Account-bound items vs enhanced loot drops: where is your point of indifference?
" This is a good point. I think no matter how much they adjusted drops, as long as there's some necessary RNG, there'll be room for complaints/unhappiness. And that unhappiness is going to be increased by orders of magnitude if bad luck/shit drops occur after a drastic change such as massively increased drop rates+account bound/self-found. Also, I'm an idiot. Self-found. Account-bound. This is just THAT THREAD again. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

" Source: D3 Forums :P Account bound will not happen because it kills off Guild Stashes, another possibly valuable income source for GGG. It also might add up to current P2W discussion as you won't be able to do mule accounts anymore. They'd need to increase Stash space. That would kill an income source again.

Charan, Xav - should I assume there is no IIR/IIQ boost that would convince you to play account-bound?
Actually, the reason I started this thread is that I'd like to make a unique which gives a boost to drop rates, but with the downside that any drops are account bound. The idea would be for it to be a unique ring, but with its stats completely rollable to anything (like a rare) - so it would not be constrained to the use for a small number of builds. My problem is that I don't know where to pitch the enhanced drop rates, hence the thread. P. Last edited by mrpetrov#7089 on Jun 6, 2014, 6:32:08 AM

" I think if you play self found, you would soon realise that drops are more than sufficient. A lot of traders think drop rates need to be improved because they never improve their own gear after buying the best of the best. I wouldn't change drop rates at all. I have already turned all my loot into account bound by choosing not to trade :) Just for try for see and for know -2013!

Nothing would tempt me to play this.
Actually wait, maybe if monsters get +100% damage per person in group with this toggled on and party is always public as cutthroat. Then I might play it for something in this suggestion that might actually be fun :) That way, you can block player invasions with a full group. But the cost +600% damage makes is tough to maintain. I suppose the reward should be some increased rarity, but not much. This would have some impact on the game whether you want to admit it or not. |

" Dude, they'd never allow that. And take it from someone who has been told 'No!' by the devs likely more than anyone after days of anticipation: don't let yourself run away with an idea they'd never allow. It just leads to heartache and disappointment. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

Yeah, I would not play much in an account bound system.
Part of what makes items interesting is their possible use to other builds and other people. The game then very quickly reaches a point where no upgrades can drop and there's no motivation to pick most items up. Right now this game is in a sweet spot for loot value. Out of all the ARPG's on the market I pick up and look at the most loot here. The suggestion in the original post would ruin this. |

Yesterday my friend, for testing purpose, asked me a romira's banquet sitting in my stash and I gave him my ring for a couple of hours. Also yesterday I gave a fire doryani's invitation to another friend (dropped a couple from atziri so no need for two of the same item in my "collection" stash) How can we do this with your ring? For me is an easy "no ty"
