Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,
Tonight something terrible happened to me! I was trying to put to a good use all those badges of honor we have been receiving… I decided I wanted to buy a new armor set for my warrior (my main char) and took all my badges with my necro (a low lvl char that I was just “visiting”) to Eternal. After contemplating the skins, I decided to go for the invader armor for the warrior, as he was needing a facelift. I bought all the armor set, placed the armor set in the bank and, happily changed to my main alt to get his new armor on!
I was first surprised I couldn’t pick up the armor and then… Shocked! Shocked that the armor is soulbound to my necro! This is horrible and silly… I should have seen that the armor would be soulbound… but probably this should be more obvious! On top of all, what is the point of soulbinding and not only account binding? Soulbinding an heavy armor to a light armor wearer?
Anyway… Is there any way to revert this? That would be super! Otherwise, this has been the worst transaction in my GW2 history!
Please help….

Supposedly you can use transmutation stones to fix this.

Badges are easy to get. Just play more, and purchase the correct gear next time. Please be more careful in the future.

Anet normally doesn’t step in to assist players when they make errors like this. Only on certain circumstances will there be a refund or item switch, but that’s usually when it’s their fault (i.e. no confirmation button).
