obie.6017 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thoughts? I mean if we're going to have Gen 1 and Gen 3 and the variations available on the trading post, why make Gen 2 different? 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genjonah.1253 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Because the Gen2 model is the best, and going back to the TP availability is a regression obviously I am not ANet, so I have no real say in whether this goes in or not, but I will still be vocal about it- legendaries should be account bound. The first few in Gen2 had the perfect balance of account bound accomplishment requirement to gold sink ratio, and having those four (I think it was four? HOPE, Astralaria, Nevermore, and Chuka and Champawat, right?) is the real prestige items. Not an rng winner, but someone who completed all the maps of the expansion, a lore based quest, and a large gold sink showed dedication. so yeah- again, I realize I don’t really have the say here, but hard no for me 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie.6017 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think given their direction, is why I was kind of like ...meh...if you're going to put Gen 3 on there, why not all of them? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Or maybe instead of that, make gen 3 account bound on acquire? 😁 Edited December 22, 2021 by Sobx.1758 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Gen1 should have never been tradeable and the decision to make gen3 tradeable is a mistake(imho). So no. Let's not do that. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point. Consistency would be nice, but I’d like them to at least work more on adding more rewards that are not directly connected to gold and therefore to credit cards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency? All other legendary items besides gen1 are account bound (meaning the inconsistency started way way back). Consistency would have been to make gen 3 account bound. What you are in fact asking for as you put it:"right of previous wrongs". You are literally asking for the developers to go all the way back to pre all legendary items post gen1 (all armor, rings, backpacks, gen 2 weapons, accessories, amulets, runes and sigils) , then to revert the decision to make all of them account bound, to end up with trade able gen 2 weapons. You aren't asking for consistency, you are asking for inconsistency and/or the "righting of previous wrongs" before the majority of legendary gear was introduced to the game, quite literally.

obie.6017 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Honestly, they've already said they're making them sell-able, so I'm saying make it all consistent. Or turn it the other way, but I think that ship has sailed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If gen 2 fixed what was wrong with gen 1 then making gen 3 like gen 1 is not good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugrakarma.9416 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The only reason they make gen2 account bound was the cry-river of "die hards" saying that credit card heroes can acquire these weapons. Its 2022, who really cares about "prestige item"? i don't, and i crafted some gen2 legends. make them all tradeable. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambent.6375 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Making some legendary weapons tradable helps the in game economy imo. When they are account bound, once the person crafts it, that's it, the demand for the materials for that legendary is lower than it was before. If the person is able to craft more, and sale them, then there will be a continued demand for those materials(good for some players), and some people will be buying gems to convert to gold(good for anet) in order to buy the legendary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera.9435 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 They can't because gen 2 precursors never drop and they're not about to add them to the loot tables. That's really it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
