Item Binding

[Kryptic]

Maybe I am reading into this wrong or something but from what it seems it will be harder to transfer items from person to person which isn't to great. The great thing about older MMOs before a lot of this binding was you can share and let friends borrow equipment and it allowed for more person to person interactions.

If we can't lend/borrow gear we're going to grow apart as a community? /skeptical

This isn't a weird change its in most every mmo. Gear in modern mmos is replaced at a high rate usually. You will be going through tons of gear as you do quests and level up they using the quest leveling design that everyother mmo out there now uses. Either you will be npcing a lot of gear or converting it to materia as you level, probably just npcing since low level materia don't seem to sell well. Anyone like someone else mentioned you won't be starved for gear due to quest rewards.

Why would they put in a npc to delete SB points which would totally defeat the purpose of binding gear? I asked this before? If they were going to allow such a thing why have gear bind in the first place?

I'm not asking to defeat the purpose of binding gear, all I'm asking, is that IF I want to unbind it, can I have it please? Of course, I don't like the idea of binding. But instead of being that guy saying "OMFG please god no!!!" I'm just wondering if we can have the best of both worlds.

It's a personal choice I have, just like someone who has an item that is 100% spiritbound that chooses not to create materia out of it...or if I put the wrong materia on a piece of gear, I can talk to a golblin and have him take it (or them) off.... I want to be able to trade/swap/sell gear that is non ex IF I choose to and how. This is a FF game isn't it? Last I checked this wasn't GW2 or another WOW clone.....omg wait..

A compromise to have this freedom would be the best, cuz you can have it your way, and I can have it mine.

No I didn't say that I'm just saying it allows for more communication and just some general interaction relax Hiir -___-

We understand what your saying, however in a situation such as this is would far less complicated and cumbersome to just not have bind gear at all. People that would not want to resell would not and people that would could, all your doing is adding a middle man to something that if left untouched would have the exact same result you are speaking of.

To be honest tho, I'm just all kinds of antsy waiting for beta, and at the same time apprehensive about changes like this. I understand that a lot of stuff needed to be changed from 1.0 going forward and into ARR. BUT there are things like this, that I'm pretty sure wasn't an issue in 1.0 that I just don't feel was worth the development time, or even changing.

BTW Zumi, don't mind me because we're still not even in beta and anything could change. Who knows how things will go or change as the beta comes and each phase passes? Not trying to insinuate that this thing in particular will change, but anything can.

o.o Hi Sieg! I didn't recognize you in the forum form...um

I didn't like borrowing gear to be honest. After doing it I would just go and make my own because I felt awkward and nervous about losing it. >.>

[Kryptic]

It's all good, well you can do both! If you don't wanna borrow it, you can add to the economy by making your own and selling it later or go out and borrow a friends, no reason to restrict people that's what is suppose to be great about MMOs. The more the better.

Also I can't count how many times I would go to an event in games and people forgot stuff in storage whether it's gear or items and I would let them borrow mine for the fight and get it back after.

With gear sets this shouldn't be a problem because we will be able to carry all our gear without taking up inventory space! ^^
