Guild Wars 2

I know the gear you get for Badges of Honor is not salvagable because it would destroy the market. But please ad a function to destroy this gear to get the runes out of it. Recently i started to craft a set of ascendet armor and have now a complete set of WvW-armor with divinity runes which are now useless for me (60Gold and more I could have gotten if I would have used other exotic gear over a year ago when noone could know that there will be a better armor then exotic in the feature).

This is probably most annoying problem in GW2.

its with karma armor too but yea my poor un-salvage superior sigil of bloodlust. do want

I have traveller runes stuck in it

sigh. so true.
the time I stuck the runes in I relied on being able to transmute them somewhere else.
please can we have a “transport” or “destroy” option?

Well yeah i forgot this. Pre-Patch it was possible. Please add a new funktion for this!

With the new transmutation system can we still merge two pieces of armor taking the stats from one and the runes from another? If not that is a pretty big hole ANet left.

I would also point out that being able to salvage WvW gear wouldn’t make a long term dent in the economy. It would have a short term effect as people cash out but eventually it would stabilize and have only a modest effect on prices.

No it is not possible anymore. That is the Problem.

The only current solution is a gem shop purchase of an upgrade extractor

that’s not really a solution since that would cost more than just buying new runes….

I didn’t say it was a good one.

They could just make it salvageable. I mean really it would make a dent in the economy at first with people dumping their stock of badges, but after that Badge farming is a lot harder than Dungeon Token farming, and the economy would balance itself out in less than a month.

Upgrade extractor from the gem shop :S

Badge farming isn’t really that hard with EotM out. The map is a giant karma/badge farm everytime I’ve gone there.

That said I’d love some option to get my runes out of my old badge gear, that doesn’t require the gem store.

They will not make it salvageable again it was exploited early on in the game. Extractor’s or buy new ones the only way.

Just let us have a way to get back runes that we put in, I couldn’t give half a crap about ectos or mats or your PvE bullkitten, you can keep all those.

Stop shafting WvW players in every possible way.

The best solution would be to make the armor salvageable but with special conditions for wvw/karma stuff:
They should limit the amount of ectoplasm globs to max. 1 or even 0
They should make the salvaged runes/sigills accountbound

There would be no profit, but you can rescue part of the stuff you already own.

No they shouldn’t. All game modes should be equal. You don’t make a lot of profit from WvW, not near as much as PvE anyway. Allowing us to farm Exotic Gear for Ectos and Insig/Inscrip would only be fair to the WvW population. Yeah the market will flop around a bit at first but once everyone dumps their stash of badges it’ll equal out, and you can bet that won’t take too long for PvE’rs to dump their badge stash for a quick buck.

This should be fixed. It was an unannounced change combined with sigil/rune changes that made “best in slot” for a play style NOT best in slot.

I should not be forced to either recraft a full set of ascended or overwrite 120g worth of runes/sigils.

And the gem store extractor @25 gold a pop is not even close to a “solution”.

I will not invest in another set of equipment again until this is addressed.

The easy solution is to cut the price of the extractor to say 2g per extraction and sell them in lots of 5, 10, 25, etc.

I’m also in a similar issue.

I have my raid set with Melandru runes and I want to put strength, but as I used karma set, I cannot salvage it and rescue the runes…

It wouldn’t be a problem if both runes had more reasonable prices, but losing about 40g just cause this new transmutation system…

They just need to lower the price of extractor so you can swap rune at lower cost than buying new ones,or maybe add unbreakable rune extractor 2000 gem

that silly extractor is way too overpriced…. if i’ve spent 60g on runes, now I need to spend 1300 gems which is far more than 60g to get my runes back…. that’s so stupid, I’m wondering if ANet is just trolling

The extractor is for gouging those who need to recover agony infusions from their gear. Trolling would mean they actually thought about WvW before coming up with the price.

I believe this. WvWers are an afterthought. Pushing out eotm and making season 2 is anet’s way of saying they have nothing to do with us in the foreseeable future, basically.

They should have kept part of the old transmutation system to move Runes/Sigils onto a white/blue item so It can be salvage. When clicking on the Transmution Crystal, a menu should pop up asking if you want a charge or to transmute.

I can see why they did this, they did want to rebalance the economy so its a gold sink to purchase another set of runes or buy the extractor with gold or give them money with gems.
