If BoP is here to stay, at least give the player the option to loot from an appropriate chest container. One that holds light armor gear, one that holds medium armor, and one that holds heavy gear. I am sick and tiered of receiving rewards that my character doesn't use or need.

I have been playing one character that has been wearing medium armor since the game launch. Why am I receiving light armor with magicka stats for completing end-game content? This should have stopped a long time ago.

or allow swapping of pieces between players (without money)

that still adheres to the principle that only players that earn the pieces themselves can have them.

it's all purposeful.
even the long loading screens.
call it conspiracy theory, but they benefit from that

I really hate BOP. It's the worst thing ever. I got items that are BOP that I already own and don't need spares of, Yet can't do anything but vendor it.

Since VDSA is outdated and every little thing is BoP i made zero gold.. since i'm vey unlucky with the gold upgrade stuff(1000mats = 1 alloy ) i can't even make me a legendary armor. I won't get the mats and can't sell drop sets to make gold so i could buy what i need.
I mean my whole income was the sells from footman and healer sets.. and i just have not enough time to climp up pvp leaderbords for some good rewards. I don't want to Q.Q but my options to get some gold are veeery limited, sometimes i can sell nirn traits but prices are dropping like hell.
So simply: give us more useful BoE stuff

Footman should still sell well; it's not like tanks have any sets to really replace it.

They could leave a few things bind on pick-up, such as maybe monsters helms or maybe Master's/Maelstrom weapons. Preferably combined with the ability to trade within the group for a few minutes, after killing the last boss.

Rest should be bind on equip. This endless grind with horrible rng and crappy traits is stupid and boring, makes people loose interest.

I guess it's somehow related to them not wanting people without the DLC, getting their hands on new gear. But so what if they did? I dont think a single person out there paid for IC or Wrothgar to get a specific piece of armor. I doubt they're getting more subs or selling more DLC, because of a horrible loot system lol.

Bind on equip is also a gold sink, when items are sold in guild stores and the game does the % cut. Dropped sets aren't generating any new gold, just makes old gold change owner.

I'm surprised by the amount of votes. Thank you all, hopefully soon the community will be able to get something changed
