A.P. to avoid confusion.
What is wrong with Account Bound (so you can’t sell it or trade it) and then Soulbound on USE? So many people are not looking carefully enough and realizing that the character who accepts the reward chest will also be Soulbinding the skin.

Okay, good to know. We are actually UNLOCKING the skin for our account, and can then take as many as we want just like the Hall of Monuments. That could be made clearer in-game somewhere. I’m seeing a lot of frustrated people here. We see “Soulbound” and get scared.
I bet in two days a lot of people will try to unlock a second identical weapon to the one they already have. (Such as dual-axe wielders). I hope you have a message in place that will tell them “You have already unlocked that skin for your account”.
