BoP Squashed?

Guy in my guild said the BoP Changes got cancelled due to alts/companions? Is this true? Also is the salvage system still going to be added?

    Hope not. Was looking forward to the salvage system.

    It was squashed becaused it would have created new problems. So they are looking into other ideas.

    And as things currently are the salvage system isn't needed so I doubt they will turn it on.

    There was a massive outcry on the forums, so they cancelled their plans.

    Not only was the response to making such a large amount of items BoP was vastly negative but they brought up valid complaints about the system.

    The big reasons were:

    1) It would make gearing your character exponentially harder.

    2) It would make obtaining items for companions (not Belts/Rings/Necklaces but Sword Knots and Prayer Icons) much, much harder.

    3) It would generally wouldn't improve the appeal to do dungeons (which is already a decent complaint)

    I would like to see need rolls in group content an automatic BoP. This would help me gear my character up faster because i wouldnt be losing tanking items to cws and trs, and i think it would also slightly reduce the amount of items on the ah. The only problem i could see is ppl would probably still need roll in order to vendor because getting gold for kits and potions is still something jmportant.

    This is the system I am in favour of too. My suggestion was to make any NEEDed item not just BoP but also unsellable, or failing that worth 1 copper;)

    1. It would make Cryptic lose money since people wouldn't be able to buy top gear with credit card.

    however i embrace BoP on need items , and BoE on all others, so that way everybody will need only if they really need the item, and greed if they are looking to gain AD from it :D
    Everything works out in the end . If it hasn't worked out yet, it isn't the end...

    So why did they suggest changing the mechanic to BoP to begin with...? ;)

    because shortly after, there would be a patch to introduce unbinders in the zen shop

    They did it in the hopes that people would convert lots of Zen to buy up all the items in the AH that would still be BOE then at the last second pull the rug out from under them and lol

    If you don't know, with the latest changes in loot system, people already can only roll need on the items of their own class or multi-class items. So now you only can loose any specific tanking items if you have another GF in your group. And now there's a group of people who complain because they only want those highly valued items of the other classes.

    Leave the loot rolls alone. Fine as it is currently and good choice on Cryptics part NOT to move forward on BoP.

    EDIT* Just got a Mace in Barrow of the Drowned King that was BoP. That is ridiculous. It is a GREEN item, for one, and for two, it isn't even for my class. What gives?

    Better question is who suggested it and who shot it down.

    Quoted for the truth. There was a whole lot of ninja'ing and other stuff going around (and not even considering the exploits used to get loads of gear with minimal effort) so they may have announced these changes, however they also realised that no t1/t2/tx gear on the AH would mean people would have no need for AD and then they would have no need to buy Zen with hard currency to exchange for AD. And that is what counts with PW.
    Let the game be damned!
