Guild Wars 2

Yea its very counterintuitive.
I wasted 6 triumphant armor boxes this way, because I openend heavy armor for my guard on my ranger. Thanks anet!

Opening armor chests and choosing stats on armor makes items soulbound.

This is a bug, no matter what you say.
If it is working as intended, it is a buggy intent.

Drawing an armor piece onto your character has to make it soulbound!
ONLY this way it binds to a soul, kitten it!
