What do you think about everything being BoP in Update 12?

    Damm it that is crap

    Gold jewelry has never been in vet dungeons and always was a special reward for doing trials or doing well in PvP so why would that change.

    Because of ZOS ? most items were not BOP and now they are.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    Bind on pick-up seems to de-promote community. It makes so much more sense when you get a reward you don’t need for yourself to be able to share it with a friend who does, or to sell it to other players. Either of those actions contributes to the community of players which enhances the experience in an mmo. Preventing this and making everyone work for themselves instead of working together takes away from the sense of community and causes a sense of dissatisfaction with the waste of getting ‘rewards’ you can’t do anything with but destroy.

    Bind on pick up type items are cancer because If I can't use or need the item then let me sell it or give it to friends or guild mates BOP is bad and shouldn't be a thing

    I don't care one way or another.

    Occasionally, I'd buy a set or 2 for theorycrafting but only because I'd grow so sick of trials that I couldn't bear the thought of getting together 12 competent people and grinding them for those sets. Now that trials drop utterly useless gear (barring a small handful) I will never need to set foot in them again and can just farm everything I've ever wanted to test with only RNG as my true enemy.

    BoP is only an issue for people that like to make quick cash but that only effects people that care about the economy of the game. For people like me that only care about screwing around with ideas, BoP is hardly a big deal.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    don't do it...I could kinda see BoE on everything, but not BoP...one of the things that the ES series, ESO included, prides itself is the wide-open (sandbox?) nature of the game...you can do whatever, whenever, wherever (most of the time)...

    If I understand it correctly, with BoP, once you pick something up, it's essentially useless except for your own personal account, to use/craft/deconstruct/research, or to sell to a vendor (I assume)...selling through guild or through chat is totally off the table.

    If you raised the gold value of everything, then that could offset some of the loss of selling things to other players, but the game then feels more restrictive, a whole (fun and interesting) layer of the game is essentially stripped away. It'd almost be like having to turn off of an 8-lane freeway, and have to detour onto a 2-lane highway (thanks Pure Prairie League).

    its a good idea because its not happening.

    not everything is being made bop in OneT update 12.

    So vote good idea for better worded polls.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    Maybe we won't notice there's no new playable content because we're too busy grinding the same old content over and over and over again for gear since we can no longer buy or trade for the pieces we want.

    QFE. No bind > BoE > BoP but ZOS won't listen. Still waiting on an actual explanation why they feel this change is needed.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    I understand why it is made, it makes sense to work for your gear and I couldnt agree more with some posts I have seen defending BoP.

    But, sadly, not everyone has all the time in the world to play and farm dungeons and trials. I play a lot, I run some dungeons but I never can run trials due to my working shedule, and I don't think this should keep me from getting good gear.

    I currently have all my gear crafted by myself but in the past I bought gear with gold that I would not have been able to get otherwise!

    i think it a good idea in the long run , with this system in place it means the dev are force to add more new dungeon/trails rather then depent everything on crafting.

    it even good for the end game economy overall

    It's about time games drop the boP/BoE mechanics, keep the bind on account for some crown store stuff but drop the BoP/BoE for the rest.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    ZOS at times confuses me with the directions they take.

    They limit the cap and make leveling easier so that the casual player will not be too far behind the hard core I play 12 hours a day every day type of player.

    They make all the great stuff in update 12 BOP so that only the hard core people that farm and farm and farm can get it.

    What's up with that?

    I am against BOP.

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    Well while the overland sets are now grindable in Update 12, still, I do not like the idea of BOP. Let`s say BOE is acceptable, but BOP? No! Why should we be not able to trade and sell anything in the game? Why is there some exclusivity at all? Why can we not even sell to any guildtrader and not just our own??

    It's not a good idea and here's why:
    BoP gear of any kind limits trade, stifles the economy, and fails to capitalize on the fact that every player prefers to run different areas in the game, getting different types of gear, confining everyone to only be able to use what they find themselves.

    Thought this was a single-player game method, but apparently not in ZOS' world.
