since we’re on the topic of fractals, can you change the exotics that drop from the reward to not be account bound?
No, save them until you get 4 and you can mystic forge them into a non-account bound exotic. Or use them on an alt.
edit: and to answer OP’s question
Game Director Colin: "We’ve got people working specifically on this issue, it has turned out to be much more complicated due to the way fractals are implemented than we hoped. We’ll have a fix for this soon as it’s tested enough we think it’s clearly solved and doesn’t cause any other issues.
We are at least a week and a half away on a fix for this, possibly longer depending on how long it takes to test it properly, we wouldn’t want to deploy anything that makes the issue worse!
Thanks for your patience, we wish this one was super easy! =)"
thank you for citing—hope they fix it soon.
