In case EME has not noticed, WoW is not doing to hot. They are losing Subs at an all time high.

I had a discussion with some friends a while back about the Dungeon Finder and how it was not the reason WoW became a stagnate cesspool. The reason was that the entire WoW system pigeonholed players in to running dungeons to accomplish anything.

1. World drops(mostly BOE) were static and never improved to match dungeon.
2. Enchanting was static and never improved to match dungeon, the ones that did match, also came from dungeon.
3. Everything was Bind on pickup. There was a handful of drops from a dungeon that were not BOP, 95% of all dungeon drops were BOP. This meant that was little loot went on the auction house was vastly inflated. So the only way to get that gear was to grind the dungeons. All useless gear to the party gets VENDERED!
4. Flying mounts.

By implementing BOP you are going to KILL all fun that currently exists in the game. At the end level players will not get a choice of how to play. You cant choose to go out and farm until you can buy your gear, you cant farm until you can craft your gear. You will be forced to run the same stupid 5 man 16 times a night until you get your drop. Add in the Dungeon Finder and you have no reason to ever leave the city.

My god you would think watching WOW slowly commit suicide you learn from their mistakes. But EME didnt learn from the mistake of Censoring Elin, I guess they dont have the brains to learn from anyones mistakes, even their own.

So this is a elin censorship thread in disguise...got it!

Quit the crap.

BoP is one of the best changes they are implementing, everyone is just QQing for absolutely no reason.

Give me ONE reason as to WHY BoP, gear you work for, is better than BoE, gear you purchase.

BoP is a good idea. Enough with the pointless whining. If Tera had no way for you to use BoP gear you couldn't use, then you'd have something to complain about. But you can extract or use it for enchanting fodder.

This is not a "WoW idea" they didn't create it. And BoP items are not even on the top 100 reasons why the game is crap.

Everything you listed, except flying mounts, has been in WoW since its birth. It's done OK since then....

I have a feeling the same idiot behind a computer screen is making multiple accounts just to spam this complaint....

on that note, EME specifically said they will only make the best equipment to be BOP, not ALL the items. He wants players to feel rewarded for running the dungeon(s).

shut up and deal with it.

OP, you're forgetting one important factor in the market that benefits from having more BoP items in the game. Chronoscrolls. If you allow people to buy the best stuff off the AH, prices will skyrocket because people selling Chronoscrolls will have all the money. Eventually you can't even farm up enough to even buy anything off the AH by regular farming and will NEED to buy a Chonoscroll or two to sell in order to afford anything. WoW has nothing to do with it. Think about it for a moment before you post.

A bit dramatic don't you think?

On BoP Items, like others have stated, there is Gold BOPs from high level dungeons. Obviously EME has more insight of what future dungeons will add, but consider not going so far. As this is a Korean MMO, the drop rates are already lower than what we prefer in NA (mostly because of spoiled from games like WOW/SWTOR drop rates). BoE allows us to trade and get rid of unwanted gear. Why I do not want more unnecessary BoP's

~ Items are already scarce.
~ The auto distribute system is by default the party loot. BoP would prevent the right player from getting the item in this case. Would lead to MASSIVE tickets since many people are not familiar with the auto distribute
~ Frustrations from the wrong person getting the item ensue
~ Discourages trading for gear and therefore discourages market and player relations with BoP.
~ (big one) If no one needs the BoP it is now 100% useless. Not everyone knows the extraction system, and therefore many won't have a high enough skill. The mats from extraction are minimal at best, meaning that shiny blue drop that someone could have at least made good money for or traded for an item they could have used is now 2 ingots and valued at 1/nth of the item.

This is a pretty weak argument, Phantazum.

It's not going to "kill" anything. BoP's are there so that you have an incentive to actually go out and get gear rather than throwing money at a vendor or broker and watching gear magically appear.
