Loot system

Please make sure that the best gear is not tradable. Otherwise pro guilds just let others farm their gear

The best gear is intended to be made by crafters so they really can’t be bound. Unless it’s been changed, bosses are much more likely to drop crafting materials than they are full items.

The thing with gear that doesnt bind is guilds like Method who have their 200 minions who just farm gear for the Mainraid

if 200 people want to do that, then let them.
Its their choice on how they want to play the game.

Also, thats a very Theme Park (WoW) specific problem.

Honestly I'd rather have bind on equip rather than having to replace my gear all the time because it decays. All gear temporary? No thanks.

You don't lose your gear lol? Just repair it...

Will there be enchanting like that in the game? I hope not, was never a fan of that type of system.

Yes enchanting + sockets from PvP

For all of those interested in gear/crafting economy systems, I implore you to learn about Albion Online. It has solutions to all the issues brought up in this thread.

A quick summary:

All gear is tradeable
All gear can be "trashed" (aka destroyed) if you die to players in certain PvP zones
All gear is crafted - with the crafter's name on the gear.
Gear drops from mobs are also player crafted. (distributed via the "black market" system in the game)

The combination of all gear being player crafted, gear not being BoE, and gear sometimes just being trashed, makes for a much more engaging/interesting player economy. It allows players to be full time crafters if they want.

Even WoW is moving towards the idea of allowing players to be full time crafters. The new dragonflight expac is introducing a work order system that forces players to get help from crafters to make their BoP gear.
