    Will unbound companions, mounts and artifacts still be part of loot table?

    This change is an absolute cash grab. They are greatly reducing our ability to earn AD by removing the items we can sell from running queues. There is no reason for this change other than for them to sell more Zen! Additionally this change is going to have a large effect on the economy because the only “unbound” mounts and companions available for sale will be the ones that people currently have. That means the prices for those will go through the roof. Please reconsider this change

    Wow so the past year I've played this game, I thought the crappy loot roles were normal, and that I had horrible RNG, still think I have horrible RNG but that's another matter.... I can't tell you how much AD and rerolls I have spent/wasted trying to get decent loot to drop, 90% of what would drop (even after rerolls) for me was low level gear and companions. I could never get up to where end game players were without spending MONEY. So now we find that you all are changing and perhaps leveling out the playing field. That's nice. What isn't nice is all the money that I had to spend to get to where I am at, knowing now that others were much luckier and could get AD/zen because they had much better drop rates....Way to go Cryptic. I know I'm not the only player that has these similar issues. We are not rewarded (or have a rewarding experience) for spending money and supporting your game. Feeling frustrated and more like I've had the rug pulled out from under me. Not a great way to keep a player base.

    @tipsylu#5922 it isn't levelling the playing field. at least if you did spend money you could buy other peoples drops. now you can't. 90% of what dropped is not good for everyone. it's that ten percent that helped. all they're doing with this is nerfing everyone and making what did drop and is still unbound extraordinarily rare and probably very very expensive. this isn't good for anyone. the hoarded things people have will run out and it will be a less varied landscape for everyone. they need to reverse this.

    I think if they add all comps/mounts/artifacts in tarmalune shop, they'll tell you to buy them with tarmalune you get from boxes/chests if you need a specific one.

    I really don't normally say this, but I honestly think some sort of "refund" on our reroll tokens and keys might be in order for the lack of clarity and communication. That being said, I'm going to try and read between the lines a little here, I'm *hoping* that what you're saying is that the outdated loot that we used to see in runs, such as the aforementioned girdle of strength and decanter of atropal essence, will be replaced by the super awesome new loot table with the dev's list of items (bound to account, similar to a Juma bag, with the added bonus of an unbound leg mount) and that things we are currently used to seeing will be left alone. I'm *also hoping* that means we will still get unbound items, INCLUDING MOUNTS AND COMPANIONS, as part of the loot table, because to do otherwise would be pretty silly ...
    If you're saying I can basically get a Juma bag in place of the worthless junk, in addition to everything I'm used to seeing, then I'm all for it, it's a great idea.
    If you're saying there is no chance of pulling anything other than bound items, then maybe you need to rethink these changes?
    And please promise me that I won't wake up one morning to find everything in my bags bound to account or character. That would be an absolute game-killer for me.

    Cryptic again stealing from players first you deactivated the no fees for vip draining people’s ad without informing anyone. Then you deactivate the the dungeon loot so people waste their re roll tokens all week with again no information in game. Anyone would think Thomas foss was running the show again 😂

    Except the fee issue was a bug and not intentionally done, and has been fixed.

    Pray tell, what happened to the AD that was erronously lost when taking down auctions?

    You shouldn't have lost AD if you let the auction run its course, or if the item was sold. You only lose the fee if you take it down early. That's how posting fees have always worked. And knowing we had posting fees, because it said it right there on the left side of the screen, and because everyone was about it, logically a person would only put up an item for a one day sale, or make the price low enough to make sure it sells. It was an unfortunate bug, but I would have been waaaaay more pissed if they had broken, say, immunity to injuries lol. The posting fee was easy enough to work around.

    @sh00th3r3#1554 you don't get it back if you let it run and it doesn't sell. you only get it back if it sells

    Good Lord can you tell it's been years since I've had to worry about posting fees? 🤣 As soon as I heard there was a problem, I stopped posting things, only posted what I really wanted to sell, and put it at a reasonable price point, so most everything I posted sold. I didn't take anything down either. But I lost maybe 500k if that was the case? Eh, ok, I can see why people were pissed. But I certainly wouldn't have taken items down early just to undercut someone. Could have sworn the fee was refunded when it sold or if the auction expired, my bad

    I kept selling because prices were higher but over all I definitely came down under on the profit margin for things that did not sell. and before I really noticed it I'd posted some leg mounts that did not sell. I did not sell high ticket items. just things in the under a mil range

    @darthpotater Chris was talking about his beloved superstore idea in the cdp. imo it's a deathknell for diversity and fun in this game. if you take the wonder out of the game and replace it with instant gratification there is literally no reason to play anymore.

    they'll do it and say well we are going off the cpd when really it's what chris suggested in the cdp not what the majority of the community wanted in the cdp lol. out of touch devs is out of touch.

    honestly I'd be thrilled with these changes and excited about it if the unbound items that dropped before this change happened continued to drop. binding everything is a complete nerf. I don't care about all the other doo dads if it's all bound. I might as well just do bhes in vallenhas all the time instead of doing anything else.

    Im aware about what Chris said, and it can be a good idea to have a superstore instead of 1000 stores from campaigns etc. But thats different than make AD complete useless. I think also is a good idea to have tradebars in chests (we will see how much they drop)

    My concern is that with the last movements, I feel that the AD will be less and less important, and the AH will be less used with very few items unbound, and the zen item prizes will skyrocket soon in AH, the ZAX is also growing much faster because the reasons we all know but this changes make only push in that direction.

    Soon ZAX will be 4-5 months to get zen and people will struggle to get vip, not talking about the nice items they will put there (wait and see for a BIS mount or companion soon)

    There is a Zen store rework coming in the future, so I think we will see the real direction of the game economy when that arrives.

    It could be great to talk with someone at Cryptic about what are their long term plans about the game economy. But that wont happen.

    Ok you messed up on the chests. I get it.

    But can we see the evidence that as part of the community scheme that ANYONE actually wanted EVERYTHING bound to account in the new loot tables apart from the Legendary Mount? And that no-one wanted epic drops in them either??;!??
