Duplicate account-bound unlock from Black Lion Chest

[Rasimir.6239]

I rarely open black lion chests, but the addition of the plush raptor skin made me try my luck. I did get a rare item from one of the chests, but to my disappointment it turned out to be a novelty which I had already unlocked (an endless mystery tonic). I was disappointed but put it in my bank to give it to a friend. Only then did I find out that it was actually account bound on aquire. I didn't expect this since I thought that at one point it was said that duplicate account-bound unlocks from the chest would be replaced by a new key.

 

I have a hard time believing that bloating the rare category of the chest with unique unlocks that have absolutely no use when you get duplicates is intended 😞 .

Replaced duplicates only applies to Wardrobe Unlocks.

Should not a tonic that is account bound aquire and unlocked already be counted as well?

If it is a Wardrobe Unlock.  🤷‍♂️

Looks like they screwed up the BLC drop table. It should be dropping the Unopened version of the tonics which is tradeable.
