    Default Please make an bound item unbindable.

    I have a valuable item and I have bound it to me using Stone of Change in order to prevent it from taking permanent damage. But such bound item cannot be traded/auctioned. It can only be sold at a vendor for a poor price.

    Please make an item which was bound using Stone of Change unbindable so we can sell it in the future.

    Or put Stone of Unbinding on the DDO store to let us buy and use it.

    Why did you bind it in the first place if you weren't going to want to keep it on that character. You took the risk yourself, knowing full well the consequences.

    The un-tradability is exactly the sacrifice you make by binding it. If items could be unbound, then permanent damage wouldn't exist in-game.

    I mentioned this in the original post. Because I don't want it to take permanent damage.

    I could maybe see offering a way to make those BtC items (not just ANY items, but the altar bound ones) become BtA...but not completely unbound. Perhaps a second more expensive recipe to make altar-BtC items become BtA.

    well, you anwered it yourself a few posts later: cause then we could just remove perma damage totally from the game

    unbinding defeats the purpose of binding
    so remove binding

    also, what would happen to the rituals on it?

    Which is the trade-off you make, You'll never lose it due to max perma-damage but in return no other characters can ever use it.

    You should be grateful, in most other MMO's all items bind as soon as you pick anything up. DDO is quite forgiving in that respect.

    So what would be the point of being able to unbind it? You bound it because you didnt want it to take Perm damage. If you had the ability to unbind it, would that not defeat the purpose of the ritual?

    I would much rather see the items Bound to account instead of character... but being able to unbind completely, no thanks.

    BTW.. what is it you want to unbind?

    I'd be ok with unbinding, if and only if the item retained permanent damage (which is surpressed due to the binding keeping it all together), and if you unbind the item it immediately receives all permanent damage it would have otherwise received, in addition to a 50% additional permanent damage due to the unbinding process.

    To be honest, suck it up and learn from your mistake. You can't unbake a cake or unscramble an omlet. Be glad that the item wasn't something like a Planer Grid or a Bloodstone or a Ring of Feathers... you know, something valuable. Do research before you mess with stuff like that. It can wait a hour, a day, a week, or even a month.

    Worse comes to worse you vender it for the amount it is worth or you keep it as a reminder of your impatience or lack of thoroughness.

    I would be OK with unbinding if during the process the item exploded and deleted the players account.
    There is no lag. Just because you had none before and can't play now doesn't mean the server move had anything to do with it.

    Default Undinding and deconstruction

    On items that were bound to toons through the Alter of Stove change sure let it be able to become unbound but with a chance of having permanent damage. Possible as the following:

    01-20 No Damage when Unbound
    21-45 3% permanent damage
    46-60 5% permanent damage
    61-75 10% permanent damage
    76-85 15% permanent damage
    86-94 25% permanent damage
    95-99 50% permanent damage
    100 100% permanent damage

    At one point I thought there was suppose to be a chance that we would be able to deconstruct some of the mistakes done on Greensteel Items but have not heard anything new on that item.

    And that is the POINT! You wanted to keep the precious item safe while enjoying its power. Now you are either wanting to sale it because you have a better version, or want to hand it down to a new character.

    Had you wanted either to be an option you should ahve chosen NOT to bind it and either store it safely in the bank or accept the risk of permament damage.

    That is why there is permament damage, and why they gave us a way to protect our favored personal items, but if you like to alt alot and twink alot then you must accept that hand me downs will build up some wear and tear over time.

    Oh right, you were the guy that thought we needed to change how Fred looked because it was icky to let him touch your head to change a feat.

    There is some argument that binding should be BtA instead of BtC, but there is no justification to allow items to unbind. At that point you are just arguing for now having any permanent damage in the game.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that. To the OP, do you actually spend some time thinking through your suggestions before posting them?
