The industry pretty much learned that lesson back in EQ1 I think. Without binding (BOP/BOE) everything gets sold (inevitably for real currency) and no bosses are meaningful ("You killed Ragnaros for your Thunderfury?! Why? Why not just buy one of the 200 Thunderfuries on the auction house instead?")

Yeah, AoC didn't have it at launch but they were forced to add it after a few months since it totally broke the economy.
Originally posted by Stormola Does anyone know of a current mmorpg with a decent population where the gear is not restricted - No BOP / BOE / etc ?
The closest I can think of is ESO, where you can freely trade your gear between your characters.
But you're probably hoping for something where you can trade with other players I take it.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)
Well I do know 1 MMO game wherein gears are not restricted but then, others were Over-powered especially those whom obtained from events. They also conduct regular sales about upgraded weapons or weapon parts that has maxed-out stats. Kindly try/test Rohan:BF.
