So I just spent all my badges of honor and a bunch of gold on greatswords to get a chance at a precursor…..And to my supprise I can’t even use them in the mystic forge, If this isn’t a bug I want to know A.) Why? B.) Why is there nothing in game to let you know of this. and C.) Why can’t I get a refund….. cause this is just stupid and is kitten ing me off, I could have geared an alt with all those badges.
That thread has also be locked. Not sure what that means for the status and future of the issue. Another player in that thread stated, “Developers in yesterdays stream said its not a bug.” So the situation may be considered to stay as is and as intended if that is true.

I suspect that the reason the thread was closed was that multiple people where acting against the forum rules (don’t bump). Bumping threads is not allowed. Devs read everything, if the same few people keep posting in a bug report this gives false info on the impact. That is why bumping isn’t allowed and why the thread was closed.
To be fair, ‘we are investigating this’ doesn’t mean this is intended or not. Shouldn’t take over a month to confirm whether or not this is intended or a bug.
I can understand not mentioning any time frame on a fix if this is a bug. But a confirmation?
I just bought 4 Invader Greatswords to toss in to the forge (Did not know that this was an issue). They are still not forgeable nor salvageable. I cant even sell them to a vendor!
What annoys me most, is that it doesn’t say anywhere in the tooltip, that it cant be salvaged, MFed or vendored!!
I would like to have some clarification on the matter, is it a bug or not. will it be fixed, can we get a refund on the gold and badges spent on these weapons if it is decided not to be fixed or should we just shove them up our asses??
In my opinion, a refund would only be fair (because it did not say enywhere that they cant be used in a manner i intented, to use them) had i known this, i would not have bought them!
I remember clearly being able to MF these and salvage these weapons in the past.
The current cost is around the same as other exotics/etc in the open world. Players would not currently make any profit from salvaging these items or placing into the MF.
If these items cannot be salvaged or used in the MF they should come with a warning on purchase – stating this. It is unfair to players who are not aware of this that they cannot salvage or use in the MF. This would also settle the issue moving forward if this is to be the status quo. At minimum these items could be made account bound on purchase (not soul bound?) for people who may have bought the wrong weapon on a character.
The daily quest which is spend 50 or 250 WvW tokens – players would be better off buying siege blueprints with and reselling on the trading post. This is the only way to economically get some cash back from this requirement. I’m pretty certain players have bought weapons hoping they could have a chance of salvage or MF combined with the daily requirement to spend WvW tokens.
Without a better warning that these weapons cannot be salvaged or forged – people will continue to make this mistake and more complaints will arise over time. Hopefully this could make it into a build quickly (a better warning) until the issue is fixed or decided what it should be moving forward.
At least one or two minor changes can help stem the problem whist it is looked into further.
