How come?
And will it be retroactive on equip we already have. Like say I now have 2 GG weapons currently not bound to me but in my bag. Will I be able to auction them after the patch? or will they be stuck on my character?
Economy, Items, and Rewards
•New items have been added to the Trade Bar Merchant in Protector's Enclave!
•Mounts: Small Forest Stag
•Companion: Phase Spider
•Fashion Set: Sun Elf Noble
•Gear: Sinister Weapons
•Bounty items now belong in currency bags.
•Gemmed Elegant Pants now actually display as pants (instead of a second shirt).
•If a player has an item equipped and an identical item in the inventory, the items now properly switch when double-clicking on the one in the inventory.
•If a player has no lower-tier Scrolls of Identification and tries to identify a lower-tier item, any other valid ID scroll in the inventory will now be used.
•Items purchased via Seals and Glory are now bound to the character when purchased.
•Resources and Assets may no longer be put into banks.
•The Astral Diamond refinement limit now resets daily at 3AM Pacific time, regardless of when the player refined over the past day.

That being said, they really should provide something for players that have outgrown their usefulness, to still get something out of having them - like maybe an AD bag that costs 100 seals, and has a variable amount of ADs in it, commensurate with the kind of seal used, (like the Pegasus bag would have fewer, and the Drake one more).

TR's will have an interesting read as well. CWs get a bunch of changes as well, maybe they got a buff idk. Didn't read that section.

So a person doesn't like PVP for whatever reason. Now he/she is forced into the PVP. Id believe this will lead to more afkers and leavers.

You'll now have to sell items to the salvager to make seals and glory useful. Great this will solve the problem of bots in pvp, oh wait, are bots allowed to use the salvager as well? Or they'll just continue to buy and sell glory potions to convert glory to gold.
only thing it will do is slow gear progression, nothing else
OMG! EXPLOIT ALERT! Inc PVP potion can only be bought and not sold...

Chances are that if you've only got 2 or 3 of your T1 PvP or Grym set, the post patch sets won't work with prepatch items. Better get your PvP sets while you can folks.
oh and also the companions obtainable through this methods just became obsolete...
A question that I have is if the grym coins that are earned in the Gauntlegrym event are considered seals, and if the gear you purchase with them will also be bind on pick up. It would be good to know because many folks run GG on multiple toons for the daily AD reward, so the toon we were gearing up may not be the one who has all the coins in their inventory. If a dev or moderator has that information, please share.
Finally, if you are level 60 and have already either geared up in PVP gear, or surpassed it...what good is glory to you if you cant sell the items that you turn it in for? If they activate the salvager, then the bot problem doesn't go away, so this seems to be a needless change. Hell even if you can sell PVP items for gold the bot problem doesn't go away. If there is nothing to "earn" in PVP, then many won't do it. If anything the bot to real player ratio will increase as some folks just won't be motivated to do PVP anymore.
I think the BoP seal items is to counter the selling of Drake/Unicorn items.
Not true - if there is no way to profit from PvP then there will be no point in bots being there. So if the rewards are made BoP and unsellable then there may be less players, but there should be practically no bots.
In any case, I'll be spending all of my seals before the patch goes live on non-set items to sell. Maybe someone else can get something out of the seals I've been picking up.
They would have to make the gear worthless to get rid of bots. I really don't see a better way to go about it then this. They will need to make more and varied bop items though.
When the Devs were considering making most Epic Drops Bind-on-Pickup they also considered adding a Epic Savager who would buy your epics for AD.
Nothing came of it AFAIK as the BoP plans were not implemented.
Not true - just make the gear BoP and you are done.
Most of the botters in PvP are doing it on throwaway accounts to farm glory to convert to AD. Trying to bot on your own account where you have other characters would be risky.
I'm not saying how feasible this is, but the only true way to solve the problem is to have GMs in the game (much like everquest did), that are quickly responsive to players reporting bots so they can witness it themselves and then ban the account. If you take away every motivation for someone to bot in PVP, you inherently take away 90% of the motivation for a player to do PVP. It is a double edged sword that is too hard to completely eliminate, they can only put it in the too hard to do for what you gain category. As long as gold or AD can be gained in some shape or form, botting will be prevalent.
Gold is also valuable. PVP'ers would want more choices in the store. PVP'ers do so for the fun of it, sure, but everyone likes to be rewarded. Perhaps some expensive items to work for that had no value other than utility. Mounts is one way to go.
So make any Glory items unsellable to a vendor or worth 1 copper.
Make the Daily PvP and all other in-match rewards for wins only, and add in a penalty for quitting and anyone with a bot in their team will just AFK which means that being a botter will get never get you anything.
And then there will be no reason for botters to take part at all.....
What will happen next is they'll add these new classes right, and then people will come back to play the game and not be able to build their toons worth a darn and wonder what happened. That's what I'm seeing. Why is it that Devs don't see in most games that Altaholics need BoA gear and that it should have been BoA since the beginning?!
Im not sure about that, Ive thought about that and it looks good but then the Bots will prolly just start selling them for whatever gold or silver thay can get and instead of glory farming you get gold farming we will have to see.

Tested on preview with pre patch set mixed with new BoP items and the 4 piece bonus worked just fine.
