Pre-Bound Drops?

Yesterday I joined a small group and killed the boss at Solace Fen in Grahtwood. She dropped a very valuable resto staff, but it was already bound when I picked it up. I have no use for a resto staff with my build, and could really use the gold for my light horse.

I noticed this earlier with another boss that I killed in Auridon. Is this an intentional feature? It seems very counterproductive if it is.

    This is very normal in MMO games to have items that are BoP - Bound on Pickup, especially some special drops can be like that.

    How is it that an item, Like Papa's Backscratcher, which is dropped only by Lonly Papa in Alik'r is being traded around in zone chat, yet the one i picked up was prebound?
