So long as Legendary Weapons are limited to Account Bound and kept OUT of the wardrobe, this is a perfect change. Those with 2 Incinerators etc can enjoy them both, those with 1 can enjoy their single one.
My concern is that the clamouring from the community of single Legendary users will be very large indeed as the ‘something-for-nothing’ culture in this game is ridiculous.
What would be really nice is to see the number of legendaries each person who posts in this thread owns as a number below their post…
On page 5 people are still arguing that “stat swapping” more than makes up for the 2000+G loss we will incur.
To clarify, I don’t have a problem with people proposing suggestions, but if you don’t own 2 duplicate legendaries, you don’t really have a valid opinion as to how far up the creek we are right now.
I think anet should let real legendary weapons also have selectable sigils and infusion types, in addition to the existing swappable stats. This will atleast mean that when the player with the legendary weapons need to change build he does not need to recraft or repurchase certain items.
Selectable sigils is something I have always argued for with Legendary weapons so I do agree, but even that is a drop in the ocean compared to the potential loss we will incur. I really like the wardrobe changes (not least because I have a monocle and 250+ transmutation stones), and I completely understand how excited other people are about having Legendarys on ALL their characters, but for me, my Dual Incinerators were earned with hard work and grind. They are special, and while it is great that a lot of people are getting what they want, some of us will suffer for it.
The problem is, that is not ENOUGH convenience. No change that can be proposed does enough to alleviate the stupid amount of gold that will be going to waste, not stat swapping, not sigil swapping, nothing…
I live in hope that an acceptable compromise is reached with this, but considering Arenanet’s behaviour towards me personally in previous support efforts, I am seriously worried.

As someone who actually will encounter this problem (2 Incinerators, 1 Sunrise), I am disappointed with the change.
I would never have gone for a second Incinerator if I knew this would have been coming, as it is, I am 1500-2000G down and all I get for the benefit of my 2nd Incinerator is a stat change.
The important thing to mention about the stat change is that it is pretty pointless. Most people who speak in positive tones about this particular feature doubtless don’t own a legendary or they would quickly find out how little a feature it is used. Since my first incinerator, I have never changed the stats on it once outside of lvl 49 Dredge Fractal. The same holds true for my second. Sure it is nice to change stats, but the point is that statistically and in casual game terms, it really doesn’t matter.
I think the wardrobe and dye changes are very positive, but as a dual Incinerator user, I will be severely disappointed if the wardrobe allows people with 1 to spread it around their account.
My proposed solution would be to allow people to transmute the number of legendaries they have that exact number of times. So if you have 2 Incins you can have 2 on ANY class, or 1 on 2 but if you have 1 Incin or Sunrise or anything else, you can only have 1 of them on ANY class.
