Serious question

I am not just trolling but would honestly like the opinion of others on this. I've never played a game that came out with an expansion that was not loaded with upgraded loot, and this one has none. If fact most is not as good as T2 or CN and the BOP makes doing the new dungeon a complete waste of time.

I think all of the new zones are visually stunning and the mob models and effects are unique and challenging. but why are there no worthy rewards. The dailies will keep me occupied for a few weeks but then what? No point in doing dungeons for sellable/tradeable loot. I did MC last night and the weapon drop was for a class not in our group, which until today wasn't even salvageable.

The direction the game is heading is not the rigt one. At least make it bound to the account

People are fickle, once the players leave they usually don't come back

I agree to you to everything you said, especially to the part "People are fickle, once the players leave they usually don't come back". Making an item bound as soon as it is picked up is really a turn off for doing a quest. What if the player has it already, or has a better one? Why would anyone bother doing a quest for items he can't really make use of in any way?

Its module1 not really an expansion. What game releases an expansion after 4 months? There was a LOT of players asking for BoP because people would just hit up the goldfarmer sites buy few million get their full T2(best in slot) and be done with the game that much quicker. Going BoP and making a Campaign system that requires days to progress is just a slow down tactic. They are biding time till they can finish polishing their new "ranged" class and 2nd paragons.

Well its not that true now in new patch items from MC are salvagable and aswell in MC drops new assets to make best weapons ingame so u can even farm those and sell. And bop items are good idea was pretty booring farming dd chests nonstop to make profit. Now u can do dungeon for fun not only profit. And aswell people will need farm gear not insta buy cheap. xD

Progression should have something to progress towards. LOOT should be one of those things.

some threads (ok maybe a lot) have described this issue about loots. but I think Cryptic did release the best gear via crafting. so basically the expansion came with better loots only that the mechanic how to obtain them is not generally favorable.
I personally don't think about it much since my main is still poorly geared, and I'm yet to experience all the content, but I understand why the loot thing is an issue, and do hope the higher-ups do something about it.

The problem with BOP is it caters to the casual players at the expense of the avid/hardcore players. It's the avid player that keeps the server population high and the events/dungeons/skirmish moving. Skill will always be better than gear so those who go buy gold will still suck with good gear. But if the avid daily player stops playing because there is no incentive then the servers will be empty and it won't matter.
They called this an expansion not me. I encourage all new content, I enjoy the special events/boxes/ summer festival sounds fun too but the perminant additions should have some incentive to be done
