That's the real phenomenon you're seeing. Now, 2 gcp *can* buy a 5L. Before, 12 gcp was barely enough to buy a 5L. That's called currency getting *stronger*, not weaker. Just fyi. ;)

Hit the nail right on the head.

I consider 'bound' gear to be one of the worst things ever created for video games in the history of video games.

exactly but the maj. of players play softcore. But as Currency gets stronger and ppl having all their items they need because they can transfer all their gear to another character it makes trading obsolote over the long run.

Suggests BOE

Looks at profile name

Makes sense

but if you think more about it you will see that it will kill trading in the long run... sooner or later everyone will have their Goodlike gearset if they just play long enough

I prefer using orbs aka currency for crafting as intended. /shrugs

People will quit w/ hordes of orbs in their stash and new peeps w/ come w/o an orb to their name.

No they won't, as gear disappears when you die.

You're conjuring up a problem that doesn't exist because it was already solved in way more interesting and elegant ways than you can ever conjure up.

The fact that you refuse to use the solution does not make it invalid; it just makes you silly.

If the core game design behind PoE is not to your liking then play something else. This will never be WoW (the game that introduced "bind on whatever") and thank dog for that.

Well, if it is true, that cool stuff will get cheaper, than I will eventually be able to trade again.
All this insane playing made people rich and prices went up. I don't "farm", I slay a few monsters and try to survive, don't own a single gcp or exalt. So... 5L I'm coming ;)
