Bind to Account Items?!

Posted September 11th, 2008 by Isobelle

Apparently there’s a new type of item in the beta purchasable for some sort of Token Drop that allows you to buy items that are Bind on Account, and actually scale with your level. You can use the same item all the way from 1 to 80, and then pass it off to another alt on the same account. I would imagine it’s restricted to a server, I mean… it would have to be. There's all kinds of stuff, from weapons to armor, with more being added I'm sure.

When you think about this on a grander scale of things, I… uhhh… have no idea what they could possibly be thinking. A single weapon that you can use for the entire climb to 80? Why bother forcing people to level at all?

The entire story is courtesy of mmo-champion. Go check it out.

 

THIS STORY HAS NO INTERESTING BODY TEXT, THAT WAS ALL OF IT IN THE TEASER.

SORRY.

It's kind of sad that they all look lame though.

 

If they're actually going to keep them with an item level of one, then you can't put any decent enchants on the weapons D:

I'd be sick if they came out with a "build your weapon" from 1-80 sort of like they did with the blacksmithing weapons.  But just having its stats scale with level is lame city.  I want new graphics/names etc.

 This is the sort of jump the shark idea that scares me from blizz.  I disagree with the laziness being displayed here.

There's nothing to say that the items will be more powerful than say, a blue quest reward or instance drop. In theory you could get a nice hat from SM at level 40, replace your BoA item for a few levels, then pick it back up again once the items level exceeds the drop. Of course it may not play out like that.

You buy them with level 80 tokens atm, so it would only apply to rerolls.
