Item Binding

[Valmonte]

Imagine in real life if you spent £10000 on a brand new car and two years later you wanted a better one and had to throw that car on the scrap heap because you can't re-sell it. You would think twice before burning £10k in future. The same will happen in the game, people won't be willing to pay what items are worth when there is no re-sale value.

This,
I really don't think they've considered the human reaction on this. there is no way this is going to help crafters, people will simply stop buying gear and find alternate means of acquiring gear. hell, i wouldn't be surprised too see a guide eventually written on "how to Level without buying gear til cap".
