Well here goes my last rant of the 2015, I think.........

Seriously any thing that could be worth anything in Orsinium is BOP!!!!!

WTF were you thinking!!!! ZOS!!!!! REALLY!!!!!

Now i know why America is in the financial dwang they are in,
Seriously....... .

How to kill an economy 101......

There is NOTHING in orsinium i can sell for gold...
Therefore i am another BROKE ASS MOFO in this game....

I can sell materials but seriously i need them to craft gear for my 4 VR16 Chars......

Seriously......

I have no issue with the maelstrom gear being bound but the other sets like succession, briarheart, pariah... .WHY!!!!!!!!!!

Which IDIOT thought this was a good idea.....

OH yes i forgot......
DLC costs MONEY,
Force people to buy it by making all meaningful gear BOP!!!!!

People should buy the DLC coz its fun to PLAY, AND IT FREAKING IS,
Not to get potentially better gear.......

BOP is the dumbest idea you EVER CAME UP WITH!!!!!!!!

FIX IT or at least let other gear drop that is NOT BOP so we can make some freaking money here to buy more mats to improve our gear...

    The jimmies are rustled with this one.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    I can understand the decision, in an "make people work for the new gear" kind of way... and likely, more "make only people who bought the DLC have the new stuff"...

    Though from what I saw of the new orsinium-only gear, it isn't all -that-... Nice, yes, but not "potentially better" then what people sell in crown stores for max level...

    The nice thing for me is, Orsinium gear can be gotten through dwelve dailies for solo players as well. Slowly perhaps, but possible.

    Of course... the question remains, will all future DLC also go with BoP, thus miring the economy in its tracks? Or will they have some BoE stuff for the traders to sell...

    I set up and voting thread on the number of BOP sets, you'll be happy to know the majority are with you on this.

    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/230817/are-there-too-many-bind-on-pick-up-bop-sets-in-the-new-content/p1

    There's no balance between BOP and BOE sets. It's like ZOS have no faith people will want their new content unless they are forced to buy it for access to the new sets.

    If gear is going to be BoE u can simply buy ALL the stuff that u need, and this content designed for months of gameplay becomes a money race u people will start crying lke babies and qq for a new content. Thats why they should keep this ****ing rng drop system with crappy traits like "well-fitted" (find sarcasm here)

    We could use a good mix of BoE and BoP for new set gear. I'm hoping it was a mistake that nobody noticed and wasn't done on purpose. Master weapons should be BoP. Trinimac, Briarheart, Pariah should be BoE and probably the drop sets in Maelstrom as well. Why was this not a serious consideration in development?

    They advertised it as "new zone with over 20 hours of story content". I wouldn't call that months of gameplay.

    You say that like it's a positive situation. But your sarcasm is noted. :)

    And the problem there isn't that BoE ruined it.

    The problem is the gameplay they designed there is dumb. If it was actually fun for all there would be folks in IC even after they have the gear.

    I despise this type of design thought...."if we can't figure out how to design content that they want to actually play, lets just make it all BoP so they have to do it...."

    Maybe they thought as CP is now easy grind, there has to be something to do. CP is easier now, so we need BoP more than anything, so that said, if CP is easy to grind and gears are easy to get, what theres left to do?

    Bind on pickup will get worse, until the forums are filled with threads about it. Then ZOS will sell unbinding stones in crown store.

    This makes Crafters and crafting much more relevant.
