Hi all,

We have decided to make all the new PvP reward Resources bound. This is due to player feedback and the creation and farming of clone accounts for PvP points in order to gain such items.
We hope you understand why we have been forced to take this action for it will help stop players from taking advantage of the system and create fairness on the PvP ladder.

We'll also be reviewing your feedback on the forum tomorrow in regards to other aspects of the PvP Ladder and making changes to improve it accordingly.

~ The Fallen Sword Team.

First smart thing about PvP ladder...

It's useless knowledge if not shared.

no offense, but the fact a few people want it bound seems rather silly to me. I would rather you guys make more of an effort cleaning up the abusers then just making this slapdash decision, which screws over any guilds who purchased the items, any merchants who did, and anyone who maybe cared a little about pvping for profit. Now you will have the same small group of people pvping, and everyone else wont give a damn, just like before these updates.

not to mention that the arena is totally screwed up, since only a few arena players have these items, and now very few others will ever have the chance to acquire them.

Very disappointed in you HCS...... really

Its only the resources, not the items they create.

and how is this fair to the players who actually work hard and spend a lot of fsp buying tickets buffs etc another one of the shocking decision bye HCS thought use had something in place to track multi accounts down and only a few people have asked for this why not do a vote before this decision is made :evil:

The equipment/items made from the resources need to be bound also, or this fixes nothing.

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of angry players who aren't interested in PvP but do donate and do like the look of the rewards.

My question for the Cows is as follows:

Most of the players who have managed to end this musical chair dance in the top 5 have been level 300 or below, meaning they cannot use even half of the rewards currently available. Yet, 1st place on the ladder nets 100 tokens, enough to invent all (or nearly) of the sets in one go.

Yet a player finishing just five places behind - 6th - gets 1 token, and if they are a level 700 player trying to build agiads, they'll have to place 50th through 6th for months to build 1 set.

How does that make ANY sense?

You're never going to please everyone, for sure. And as long as the point distribution remains the way it is, there will still be a very small majority of people controlling the flow and cost of these items into the game. Spread out the points over the entire top 50, give smaller rewards to the top 5 and maybe things will even themselves out.

AS for the currently bound Moo Banks in the AH, I am guessing they now will become bound to whoever buys them.

Uhm...if the resources are the only things bound, what stops the level 5 multi from walking to Snow Forest East (a level 2 zone) purchasing the recipes which aren't level limited, inventing the Extremely High Chance inventing gear, and THEN selling it?

Bingo.

Spread out the tokens more and make it a top 100 list.
