Wanted to float an idea I had to help discourage weapon hoarding and increase the ability for GM's to release rare/high end items at reasonable cost.

Bound Weapons and Armor... Essentially the idea would be any item over 7x, or with a mechanical script (non-standard flares/ect) to be automatically bound to the person who
swings it/holds/wears it in combat.
10 days of having an item in your possession that fits the above criteria without being used are automatically bound to your Character(or account, not MA)

The only way to transfer said items is to buy an Temporary unbinding potion from the SimuCoin store that would unbind a weapon for 10 days, make the price point like 60-100$ worth of simucoins, and of course rebind based on criteria above.

This would both discourage hoarding of high end items, decrease it's availability since most would be unwilling to pay the additional price for xferring, as well as allowing Simu to make a cut on the PC Sales... it would also bolster the enchanting market, since those would be the only "readily" available weapons....

I dislike this suggestion on so many levels...

Account binding / character binding will NOT increase the number of new awesome high end items released into the game. Wyrom has stated this on multiple occasions.

I could say a lot more but I think this first point covers anything else I might say anyway.

I hate the way WoW items are bind on character, it breaks immersion and leads to a stagnant, boring market, one of the most interesting things about the GemStone economy, and the Eve Online economy...
