Best gear in the game not BoP. No lock outs on dungeons.
In your own personal opinions what does this mean to you. I have my theory and I wanna know yours.

and if I have good luck with drops and get more than 1 of an item I can sell it on the ah.
That's exactly what will kill this game.. BOE for end game gear is the worst idea
For a gear based game... Its an RPG and gear means everything, if everyone and his aunt
Wear the end game gear then there is no prestige in wearing that... Think about it,
even the games longevity is affected by this...
The game is out for like 10 days and the server is full with ppl wearing top gear...

We r like 10 days in the game and most ppl have the top gear... That's just wrong..
BOP = Bind on pickup - An item is bound to you when you loot it
Well PW wants to make some money right? What more to think ? BoE means that the few hardcore players will get a crapload
of purples and then sell it to the AH , so many players gona need a chunk of AD to buy them... Guess who profits in the long term..
Isnt 1 zen= 400 AD? :P
Make all top end gear BOE, which means it can be bought with Astral Diamonds
Introduce a load of free players with limited Astral Diamond resources.
Offer a real-cash option to buy Astral Diamonds (Zen)
It's probably working as intended.
What a crock of garbage.....Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the HAMSTER out of the game but these companies greed is off the charts.
Oddly much of the junk jewlery from the dungeon delve chests in T2 i've looted were all automatically bound on acquire. Though the far more top stats valuable armor and weapons are not.

Well, it's a Beta and everyone knew that there was a lack of endgame content. So what's the point of rushing it?
I think that BoP only leads to the Kharazan Paradox: I need gear to do lategame dungeons - people want characters that already have that gear - I have to do the dungeon in the first place to get it.
Everyone that has played WoW for some time knows what I mean.

It is, it's a brilliant model imo because those f2p players can just as easily acquire some gear, sell it and get enough diamonds to get what they want.
Guy in my guild has acquired/spent over 15 million diamonds. He's pure F2P and didnt cheat to get a single one.
Don't get me wrong, the game is very pay to win in many ways I dont like. But the equipment acquisition, not really so bad imo. It hits all the marks really:
- lets players who want to grind it, grind it (though the non-delve grind option is insane imo, semi reasonable if you can hit the delv times)
- lets players who want to just play whatever dungeons, still advance in gear by getting what they can, and selling it for what they need
- lets players who want to pay to win, pay to win, funding cryptic, and the games economy.
Worst stuff is the self-rez scrolls on zen shop, and full heal stones. They break the game and are pure p2w.
Though partly thats due to the very buggy/broken anti-rez buff, that sometimes never applies, and sometimes applies forever never going away.
I mean yea i'd love this game to instead be a hardcore subscription mmo with zero pay to win options.. But such days are long dead, I dont know if such a game can even work anymore these days due to the huge difference in income and player attitudes these days.

"I suck at a game, so I need gear! But you shouldn't be able to be on par with me, or I'll lose! Zomg! make gear BoP!!!"
This is what I honestly think. A game based on skill, and how you build your character shouldn't be solely based on gear. If I'm losing to someone who could stand still, run around in a circle chasing a monkey, while I'm dodging all their attacks, blocking their attacks, predicting what they're next moves are. I should definitely lose to that person, in one hit, because his gear out-weighs my own.
We have a thinker here....
No, not it's not.
Pay to Win is the ability to get something you can't get without paying.
On here you pay to get stuff faster - which is the idea behind any f2p.
This game is all about gear.. its not street fighter.. Try to beat someone in
full purples while u wear a bunch of low lvl greenies... Sadly if u r looking for skill based games
u should go play a FPS or a MOBA ..
U know actually the game requires from u to have gear in order to progress
in its dungeon system. Also press C and see the characters stats, even there there is a gearscore number
which im sure it exists for a reason.
This game is all about gear .... for you. I know it's hard for some people to believe, but some people actually enjoy the process and journey and aren't so obsessed about having the best gear or how this gear is obtained.
As far as your other barely coherent babble, no one said that gear wasn't important. Gear is certainly an important part of character progression. It's just not all about gear, as you try to argue, because many people don't care about gear as much as you do.
There is no one true accepted definition of P2W.
One of the definitions in use is the ability to buy power not otherwise accessible, another is the ability to simply buy power faster, that could be gained in other ways.
This game fits one of those definitions, there may be others.
What are you debating here? Are you saying you don't need gear to do certain things?
