Now you might get say $50 for it if you try to sell it. Because now you can get a brand new 50" TV for $1000. Everything loses value over time. This is how the real world works. IMO your point is invalid.

    Again I do not support this change and can not see any reasoning behind it based on the comments I've read in both threads regarding this matter.
    Something that has retained some value http://www.ffxiah.com/item/12555/haubergeon

    Haubergeon you know why because its used to make Amarda Hauberk and with aguments its BiS still for some jobs. The thing is since you have to use an abjuration on it the gear becomes bound to you.

    Like I already said having stuff get bound to you works much better for the economy because once someone buys and uses that piece of gear its taken out of the economy. When gear is never destroyed and can be resold infinity market gets flooded and prices tank really fast.

    Its not a MMO but has a similar gear system, Diablo 3 does not have bind on equip items when you find or buy something better you can resell your old gear. What happened as time when on gear on the ah became more flooded with a bunch of the same types of of items and prices overall tanked really hard on everything.

    People really should stop saying this stuff, I hate this feature WoW used it. Because WoW wasn't even the first game to use equipment binding they didn't create the idea.
