Dumb me wasted 168k Karma on soulbound armor

#1 - March 7, 2013, 2:40 p.m.

So after buying some karma trinkets (soulbound on use) for my new alt (who isn’t even lvl80 YET), i decided to get some armor pieces as well. What i didn’t notice though, was that these are soulbound on aquire.
(why would they be different to trinkets in that regard anyways?)

I was just excited about my alt and started preparing her lv80 gear already… instead of saving those jugs of karma for her and just used them on my main to buy the gear.

So i’m now sitting on 4 soulbound armorpieces and can’t use them. (light armor on engineer) Absolutely ruined my day.
Anything we can do about it ANet?

We cannot move items, nor are we able to refund karma or laurels. Account restorations are performed only for hacked accounts, so the information you’ve received in this thread is accurate.

The item does explain that it is Soulbound on the description, and I’m sorry that you missed that. I don’t anticipate that changes will be made to the purchase system, but that is perhaps a possibility in the future.
