As the title suggests, why do we have SO many soulbound items? Like i cannot even trade half of the crap i get?
I'd really want that more of the items we get are NOT soulbound.
Ever thought about the implications of this....?
We get drowned in tons of gear so that's why it has to be soulbound. I wouldn't mind some sweet BoEs dropping more often though, not enough surprise drops these days.
Just Scrap the Crap.

There is none...
So mythic raiders are the only ones allowed to sell boosts? Is that what youre saying?
I cant even trade to irl friends or guildies.
The only bad thing is people selling loot which already happens but only mythic guilds get the privilege... rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
At the very least the rare crafting mats of a given expansion should be account bound.
I can get the behind of thinking that the Legenderies could be soulbound, but the other stuff, even the epic stuff should be tradeable to other people etc.
Wanna give your little bit unluckier friend that cool piece of gear that you CANNOT EVEN USE YOUSELF? No, because screw you, its soulbound.
Like we should be able to trade that sort of stuff away to our friends or to sell em to people in need for a nice little profit. It's an MMORPG for godsake, where you should be able to interact with people in trade too.
This is how i see and some day i hope devs will see it this way too, so we can have even better game at our hands. :)

Could this be the reason maybe.

Swing and a miss. It's so people have to put effort into their characters rather than just getting everything passed down to them.
It doesn't surprise me that you were one of those that didn't think it through.
And don't go the "but the boosters!" route, thats a fraction of a %.

But people getting things handed to them exists like i said... boosters ar mythic geared si hand everything down. So your point is pointless.
And doesnt surprise me? You post nonesense in every thread.
Explain what you mean by i dont surprise you? All my characters are 375+ and have had nothing handed to them.
So yeah swing and miss? Your full come back was pointless and silly as i see boosted people with 385 gear alk the time and cant pkay for crap

^ this. or not bound at all even, like the old primal nether, vortex, frozen orb, etc. oh how many times i thought of that!

If more loot would be BoE, the top-end players would have more loot to sell, lower level loot would be extremely cheap, and people would be skipping huge parts of the progression path.
Loot should only be mats for crafting, not equippable, and all items BoE - but then items would need a progression system where they would increase in "level" by being used to clear content. That way people would be able to sell loot, without the buyer being able to easily skip progressing.

Primal Nether was soulbound on release and only got changed later on when people were going into MH and BT already, iirc.
But there were items that were BoE, that you were able to craft with nether.
The reason the gear is also soulbound is so that you "earn" the gear you get.
Also without gear being soulbound it would become a pure pay to win game. Where you can just buy your way to be decked out, which would complety kill the game off and become a credit whale game like archeage.

Enough with the soulbounds! At least make them account-wide! Soulbound for selling them in AH or giving them to other ppl, but available to transfer them to your alts.
I do think there is scope for more BoA items. The Dauntless catch-up gear in legion could easily have been BoA, my main got loads of those items that were useless and my alts could really have done with them.28/10/2018 15:18Posted by CalydorAt the very least the rare crafting mats of a given expansion should be account bound.
More rep locked items such as recipes should be BoA also, reps should only NEED to be grinded once.

I never said make it boe. Just make it tradable to whoever was there during the kill. Its dumb how you cant.
People still do skip as boosted runs get everything handed to them. Ive seen people full 385 with a 333 neck lol... pure boosted from 120 in mythic raid
I do think some gear should be BoA and not BoP or it should become BoA when you get something better.
It should never be trade-able to other people.

It's fine.
Without BoP items it would be the World of Diablo3 where eventually they had to shutdown the AH and with that they would have to revamp the way we acquire items and trade them and I don't think they should do it, however, I do think that some items should be BoA like some crafting materials and I'd be happy if the crafted item would be BoA as opposed to BoE as a trade-off.

No, it will be a worse game. You clearly never played old MMORPGs in the past or you must be to the MMORPG scene.
Making more gear BoE will increase the value of gold, RMT will increase a LOT. When I swapped from FFXI to WoW it was the first thing I noticed, by making the gear soulbound you kill a big part of RMT. Do you think people will farm their gold to buy the pieces they want on AH? NO, they'll go buy gold from chinese websites because the coin is too expensive.
It doesn't matter if it's an item upgrade or a piece of transmog, if it can be bought with gold it's RMT target.
I don't care if some rich idiot 1 out of 1000 wants to buy a mythic boost for 1-2 pieces of crap, we are talking about the majority of the population.
Soulbound items is one of the things that WoW always did right to keep the game healthy.
