yeah well i guess the thread title is the whole question but let me explain:
 
my main is a stalker which hordes the most money out of my chars... now i wanted to equip my twink engi who got a heavy gun crafted from one of my guildies.
 
i ran to the rune crafting station, spent currency on rerolling stuff and crafted runes just to realize my stalker cant equip the runes. Now i wanted to transfer it to my engi which wasn't possible anymore bc the heavy gun was souldbound to the stalker. Support sais "your fault - not my problem" by the way... well... not like this but essentially they were telling me this. But i could make a suggestion on the forums... well and this brings me to this thread:wouldn't it be a wise move to forbid rerolling runes on items your char can't wear?
 
I mean: why allow me to reroll stuff on items that can't be worn by a character who then can't put runes in because he can't wear it? and even soulbind the item afterwards? despite the fact it can't be worn. that makes no sense.
 
i understand that you dont want someone rerolling perfect runes and give it away then... well... tbh that sounds a little bit weird too... whatever.but basically i can somewhat equip every item when i want to reroll runes and just for this purpose and essentially destroy the item with this. Don't think my stalker will learn pew pew in the nearest future.
 
at least a warning message would be appropiate OR make the item not... uhm... rollable(?) in first place
 
what do you guys think?

I did the same thing, kind of...
 
I crafted a really nice weapon for a guildie and rerolled a rune slot for her, then tried to mail it. D'oh! It sucked but I learned my lesson  <_<

yeah but this doesn't make sense!"oh let me equip this pair of shoulders! i can fix stuff better when i wear em... done... now i put em on the table so i can colour them... wait... how do i color this strange thing i never have seen before? and... well... how to i equip it again? meh... i give it to someone else. FK! they refuse to leave me!"

I think you can edit runes without equipping the item, just have to ctrl+right click on it. 
 
Maybe rerolling the first rune slot should give you a warning similar to when you equipe a BoE item or when you would lose the refund, "Reroll a slot makes it soulboand, want to proceed?"	
----
			I don't really see why rerolling/adding rune slots makes an item soulbound to begin with.  If I craft a set of shoulders with my Outfitter, why not let me customize the rune slots so I can sell it for more?  I made the mistake of trying this yesterday.

and even worse: i'm writing with the support right now. they can't unbind soulbound items apparently...
destroyed items can be destroyed though... would be worth trying...but meh. i think at least the warning message should find its way into the game

			Throwing in a popup window whenever you tried to rune an item you're not wearing, telling you it'll soulbind it might be a nice addition to the game.  Interface design isn't exactly this studio's strong suit.

There was a time when people screwed up they sighed, shook their head at their own foolishness, acknowledged they did something wrong and learned from it.
 
Now when someone screws up it's either the games fault or it's the devs fault or it's supports fault.
 
Common sense works just as well as a pop up. In the vast majority of MMO's, performing an action on a piece of gear makes it soulbound. Common sense would say that sending all the stuff you want on your alt, to your alt, before doing anything else would be a good idea.
 
I know I sound like a douche but I see it a hell of a lot on these forums. Someone does something wrong, doesn't get the answer they want from support and then comes to the forums to rage about it. Not once do they say "I screwed up". It's always the fault of the game because it doesn't have a pop up or something similar. 
 
Funiest one I saw involved character deletion. I can't remember which game it was but it was a couple of years ago. Someone was annoyed because they had deleted their character and the game didn't have an "are you sure" pop up. Problem there was, the character delete button was nowhere near the log in/out button. Anyway, the devs put in a pop up.
 
2 days later someone else comes to the forums to complain that the devs did it wrong. All the pop up did was ask yes or no if they wanted to delete their character and he wasn't paying attention and "accidentally" clicked yes. 
 
The devs did as they were asked even though it was a minor issue only affecting a small portion of folk that struggle to pay attention. Even after doing as they were asked they were still in the wrong for not doing it right. Not once did either of those 2 admit they screwed up, it was all on the devs.
 
Just once i'd like to see "he, look, my bad devs. I screwed up but this would be a nice feature".

			I like to need on gears I can't use so I can salvage or sell them.

			IMO runing and rerolling slots should NOT soulbind an item. That's what they should change. :/
