Performed with two rare swords: Shaman’s Norn Blade and Rampager’s Iron Sword.
And a masterwork shield: Iron Shield.
Steps taken:
Enter the Heart of the Mists lobby and open the PvP build tab. Enter the equipment screen and equip a non soul-bound weapon (Masterwork quality and above, as rare gear does not soulbind).
Expected result:
The game prompts the player with a warning about soulbinding equipment.
Actual result:
The gear piece is soulbound and equipped without any warning to the player, this is especially worrisome as the PvP gear equip screen does not display any information about the soulbound status of the gear, possibly leading players to soulbind gear that was not intended for soulbinding.
