Please no items binding to players....

[JillyBean]

I have been so on the fence on this, feeling posts on both sides of the argument are valid, literally flip-flopping as I read. In general it tends to worry me. I want it to be good for the game and I'm not sure it is. I don't mind it if somehow it really is good for the (future of) the game.

Here's something I recently thought about that I don't like at all...

In ARR our signature will appear on every item we create. So I want special items to be re-made so that they will be signed. But, this will be at a total loss because we cannot repair and sell or give away the old item. Well, I guess we can make materia from it...

I see what you mean, though your signature will be on what I call 'gift items' - Items you make specifically to trade to a player. Since they only bind to you once you've gained 1 point of spiritbond you can still trade unused gubbins to others

Well, what I mean is that items that are currently on my 1.0 char, I will want to have some special things re-made so they will be signed by the maker (or me). I will then have duplicates of these items (one signed, one old unsigned). So the old items cannot be traded or sold (to absorb some of the cost of re-making them), they will just have to be used to make materia.

I suppose I can also use them in other item/job sets.

Oh the old ones I think you will be able to trade as long as it's not dated (since dated is becoming u/u form the last I heard), and I think all spiritbond etc on gear will be reduced to 0%, kinda like how we're losing all out rested exp and such on the changeover

That would be a nice touch. So we don't log into every single thing we own bound to us (having not been warned in advance). ^^

For sure!! I am hoping that this is the case, I have some items I really want to pass on to my husband^^;
