Lasts 15 minutes. All other boosters at LEAST 30. Thanks! We sure do love our Second-Class status!
New WXP booster is a(nother) slap in the face

The free one is 15 minutes. The purchased version is 1 hour, just like all the rest. This is a way of getting people who are logging in during the free trial to check out WvW.

That’s fair enough.
Are the payed versions supposed to be soulbound rather than account bound? The other boosters are account bound. I purchased 15 WXP boosters as soon as they were available. My intention was for it to help me level my guild class (Hammer warrior). But they were immediately soulbound to my thief who I happened to be logged on to at the time.
The paid versions are indeed supposed to be account bound and we are rectifying that in the build on 9/3.

Out of curiosity, can you get the WxP boosters from BL chests/rankup chests?
Also if Devon wants to have a poke at talking about something that’s coming down the line but fair enough if you can’t say; we know that at some point Magic Find is going to be removed and turned into some kind of permanent account unlock consumable… Thing. Is this going to just be Magic Find, or are you going to be able to increase XP/Karma/etc? If yes, WXP too?
The 15 minutes WxP booster drops in each rank up chest from ranks 2-5. That is why it is intended to be soulbound. It does mean that each new character in WvW will earn an hour of WxP boost by the time they reach rank 6. We don’t currently have any plans to move WXP boosts to an account level of that sort. We have been discussing further improvements to the system that would help with alts, but those are only at the discussion phase.
