Yeah, well the game ain’t all about you, slick.

Both Sev and Tolero have commented on this in the past. They make the decisions around here, so take it up with them. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to give you a prompt and satisfactory response.

Because I enjoy a game where questing is more important than trading across the board. If all the BtC stuff was made BtA the balance would be perfect for ny taste.
The fun part of EQ/FV was that you could do MORE questing as a result of zero bound items because you didn't need to farm anything -- just trade your luck for someone else's luck.

"Where to go XP?" was much more driven by what's the most fun or group-taste that particular day than by what gear do people need help getting.

FFXI unbounds were handled differently, but still fair. Many drops were so crazy~valuable that groups would form specifically to farm them. Everyone contributes a boss spawn item, the drops are all pooled, then sold, and the currency split evenly. If you wanted one of the drops, you got first crack at buying it from the group at a 1/5th discount (6 man groups, but peeps were usually OK being a little nicer to groupies on pricing).

The key aspect on unbound drops I've seen is that gearing up becomes more cooperative across a broader range of the player base.

The reason we'll never see unbounds on DDO is that they do NOT want us swapping luck. They want us buying more luck. We might see a BTC elimination in favor of BTA, though.

I understand your fascination but I do not share it. The exact things you mention as fun are the ones I consider less so.

Thus it is all a matter of taste.

Still, I would not say that BTC is problem per se, its stubbornness of SSG to give/sell us MORE bank space so that stupid TR cache goes away. I mentioned that many times, give us option to BUY more bank space!!! Personally, I don't have problem to buy more if I need it, Im always looking that as a way to thank you gesture to ppl who keeps this game going for years, but give us option to do that.
