Bound Purple Items

All purple items I found in dungeons recently were bound before I equipped them. If I recall correctly that was not always the case. I think a few weeks back I could buy some of these items on the guild store.

Is this a new thing or am I mistaken?

    A while. I can't remember which content patch introduced it but I know it was out there for a few weeks before they patched it.

    Wait, which was the bug? I hope the bug is that they are bound now.

    Most people don't need all of the items they find and it's a shame to deconstruct an item you spend 30-60 mins for in a dungeon.
    Also this will be wonderful for the economy. Being able to trade these will making visiting guild traders a real alternative to dungeon crawling.

    Nope, the bug was that they were BOE a few weeks ago.
    They were always meant to be BOP.

    Well in that case that might be a design flaw. ;-)

    Why would it be a design flaw?

    - it prevents people farming and flooding the market
    - if you want it you have to do the dungeon and chance your luck on the drops
    - there are many ways to make shed loads of gold without peeps selling stuff from dungeon runs.

    From my experience, this is pretty common in MMO's

    For a small amount of time, the items that dropped in trials where bind on equip instead of bind on pickup. That bug has been fixed. Warlock and loot from the first three boss is normally sell-able (bind in equip) but the real loot (last boss) is now always bind on pickup.

    In vet dungeons, a few new sets have been added, theses are bind on pickup. There was already 3 sets that where already bind on pickup, they just added a few more sets to the list.

    But they also created a few new purple sets that were bind on equip, but they mostly drop in arena. Doing arena takes time (about 2 hrs to clear) and you use lots of potions, but you get to sell the loot you do not use. Most dungeons take 20 mins or less to clear, but a lot less of the items that drop are sell-able

    B) Thank you! I just learned something that was confounding me in my game. Some things were bound before I equipped them and some not. I just couldn't figure it out.
