Here's the complete patch notes for this week's maintenance:
Content and Environment
• Dread Ring Campaign task Decipher Thayan Writings can no longer be started more than 24 times as intended.
Items and Economy
• Black Ice Enchantment drop quantities have been reduced from all places they drop (Heroic Encounters, Kessell's Retreat and in the Need for Mead quest. This also includes Corrupted and Purified enchantments from the final chest in Kessell's Retreat.
• Cockatrice Companion's petrification now no longer penetrates through CC immunity effects and lasts slightly less on players than it does on NPCs.
• Enchanted Keys will now be Bind on Account on Pickup. This change is retroactive and is meant to reduce the negative behaviors of 3rd party sites with their use of keys. They will bind onto the next character that picks them up for cases where they remain in the Auction House or Guild Banks.
• Kessell's Sphere of Annihilation and the Black Ice Beholder Artifacts can both be properly equipped at the same time now.
• Throne of the Lion: This item is no longer considered a Mount. it still behaves the same, allowing you to sit and think, but can now be placed in the normal item slots, instead of in the Mount slot. it also no longer has the standard dismount when taking damage rules.
• Valindra's Crown Shard will no longer improperly reset internal cooldowns of other powers or remove buffs and other non-control debuffs.
• Waters of El'Hazad power text description now note that the healing effect is unaffected by Healing Depression in PvP as is intended.
User Interface
• Removed an old Leaderboard window that could be called up with commands.
• The Celestial Store Chest of Campaign Treasures now properly lists that it will only give 1 Thayan Cipher.

Join Essence of Aggression: PVP-ing Hard Since Beta!
with this i was able to show that your system dont work.
Better deletes it right?
now if you want AD for your Zen you'll have to use the ZAX (or use other, far less lucrative items which if ppl start doing enough will just get made BoP as well)
itis due to all whinning that zax has a big backlog so now that backlog will decrease.
this is some kind of new artifact? ^^
Not bad, my thought from this is make it where if you buy with Zen, item is unbound, but with the AD Exchange Zen, you get the item as bound to account.
I really don't think this is going to stabilize ZAX, people will simply use other Zen/lockboxes items to bypass it.
That's even simpler and better.
Great game BTW ... been playing since launch as a non paying player.
Have to say I'm getting a bit disillusioned of late though, 1st the value of my AD is roughly halved when coal wards are all but removed from weekly celestial chest and prices go through the roof then I have to wait a week to get any zen even at 500-1.
How about putting respect tokens on the Bazar?

We my see more trades involving other "non-currencies", like high-end enchants or 100.000AD Greater marks of Potency, and that will presumably work just fine for most people.
Now, what affects affects me is the reduction in BI enchant drop rate - I'm not surprised - the rate was very high - so high that you could make R8/R9 enchants in very little time - which was nice, but perhaps not intentional. Anyhow, I can live with that - with 3 greater fey enchants, I get a decent number of R4 enchants all the time anyhow.
If thats thier intention. What if it doesnt work? Normal free players will just be screwed from here on.
This was not just about 3rd party sites selling keys, there was a thread not too long ago, about people buying keys, etc then getting hacked.
This is my take on the change, as well. I have to think a lot of AH key purchases are impulse buys now - why else are people paying 80k (or more!) for something that costs under 57k using Zen? if ZAX remains constipated, I can see a lot of impulse buyers placing ZAX orders and then taking them down once the impulse changes to something else.
Gold sellers already sell itens for rl money, making keys bop isnt stoping then, reasons are:
Keys can only be bought zen store wich can only be bought by rl money, so those keys gold seller are selling was bought by rl money, just not they own money.
So gold sellers will just sell acquired itens insteed of the keys, and earn even more money with that.
You guys forgot a POST!
Items and Economy
• Black Ice Bracers and Main Hand drop quantities have been INCREASED from all places they drop (Heroic Encounters, Kessell's Retreat. - Seriously guys.....
Random Events + Random drop = TOTAL farming FAIL.
Oh and also, you guys NEED to make a system that allows players to bypass the current "daily" system as with each new module makes it more and more of a barrier to play multiple classes. Artifacts and Campaigns absolutely KILL any desire to do so - as much as one might want to play more characters.
This should be looked at as well....
If Waters ignores HD, now that Emblem has an ICD, it NEEDS to not respect HD as well... Either that or bump the ICD to like .5 seconds instead. It makes alot of these artifacts worthless compared to the healing you get with waters - from a guy who has legendary waters btw....
I don't think it's necessary. I play every class. Once they reached 60, I chose 1,2 or 3 to focus on to get their stuff. No need to go crazy with it. Just ignore the other guys for awhile.
Personally id like to see everything bound on account, not bound on character. This gives more seasoned players the ability to farm things on a main and pass it down - which would increase alot of activity for this game.
I should be able to swap artifacts over to alts like I can do enchants. I should be able to farm BI bracers on my main and have a chance to drop for my alts... I should be able to run a dungeon and get BOP items for an alt.
Basically items should work LIKE the Slayer Set does.... My 2 cents.
