From NeverwinterPreviewShard patch notes:
Many of the Epic quality items in dungeons, seal vendors, and PvP stores have been updated to become Bind on Pickup instead of Bind on Equip. (Unbound items currently held by players will remain Bind on Equip.)
Predicted results:
-less people running dungeons because gear can't be sold on AH.
-increased queue times as a result.
-astral diamonds becoming worthless as you can no longer save up to buy the gear you want.
-current gear on AH will skyrocket in value as they will remain BoE.
-new level 60s will get destroyed in PvP against fully geared opponents.
-Game dies a horrible agonising death?

This is how gear should have worked from the start. Being able to buy nearly ALL your end game gear was pathetic.
Complete idiots running around with a GS 9200+ and not having a single clue how to play their class.
players will ONLY play dungeons on DD more and more
People already do this. The only people this will affect is new players. Everyone who has been playing has already farmed the gear they want and have just been selling the rest of the gear they have gotten to all the bads who just go to the AH and buy all their gear rather then earn it.
Name: A Long Way Away from Home
Type: Storyline / Average Combat.
Time: 10-15 Minutes, depending on whether you like to read or not.
This is good for people with lots of alts, because now they can enjoy doing the same things over and over with all characters that need gear.
This is a very good way to extend content without it having a negative impact on a good game that is good.
Everyone who can think of why this could be bad should just learn2play.
There is no reason to ever uninstall this game cause it does not take up much space. When I look at my computer where my Neverwinter files are, it looks like I do not even have it installed, because that is how much space this good game takes up on my computer.
Neverwinter 100 years strong! Cryptic WOOO!
Edit : just edit for the lol, since epic items are really BOP now, 3 months after this thread. Doomsayers win after all, too bad all had left and no one is here to gloat.
I don't normally post but to the guy about never winter taking no space? What where you on when you typed this? And my question has nothing to do with it taking any space. But I am not sure you backed up your argument enough by just saying "When I look at where my files are it looks like i do not even have it installed?"
Clearly you see the files so it looks like it is installed??
I am not trying to flame but really people??? Just take a step back before blurting randomness lol
-Add purple world drops that can be traded and sold on the AH.
-Raise Level cap to 65
-Add dragonkin, diva, and genesi as playable races
-Buy a new forklift to move all the cash people throw at them

yea, new player will go all grind ... thats not really a good sign
at least they need to remove or change the DD current terms.
However, I don't think it will be as drastic as people think it will be. This is probably a change to stop things like the Castle Never exploiting, so you don't have people farming end-game weapon sets and plastering them all over the AH. I'm sure there will still be plenty of epics and tier sets available for sale/purchase come patch time.
You sound the type of person who has too much time on their hands. People like to have fun.
They dont want to grind grind grind and live with RNG.
BOP will just drive most people away.
Most time i see people say LRN2 play they usually cant.
I'm all for this if it is true. But I'll wait and see just how much is made BOP.
They are the reason we can't have nice things. Oh well, we will live.
Break out the wallet and buy Zen. <chuckles>
Just sell enchantments instead. With less AD going to gear, prices will rise, and T2 enchantments are still a valuable commodity that will probably not be BoP (that would be pretty stupid and potentiall harm Zen sales).
This change doesn't change a lot for fresh 60s - unless big spenders, they cannot afford T2 gear anyway, and T1 dungeons are easy enough to conquer.
EDIT: I am not going to play this game again until it more closely resembles an excel spreadsheet. NWO is the worst game ever now.
People geared out will have exactly zero reason to run dungeons either. It's a lose-lose situation for everyone.
-MORE people will run dungeons because they can't sell zen for ad and get best gear
-LESS que times because more people will be going to tru to get items
-ADs value going UP, leading to price drops on the AH
-Current gear might skyrocket, but since there will be no way of making huge AD in short time, no one will buy it.
-New level 60, just as now will be decked in pvp items in 2 evenings and nothing will change, because they couldn't afford AH sets/weapons anyway
-Game becomes just as any MMO when it comes to dungeons and items and lives long without masses of exploiting, greedy a-holes.
The changes come into live, we'd better have a good way to reliably get RADs, or AH items will be keep going down and down because people won't be able to afford them.
The assumption people are making is that there won't ever be another dungeon after the current equipment level. Oh how sadly mistaken they are. Doing it this way lets developers slow down how quickly people advance through the stages of their game as you need the loot from this dungeon to advance to the next one and so on and so forth. Yes, there will be people who currently have all of the gear for THIS dungeon who won't be running the dungeon... until they add another one. Gauntlgrym I think they called it. Something about dwarves and punching stuff.
No, this is not happend. PPls with gear will not do anymore dungeons, even with DD. All que for t2 dungeons will be from VERY WEAK players (if not buy real money), because they cant buy cat or stone, because they will have pvp gear or t1 gear. With this group, you even cant finished the dungeon, will be huge waste of time. Hehehe. Good luck in this ****y game
EDIT: If you read mine first post , the chance to get something value is aroudn 5 %, HAHAHAHA, This game is a joke..............
