It is list of threads of every single class in EQ whining about how thier class sucks compared to some other class and/or that they are underpowered comapred to class X. |

So... Business as usual on the eq2 "its whineplay, only for a different game" forums.
Is anyone actually surprised by this?

The best part of SWG was the easy account cancellation process.

First line of that post... Taken from EQII forums, I didn't compile it but I thought you all might enjoy this.... I'd read that before, it's stickied on the official forums. Alkiera |

They probably all feel so underpowered because all the classes are underwhelmingly boring.

At least nothing in EQ2 is soulbond. Fuck, I hate that mechanic.

At least nothing in EQ2 is soulbond. Fuck, I hate that mechanic. Is that the one where it stays on you when you respawn after death? Cuz if it is, it'd be more accurate to say that EVERYTHING you are carrying in EQ is. The only reason to go back for your spirit shard at all is to recover your statloss and some xp debt. |

No, it's when you pick something up and noone but yourself can use it. I.E. I'm out hunting and find this awesome sword of jackass slaying +1. I can't use it cuz I'm a finger wiggler. But my warrior friend isn't in my group so he can't loot the corpse. Since I have to pick it up I can't sell it at an auction or trade it to an enchanter to be disenchanted. It's just mine. My awesome useless sword. Meh.

I thought Soulbound only takes effect once you equip the item? But I never tried to trade a soulbound item that I haven't worn, so I could be wrong.

Depends on the item. Some stuff is soulbound upon equip and some is soulbound as soon as you pick it up.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

Soulbound does refer to items that would respawn with you in orginal EQ. It was a mechanism generally only used for keys.
Schild you mean No-Drop. And there are plenty of such items in EQ2, tagged No-Trade. There are also Attunable items, which become No-Trade if you choose to equip them.

They call it soulbound in WoW. Some things are "bind on equip" (like EQ2 attuneables) while others are "bind on acquare" (like EQ 1 NODROP items), but they all say "Soulbound" on them in WoW once you equip/pickup, which is I presume what he's complaining about.
In WoW, most of the useful things are bind on equip to cut down on mudflation. Drops from bosses in the instanced dungeons (and presumably raid drops) are bind on acquire to cut down on mudflation, to prevent excessive farming/twinking, and to keep the achievers happy. Since you typically have 5 people in an instance group, it's pretty rare that nobody wants a drop, unless you are farming the place for the nth time looking for a particular rare or semi-rare drop. Once in a while you'll get leather rot because there are no druids or rogues in your group.
