Suggested change to BTC items

[Thuldorn]

I was on a VoD raid yesterday with my Rogue, hoping foir some goggles. Low and behold on opening the chest I get...Gloves of the Glacier! Totally unusable for me. I put them up for roll and the only Arcane already had them and nobody wanted to roll on them. Now I have a Sorcerer that would love to have them, but they're BTC so my only option is to hang on to them till I TR as an arcane (if I do) or sell them to a vendor.

Why not make items like this Bound to Account on acquire and Bound to Character on equip?

Sure there would be less rolling for items, but I've read plenty of complaints about people not putting things up for roll even when their toon can't use it so that shouldn't be a consideration.

because then people wont allow rolls on anything, it will allow lower level toons to get high end content-imagine getting a ToD set on a fresh lvl 18-game breaking

No.

And just to cover all the other threads that'll pop up begging for this easy button this year:

I don't think so tbh. When items become bta, players will actually put items up for roll more in the long term, because they'll have it faster on their account. And I really don't see the issue with a toon-transferrable ToD set (non-upgraded that is) if you've earned em before yourself.

The major drawback I would see with this, is that raids get run less as players would no longer need to regrind stuff again for each and every toon.

No. Raid loot should be used by the character that gets it. Period.

GLoves can be used by arcanes and divines equally. Even my bard carries Maximize and could use those gloves.

If everyone had them already, oh well.

I would like it if all BTC items were changed to BTA and BTC was abolished altogether.

BTC prevents people from bringing the most useful toon to a raid as opposed to the one that needs the item.

I only tun TOD on my ranger because he needs the tempest ring. I have several healers/kiters that can run TOD but I need the ring on my ranger so I run him.


Same can be said of all raids.

How is a Tempest not useful in ToD? Couldn't you just run your other toons while the ranger is on timer?

umm your ranger can only run it once every 3 days whats stopping from running your other characters those days he is on timer

Right, so basically, you want to get good loot for your gimps, because your gimps are too gimp to get it themselves. Unfortunately for you though, if they're that gimp, they need to be rerolled, if not outright banished from existence.

Except in my case I got them on my pure ROGUE, totally useless. And I did put them up for roll, for some reason none of the casters (any variety) wanted to roll on them.

OK, then it becomes vendor trash, AKA, more money in your pocket. More money is not useless

The Gloves drop fairly regularly anyways. It's the Bracers that are the valuable part of that set.

[Kinerd]

Why?

[Uska]

Why?

For raid loot the character should earn it and we have enough easy buttons already.

Earnest question: what about Chronoscope?

[Zharfie]

Earnest question: what about Chronoscope?

for chronoscope the easy loot makes kind of sense since it's such a low level quest and the stuff is so low level that most people will out-level the quest very fast and never run it again at level. if the stuff was btc it would only be useful as epic and for TR toons.

chronoscope also gives named items as end reward every time and they drop from the chests like candy.

/not signed for the btc -> bta change.

People will still run them for tomes and random loot. But mostly for tomes.

[Uska]

NO it would put a near end to loot sharing in raids this topic keeps coming up I wish people would search and see it isnt a popular idea
