With the introduction of ascended armor and weapons and even trinkets way back when, WvW badge gear is pointless to have. Back when GW2 was released and there was no upward gear progression having an alternate set of “WvW gear” with a different set of runes was fine. Now with ascended gear being the BiS having a alt set of exotic wvw gear makes you under powered.
With this being the case, all those sigils and runes in exotic wvw gear are wasted simply because we cannot salvage them. Fix this please. I know how long this has been an issue but fix this problem. I dont have 30-60 gold to simply replace 1 set of runes on 1 set of armor on 1 character when I have 8 characters to gear up each with this problem.
