What they need to do, and I think a lot of people are hinting this is make the new legendary weapons account bound! Unsaleable! Give the skins some prestige! I personally have a legendary that i actually made (no gem-gold converting), bought the precursor through a lot of grinding (I would say work but..) But what really is the difference between me and mr/mrs 12 year old (300 AP)with parents that have a large credit limit? Absolutely nothing… “Gotta hate that I got a legendary I feel so special! oh wait no i don’t…”
I’ll stop my rant there.. ha ha. Short version please don’t let us sell them. The end.
As long as it isn’t some ridiculous low chance rng drop, I would buy it.
Well to be honest I feel the same way you do Meglobob. But I’m trying to stay hopeful. Cause I would love to be proven wrong.
I agree there are lots of sigils for effects on swap and all sorts of heals that are really fun to mess around with. Its just sadly I feel that many of them are underwhelming.
But we can dream, that’s what forums are for!! =)
If you look up superior sigils/runes there is a huge amount of completely pointless ones. There is a lot of fun potential with some of these sigils but I feel like we can only stick to the select few because everything else is essentially junk.
-One for example is sigil of demon summoning. Why does it only summon a pathetic (though it looks cool) demon for only 1 minute after 25 kills… I mean i would love to have a sigil that summons a demon (similar to rune of ogre) that would be SWEET. But at this point it maybe summons one for 1 minute 1 time per map, if you’re lucky. Cant really be compared to getting +10 power or precision a kill now can it. Just wondering if anyone knows if anet is planning on balancing the horrid sigils/runes? Or what you sigil/runes you think should be changed and how?
They have costume slots and I use them but its always nice to mix and match. I figure this isn’t ever going to happen but one can dream. (or at least put the idea out there on the off chance it does happen) Also I personally am one of those willing to pay a crazy price for unlimited use items.
Tonics for example you can buy a stack at only 15 silver or the unlimited for 20g+. Even though it will never be worth it i still go for it. I enjoy never worrying about it running out or refilling.
Maybe I am just strange, but i like to think there are others with a similar mindset.
I still don’t understand why they don’t let us salvage ascended. (or why they refuse to even comment on it) I mean if it has a bad stat combo and just collects dust it would have been better to get an exotic drop. That in itself is kind of sad.
I realize they have a need to make money and that is a valid argument if they are in fact making a decent amount of their money on transmutation. But on the flip side I have simply stopped re-skinning my characters aside from the freebies like map completion/daily etc. Where if they made this an option, even if it was 2000 gems which would equal around 80 charges (which no normal person would use very quickly) . I just think its something they might want to think about because they could easily milk an extra 2k gems out of me.
So I was just wondering if there is any way we could get an (exotic) unlimited transmutation charge in the gem-store. I really enjoy changing my armor around frequently and really don’t like the feeling of constantly running out of charges. Granted normal transmutation charges don’t cost all that much but I found myself just giving up on going for new looks. Its not like I’m not willing to pay quite a chunk of gems for it either. It would just be a nice perk that i would be willing to buy, as I am no longer buying any more normal charges. Feel free to throw in any input or just a thumbs up if you agree. Thanks
Being that the vendor price is under 5 silver for the highest tier ring in game, I don’t really see that as a viable option. It’s kind of like telling someone to vendor any exotic drop they get simply because they don’t need that specific item. That isn’t going to sit well with them. But at least with an exotic you can sell on the bl or salvage for ecto.
So I was just thinking that it might be interesting to make a thread that compiles all the threads out there where people are wanting to salvage/sell (or at least to be able to do something) their extra fractal rings or ascended gear with bad stats. Make a comment, tell us how you feel or what you think the developers should do about it after over a year of waiting for something! Here are some links I found with around 5 minutes of looking….

Post More Links! More comments! Lets try to get them to acknowledge our existence as players! Or at least see how many people are out there thinking the same way!
Well for crafting ascended its a gold sink i completely agree. But what about the ones that drop? Doesn’t really take any gold to get those ones..
I don’t understand why ascended gear cant be sold or salvaged. It is the “best there is” yet it has no market value. Unlike legionaries which can be sold as well as stats change. Plus most the ascended gear that drops usually has horrible stat combinations (unable to salvage or sell it just sits in bank as filler). I guess i just don’t understand the reasoning behind this. If anyone has any ideas? It would be great to at least somewhat understand why… Thanks
I have read quite a few forums about people wanting to be able to either trade in/salvage or sell ascended gear they get as drops. This is primarily concerning fractal rings, but even a lot of ascended armor/weapons that drop from chests tend to have stat combinations that are essentially useless for most builds. There is a lot of player input into this topic but, I have yet to find any actual input from the developers. I was wondering if anyone has read or heard anything from the developers themselves?

Concerning the topic:
I honestly don’t care what they choose to do with ascended gear as long as it’s something. Whether they salvage for ecto/dark matter, let us give to friends, adjust vendor price to a gold or let us trade rings we don’t want in for fractal skins (1 skin for 20 rings or something like that). I just don’t see the point in having the “best” item in game be useless to simply rot away in a bank. When a rare is a lot more sought after then ascended once you have your 2 rings that shows that something needs to be changed.
-
Concerning people that don’t have a stockpile of rings and feel making them salvageable/sell-able is unfair get your fractal reward level to 30+ and you will have plenty.

Worries concerning the economy and ring drops being “very high”. Yes I agree ascended rings drop quite a lot from fractals, but in a fractal run (3 normal and 1 boss) I usually get 5+ rares and sometimes an exotic or 2. That being said i only get an ascended ring 1/3 times on average from the end reward chest. By this standard yes ascended rings drop quite a bit, but rares and exotics drop far more, so ascended should at least hold the value of a rare or exotic. The only way I see they might upset the market is if they suddenly decided to make them trade-able on the black lion.

I’m not looking for some vast fortune for the rings I have stored, I simply don’t want to vendor them for 5 silver. If anyone has any news from the developers or something in the patches i missed on this topic. I would love to hear it. I’ll welcome useful comments or suggestions also! Just please don’t argue for the sake of arguing. Thank you!
