I don'thave the ability to look now, but can someone confirm if they are btc or bta?
I don't really care if they bind, but if they btc, it would have been nice to know in advance so I could take empty bags off characters I don't play. I could have at least put them on a character that I can actually use them on.

The big thing I'm concerned about (aside from the change) is that previously, if you get a bag on a character that doesn't have all slots filled, it automatically is equipped on that character. I highly doubt that this behavior has changed.
Which means - don't buy a bag on an alt with AD thinking you can send it to your main, unless your alt already has all bag slots filled. Or pay Zen for a bag except on the toon you want to have it.
1. there is a new 36 slot bag in Zen market.
2. One should not buy the greater bag in AH because it is more expensive than buying from Zen market.
Great big "go take a flying leap" Cryptic. You dont deserve my cash right now and no matter how you try to squeeze it from my wallet, you wont get it. Do something I can support, like more dungeons or PVP maps and we can revisit my wallet.
Blog about the bags.
3. Note: If these bags are already equipped, they will not become bound until they are equipped again.
They must have realized sales of Runic Bag of Holding would be less if they bound all the existing equipped bags.
Or you could just wait until there is real info before ranting like a moron.
Anyway, thanks blackjackwidow.
If they bind to account? Sure.
Ditto. The only reason I bought them before was because I can use them while leveling up and then move them to my next character. Once I hit max level, I have little need for them.
Shhh! You may see that in Zen store. Are you giving them another money making idea? ;-)
Unless something changes, I'm pretty much done spending money on Zen.
Ranting is the response of choice on these forums, unfortunately. At least there are some more reasonable people posting to offset the rants . . .

Exactly my thoughts!
I highly doubt it...
My initial impression is those who are saying this is just another, Cryptic "greed" scheme seems to be right on the money (pun intended).
I mean what possible practical purpose does this move make except to force players to purchase more duplicate equipment that they probably can very well do without?
Speaking only for myself, I can say it will take much longer to complete quests and map areas because when my inventory is full, I will not be buying a bound to character bag to make game play more convenient. I will instead stop playing and redistribute, post for sale on the Auction House or just sell items to empty my inventory before continuing.
Buying a bag or even an upgraded is clearly optional; it is something people wish to do not something they have to do to play and if bags are now bound to character for me that just removes the incentive to purchase them.
My two cents ~
As a person with max bags/bank slots I would of definitely bought 2 bags today to replace my last 2 24 slot's on my main and moved the other bags elsewhere, but not now.
Looks like Akro left at the right time.
I think I'm done spending money here as well... A shame really, I quite like this game.
I think this is a real bad idea as it deters purchase of bags in the future. I want to buy the new runic bags so I can upgrade from my existing greater bags on my main, but will only do this because I can pass the old ones to other toons. As far as I can tell I can still do this for now since its already equipped before the update. But I cannot do this with any toon I equip the bags on from now on. I'm not paying 16 dollars to equip a new bag just so I can throw the old one out.
If you're gonna make it bound, make it bta.
.I know what it was...they saw that they release paladin and then they had a bag sale thinking they will need new bags for their pallys...which must not have been that great...and they looked into why...and oh well lets just do this so they can't do that anymore...

But if they auto equip like they use to, then might as well be boc on purchase until you have all 5 slots filled.
I have purchased all the large bundles for this game and if it were playable to me I would have continued to purchase all new content, DLC in the future. But seeing as I can actually play Star Trek Online among other games and not have to worry about inventory as much I'll just stay there.
I have 16 level 60's, 1 almost 60 and 7 empty character slots I was going to use for new races and classes.
You should have made all bags bound to account at the very least. I hope your new income strategy works for you but it doesn't work for me. I have almost all very rare mounts, companions and so on. I just bought the Clothing for XP bonus. But this Bag Binding on equipt change just put a nail in NWOs' coffin.
You should have focused on content players want like a guild hall, playable combat air ships like in STO and such rather than creating unnecassary burdens to force honest gamers to spend money just to play on their free time.
(Edit) Bound to account is bad but Bound to Character is unacceptable. Period.
Good luck with that Cryptic.

The blog post says something about bags and this change was made to "protect them from any pesky goblins, dragons or thieves".
What are they talking about?
I'm trying to understand what the player benefit is to this change. Are there tailors/bag makers in this game that will now be better off? Is there some aspect of this change that benefits someone?
I assume they are talking about gold / AD spammers
i LOVE your signature man. thanks for making me laugh.
