Ask before equipping BtCoE

[der_kluge]

So, last night I decided to move a BtCoE quarterstaff I'd looted earlier in the evening (which I wanted to place into my shared bank for a rainy day when I finally decide to make a quarterstaff wielding character), but unfortunately for me, the game decided instead that I wanted to equip the quarterstaff, which I promptly did - binding it to me forever, and now I have to stick it in my bank, taking up an ever more valuable bank slot.

Please, for the love of god, prompt a message box asking me if I want to equip something that is BtCoE the first time.

Later on, the very same thing happened with a breastplate that I wanted to auction off. When moving it to the AH, it decided to equip it instead - FORTUNATELY, armor takes a while to equip, so while it was equipping itself, I could move, and interrupt the process. This happened a couple of times before I was able to actually move it into the AH and get it out of my inventory.

that sucks. when did the warning get removed? I had a greensteel item I made just the other day and accidentally double clicked it, it asked clearly: This will permanently bind to this character do you want to continue?

Yeah, they really should have a warning dialogue come up. Until then, just make sure the item is not hard targeted in your Focus Orb before interacting with it and that should help you not make any more mistakes like that one.

Some items have it, many do not.

Glad they added that to GS at some point, I sadly have 2 GS blanks stuck uselessly on the wrong character.

And my oldest mule as two +1 tomes on his stats from back when +1s were very valuable and there was no "eating" or later "reading" delay on them.
