I second this, if they can bring desynth in FFXIV would be good in this type of situation.
If you don't have crafting skills up, like repair option where others can repair for you have desynth option since you can't trade the item to them.

It seems hard to believe that they'd make it so you can't trade away a weapon if you use it at all. That sounds like something that would obliterate the trade of anything except consumables and crafting ingredients.
From the reps post it's not clear if this will apply to every piece of gear but the 1 spirit bond point I mentioned here means like you equip the gear go outside and kill one mob makes the gear bound to you.
