Too Many Binding Types for refinement Items

darwinsradio

I have at least 3 stacks of refinement stones and various marks of whatever on my Main and all of my alts. At one point the Devs had said they were going to reduce the number of binding types so we could clean up our inventories.

I want to make a simple request. Allow me to take unbound items and make them bound to Account. In this way I can at least get rid of one of my stacks for each item.

I would even go so far as to say that everything that is currently bound to Character should be converted to being bound to Account as well. An example being an Icon I got from a lock box which is an Encorcelled Mulhorand item but it is bound to character to my GWF and I cannot Salvage or trade or consume the item into my Artifact weapon leaving me with the rather disappointing option of simply selling it for a paltry few silver.

Yes it takes too much space in bags

While they're at it, they could do something about Stronghold currencies and vouchers. These seem to be custom made for bag-filling.

I'd prefer to have them get rid of bound to character stuff. Bound to account seems sufficient for all refining stuff.

I think I added them up, and for all the Rp items, and taking the 3 statuses into account, the are over 140 separate items. Making them all BtA would help, but in reality, there are just to many of the things.

If I have a stone that grants 500 RP to anything, why do I need one that grants 5000 RP to anything? Just drop 10 of the 500 RP stones at once, and be done with it. Or better yet, make RP like Black Ice and store is a simple counter - DONE. Course, bag sales would reduce, so we probably can't have that.

That said, Enchants don't bind, so what I do to get around the character-bound thing is just put an enchant in the shared slot, and rotate it through all my alts. Time consuming, sure, but gets their bags clear of bound stuff. Unbound gets stacked into my guild bank for later. Not a perfect solution, but the BtA thing doesn't bother me that much I guess (then again, I have DH bags too).

This. Unfortunately that would lower the profit made on bag and bank space, so I'm not expecting any changes.
On the other hand, it would make the bots very unhappy, and I like that. The entire RP market has been dominated by bots for too long anyway. I'd rather have decent BtA drop rates and no RP market than giving the bots something to make a profit of.

I second this emotion. I'd be happy to have more BtA drops, and nothing left for the bots to farm.

And in regards to bag space, you'll still sell bags. It's an MMO, people will find SOMETHING to stuff in their bags, it's like some unwritten law that your bag space automatically sucks up whatever junk you find along the way...it's virtually impossible to avoid

EDIT: Even better, BtA all those RP and Enchantment drops, then remove the CD on Dragon's Hoard and Feytouch enchants. And make group kills count towards the drop rate.

The sad part is these days, besides enchantment/runestone, the stacks that do not grow are the unbound items.

Making all RP items bound would hurt the bots more than ANY other block they have put in, even the recent leadership changes. Most of the bots AD comes from selling RP I bet, and its all nicely refined for them so they are not bound by the 24k cap.

1 - Make all RP bound (new and current, with little to no warning)
2 - Put anything that needs a drop rate boost into dungeon chests.
3 - Watch the bots squirm.
4 - Profit.

PS Zerg, you meant Fey Blessing, not Feytouched *ducks a thrown shoe*

Awww, but I LIKE having cheap RP off the AH!
