Soulbound items in WoW

[jim5000]

Does anyone else hate the whole 'soulbound' business in WoW? I think it's really annoying that you can't use an item then pass it on to someone else (either sell or give) when you no longer need it. Bind on pickup is even more annoying! Sometimes you get a quest reward you can't use but know others people that they would be perfect for, but you can't give it to them!

In BC, blacksmiths are going to be able to create epic items but only the creator can use them! They should make it really hard to get the materials, but you should be able to make them for others!

It's the one thing I hate about the game; Diablo worked fine without having soulbound items, what is the thinking behind it?

I hate it to , but it's trying to minimise people ebaying gold

If people are really that sad that they want to ebay gold, then let them. Out of the hundreds of thousands of people who play WoW, it will be a tiny minority who are that desperate to get ahead that it won't make much difference to the vast majority of players, and wheras soulbound items really annoy me

Ok, maybe some items should stay soulbound, but at the moment practially everything is! Every item that is non-standard is soulbound, and there is plenty of low level stuff that BoPs in the lower dungeons like the deadmines and things which it would be nice to be able to sell.

Keep the elite quest items as soulbound, but the vast majority of stuff needn't be. It would be nice if smiths and the new jeweller professions could make great items that they could sell...
