Making furniture bind-on-equip won't really help anything. I'd rather not have a bunch of furniture taking up space in my inventory, so I put it in storage houses temporarily. I still want the option to sell it after I do that. If anything, it would make people more reluctant to invest in furniture if they know they'll never be able to sell it if they don't like it or need to remove things to meet the item limit cap.

I'm not sure why you're so concerned about the furniture market crashing, since if people want to make a profit then they're free to price their crafted goods higher than the material input cost. If they don't, then that's not a big deal either. The big-ticket items are going to be profitable because of their relative rarity, not because of how much they cost to create.

No more bop please.......I would be happy to see the furniture market disappear. Sorry, sick of everything looted being diluted by millions of green designs.

The permanent existence of furniture is already a problem. Once crafted, it can never be destroyed, and you're forced to keep it forever or unload it onto someone else. If it becomes bop without introducing the ability to deconstruct it, it just creates a storage and inventory nightmare for everyone.

I mean, you can right-click, destroy it. It would be nice to decon it though.

I craft furniture and sell it. And often i see it in the sale below cost of materials.

This is a fundamental problem that's been in the game for a long time, possibly since it began. The problem exists because it's fairly easy to become able to craft an item (limited by the rareness of the recipe) and the crafting process involves no labor. From an economic perspective, the product is no more valuable than the materials. The materials can be worth more simply because they have the potential to be made into many different things.

The situation will save only the binding of furniture after installation into the room.

Set equipment is bind on equip, and that doesn't make it valuable on the market. All it does, essentially, is remove materials from circulation.

The solution is to somehow make the act of crafting either limited (eg. ten items per day) or difficult, or both. That would give inherent value to the crafting, and therefore value to the product in addition to that of the raw materials. If that is combined with something that removes items from circulation (like bind to account on use) you might even get a stable price over time.
